  • So helpful on my journey

    I have a son with severe ASD who is mostly non verbal. This podcast has been invaluable to me when we are going through tough times and periods of challenging behaviors. She gets it which I value because there aren’t many of us dealing with these situations. Thank you Lisa, you’ve helped me more ways than you know !

  • I can now see the Forest

    Before I found Lisa I couldn’t see the forest through the trees and was spinning my wheels trying to prioritize everything except me and through her coaching recognized patterns made positive changes that benefit me (and ultimately my family)! I don’t just see the Forest better - I’m forging a clear path through the trees and owning it!
