  • This is a must watch show!

    Fantastic show. Lisa does a wonderful job creating a space for an entertaining and insightful conversation. Some podcasts are just an extension of the host's ego. Not Lisa. She genuinely wants to share value with the viewers. And is not only good at getting value out of her guests, but understands how to give that space so great things surface.

  • Amazing Host!

    I had an amazing time on the show. Lisa is one of the very few hosts/hostesses who isn’t afraid to talk about difficult topics and go down dark roads. It was a lot of fun having actual meaningful conversations, and hopefully helpful and enlightening to the viewer. I’m really looking forward to seeing her again next month!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sexual Addiction & Betrayal Trauma: Boundaries, Grief and Healing with Roxanna Johnson
Q: What do we need to be talking more about in these conversations?
We need to discuss the dysfunction in homes caused by addiction, give space for spouses and children to express pain and safety concerns, and promote practicing and honoring personal boundaries as a path to healing.
Sexual Addiction & Betrayal Trauma: Boundaries, Grief and Healing with Roxanna Johnson
Q: In your own life, what did you perform in order to survive? And what did dropping that role mask or performance do to help you?
Dropping the performance revealed Roxanna's true self and allowed her to reconnect with her passions and identity, which had been suppressed; she describes rediscovering Roxie, riding a motorcycle, and reclaiming personal desires as a foundation for healing.
The Longest Distance: Men’s Mental Health, Male Loneliness & Emotional Healing with Daniel Sterling
Q: In your own life, what did you perform in order to survive? and what did dropping that role, mask or performance do for you?
He identified as his ego—ski racer, TV figure, writer—and by shedding that performative identity and embracing honesty and humility, he gained freedom from constant defending and learned to own his actions, which transformed his relationships and self-perception.
The Game of Ten: Moving Beyond Fear, Self-Doubt, and Shame
Q: What would you tell someone who keeps repeating the same relational pattern?
Steve explains that we attract what we are; by examining subconscious maladaptive behaviors and practicing forgiveness—starting with thoughts rather than the person—people can break cycles, forgive the thoughts, and let patterns fade as they reorient toward ten and present-moment awareness.
The Game of Ten: Moving Beyond Fear, Self-Doubt, and Shame
Q: What did you perform in order to survive, and how did that perspective shift?
The host asks about the survivor's performance to cope; Steve explains he initially manifested emotional numbness, not feeling, and later learned to acknowledge and process emotions. This shift began with therapy, confronting guilt and shame, and then adopting The Game of Ten as a daily practice to reframe awareness from fear to presence.
