Small Steps Living: The Podcast

Bringing this episode to life is Elton John's I'm Still Standing. It's obviously a timeless classic, but the meaning for me has changed over the years. I used to sing along and think "But how?? How am I still standing with all of this going on?" I relied on my high-functioning tendencies and my ability to 'push through' and thought that I was doing okay. Ummm... thanks, shingles, for letting me know that I definitely wasn't okay! So pushing through is not the message of this episode.These days, I know why I'm still standing and it's because I prioritise rest. I've got space in my life to do nothing. And absolutely no guilt about that. How much space to rest, really rest, do you have in your life? What do you tell yourself about resting?In this episode, I share three ways that I've incorporated more rest in order to still be standing. Plus, I've also got a stack of questions to help you try to break through that thought barrier of "but there

Welcome to a new conversation.I took a deep, steadying breath as I pressed record. This a conversation that bears witness to the love I shared with my husband, partner, friend and co-parent, Nick. It's an exploration of how our relationship changed, how two people in love courageously decided to separate, the grief I experienced over the evolution of my marriage, and the loneliness we can feel when we know our relationship isn't healthy.This was painful for me to share - that'll be obvious from all the crying. I'm sorry if it's awkward to listen to in parts. But I know in my heart that there will be women out there who need to hear it. This is for the woman who feels she can do something to make it better for her partner, who longs for it to be better. You are not alone. You are brave and you can choose bravely what you need for your life.Links and Resources:Song: We Belong | Pat BenatarBook: Women Who Love Too Much | Robin NorwoodConnect with Lisa on Facebook and InstagramContinue yo

Welcome to a new conversation.This is my maiden interview for the show and I think you're going to love it. If you don't already know my friend, Alisa Latto, you're in for a treat! She's a wise and powerful woman, and quite simply, I just like listening to her talk! Such a thrill to have her with me on the show as we get right into what a relationship separation is really like. So much of this is about our personal power so even if you're in a happy, stable relationship, there is wisdom here for you.It was an Instagram post by Alisa that got me fired up about this conversation. She shared the fiery words of Rachel Martin (@finding_joy) that called BS on the term 'a product of divorce.' It got me thinking about all of the meanings we give to separation and divorce. Meanings for us, for our ex-partners, for our children, for our extended families. And usually, we slap these meanings on before a separation has even been discussed! Often, those preconceived ideas about what sepa

Welcome to a new conversation.I'll be honest, this episode took a while to coax out of myself. I knew wholeheartedly that it was time for these convos to come to life, but I struggled to know just how to start them. That was until I received a fun idea from someone close to me that involved Fleetwood Mac. Done. Boom. I was off and racing.In this conversation, I delve into just a few of the reasons we don't walk our own path - or go our own way. Almost all of the women I've met through my programs have been ready. Ready for growth. Ready to do things differently. The status quo has stopped feeling okay and they want to shake things up. Yet so many of those same women, although ready to do things differently, don't take the next steps. Nothing changes for them.If you've been ready to do things differently in an area of your life but find yourself not taking the steps needed for change to happen, then I'm here to give you a gentle wake up. I've laid out some signposts for you i
