One of Lisa's IG posts inspired me to reach out to her and invite her on the show. This was Lisa's message to herself that stopped me in my tracks: “Same day, same dress, same kitchen, same heart, exactly 8 years apart. This me wishes that she could tell that me it’s greater, later. #YouKillingitBabyGurl”
This post stopped me in my tracks because it reminded me of the power that we have to give ourselves hope and inspiration.
Wherever you are on your journey, Lisa has an incredibly powerful message just for you. Listen all the way through to the end to find Lisa's gift that will fill your heart with hope, love, and encouragement.
