Imagine getting up every day full of energy is

if you were in your 20s. Again, what would that be? Like? What

would that be worth

to you? What is your health worth to you? Think about it.

Your health isn't everything. But without it, everything else

is nothing. And yet too many of us are taking it for granted

until something goes wrong. No one wakes up hoping to be

diagnosed with a disease or chronic illness. And yet, we've

never been taught how to be proactive in our health through

our school system, or public health. As a registered health

coach and integrative health practitioner, I believe it is

time this information is made available to everyone. Combining

new knowledge around your health and the ability to do my

functional medicine lab tests in the comfort of your own home

will allow you to optimize your health for today in all your

tomorrow's. Don't wait for your wake up call.

Welcome back to the don't wait for your wake up call podcast. I

am Melissa Delia, your host and very excited to bring to you

today. A new friend of mine, Lisa Brewer. Welcome, Lisa.

Well, thank you for having me what Thank you for

having me. I'm super excited about this.

Me too. It's so perfect that I've recently met

you and your work is in the field of inspiration and this

month is my focus is on inspiration. And it just turns

out that April has five Saturdays, and I needed an extra

show. And you popped into my life. How amazing is that? So I

just want to introduce you to the audience. Lisa is a doctor

of metaphysics and divinity CEO of heart and heart of

inspiration and founder of the practical lightworker program

and YouTube creator of her channel heart of inspiration.

Lisa teaches Lightworkers that making a difference can be

rewarding both empathically as well as financially. I love

that. So yes, you popped into my life for a reason. And you were

gonna say something a moment ago about that. So I'm gonna let you

share that and share your story. How did you come to be a doctor

of metaphysics and focusing on inspiration in the way that you

do?

Yeah, thank you, I was just going to say that the

universe always conspires, right and make sure that we get to

meet the wonderful beings that were meant to at the absolute

right time, you know, if you practice being in that flow, and

that's a huge part of my story is being in the flow, right? So

I'm very definitely working on practicing

now and surrendering into and I love it when I do when I

surrender into it, the answers come the resources show up the

people are there.

And yes, and, and it's interesting, because at first

when we do surrender to the flow, so we could just let's

just go here, when we surrender to the flow, what happens at

first is, we naturally feel a little bit nervous, right?

Because we are kind of our third dimensional selves, our third

dimensional brain and ego is kind of is releasing

relinquishing control to an energetic, whatever soup if you

will, that it can't see taste, touch or feel or hear, right.

And so when we do that, we don't really recognize that we're

actually surrendering ourselves not to some external force, but

to ourselves, we're actually just kind of allowing our spirit

or our Higher Self that is eternal, has been here from the

beginning of time to be here to the end, because you can't, you

know, you can't destroy or create energy. And so that

energetic essence is what's having a human experience. So

really, it's our own humanity that's having this experience

that we just kind of say, Okay, I'm not going to actually

control everything. I'm gonna allow the eternal energy,

wisdom, love, light, beauty, all of those things. What's of my

highest good to actually move me into the right direction. So

scary at first because you're like, Well, I don't know where

that's coming from. I've got to make it right. I've got to like,

get in here and do or something.

Especially if you have all that dialogue of

doo doo doo and you got to work hard for success and all of you

know I have a lot of that going on. And I'll admit, I'm a little

bit of a control freak. And so, you know, learning to let go is

you're right. It's scary. And it's hard. Yes. But it's

rewarding to.

Absolutely. And in letting go, what the coolest

thing is, is I've recognized as I actually gain more control.

And let me explain that to you. So, because I don't feel on a

consistent basis that I have to make things happen, right,

because I was told the same things that you were told. And

you know, and it's been Mike growing up, right, it was

always, for me, being a melanated woman, young woman at

the time child, that I had to work twice as hard to get half

as much. So you know, because I had all these strikes against

me, I'm female, I'm a melanin in my skin, right? You know, all

these things. These are strikes, and heaven forbid, actually had

children, I didn't stay married to the person I had children

with when I'm single parent strikes, right? didn't finish

college. Because, you know, the original College, Northwestern

University, studying about chemistry didn't finish that,

because I got pregnant my senior year and ran out of financial

aid all at the same time, strike, there's all these things

that I was told that I should not be able to ever have been

successful in corporate America, be a minister, and ordained

minister in the nondenominational church go all

around the country raised three kids climb the corporate ladder,

you know, but I also though, had all of these entrepreneurs had

these entrepreneurial failures, I started to gain a ton of

weight, I started to not eat very healthy, didn't have very

healthy habits, no time for exercise, no time to eat good,

no time to do this. No time to do that. And then my body, you

know, develop high blood pressure, diet, pre diabetic,

like all of these other things, and that even of itself, even

gaining the weight, then there's a strike against you in

corporate America, right? Because you're not a certain

size, right there. Are there all of these biases that exist?

And how many people listening are relating to

this right now? Right? It's not like you're the only one and yet

it is a strike against, you know, all of these things are

strikes against so many people. And the reality is, is that some

of those strikes trigger, you know, the responses, and the

actions taken by you, which lead to the next strike and the next

strike. Right, in this messed up judgemental world that we live

in. Yeah, yeah. Which is still a wonderful world. But we, you

know, when we come from that place of love, and curiosity and

inspiration, as opposed to judgment, that's when it can be

a wonderful work.

Absolutely. But you have to do that for yourself

first before you can do with anybody else. Yeah, that was the

thing that I that if I was kind of like, the theme, right? Is at

some point, I had to learn how to have compassion for myself

first, I had a ton of compassion for everybody else. A ton gave

gave gave gave gave to corporations, to people to

children as to that all that. But I didn't have any compassion

for me. Right. So all the stress I was putting myself under some

of it was like, normal, okay, we got to put food on the table,

keep a roof over our head, you know, being a single parent.

Yeah, okay, I get that. But really, it because I didn't

truly love myself. And I didn't have a good passion on myself,

that showed itself in over eating and making bad choices

not doing these things. Because on all honesty, I didn't feel

like I deserved any of that. I didn't deserve to have this

life, whatever this life was, the body then was experiencing

all of that. And when we put ourselves under so much stress,

you know, we're going to hang on to write the visceral fats and

we're going to, you know, we're gonna go to the comfort that

quote unquote, comfort foods, you know, before we choose to

eat in a healthy manner, because our brain hasn't like kind of

turned all the rest of that garbage off and said, You know

what a salad can kind of be a comfort food, like, actually now

I'm like, Oh, let me just go make a salad. That feels real

good right now, but I just switched my whole thing rather

than that piece of chocolate cake to. Oh, that sounds pretty

good. You know what I'm saying? And just become that

compassionate person oneself and really feel like I deserved to

live?

Yeah, yeah. So there's a lot of personal growth

in there a lot of mindset shifts that are happening through that

process as well as even potentially tapping into the

unconscious mind to release some of what has been deeply stored

in there from those formative years of zero to seven.

And that then has been put upon and put upon letting

you know when I think of the layers of the programming that

we receive, not just from zero to seven, but from seven to 70

and 70 into whatever right. It's so multilayer it's just line

upon line, precept upon precept, that we have to make that some

point we make a conscious decision. Hopefully, to say,

this does not need to be this way, I do not need to live my

life this way. And a lot of times what will happen is, you

know, some people will go on a weight loss journey or a health,

a healthy living journey, and not even realize that the true

journey is the spiritual journey that is happening, right? That's

where you get to the core of everything is by going through

the spiritual journey. In our world, we will call it the dark

night of the soul, right? We go through this, like, oh my god,

right. But we've got to do that to root out all of these

programs and the energies and emotions. And the guilt that we

hold on to that doesn't belong to us. The shame, that doesn't

belong to us. I mean, women we were that we imagined men to

write, we were that around our belly, I learned that belly fat

was because I was holding on to I was holding on to like this

guilt and the shame. And this was a protection device. So

people wouldn't come close, right? That's like, that's

crazy. To me, it was absolute craziness to me. But it's so

true. is so true. And then as I began to be willing to shed that

protection, get into the flow, it's kind of all goes back,

right? Get into the flow and release the need to control

because the more I try to control every person and every

energy, and every ounce of my life, the more out of control,

freaking god, I did not get the results I wanted, right, because

I was actually pushing away the very thing that I wanted, which

was just to live in peace and love and harmony and neutrality

itself. So it started moving in slow, and I'm like, okay, then

the little things happen. I was listening to one of your

podcasts, and you were talking about admiring the sunrise and

how we would never use your wake, right for the sunrise. I'm

listening to you describe, sitting on that dock, right? And

watching the sun come up, what a beautiful and amazing moment in

time, and what a beautiful energy to make yourself a part

of him to be in concert with, without having to think about

anything else. Just gonna watch the sunrise and the dawn of a

new day, that now I get to do all these new wonderful things.

It's a new adventure, but you put yourself in that flow in

that adventure, and didn't worry about what else was going to

happen for the rest of the day. I thought was that just to like,

wake up and not and enjoy this? To start my day? How

inspirational is that? You kidding me? Just doing those

things, then open things open so much more up for us.

Yeah. Yeah. And you're right. And that that was

an amazing experience. And I'm grateful to my daughter for kind

of bully me into being willing to get up early enough to

experience because it was pretty early. We didn't want to miss

any of the sunrise. So we had to get up when it was still pitch

black right so that we could then see those light colors

start to come across the sky. And and it is it's it's the dawn

of a new day where it doesn't matter what's happened before?

No, this is a clean slate. We can start fresh. Yes. And it

happens every 24 hours. And Mother Nature is always there

doing its thing, despite what we as humanity are doing, right. I

mean, we only have to look at the last two years and the

craziness in the world from the perspective of what we humans

have had to deal with. But everything in nature has

remained unchanged. Although they've had The benefits of us

slowing down a little bit in the world getting a little bit

cleaner. Absolutely. But they just keep doing their thing.

Absolutely. And then if you think about that, and

internalize it and bring it into the esoteric, right, every day,

your son or your solar plexus, every day your son dawns, every

day, it dawns. It's a new dawn. So when you allow your son to

rise up over the horizon, and you allow your light to be

turned on, and your power, then to be emanated from you, every

day is a brand new adventure, every single day. So what are

you going to do today with today, and not worry about what

happened yesterday, because that's dead and gone already. By

the time you're any of the listeners right now, by the time

you're listening to this, by the time you process, the words that

have just exited my mouth. It's that time has already passed.

It's already in the past. So we're actually when we say we're

being like mindful and present. We're actually living in a

perpetual time loop of President past president past, yes, the

key is to get out of that time loop and allow the flow of the

future, to allow your consciousness to be in the flow

of the future. So that it inspires, and it molds and it

shapes every moment as you become aware of it in the

present. And then alters your past. So that's the place to get

to. Yeah, yeah,

I love that. And so tell, tell me more tell me,

like, how does one get to that or tell me more about the

courses that you offer, if that's what gets you there. But

I'm just intrigued to know more about the practice of getting to

that place.

Well, getting to that place is all about learning to

live in neutrality and learning to live in your higher self.

Some people might be familiar with the hermetic, seven

hermetic principles. And, you know, we find these principles

actually in in different religious texts and things of

that nature as well. But it's really learning that you are a

energetic or spiritual being having a human experience, it's

not the other way around. So for me, and every given moment in

time, I have surrendered to the flow. So I just know that

whatever I am experiencing in this moment, has been ordained,

right? And is of my highest good, and that my energetic

being, is guiding it in concert with creator with God with

source, whatever name you wish to associate, however, the

universe or God has revealed itself to you. So that that

conversation is always going on. Right? So I talk a lot about

that on my YouTube channel, heart of inspiration. And on my

Instagram, which is at heart of ANSP. We do a lot. I haven't

quite cracked the tic tac code. Maybe I'll get on there for the

young folks at some point. But so those two my main two places,

right, and my website, we put out a weekly newsletter, we

talked about that kind of stuff, harder inspiration, dotnet. But

what I do is I help Lightworkers or people that are of light,

people that wish to be transformational. Coaches,

healers, teachers, mentors, that they want to put their stamp on

humanity. Right, right. Yup. This is who I am. And yup, this

is why I want to do with my life. And maybe you're wanting

to become part of the great resignation and actually be an

entrepreneur. Like, like I am, right and, and like many others

of us. So I help you do that I happen to step into your

purpose, I help you gain the esoteric tools, if that's your

what you'd like to do gain esoteric tools to live in your

purpose, and then also create an actual business. That's what's

called the practical lightworker. So it's not just a

hobby, right? It is, who you speak it to what what

transformation, like I take you through every bit, every bit of

it, so that you can have a solid foundation to have a thriving,

create a thriving six figure business. So that's what I do.

It's called the practical lightworker. And I'm, go to my

website. I'd love to chat with you. It's wonderful. I love it.

I love it too. And I think it's such a needed

service right now because so many people are really heart

centered and they're wanting to give and serve more people, et

cetera, et cetera, but they're finding it hard to make money.

Look at that, right? Absolutely. And so having people be able to

bring the two together. And very often it's, you know, again,

coming back to those blocks from our younger years that are

getting in the way, right. And I was just doing some tapping this

morning on this very subject, right. And because I'm working

on it myself for myself, too, and it was just, you know, part

of it is that realization that it's, it's okay to make money

serving others, because when you make that money, then we'll a

it's a sign that you're serving more people, and be you can do

more with the money that you're making.

Absolutely. Right. And it's not about the money. I

think that's what people need to like, we it's an energy

exchange. And so this is what I teach as well. And you know,

there's a, there's a fabulous transformation that happens in

Sox as we work together, and really step into your purpose.

Because my mantra is to give permission to your purpose to

provide for your person.

I like that.

And so at some point, I had to get permission, right?

And so that's what we did it help others. But when you grow

so much, you want to my inner child healing, and you went

about that, is that get in there because a lot of that has to

surrounds money. I mean, even in, in any religious text you

read, anytime the prophet or the teacher came to town, did they

just let them come to town and not feed them not clothed them

that give them money for their trip on their way? That they did

not bring them something as a gift or a token of their

appreciation? Of course they did. It's just now the token of

our appreciate appreciation rather than a goat or a fine

linen, or some some frankincense or myrrh other oil is in the

form of money. Yeah, it's no different

as you say, it's the exchange. Exactly. It is.

Absolutely is. Yeah.

So I'd love to go back and have you share a

little bit of your story and how you came into this work and how

your own spiritual growth has impacted your health and well

being.

Awesome. So you don't have a long sordid tale here.

But what I can tell you is so I'm the mother of a single

mother of three wonderful adult children, two daughters, one

son, and the grandmother of two beautiful granddaughters. My

eldest granddaughter is going to be eight this year. I've been an

ordained Christian minister. I've been in corporate America,

all these great things and wonderful things, right.

However, I lost my father when I was 40 years old. He was only

65, almost 66. At the time, he died of a in a diabetic coma. He

had battled diabetes, he was adult onset diabetes, he never

would eat right Dad never would like he just refused. So he

could have actually type one, nipped it in the bud and didn't.

And then ended up insulin dependent. And eventually that,

you know, that took him and my mother has his Crohn's disease

is that Crohn's disease for as long as I can remember. And so I

lost that at 40. And then short not too long after that. My son

and his girlfriend at the time, were pregnant with my eldest

granddaughter, and I was almost 300 pounds. I was severely I

really, really bad high blood pressure. And I was pre diabetic

high cholesterol. And I was so she'll be so I'm 33. So I was

like, 4546. So it's been five years after dad passed. And I

realized that if I didn't change, I wasn't going to be

able to see my grandma, my granddaughter. Become a woman.

Like I didn't know how long I was gonna live. Right? And that

shook me into changing my lifestyle. You know, over the

years, I've lost probably I'd lost at that point. 85 pounds,

probably put a few more pounds back on, you know, her I'm 53.

Now, so that's that battles a little tougher. But during that

time of weight loss and transformation, and then as when

she was born, I realized this, I'm holding her. I'm like, This

is my legacy. You know, your children. Yeah, either. But your

grandbabies are really your legacy. And I said, I'm going to

teach you everything that I wished I had known. Great. Your

father was little right. And that really catapulted me into

this inner child work. And this inner child discovery and this

spiritual discovery outside of whatever religious norms and

everything else and to finally get into a place where I

actually loved myself. Because yeah, your kids love you. But I

don't know if your grandkids but the grandbabies love you in a

whole new way. You literally can do no wrong, you are a saint.

All sins are forgiven, you are a saint to your grandchildren. And

it really teaches you how to love yourself. Unconditionally.

Yeah, because that unconditional love is being

mirrored right back at you from them. Yes. And probably from

your own children when they're really, really little. But at

that point, you're just so busy trying to do everything that you

need to be doing to care for them that you're not noticing

it, you don't have the same awareness of it as you do with

your grandchild where now you've, you know, got some time

and you're not having to care for them. 24/7. And it just

shows up and mirrors right back at you.

Because it's beautiful.

It is beautiful. And I really love what's so

beautiful is to is that in, you know, she's teaching you as much

as you're teaching her.

Absolutely. And yes, and she's teaching me reminding

me how to be young again. Yeah, the other thing I've found out

through this spirituality, this like journey, and really get

into this quantum living and just living in a space of

neutrality without stress and strain. And all this stuff is I

feel like I'm turning back the clock. In other words, I'm

living a healthier lifestyle. Why? Because I want to take care

of my body a little bit more. And I want to put less of

certain things and energies into my being. Because you know, I

want to remain in tune with the universe at all times and my

higher self. And then what happens is, you get younger,

it's kind of crazy. But like where I had osteoarthritis and

my knees, I don't have that anymore. You eat better for

other reasons. And now all of a sudden, all the inflammation has

left your body and you're like, Wow, I feel pretty darn good.

You have so much more energy. And people on a regular basis

are like your house? No, no way. And I'm like, Yeah, and I don't

know how it's supposed to feel that I certainly don't feel it.

So it is made a huge difference. I mean, I'm no longer pre

diabetic, I've perfect cholesterol, we're almost off

all of my high blood pressure medications like I might, I am

in probably the best house at 53. That I have been in probably

three decades, to be honest with you.

And I love that. And I particularly love it

because that's actually the work that I do with my clients all

the time. And it's it's who I am, too, I say that as well. I'm

the same age as you are. And I, you know, I feel better than I

did 20 years ago, because in the last seven years, as I've moved

into my health and wellness journey, I've slowly taken the

baby steps to implement all the learning that I've had in how to

take better care of my body. And the desire to want to take

better care of my body and to recognize that my body is my

health, and my body is my greatest asset. And so why am I

not prioritizing it as my greatest asset? Right?

Absolutely. Instead of taking it for granted and thinking, I

don't have to worry about my health, if I get sick, I'll go

to the doctor, they'll make me better. It's not their job to

make me better. It's my job to look after this asset. Just like

I buy a house I look after the house, I take the garbage out

and I do the vacuuming and the sweeping and I you know, fix

things when they're broken. And I renovate when I need to or my

car, you know, I clean that I take it for oil changes, et

cetera, et cetera. Yeah. So when we align and we respect our

health in the same way and treat it as an assets, like our other

big assets in our life, our body is incredible, because it is

designed to self heal. And it when we create the environment

for it to heal, that's exactly what it will do. So

congratulations to you for being able to get you know, bring your

cholesterol levels down to being normal and almost off your high

blood pressure medications and you're you're gone away, et

cetera, et cetera. So amazing. It's truly amazing. Thank you

what the body can do when we step into that. So how did you

find the inspiration yourself to step into your purpose? It's

your granddaughter's part of it. Is there more to it than that or

that was she was really that was the answer. ration.

I think the next biggest thing was when my second

marriage broke up near I thought I had the life perfect life in

my late 40s, right. And then my second marriage, completely

exploited and imploded. And all in the same 30 days, to break

up, move him out. And then I was downsized from my corporate job

at the time because I stood up for someone in my organization

that was being bullied. And so all of a sudden, in 30 days, my

perfect life was in shambles. And I couldn't find solace in

anything that I had ever found it in before it was all fake and

phony to me. And finally, as I finally said, Well, what do you

want to do lease? What do you want to do with your life. And I

didn't even know at first fully what that meant. All I knew is I

wanted to help other people find themselves love themselves and

not get into toxic relationships over and over in any toxic

romantic, or, or career or friendship, or familial. Like, I

recognize that there was toxicity that littered my whole

landscape. And I kept choosing and kept getting in these

situations, the pattern that we keep repeating, yes. And my

desire, my need my absolute, like, I've got to get out of

this, get off this hamster wheel, right. And live life is

what propelled me into starting to find my purpose. And so

that's when I started the YouTube channel. And then I

started working with women in different ways. And men, some

men as well, but that were like going on this path, right? of

toxic, toxic, toxic and just like suffering all this stuff,

right. And I was I needed to help them out of their trauma.

That's how I started. And then it over three years, four years

now, it's become my life, and it's become everything that it

is now, and I'm really able to be in it. But yeah, take that

first step, this is going in flow, take that first step,

because you don't know what it's going to evolve to. Mm hmm. And

I

love that the sharing in that story there

because I actually just bought Darren Hardy's journal, living

your best year. And I bought it because I'm reading the book,

atomic habits. And, you know, I have my to do list books like

this one here for those watching on video. But I haven't really

sat down and deeply contemplated what I want my year to look

like, you know, I kind of just pull it off the top of my head

in my rush, rush, rush, go world, right? And I thought, no,

I need to sit down and do this. And so I love this book, because

it actually takes you through eight steps in designing your

year. And one of the things that he said was when he was talking

about relationship and family is that your spouse really meet can

meet 80% of your needs, right? But we focus on the 20% that

they don't meet. And then we might leave that relationship

and go to another relationship where initially it might feel

better because they're meeting the 20% that weren't being met

before, but still only another 60%. So there's still going to

be a 20% gap, right? And the reality is, is that it's us that

have to change, not the other person. But so often, we spend

all of our time and energy focusing on what's wrong and how

the other person has to change. Yeah. And we do, and then we're

not able to move forward. Because we're not growing, we're

blaming, we're not taking responsibility. Absolutely. And

so it's just a really interesting way that he put that

because I've never seen that stat before if 80%

Yeah, I haven't either. It's interesting, though,

because I look at relationships a little bit differently. I

don't feel that your partner should meet a need of yours at

all.

No, interesting. Yeah,

I feel like relationships should it's really it's not 5050 or

8020 or 6040. It's 100 100. And if you can come into it or grow

while you're in it. Yeah. To a point where you recognize that

what we perceive as a need, typically, I find is an area of

unhealed energetic trauma. Right? Right. And so we somehow

feel like we need someone to fill that gap when that's really

That's really where we're at. To me, this is Lisa. So I come into

it, like, let's get you as whole as we can. So that I can present

myself then as here. I'm not looking to you to make me happy.

I mean, right now, because happiness is my choice. Yes,

definitely. Just like happiness is yours. I can't make you be

happy. Right? Like that song says, I can't make you love me

if you don't, great. I can't make your heartbeat something

that it won't. Right. So they can't make you that feel that

either. So I come to it in a sense of, I would say for me, if

I was going to get at 20 There's probably 80% of stuff that I can

like, I'm cool with like, it's no problem. And there's probably

that 20% That grades on my last earthly nerve. And I gotta

decide whether I'm just gonna like be like, Okay, that's, you

know, we got 80 Over here. We're cool. Yeah. But yeah, there's

more that we need to do within ourselves. Absolutely, I would

rather be wanted than needed.

If you're enjoying my content, and someone

that wants to step into being proactive in your health and

learning more, I would love to invite you to join my membership

community, there's a link in the show notes for only 1999 a

month, you get access to all of my content. And there's a lot as

well as weekly calls that you can come and get your health

questions answered. It's truly priceless. I'd love to see you

join the community, check out the link in the show notes. Yes,

I totally agree with I totally agree with that approach. And

what you're saying there as well. And I think there's some

form of fusion between the two. And definitely while you've said

it there. But really what it comes down to is taking

responsibility ourselves, yes, for our own happiness, for our

choice as to how we view the world and how we asked who the

other people in our world, it's out. There, we choose to focus

on the negative or two instead, which could only be 20%, or

focus on the 80%. That is super positive.

And that's empowering in your entire life of choice

chosen to listen to the statistics, and the this and the

that and the narrative that the world wants to put out here

about me, as a melanated. Woman, I could have chosen that, as a

single mother could have chosen that could have chosen to do

that for my kids or whatever. But I chose a long time ago not

to, and I absolutely, now vehemently refuse to. So when

people come to me about certain situations that are happening in

the world. I hear it. But that's not my life. I make a conscious

decision every moment of every day, that that's not my life.

And that's not my experience. Now something comes in that's

looks similar to what that other world is I'm now you're not part

of my story. So I can approach it from a place of neutrality

and power, because you I'm not allowing myself to devolve into

the fear. Right. And the control. Yeah, we can choose

this life. Yes. And I wish we would more often like this a

fabulous way to live.

It is a fabulous way to live. And I really I wish

this was taught more through our school system. Absolutely.

Honestly, you know, I'm stepping into all of this personal growth

and learning and figuring out who I am and my purpose and my

passion and understanding that yes, this is what I was put here

on this earth to do. But in my 40s and 50s. I know, how much

nicer would it have been to you know, have been figuring this

out when I was 10?

Absolutely. But isn't it beautiful that we now get to

teach the younger generation that's raising the 10 year old?

Exactly. It's why it's okay to let them dream. It really be all

right. You know, and let them just explore. Yeah, that's

wonderful.

And it's okay to have mindfulness in the

classroom. And yeah, so beneficial. And, you know, there

was a time here where yoga couldn't be taught in our

schools because it had religious connotations. And that has now

changed, which I'm very grateful for. And at the time I was

laying, okay, let's call it stretching. Yeah, right. Right.

So we're definitely moving in the right direction. And there's

so much more awareness around all of this and so your message

is getting out in the message of others, but maybe share with the

audience how living in purpose has really helped you overall,

move forward.

It is renewed not only just my faith in humanity, but

most importantly, my faith and self. I wake up every day,

knowing that today, I'm going to impact hundreds of people's

lives every day. And I'm excited to find a new way to do it. I'm

excited to like meet new people, and help them in their purpose.

I don't feel like I'm in competition with anyone, because

I'm not, I'm living my own purpose. So that has just given

me such an energy and such as stability. And you know, my

light just shines, because I'm like, like God, because what I

get to do today, and then when I see the results from the people

that I've worked with, and helped, and all the healers and

the teachers, and I mean, I've got like, you know, I've had

like, medical, like doctors and nurse practitioners and

counselors, all kinds of people come in, like, Hey, could you

help me do this? I want to do this in a real, authentic,

holistic way. And the impact they're having. So the you don't

think that your purpose while maybe it's just to do this isn't

isn't? Lisa? Maybe I'm not meant meant to have a huge tribe? I

don't know. Maybe you're not. But guess what? The people that

you do touch, and that you do impact that has an exponential

effect on the entire world,

like the domino effect, or the ripple.

Absolutely. And you may never know what that is. And yet, it

is happening. Yes.

Yeah. So that's how it's just giving me I feel like

a new lease on life. Like I literally feel like, my son came

to me other days like, Mom, they're saying that people are

living to 150. I'm like, Yeah, I guess I'll be one of those

people.

I'll be there with you. I've always said I'm

going over 100.

Why do we have to die? Anyway, that's a whole nother

show.

Exactly, exactly. But I love what you've

said there and to the audience to have them here that yes, you

can wake up every day, excited, and passionate about why you're

here, what you're doing, and the ability to help others. And if

you're not there yet, then work with someone who can help you

get there, because we are given one life. And I heard someone

say about I don't know, seven years ago when I really took it

to heart that we are placed on this earth to serve others, to

find our passion or purpose and to never stop learning. And when

we have those three, we truly are fulfilled. And we can wake

up and choose to be happy every single day as you do as I do.

But for that person who's still, you know, maybe in that place of

wondering, what is my purpose? What message do you have for

them?

It might be counterintuitive to everything

else that we've said today, I find that we did we the first

inkling of what our purpose is, is what has been the pain that

we have come through and overcome and healed. Mm hmm.

Right. So the pain of growing up in a household for me, that was

filled with domestic violence and all kinds of things, right.

And fear and control that began to lead me and then as an adult,

having toxic relationships, that began to lead me to my purpose

of helping women who've come out of abusive toxic relationships.

Right. So and then that just helped. And then and then it

just evolved and it just grew. But usually the first step is

what's the pain that you yourself have come through, and

that you have begun to heal? Right? That's where you can

start finding your purpose.

And it's so true. And that's how I found

mine it it was watching my girls go through their concussions and

supporting them through their concussions just after I'd been

let go and two concussions at the same time in the same

household. Like when does that happen? Right when I got the

phone call, two months after the first one about the second one

from grade eight gym class. I was literally like, wow, really?

This is how you show me my path. Stop taking out my children.

Well, hopefully it's not that dramatic.

Well, exactly. But again, it was that, you

know, it's like what did I go through in through that process?

I went through realizing there was a gap in the market in the

medical market or model, I should say, of people need to be

supported on that healing journey. It's not enough just to

go to a practitioner, listen to what they have to say, and then

see them in a week or two weeks, especially with concussion,

because they didn't have the cognitive ability to come home

and tell me what they've been told I was already forgotten. I

was going to their appointments with them. So I heard the

information, so I could then support them between the

appointments and then realizing what other people do. Right? All

of that is what led me into my journey to becoming a health

coach, and then an integrative health practitioner, etc. As I,

you know, watched and went through this with my kids. And

that was the learning that I needed to have in order to step

into my purpose. Wow, in this world, and my second career, and

so yeah, so for anyone listening, what's going on in

your world? What are the lessons that you are being taught? What

are the challenges that you're facing that you when you come

out the other side, you will have the lesson with that 2020

vision. And then that is what your purpose is likely going to

be as you then share that with others. And help them through

what you've just been through? Because you know exactly where

they're at. And you know how to guide them through? Absolutely.

So yeah, well, thank you so, so much for your time. Today. This

has been a really fun interview. And I love to ask all of my

guests What does don't wait for your wake up call mean to you.

Don't wait for your wake up call means to me hmm.

Don't put it don't don't put off because of what your parents or

society or the media, social media, whatever, your external

world. Do not wait until it's a crisis moment for you have to

either live or die, basically, for you to choose. I choose

life. Choose life today. You don't have to live it the same

way you're living it right now. Choose life today. That's what

that means to me.

I love that. And so if anybody wants to reach out

to you, at what I know, you've mentioned earlier, a couple of

your social media sites, but please just let everyone know

the best way to reach out to you.

Yeah, so probably the best way to reach out to me or

to get in contact is to go to heart of inspiration.net. And

full of like, blogs and information and tells you I went

I'm going to be on YouTube at heart of inspiration. And what's

coming up on Instagram and got podcasts. There's a lot going

on. Okay, so I got a lot. I'm everywhere, right?

And what is one last tip that you would like to

leave the audience with so that they can step into their best

version of themselves? Starting today, whatever that might look

like for them.

Yep. So something that I learned from Mel Robbins

actually make when you get that thought that inspirational

thought that drops in, you have five seconds 54321 Before your

mind takes over and says you can't do it. So when you get

that inspirational thought, I want you to move. Don't wait.
