I'm so excited to bring you episode 274 from the charming streets of San Sebastian, Spain. After an amazing adventure in Morocco, I’ve been soaking in the beauty and lessons from my travels. It’s all been a part of what I call my year of redemption—a time for deep healing, soul-searching, and discovering new perspectives.
Join me as I share my journey experimenting with a nomadic lifestyle and the unique challenges of working on the go. Amidst all the travel, I had a heartwarming moment of gratitude while walking the Camino de Santiago, achieving dreams I once thought were out of reach. It’s a beautiful metaphor for our paths in life and the decisions we make along the way.
In this episode, I reflect on the trust and faith required to face life’s storms, and how crucial it is to understand that everyone’s journey is uniquely their own. We’ll dive into stories of embracing life’s inevitable contrasts instead of avoiding the storm, learning to see the lessons in our most uncomfortable feelings, and the power of surrounding ourselves with supportive people who won’t shy away from walking through the storm with us.
One memory that stands out is a rainy walk where I struggled to stay dry while another person joyfully splashed through puddles. It was a beautiful reminder to let others experience their journey in their own way.
As I navigate the language and cultural differences, I’ve felt a deep respect for those who face these barriers daily. It’s taught me so much about human connection and the importance it holds for thriving in any environment.
And here’s something I’m really excited about—I'm inviting you to join me for an intimate retreat in Whistler! Imagine deep connection, growth, and transformation with like-minded individuals, all in a beautifully curated setting. We’ve got delightful activities planned, a private chef to nourish us, and plenty of one-on-one time together. Dates and details are shared in the episode, and there’s just one spot left. If this resonates with you, let’s have a chat!

The Power of Choice: Why asking "why" is the WORST question you could ever ask yourself
In episode 258 of the Full Frontal Living podcast, Lisa emphasizes the power of choice and the detrimental effects of constantly asking "why" in self-reflection.
Lisa begins by sharing her commitment to going back to her spontaneous podcasting roots and the realization that she has been overthinking her messages due to the pressure of video recording and societal expectations of appearance.
She challenges listeners to examine how often they hold themselves back from showing up authentically due to self-imposed paradigms and the need to conform to external standards.
Lisa delves into the negative impact of asking "why" questions, explaining how they keep individuals anchored in the past and obstruct their ability to move forward. She encourages listeners to shift their focus from dwelling on the "why" to making conscious choices about who they want to become.
The episode highlights the tendency for individuals to use "why" questions as a means of self-sabotage, keeping themselves stuck and avoiding taking action. Lisa underscores the importance of questioning the true benefits of constantly asking "why" and the role of self-judgment in this pattern.
Throughout the episode, Lisa shares personal experiences and coaching insights, stressing the significance of moving away from the "why" mindset and embracing a forward-facing approach to personal growth and decision-making.
Listeners are encouraged to release the grip of "why" questions and instead consider alternative inquiries that empower them to take action and create the transformations they desire. Lisa highlights the need for radical honesty and self-awareness in acknowledging the benefits individuals derive from their choices, even in the face of familiar suffering.
Join Lisa on this transformative journey as she explores the power of choice and the liberation that comes from relinquishing the binds of "why" questioning.

Today, in episode 252 of The Full Frontal Living™ Podcast I'm diving into a touching and deeply transformative conversation with my special guest, Sara Intonato, a consultant, yoga teacher, coach, and beacon of hope for parents with neurodiverse children, who has carved a new path for families seeking empowerment and understanding.
Fueled by her own experiences as a parent of a child with autism, Sara transformed her life and learned to transcend the shame, blame, martyrdom and victim mentality that many families with neurodiverse children succumb to.
Sara shares the journey that led her to create a comforting community for parents who felt alone and misunderstood, while coping with the diagnosis of their child. She talks about what it looks like to take an empowered role as a parent and not put 100% of the focus on your child, but also allowing yourself to thrive.
Sara opens up about her personal struggles and turning points, as well as how she harnessed the principles of yoga for self-healing and clarity amid the chaos. She will also discuss the importance of parents committing to their personal well-being, as much as they do for their children, thus recovering from an often below the surface martyrdom syndrome, which can lead to severe burnout and chronic health issues.
Sara highlights how this syndrome disrupts the sensitive regulatory systems of neurodiverse children, who then struggle to prosper in the face of parental stress. Learn about practical tools and strategies that not only empower parents but create a nurturing environment for the entire family.
Join us also as we delve into Sara's best-selling book, “Emotional Healing for Parents with Children of Autism,” which recounts her family’s journey and serves as a beacon of solace and guidance for parents experiencing similar situations.

Welcome back to another episode of the Full Frontal Living podcast. Today, Lisa is diving deep into emotional bypassing also known as toxic positivity.
This is a common behavior that many of us engage in without even realizing it. In episode 247, Lisa will be exploring what emotional bypassing is and why it's so important to recognize and address it in our lives.
It's undeniable that the world is going through some incredibly challenging times. As someone who deeply feels the weight of these events, she understands firsthand the struggle of navigating such heavy emotions. In her own journey, she's often found herself trying to escape the pain by getting lost in her thoughts, attempting to rationalize and understand it all. But the truth is, there are some things that we will never fully comprehend, like violence, hatred, and cruelty.
However, in times like these, it becomes even more crucial to lean into the foundational principles of emotional resiliency that she teaches. It's about finding ways to support our emotional well-being, especially when we're faced with such overwhelming circumstances. And this brings us to the heart of today's discussion: emotional bypassing and toxic positivity.
I was inspired to explore this topic after coming across a thought-provoking post by The Holistic psychologist. She eloquently articulated the concept of emotional bypassing as a coping mechanism, particularly through toxic positivity.
Gratitude is a powerful tool that can help shift our perspective, and there's a difference between using gratitude as a way to avoid or bypass our true emotions and being willing to sit with and experience those uncomfortable feelings.
Why do people resort to emotional bypassing?
It stems from being disassociated from our own emotions, because of the difficulty in sitting with the heavier, darker emotions that make us uncomfortable. And in a culture that glorifies chronic positivity and denies the existence of negative emotions, it's easy to see why bypassing becomes a prevalent coping mechanism.
Throughout this episode, Lisa explores the signs of emotional bypassing and its impact on ourselves and our relationships. She approaches this discussion with curiosity, kindness, and compassion, recognizing that we've all been guilty of emotional bypassing at some point in our lives. It's time to shift the focus from judgment to understanding as we delve deeper into the journey of emotional resilience.

Welcome back to episode 246 of the Full Frontal Living™ podcast! Today we're diving into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: "You're not lost or stuck."
Have you ever found yourself feeling lost or stuck in life? Wondering which path to take, or doubting your ability to navigate the unknown? Well, you're not alone. In today's episode, we'll explore the power of courage and how it can help us overcome fear and uncertainty.
I'll begin by sharing a personal experience that recently happened to me during my commute. As I found myself caught in traffic, running late for an important appointment, I realized an important lesson about being at peace with detours and surrendering to the journey.
I'll discuss the importance of having a clear vision and being honest with ourselves about what we truly want in life. So often, we label ourselves as "lost" when in reality, we have the answers within us. It just takes the courage to acknowledge and pursue our desires.
Join me as we explore the concept of being lost, finding our way, and the transformative power of embracing detours. If you're ready to break free from the limiting belief that you're lost or stuck, this episode is for you.
So grab a cup of tea, find a cozy spot, and let's embark on this empowering journey together. Remember, you're not lost or stuck. You have the courage within you to navigate life's uncertainties. Let's dive in!

Welcome to episode 245 of the Full Frontal Living podcast!
In today's master class episode, we're going to dive deep into the topic of how to master fear and doubt and take control of your life. We all face fear and doubt, no matter how successful we are or what we've accomplished. But the key is learning how to navigate these emotions in a powerful way. In this episode, we'll explore the role of fear and doubt, and how they can actually be valuable tools for growth. We'll also discuss a step-by-step process to help you move past your fears and doubts and step into your full potential. So get ready to discover the tools and strategies to conquer your fears and doubts and take control of your life. Let's dive in!
[00:00:36] Taking responsibility for fear and doubt is crucial. Regardless of how successful you may be, these emotions will always arise. Learning how to effectively deal with them is essential for personal growth. Moving past fear requires a strategy. In this episode, Lisa will provide the tool she uses personally to navigate through fear and doubt.
[00:03:54] Fear is meant to keep you safe, but can't differentiate between real and imagined threats. Determine if fear is genuine by distinguishing between real dangers and imagined scenarios in your mind. Fear and doubt aim to protect you.
[00:06:21] Naming and understanding fear; questioning worst-case scenario.
[00:09:21] The best thing is to see how crazy our fear is, and not give emotions too much meaning. Diffuse fear, doubt, and laugh at ourselves because life is meant to be fun. Most fears are just made up.
[00:14:37] The process helps to take action, laugh at oneself, and live fully.
[00:15:33] Partner with emotions, listen, distill. Create your desired life. Apply to work with Lisa at lisacarpenter.ca/collective

A while back, I did an episode about my alter ego Tylere and even read a bit from the document I created for her back in 2016. When I wrote that document, I couldn’t see how it’d come to fruition, nor did I really believe it ever would. But after my WBFF show, I realize that I’ve fully embraced and become that alter ego to the point where I don’t even need one anymore. Today I want to talk a little bit about your alter ego and using it to serve you and help you move forward.
3:06 - The biggest selling point of writing your alter ego document
4:35 - Why red lipstick came to symbolize my alter ego
7:33 - Example questions to think about as you consider your alter ego
12:02 - The commonality between your alter ego and dressing up as a kid

In this inspiring episode #236 of the Full Frontal Living™ podcast, Lisa shares her perspective on a common but limiting pattern of thinking – the "when-then" mindset.
Many of us are guilty of postponing our desires and aspirations, waiting for the "perfect moment" or conditions to be met before we give ourselves permission to enjoy what we want.
Lisa draws from personal experiences, revealing how she fell into this trap and how it kept her from realizing her desires, from taking time off to making long-awaited purchases.
Lisa dives into the topic of self-acknowledgment, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and honoring one's own achievements. She also discusses the fallacy of waiting for the "perfect" condition to seek help or support, and how immediate action can accelerate your progress towards your goals.
What is one 'when-then' belief you're ready to let go of? How will you say 'YES' to yourself and bring what you desire into your life today?
There are still two spots left in the Full Frontal Living Collective 6-Month Container that’s launching in September 2023.

Today's episode is an encore of episode 192 of the podcast. Lisa is sharing more about her journey of what it means to be committed to what you want instead of staying committed to what you don’t want. If you’re looking to create transformation in your life doing more of the same is going to create more of the same so if you’re not willing to take a stand for YOU, your dreams, your desires, and your growth consider what your life is going to look like a year from now.
Will you be proud of who you’ve become and what you’ve created, or will you be looking back at your year frustrated that you’re still circling around the same stuff that has kept you stuck?

NOTE: She mentions the program being 11 months in the intro, but it is now 6 months.
In episode 234 Lisa is sharing her reflections about what it looks like to live a life you're proud of and how much energy it costs to stay stuck in fear, worry, doubt and feeling unfulfilled.
If you were to die tomorrow, would you be proud of how you lived? Would you look at your life and feel happy about the choices you made and how you spent your precious time on this earth?
Sometimes we experience pain and discomfort as a slow burn over months and years, and sometimes life changes so quickly that it takes your breath away.
Both provide unique opportunities to re-evaluate your life and take inventory of what's important to you, what you want, and what you might need to let go and leave behind.
When life changes, there is no going back... and moving forward often comes with a tremendous amount of discomfort and grief.
(Episode 230: How to manage your energy when you're navigating grief is a complimentary episode to today)
Staying stuck in frustration, fear, overwhelm, exhaustion, resentment, anger and uncertainty will cost you MORE energy than if you embrace the power of surrender. Surrender and letting go isn't easy for most of the men and women Lisa works with AND it is possible.
It's the key to living a more peaceful life that you can feel proud of at the end of the day.
If you feel like you're not living into your potential and struggle with letting go, this episode is for you.

In episode 233 Lisa shares how life delivers exactly what we want however, it rarely comes in the package we expected or wanted. The question becomes can you stay open to the lessons and opportunities that might be right in front of you? Are you willing to navigate the discomfort and pain that might accompany the undesired events in your life to find the gifts?
Today's episode is full of Lisa's own stories of pain, growth and transformation and how she discovered that she was getting exactly what she wanted.
She shares openly about her journey to discover deeper levels of her feminine energy and what specific opportunity triggered her to almost quit, and why pain is often the gateway to transformation.
From judgement to acceptance, this episode might challenge how you look at your own circumstances so that you can see them through a new and expansive lens. Things are rarely as they might seem and if you're open to leading with curiosity you might be surprised at what you discover about yourself.

In this episode, Lisa speaks with Jose Perez, a personal trainer, and online fitness coach who shares his inspiring journey from property management to the fitness industry. After realizing that his previous career didn't bring him happiness, Jose made the courageous decision to leave his job and prioritize his health. He fell into fitness, starting with a focus on his own well-being, and eventually transitioned into becoming a personal trainer. Jose highlights the importance of making decisive life choices and following the breadcrumbs that lead to personal growth and fulfillment.
Virtual training became a game-changer for Jose and his clients, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. By leveraging technology and conducting sessions via platforms like Zoom, he was able to provide efficient and effective training while saving clients precious time. The convenience of virtual training allows busy professionals, such as CEOs and entrepreneurs, to prioritize their health without sacrificing their demanding schedules. Jose emphasizes the vital role that health plays in the overall success and urges listeners to understand that taking care of oneself is essential for achieving personal and professional goals.
Jose emphasizes the importance of structure, discipline, and training in achieving success, both in fitness and in life.
They also address the common misconceptions and complications surrounding fitness and nutrition. Jose emphasizes that effective training doesn't have to be complicated and time-consuming, debunking the belief that one needs hours in the gym to achieve results. They discuss the possibility of completing a comprehensive workout within just 25 to 30 minutes with smart programming.
The conversation then shifts to the challenges people face in prioritizing their health and the lack of personal responsibility seen in society. Lisa questions why individuals are resistant to taking charge of their own well-being, especially when it comes to their physical health. They both stress the importance of making time for oneself and the need to overcome the mentality of putting everything and everyone else before personal health.
Additionally, they address the complex relationship many people have with food and how it often becomes an emotional crutch or a source of struggle. They advocate for changing the mindset around food, viewing it as fuel for the body rather than a source of emotional comfort. They provide practical strategies for simplifying nutrition.
In conclusion, Lisa and Jose discuss the societal pressure and expectations placed on women as they age, highlighting the need to challenge these norms and strive for vibrant health and vitality throughout life. They emphasize that investing in one's health now will pay off in the long run, enabling individuals to maintain their physical abilities and enjoy life to the fullest as they age.

In episode 230 Lisa dives into the topic of grief and the stages anyone who's experienced or experiencing loss will navigate. Loss doesn't always mean death. It can be your kids growing up and leaving home, or a significant life event that changes your circumstances, or maybe the death of a dream or vision you've been holding. Regardless, it's not an emotional state that leaves you feeling energized, and for most to move out of grief and into acceptance and peace takes time. Today's episode will give you tips to care for your physical and emotional wellbeing so that you can preserve the energy you have so that you can heal.
What most don't understand is that healing requires massive amounts of energy. You will need more rest, and it's not because you're being lazy, your body requires it to feel better. Transformational work, digging into old stories and traumas so that you can free yourself and create a better life will probably make you feel worse before you feel better AND it also ensures that you will find your way out of suffering and into acceptance and peace.
As always, Lisa shares her process and what she's experiencing as she navigates a season of grief and letting go in the hopes it will make your journey feel a little less lonely.

In episode 229 Lisa shares her recent trip to Disney and the strategies she uses while travelling to maintain her energy when it comes to nutrition. In a time when more people are committed to avoiding illness than being committed to creating wellness for themselves, taking responsibility for your eating behaviors is a radical act. Eating on the road doesn't need to feel hard or be hard, but it comes down to choice and your attitude about it. Lisa shares her perspective on why taking responsibility for your choices on the road matters and the cost of putting your health last on your priority list. If you want to value your health and wellness, then your actions and habits must align with that value, otherwise what you're saying is you DON'T value your wellness.
When you take a vacation from your life but not your healthy lifestyle, you'll always have energy to burn.

Are you BUSY? Most of the women Lisa works with are juggling many balls and spinning way too many plates however it doesn't need to be this way. If you want to have more time and energy in today's episode #228 Lisa is sharing a tool she uses with many of her clients to determine what specifically is keeping them so busy.
You may not yet even realize how many busy things you're in the habit of doing which means you're operating on autopilot and not being intentional with your time or energy. You always have the power to choose how you're spending your time however, first, it takes an awareness of where and how you're spending time and energy so that you can make adjustments. Many of you stay stuck in circumstances and allow life to run you instead of it being the other way around because you're not looking at what you can change. Living from "it is what it is" will keep you on the hamster wheel of life and not feeling empowered.
To change your life you must first take an honest look at what you're so busy with and today's episode will empower you to get honest and take responsibility for your time and energy.

Episode 161 dives into the consequences of continuing to work from the circumstances of your life without being responsible for how you're managing your energy.
Change isn't easy for most people, however, what feels worse? Making changes that support you feeling better and different, or staying the same and risking your physical and emotional wellbeing? What Lisa has learned over the years is that most people do everything they can to avoid feeling how they feel, and spend most of their lives running from themselves.
The consequences of this? We are the physically and emotionally unwell population in history. We are turning to pharmaceuticals, alcohol, shopping, social media, over working, chasing achievements etc to manage the energy we can't be with.
In today's episode, Lisa dives into the consequences and cost of not managing your energy and living at the mercy of your circumstances.
The possibility of a better life is on the other side of you doing this transformational work and creating awareness about the behaviors that are keeping you trapped.

Are you a chronic snoozer? Do you hit the snooze button multiple times before getting out of bed in the morning? Have you ever considered how much time and energy that is costing you to negotiate with yourself? In today's episode #215 Lisa talks about the energetic cost of hitting snooze and what it means for the relationship you're having with yourself.
Personal integrity is about keeping promises with yourself, but have you ever thought about what happens when you are constantly breaking promises with yourself? What do you think the impact on your energy might be? Do you think breaking promises to yourself fills you with energy or depletes your energy?
Every day with every decision you decide the type of relationship you're creating with yourself. You decide if you're going to create more energy for yourself or if you're going to deplete your energy.
An easy way to create success is to commit to no longer hitting snooze and start your day winning and feeling energized.

Episode 214 brings a new twist and perspective to the Tale Of Two Wolves. Perhaps you've heard this fable before about the battle that goes on inside each of us and how to determine who wins. In today's episode, Lisa share's an extended version of this story that goes beyond the ending you're probably familiar with and into the importance of feeding both parts of you.
We all have negative thought loops, but have you ever considered the value they bring to your life and why they started in the first place? Self development wants you to believe that we should only feed the good and only focus on how we want to feel, but when you come to understand the power of ALL your emotions, this is when your life will truly begin to shift.
It's not about never feeling bad, but understanding how to work with your emotions so that you can use them to guide your actions. The work is often not what many believe it to be and is more a journey to discover all the parts of yourself good and not so good so that you can come to love and accept them all.

In episode 211 Lisa asks the question, "How much is enough" and What CAN you do?" to create results with ease NOT by doing more but by allowing yourself to do less.
Many of you are chronic over-doers, busy all the time with a million plates spinning and responsibilities to manage. Today, Lisa will encourage you about the stories you might be telling yourself about excellence and getting it right instead of just allowing yourself to do something. Many of Lisa's clients struggle with the idea of not doing things perfectly or being all in, however because of this mindset they often find themselves failing and feeling badly.
Today's message is about exploring what ONE thing you can do that will support you getting results and will allow you to stay committed.
You don't need to do everything, but don't allow that to stop you from doing something.
Find the things that you love that support you showing up as your best self and do that.
If you haven't already, we would be so grateful if you'd leave a rating and review of the show!

In episode 210 Lisa chats with her client Francesca about her journey towards a more loving and accepting relationship with her body.
You'll learn the SIMPLE but powerful exercise that allowed Francesca to neutralize how she was feeling about her body and manage the thoughts she was thinking, so she could find freedom in and acceptance of her body. The ladies talk about how much women hide when they're feeling self-conscious and how it impacts the relationship they are having with the world around them, and how it's possible to feel powerful and strong without having to lose weight.
Francesca shares her journey through Lisa's program Weight Loss From Within and how it wasn't about weight loss but a journey of self discovery so that you can discover the stories, feelings and thoughts holding you back from enjoying the skin you're in. She shares the power of journaling and getting her reflections down on paper, so she could stop hiding from them and find new ways to approach how she was feeling about her body.
This work opened Francesca up to other ways she was hiding in her life and the behaviors that were causing her to feel disconnected from herself in other ways so that she could begin to make herself a priority.
She's gone from an over-doing, people pleasing, perfectionist to a woman who knows how to set powerful boundaries that support both her physical and emotional wellbeing, so she can accomplish more while doing less.
This has allowed her to charge more for her services while working fewer hours on projects she loves instead of ones she was tolerating.
It has also helped her show up more confidently and speak up for what she wants and needs in a powerful way that is still filled with kindness and care.
She has learned how to say no and allow others to take the lead, instead of doing everything herself and taking over what were other people's responsibilities. She now knows how to care without care taking, leaving her with more time to do the things she loves and allowing others to handle their own stuff.
And most importantly, she learned how to LOVE herself and feel proud of who she is in the world.
This is an extraordinary conversation that will leave you feeling inspired about what is possible for you when you fully commit to your transformation.

In episode 209 Lisa shares her word of the year and how this is informing her decisions about social media and how she will and won't be producing content. This is a time when everyone is fighting for your attention, but what is it costing you to be giving it away? Have you considered how consumption is contributing to your feelings of being overwhelmed and unfulfilled?
Everyone seems to have the solution for what you should be doing to create better relationships, greater business growth, more money or how to get your health on track but if you started to block out the noise what is YOUR voice saying to you?
Consumption does not equal transformation.
Lisa goes on to speak about the long term results of her work with clients that gets them off the never ending hamster wheel of personal development. Imagine for a moment if you were no longer looking for the solution for how to feel better and were finally living your life and enjoying the peace, joy and fulfillment because of the changes you made.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the new year energy? Does it just feel like more things you "should" add to your to-do list? In episode 208 Lisa is sharing her approach to the new year, and it is slooooowww.
You don't have to get caught in setting new goals, intentions, words etc. and can just take your time easing into 2023.

In today's episode, Lisa is sharing about important markers you need to look for if you have normalized feeling less than 100% and why it's so important to get your hormones checked as you age, especially if you are a high functioning, driven woman who has been navigating stress (who hasn't).
She also dives into a few easy questions you can ask yourself as you explore 2023 and reflects on a few of her own missed lessons in 2022.
As always, Lisa keeps it real and encourages you to explore the relationship you're having with yourself with compassion and curiosity.

In episode 207 Lisa has her former client Silva on the podcast to share her journey through coaching. You'll learn how Silva went from someone who was very rigid in her views of the world and her work to a woman who now knows what it means to be at peace regardless of what life throws at her.
Some of the topics discussed in this episode are:
Being a woman in a male dominated industry and what many women have to do to "make it" and the impact that has long term on our energy.
How much our energy impacts the spaces we're in and the people we're around, and that life is more than just transactional.
What happened when Silva tuned into and began to trust her intuition and feminine sense instead of always being in her masculine energy.
How Silva began to shift how she was seeing herself in her business from an employee to a CEO mindset, and what happened when she did.
How using an alter-ego allowed Silva to begin to embody the woman she wanted to be personally and professionally.
What it means to Silva to be lovingly detached in relation with her daughter who struggles with addiction. Silva shares her journey of letting go, acceptance and surrender so that she could find peace.
The ladies also discuss parenting, addiction and the power of 1:1 coaching.
If you're ready to let go of doing all the things so that you can find the kind of peace and presence, Silva has, book your 30-minute consultation to explore what 1:1 coaching can do for you. Space is limited!

In episode 206 Lisa talks about a common pattern she sees many of her clients getting into. Go, go, go, collapse and repeat. With the holiday season just around the corner now is the time to take inventory of all the things you think you should be doing and deciding what you might want to let go of. In this episode, Lisa talks about what drives this pattern of overworking and being busy and why it's so hard for women to break free from it. If you're ready to live a life that doesn't feel like a game of go, go, stop, book your coaching session and get started doing the work that will dramatically change how you show up for yourself.
Coaching moves beyond self-help and helps you discover and change stories and beliefs you didn't know you had and how to change them.

Episode 205 is a SPICY one.
Today, Lisa addresses the elephant in the room. Are you one of the many women who find her intimidating? Have you ever considered why that is and what the definition of intimidating is?
In this episode, she dives into what it means to be intimidating vs confident and empowered. Is it that Lisa is intimidating, or is it that being in the proximity of a confident, empowered woman is unfamiliar to you? Women often start defining other women based on experiences we've had in the past, without ever circling back around to see if the definition is still applicable. In a world where many women are caught in people pleasing, going along to get along, lacking boundaries, seeking the approval of others and looking for their worthiness in everything BUT themselves, a confident, self-assured woman showing up in her personal power can seem like a bit of a unicorn. They are often seen as intimidating or "bitchy" but have you considered what a confident woman is showing you?
When was the last time you redefined what a confident and empowered woman is OR are you basing it on an outdated interaction you had in high school??
Even talking about being confident can trigger other women because we're taught to not stand out or make anyone feel bad, so instead we continue to shrink and not live into our full potential.
Today's episode is meant to be disruptive and shake up the way you view other women, but more importantly, how you view yourself.
If you've been intimidated by Lisa but have listened to this episode and are starting to realize that she embodies what you want for yourself, before you do anything else, book a call. It will take courage and confidence, but that's why you're here, is it not?

Episode 204 dives into one of Lisa's favorite topics. Responsibility.
In today's episode, you'll discover how to be more responsible for you while letting go of being "too" responsible for others. There is a line between caring vs care taking, and many women cross it with the story of needing to be responsible. Have you ever asked yourself what makes you believe you need to be responsible for others, and what you gain from being so responsible for others? Consider for a moment how you define yourself and if you weren't being over responsible how you would feel important? What would make you matter? How would you feel important?
Many women claim to want less responsibility, but also fight to keep as many balls in the air as possible. Why do you think that is? Today's episode will bring clarity to that, along with exploring how to redefine personal responsibility.
If you're someone who feels responsible for so much but at the same time doesn't like to ask for help or support and struggles with receiving, this episode will be an eye-opener for you.

Episode 203 takes a look at how we define a healthy relationship with the gym. You might not realize that not all "healthy" people are healthy. Although the outside package might look the part of being healthy, it's how you define health on the inside that matters more.
For many gym goers, it's a place they go to feel good, manage stress and anxiety and get a great sweat on. Often those who are religious about their training, it becomes a part of their identity and starts to define how they think and feel about themselves. The problem becomes that often this healthy way of being can take a turn to the excessive that includes no days off and the world falling apart if they become sick or injured. They feel better when they're exercising regularly, but don't know how to feel good if they can't exercise. Not to mention, taking a day off of exercise creates anxiety and stress.
Exercise is meant to release feel good endorphins, however do you know how to feel good if you can't exercise for whatever reason?
In today's episode, Lisa shares about her recent injury and how she's navigating her time off today vs how she would have reacted to being off in the past.
Here are a few things to be on the lookout for to determine if you're addicted to exercise in an unhealthy way
-
You aren't recovering well
-
Your resting heart rate becomes elevated
-
You get sick more often
-
You're always tired and don't sleep well
-
You're having mood swings and often find yourself depressed outside the gym
-
You feel like you can't take a break
-
You don't know how to cope with life without your daily exercise
-
Your strength is decreasing
-
You're getting injured or experience over use aches and pains
-
You obsess about getting your workout in at the expense of everything else in your life.
In episode 202 Lisa recaps her recent trip to Sedona to celebrate her 50th birthday and lessons she wants to pass along to you about when it's time to shake things up.
If you're set in your schedule and live by the phrase "it is what it is" then you're going to want to listen. Lisa breaks down how having her entire schedule flipped upside down challenged her perspective on letting go and adapting, while also providing an opportunity to see her world differently.
She also dives into how to discover possibility where maybe you don't see any, and that anything can be figured out if you're willing and open to seeing a different path. Being committed means also reflecting on your commitments and making adjustments instead of being stuck in your own status quo.
Lisa also discusses how often driven, ambitious, A-types often forget the importance of lightening up, having more fun and creating time and space for things that are for pure joy and pleasure.
All this along with exploring the deeper meaning of loving what you do, but loving yourself more.

Or maybe it's not feeling good in your body because you need to lose weight first? Perhaps you're frustrated that your partner keeps leaving his dishes on the counter?
Your awesome life is waiting for you, but it won't happen as long as you're waiting on people, places and things to change before you get to feel better.
If you want to feel good and happy now, that's available, but it's up to YOU to decide to claim it without waiting for things to change.

Episode 197 is a very personal share about how Lisa found herself back in her old patterns of behavior and the emotional suffering she endured at her own hand. You may not realize it yet, but most of the things you find yourself struggling with and suffering through are because of where you're choosing to hold your attention. Have you ever noticed how much you focus on what's not working vs what is? Or how much you hold your attention on what you don't have vs what you DO have?
Most of the problems you face in life are only problems because of the stories you've told yourself about the problem. Take a listen to today's episode to come to an understanding of what this means and how quickly you can shift out of the struggle by asking yourself so KEY questions.
How much are you contributing to making the problem BIGGER by holding your attention on what you can't control instead of being responsible for what you can.
After listening to this episode, ask yourself what you GAIN from being stuck and struggling? The answer might not just surprise you, but also set you free.

Episode 195 has Lisa sharing a powerful tool that Lisa uses with her clients to separate them from their thoughts and emotions. In this episode, you're going to learn how to create powerful characters based on your thoughts so that you can have better control over your actions and therefore your outcomes in life. As always, Lisa shares personal stories of how she uses this tool to navigate her inner perfectionist and over-doer and tap into her inner coach, inner cheerleader and the characters that want you to feel proud, accomplished and more than good enough.
This is a tool that once you master will allow you to control the voices in your head instead of them controlling you. And you'll soon find how much more energy, joy and fulfillment you'll experience.
If you're ready to have more energy and time to prioritize the things that are important to you (including taking care of yourself) make sure you check out Lisa's newest program The Full Frontal Living™ Energy Edit.

In episode 194, Lisa shares how she's approaching her 50th birthday and how being "halfway to dead" had changed her outlook on life and business. She invites her listeners to look at what they are making important in their lives and "if" it's actually important.
Are you LIVING your life, or does it feel like life is living you? What are you settling for? What are you giving importance to that isn't that important? Your lifespan on this planet WILL end and that is pretty much the only thing you can be certain of, however you have the power to make choices every day to support your life. Are you choosing things that make you feel the way you want to feel? Have the experiences you want to have? Live in a way you feel fulfilled, joyful and excited to get out of bed, or are you just going through the motions?
This episode invites you to get curious about how you're spending your days, your time, your energy and your money. Do your choices invite in the life you want, or create more of what you don't want? Are you in a holding and waiting pattern?
After you've finished listening to the episode, jump in to Lisa's DM's and share with her what you're going to start saying YES to and what you're going to say NO to. You've got one life. NOW is the time to claim what you want and take responsibility for creating it.

In episode 193, Lisa shares the importance of exploring what you are committed to and why quitting might be the right answer to creating the success you want. Most people believe more equals better, however, the opposite is often true. Letting things go and getting things off your plate will create space to allow more peace and ease into your life. This can be a challenging pill to swallow for most high functioning, driven individuals, however, the consequences of spinning too many plates often comes at the high cost of exhaustion and feeling like you're never doing a good enough job.
Consider for a moment how much your identity is wrapped up in "finishing" and what you make it mean if you quit. But does it mean anything? If quitting is a choice that allows more of what you want in and LESS of what you don't THIS is what it means to win.
Please share this episode if it resonated with you with another ambitious, driven individual who probably needs to hear this message as well.
I'd love to hear from you over on my Instagram at lisacarpenterinc!
Today in episode 192 of the podcast, Lisa is sharing more about her journey of what it means to be committed to what you want instead of staying committed to what you don't want. If you're looking to create transformation in your life doing more of the same is going to create more of the same so if you're not willing to take a stand for YOU, your dreams, your desires, your growth consider what your life is going to look like a year from now. Will you be proud of who you've become and what you've created, or will you be looking back at your year frustrated that you're still circling around the same stuff that has kept you stuck?

Self love is a concept that many of us aren't looking at yet it's at the core of why so many people are struggling to create the lives they desire. Today you'll explore what self love is and isn't and how you can start to get curious about how you are thinking and feeling about yourself and what you can change.
Imagine if you could live a life filled with healthy relationships, great health, financial abundance and emotional freedom. In this episode you'll discover where to start and the questions to ask yourself to create clarity so that you CAN create the life you want.

In Episode 190 Lisa introduces you to her client Alyssa who generously shares her coaching journey.
Alyssa came to Lisa struggling with her health, anxiety, overwhelm and a feeling of being broken. She described herself as relentless in pursuit of self betterment, while not realizing that wanting to find a solution was keeping her trapped in her problems.
In today's episode, you'll learn how Alyssa went from over-functioning, over giving, and over-doing to establishing boundaries that support her energy and allow her to care for her well-being. She's learned how to stand up for herself, let things go that aren't important, release things that aren't her responsibility and identify what her needs and wants are so that she can make those a priority.
Even though she was running a successful business, you might be surprised that Alyssa didn't see herself as successful. As like many highly driven and ambitious women, Alyssa was measuring success through a skewed lens of not enough, which was keeping her trapped in a loop of believing she needed to do more to create the success she wanted without being able to recognize that what she wanted was already right in front of her.
Many of you will see yourself in Alyssa's journey and Lisa's hope is that she will inspire you to never give up in seeking the answers you're looking for but reminding you that when you have the right support you'll be able to find yourself realizing that you have everything you need to feel complete.

In Episode 189 Lisa shares her personal journal entries from 2019 when she took a trip with her mastermind to Tulum. She gets honest about where she was, what she needed to let go of and what she decided to step into and claim for her future.
Anything is possible when you're able to identify and move past the beliefs keeping you stuck. For all you know there is so much more you don't see about yourself. You're not getting it wrong, nor will trying harder create better results. Only discovering how to release the shame, blame you're holding onto and step into self compassion will allow you to create your version of an extraordinary life.

In Episode 188, Lisa chats with her client Nicole about the transformation she's experienced over the past 18 months. Nicole went from feeling overwhelmed and constantly in a state of busy, to doing less while creating greater success, more profitability in her business but most importantly more TIME for herself and the people she loves. She's now a priority in her life with a greater sense of balance between business and spending time with her family.
She shares her story of how perfectionism and unrealistic expectations were depleting the joy from her life and her business, and how she overcame these hurdles to re-invent her business model while having more fun and allowing herself to get "messy". Nicole is a beautiful example of what's possible when you stop hiding inside large group programs and work intimately with a coach. She was able to discover so many blind spots that were keeping her trapped and take different action to create new results.

How many times per day do you find yourself thinking about what you want? Perhaps it's about the weight you want to lose, the money you want to make, the trip you want to take, the vision you have for coaching with Lisa or the TIME you want to chill out, relax and find some peace? In episode 187, Lisa shares some personal reflections about the stories she would tell herself about her dreams and desires. She was living in the "when /then" thought loop that so many of you don't realize you're also living in. Desire doesn't create your dreams, but taking action will. In today's powerful episode, Lisa challenges her listeners to look at what they're holding at arms length from themselves and the stories and excuses they're using as to why they can't yet have their desires realized.
You say you want it, but are you willing to get uncomfortable and take action to have it?

She also asks what being perfect is costing you in your life. How much time, energy is it draining from you? What does it say about how you think and feel about yourself if everything needs to be perfect?
Today's episode is a behind the scenes look at what is going on at Lisa Carpenter Inc., how Lisa does things imperfectly and how you can explore what would be possible for you if you stopped trying to make things perfect and just let shit go.

In episode 185 Lisa walks her listeners through her four step transformational process. Although you might believe that transformation and inner growth is a line from point A to point B, Lisa shares how this perspective often keeps people trapped and stuck in "awareness". Her Full Frontal Living™ Method is more of a spiral that has no beginning and no end, and when her clients master how to navigate this method, they'll always know what steps to take next to continue to progress.
You're probably realizing that there comes a time when large group coaching containers can only do so much, and you need DEEPER support, accountability and eyeballs on places you can't see in yourself.
Applications are officially open for her 11-month intimate group coaching container called the Full Frontal Living™ Collective.

There are people who just radiate something special. It makes you feel better seeing them or being around them. Sandra Chuma is definitely that type of person to me. Her spirit just can’t help but shine through everything she does.
She didn’t see herself this way, though. She struggled with worthiness and hiding her light (as so many women are conditioned to do). Then she realized there were plenty of others who struggle with the same. In this episode, she and I talk about self-worth and habits as ways in which we truly demonstrate the strength (or lack thereof) of self-love we have for ourselves.
4:25 - The dangers of comparison-itis and feeling not good enough
7:42 - Milestones that anchor that feeling of not being good enough and how they eventually affected Sandra’s health
9:55 - Life experiences that made Sandra and myself feel like we weren’t good enough
13:40 - Why degrees (for the most part) don’t matter nearly as much as you think they do when it comes to work
17:54 - How to know if you have a lack of self-worth regarding any part of your life
22:11 - Why most people find it easier to look outside themselves to place blame for their worthiness issues
26:05 - The most important boundaries you’ll ever set for yourself
28:55 - The difference in how I treated myself when on-stage recently versus my past self
33:03 - Why curiosity and critical self-judgment can’t co-exist
36:41 - What happens when you understand what it means to stand in your worthiness
38:08 - Our propensity to default to our habits in times of stress
43:32 - The huge emotional propeller of worthiness that too many women don’t acknowledge (and an exercise to flip the script)
49:32 - The conversation I had with Sandra that compelled her to stop hesitating and share her gift with the world.

In Episode 183 Lisa shares her perspective about the one ingredient you MUST put in to create success. There are no shortcuts, no easy buttons or any way to bi-pass this ONE important piece of the success puzzle, however you must define it on your terms. This isn't about doing more but being specific about what you're focused on, and how you're spending your time and energy.

In episode 181 Lisa dives into how she redefined success and how you may want to look at your own definition of success. What you might discover is that you have success all wrong.
Success isn't something that is awarded to you when you accomplish something, it is a FEELING that you claim. More and more she sees men and women hanging success on the balance in their bank accounts or comparing themselves to what others have accomplished while completely overlooking the success they already have.
Today's episode is meant to have you take a look at your own life and how often you're pushing away success instead of doing what is necessary to claim it now.

In episode 180 Lisa dives into why hiring a 1:1 coach is the fastest way to results and the mindset that is probably holding you back. In an era of self-help books and group programs at every turn, why is it that so many of you remain stuck when you "know" the thing holding you back? Have you ever considered that the belief you "should" have it figured out on your own IS the block keeping you stuck from taking action? That you're so focused on the problem you think you have that you're not able to see the problem you actually have?
Today's episode talks about the framework Lisa uses with her clients to get them to a place of taking action, and why her clients get the phenomenal results they do.
This is a hard hitting episode that will challenge you to ask yourself tough questions about working with a coach and what might be possible for you if you started working from the perspective that you know nothing.

In episode 177 Lisa shares her reflections on parenting from past to present and how you can become a better mom or dad. There's lots to celebrate every year when Mother's Day rolls around, but what if you didn't have to wait for one day a year to feel valued and special? What if you could feel like you were a priority every day of the year? What if you could just ask for what you want and need without making a story about what that means. Or what if you could just buy your own flowers instead of waiting for someone else to? All these things are possible and it today's episode you'll get to reflect on your own parenting journey and look at how you can improve how you show up for yourself in the years ahead.

In episode 176 Lisa dives into the one of the red flags she sees in clients. The inability to receive from themselves and from others.
Often we've grown up with messages about the importance of giving and being generous, yet it's rarely modelled how to receive. From compliments, to gifts to even giving yourself time, your discomfort in receiving points to a much bigger issue that most aren't aware of.
Today's episode will give you a new perspective on the importance of receiving just as much as giving. They are opposite energies of the same stream and both deserve equal attention. You can't have more in life if you aren't willing to also look at your willingness or unwillingness to receive.

In episode 174 Lisa shares her personal story of the impact of the emotional trauma she experienced in 2021. Trauma is defined as "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience" and although many of us hear the word trauma and think about things like assault, accidents or the death of someone we love, trauma is experienced in many more ways.
What's fascinating is how your body and your brain respond to trauma and how un-felt emotion is stored in the body, often resulting in disease and illness. In this episode, Lisa shares the physical impact the Canadian pandemic rules have had on her and the moment when she experienced what she can now see as trauma. You'll learn how she unlocked what was happening in her brain with the help of her friend and colleague Jake Currie and how you can go back in time to discover what might be causing any pain you're experiencing in your body.
It's time to discover what is possible when you go beyond what you think the problem is and be curious about what else might be preventing you from feeling your best.

Breathing keeps us alive. We do it on autopilot. But beyond that, what I’ve really noticed in both myself and many of my clients is that so many of us walk around like we’re holding our breath. With the climate of the world the way it is, we’ve normalized stress and it often shows up in our bodies this way.
That brings me to my special guest today on episode 172, Miyako Hazama. She caught my eye in one of the groups we’re in together because she’s a breath expert. In this episode, we have a conversation about how we can use our breath to help us heal ourselves, from the inside out.
1:44 - A little background on Miyako and what led to her work
7:45 - What Miyako’s breathing technique for healing is all about
13:20 - How breath can bring your nervous system back online
19:06 - Where to start with your breathing so you can see what calm feels like in your body
24:44 - A visualization to help you practice Miyako’s breathing technique
29:50 - How this breathing technique literally changed one woman from the inside out
31:42 - Breathing out what isn’t useful and why I wanted to talk with someone with a solid background in breathwork
39:02 - The power of breathwork to help ease you through menopause and the aging process
46:00 - The difference in using Miyako’s breathing technique as part of your self-love practice

In episode 171 Lisa shares her most recent ski trip and lessons in parenting her perfectionist, high achiever 10-year-old.
How often do you steal someone's opportunity to save themselves because you're jumping in to help? This can happen frequently with our kids, but how much are we robbing them of the ability to be resilient if we're always there to figure it out for them and with them?
There is so much to be learned by allowing ourselves and others to be in the "suck" of not being good at something. To embrace the discomfort of not being where you want to be, but learning how to show up for ourselves with compassion and kindness.

In episode 170 Lisa shares a lesson she learned when her youngest son Jake was just 5 about expectations.
Nothing quite like getting the training wheels off only to be thrust into oncoming traffic to realize that maybe those expectations were a bit unrealistic.
Do you often set the bar so high that you struggle to feel successful, or fulfilled, or simply happy?
Are you always reaching for more, but then telling yourself that you should already be there by now?
Today's episode will challenge you to look at where you can lower the bar, so you can achieve more and allow space for more compassion, empathy and understanding.

Now more than ever before, you're going to want to have as many tools as possible to navigate life and remain at peace. Mastering where you're holding your attention and being able to shift yourself into a more empowered way of being is a game changer.

What comes up whenever you hear the word “discipline”? Do images of drill sergeants dance in your head? Do your hackles raise up?
I’ve had an interesting dance with the concept of discipline over the years. I used to love it... until I went through a stage that caused me to hate the very mention of it.
Now I’m back to a place where I see discipline as the most loving thing I can give myself. In this episode, I talk about that history, cover how discipline ties into your view of yourself, and illustrate why it’s nothing more than a word with whatever connotation you choose to give it.
1:59 - Our dichotomous relationship with discipline
4:21 - How your body can still respond to stress even if you don’t feel stressed
7:14 - The time I wanted nothing to do with discipline
9:22 - How I tried to take the edge out of the word “discipline”
11:08 - The benefits that discipline gives me and how I embrace it in my life now

How do you view receiving help, compliments, gifts, and so on from others? What do you make receiving mean about yourself? In this episode, I dive into the massive problem many givers and over givers have with the flip side of giving. You’ll hear some of my stories about receiving, blocking that energy, and what it means when you do, in hopes that you’ll look at your behavioral patterns to see if there’s a need for change.
1:40 - Why this used to be a highly triggering time of the year for me
3:52 - How the way you receive affects the way you give as well
6:16 - Realizing when you’re fighting for your limitations
9:25 - Why I felt like the Wicked Witch of Oz in a group therapy session and the stunning self-realization it led to

Has this year had you on a bit of an emotional roller coaster? I know this year has been a very confronting year for me. I’ve been seeing things differently and riding a wave of emotion. It’s a reminder that you can always look at how you react to your life in different ways. So how can we respond to our lives differently, now that the season of contemplation is upon us with New Year’s approaching?

In Canada and the U.S., the season of giving started in early October: giving candy to strangers and thanks to our fortunes over the past year. Now, the season of giving is about to be cranked up for everyone with the addition of giving gifts to loved ones and money to good causes.
In this re-released episode, I want to unpack the perils of giving to the point of exhaustion, frustration, anger, and resentment. Women especially get caught in this cycle of giving as a way of showing love and demonstrating that everyone and everything comes before we do. Instead, let’s talk about shifting your energy and giving from a place of love, not lack.
4:40 - Why women operate from a place of martyrdom
6:42 - The client who was conditioned to hand her worthiness over to someone else
8:03 - How a kid’s book demonstrates what I see wrong about the belief women have about our value

The concept of commitment is an interesting beast. It’s never something I’ve struggled with personally. I’m a pretty committed person, and it actually isn’t a problem for many people. What I find most of my clients struggling with is overcommitment. They become so driven for success that they overdue it. So in this episode, I want to address how I’ve created success for myself by being 100% committed to a lot less.
3:20 - How I’m being very committed to being non-committed
6:59 - Where I see so many people run into problems with overcommitment
8:17 - The key component to following through on your commitments

I turned 49 years old on the day of recording this episode, so happy birthday to me! Your 40s is the time to really release attachment to what others think about you and discover the stories you tell yourself about yourself, at least that’s been my experience.

So in this episode, I’m taking this opportunity, feeling the feels about my birthday, and sharing it with you!

Have you ever thought about what it looks like to slow down? Or why so many of us want to avoid it? I used to be the kind of person who refused to slow down. But in this episode, I talk about what it took for me to finally sit in silence for a while and the things I discovered about myself. Hopefully, it’ll help you uncover some things about yourself too, especially if you’re the really driven, ambitious type.

Do you tend to go off the deep end when things don’t go the way you want when you want them? Life rarely goes according to plan. I used to lose my shit when something went wrong in my day, but these days I live from a place where everything will always work out even when things look dicey.
Sometimes, though, when things aren’t working it can be a challenge to get yourself back into that space. So in this episode, I want to talk about how to trust in yourself and the belief that everything will be okay.

You might have big, audacious goals and feel unapologetic about wanting to create an extraordinary life for yourself. I know I want that for myself as well. But are you addicted to doing more, working more, achieving more to the detriment of your health?
Just because you want more doesn’t mean you have to burn yourself out in the process. In fact, rest is my #1 success strategy. So in today’s episode, I really want to discuss why I view it as such and how you can start to look at rest differently.
2:52 - What is your relationship with rest?
3:57 - Why I really struggled to learn how to rest
6:22 - How the past year or so of the pandemic has impacted me and my nervous system

If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I tend to talk a lot about how to care for yourself. Today, I have a special guest on with me to discuss this in a way I’ve never really dove into before.
Cindy Ingram is a former client of mine, as well as a good friend and colleague. As an art lover, former art teacher, and art connection facilitator, Cindy knows that art is a great way to connect with your emotions. I know that, for me, art has become really powerful but not necessarily in the way we think of art.
So in this episode, we delve into emotional fluency and feeling your feelings but through the lens of personal art connection. Cindy even walks me through an interactive exercise where I personally connect with a work of art live, right here on the show!
2:11 - Cindy discusses her deeply emotional connection with art
5:55 - Art’s ability to allow you feel safe in your feelings
7:38 - Using art as a tool to practice self-care

Talking about the cycle of relapse sounds dramatic, like I’m talking about an addict in recovery, right? And in a way, that’s not far from the truth, but what do I really mean here? The cycle of relapse is really about understanding behaviors you exhibit that pull you out of alignment with yourself and prevent you from feeling good.
These are your red flag behaviors and they crop up long before you even get to the relapse stage. But it all starts with you being triggered by something. In this episode, I discuss how to uncover and understand your red flag behaviors and even walk you through how I figured out and dealt with some of my own.
5:54 - One of the red flag behaviors I repeated for a very long time
9:32 - How I recently found myself caught up in a whole bunch of red flag behaviors

I recorded this episode the same week Facebook and Instagram went lights out. Some people went into a bit of a tailspin over the downtime, but for me it was an awesome day! There was nothing to do but just be completely present in my life.
Your experience might have been different though. Did you find yourself feeling fearful and anxious? Did you struggle to figure out what to do when you kept reaching for your phone to check social media, only to remember it wasn’t available?
One thing I often hear from women is about the lack of time they have to do the things they want. But I’m here to tell you, it’s never a time problem. It’s a priority problem, and too many people have made Facebook and Instagram such big priorities that they’ve become addicted. So in this episode, I want to talk about the opportunity the social media blackout presented, one which invited us to look at where we spend our time and energy.
1:58 - Why Facebook’s downtime didn’t impact me or my business
3:56 - How to figure out exactly how you spend your time
7:07 - A reminder of why you don’t have to be on social media every day

Goal setting has a dark side to it that people don’t talk about. It’s why so many of us struggle in the aftermath of attaining a goal. We can end up creating a whole host of problems for ourselves if we’re unaware.

A while back, I did an episode about my alter ego Tylere and even read a bit from the document I created for her back in 2016. When I wrote that document, I couldn’t see how it’d come to fruition, nor did I really believe it ever would. But after my WBFF show, I realize that I’ve fully embraced and become that alter ego to the point where I don’t even need one anymore.

In today's bonus episode of the podcast I am talking to Katie Soy who is not just a colleague and good friend, but also a story coach, writer and author. I want you to know her and why her work is important to you and the children in your life.
In this conversation we dive into what it was like to grow up feeling like we were different, why our emotions were so big and what happened when we learned to stuff everything we were feeling down. In this episode, we speak to the journey of creating emotional fluency in ourselves and what it looks like to support our children as they try to decipher what they are feeling before they have the language of emotions.
Today Katie is launching her second audiobook in the series about Gem an adopted Firefly and her adventures with her friends.
I invite you to explore both titles at www.katiesoy.com/fireflystories
The Firefly and the Storm and her newest book The Firefly and the Butterfly by visiting her website at www.katiesoy.com/fireflystories
She has also just announced the launch of her Firefly Society that will support parents, grandparents, caregivers, teachers etc with additional resources to promote emotional well-being in our children along with self-love, self acceptance and deeper knowledge and understanding of what makes each of us unique. It's safe to feel big feelings and inside The Firefly Society her community will surround you with others who are committed to welcoming the voices of their children fully expressed.

I have a very special guest today! When I hired Stacey Harris, founder and CEO of Uncommonly More, to support my podcast production, I was ready to make a bigger impact in the world. I love that she puts people first and uses her background in audio engineering and decades of digital marketing experience to lead her team in supporting hosts like me, helping me market with integrity while I share my message.
Even if you’re not an entrepreneur, you’ll want to listen to this episode. Stacey and I discuss taking imperfect action to get started, letting go of perfectionism and control to move forward regardless of what you do, data vs. feeling and the importance of staying present in your emotions, and when to know it’s time to ask for help. But if you do have or are about to launch your own podcast (or want to uplevel the one you have), then make sure you listen until the end. You’ll hear some amazing things!
5:57 - Who Stacey is and what I thought the first time I met her
9:44 - The social media annoyance that pushed me to start podcasting and my imperfect 1st episode
11:54 - How you decide what you like and what works and doesn’t work for your show
15:30 - When it’s a good time to check in on what you’ve been doing
18:48 - Crucial things people miss too often that cost them and their clients
24:03 - One thing Stacey’s company does for my podcast that I absolutely LOVE
26:08 - What you’ll find impossible to do without support and defaulting into emotions vs. data
29:29 - The utterly nonsensical thing too many say about podcast marketing (or anything, really)
34:15 - Why building trust through imperfect action helps you

I see women struggle with self-care all the time. They’re taking care of so many things between family, career, volunteering and community service, and so on. Yet, they don’t have time to take care of themselves...or so they think.
If you’re not making time for yourself as a priority, what’s it costing you? And how does it look to the people around you, especially your kids? You truly have the power to take care of yourself, even if you believe otherwise, and in this episode I show you how. If you’re tired of being tired, you don’t want to miss this!
3:51 - What you really mean when you say you don’t have time to take care of yourself
7:15 - Why self-care is the most selfless thing you can give yourself

When it comes to changing weight and body composition, too many women have unrealistic expectations and a very disordered relationship with their body and food. I follow someone on Instagram who’ll be at the upcoming World Beauty Fitness and Fashion show, and she did a story around competition prep and dieting that I really appreciated and thought was important to share. So in today’s episode, I talk about why you shouldn’t treat show prep as a pathway to weight loss.

Are you comfortable saying no to people when you want to? Or do you take on things you don’t want so that others won’t call you a b*&#@? Your energy is your #1 priority, but lacking boundaries leaks it from you like a sieve. It’s your responsibility to plug in the holes.
So in this episode, I talk you through setting clear boundaries and share some of my own stories. I also cover how to deal with your guilt and other people’s reactions when you draw that uncrossable line in the sand. The reward waiting for you on the other side is not only worth it but also serves as a stepping stone toward having a wonderful relationship with yourself first!

Have you suffered from a chronic injury that won’t heal no matter what methods you try? How relieved would you feel to be free of the constant ache and worry that you’re destined to live out the rest of your life this way? All it might take to heal your chronic pain is an emotional shift.
Today, I’ve brought on a very special guest Jake Currie, founder of Mind Body Masters. Originally a chiropractor, he quit and sold his successful practice in 2018. Contending with unexplained chronic pain and injuries all his life, he's dedicated himself to understanding the causes of pain, how to eliminate them, and helping others heal from the inside out.
I’m a beneficiary of his work firsthand. In this episode, he and I discuss uncovering the emotional specifics behind your chronic condition and how you have the power to heal yourself physically and emotionally.

11:21 - Why the reemergence of my old hamstring injury became a turning point in my life

31:35 - Why most people falsely believe that pain is purely physical
33:43 - What so many of the women I see don’t recognize about their weight

Many of you who’ve worked with me or listened to this podcast see me as this confident, empowered woman who always has her shit together. Yet, I still face struggles that can undermine my own growth.
One of my biggest challenges involves the upcoming World Beauty Fitness & Fashion (WBFF) show in Las Vegas. In eight weeks, I’ll be walking on its stage as a contestant. It’s a goal of mine that’s been two-and-a-half years in the making.
But twice now I’ve had to confront a fear in my preparation for it. In this episode, I talk about my challenge and how the fear underneath it reflects the subtle yet toxic belief of so many women that stops us from evolving past our comfort zone.
4:24 - One big challenge I faced during my preparation for the WBFF contest
5:44 - How my client called me out on my own bull

In the U.S., 73.69% of the population is considered overweight or obese. In Canada, that number is 63% of the population. Those numbers are staggering and trouble me, especially in light of the pandemic where your chances of hospitalization for COVID triple. And that’s not to mention the myriad of other health issues you have to worry about, pandemic or no pandemic.
If you’ve been tuning into this podcast for a while, you know that a significant portion of my career has been focused on the physical well-being of the people I work with. And while I’ve moved away from concentrating solely on weight, I do want to talk about weight today, the problems it causes, taking personal responsibility for your health, and why it matters.

“Make the choice before you make the choice.” My mentor Jim Fortin uttered this powerful statement. It really hit me and I want to share with you why.

I felt intuitively drawn to do an interview with someone I’ve had the pleasure of working with before. Emma Jensen and I connected thanks to Human Design, a system through which you can know yourself better and have a blueprint for your authentic self underneath all the social conditioning you’ve experienced.

I like to call many of you who listen to this podcast “controllers”. You’re very self-sufficient, know how to get things done, and do things for everyone else. In fact, you believe you know what’s best in other people’s lives. I used to be the same way as well.
We’re being asked to make big decisions these days that may or may not impact us and those around us long-term. But at the end of the day, everyone is responsible for their own choices and the consequences of such. So today’s episode is all about the freedom to choose and allowing it for others as we all move forward, in all areas of life.
4:01 - Riding a wave of emotion lately and feeling grief and gratitude

Today, I’m gonna rant a little. As I step more and more into my leadership role, I think it’s important to also share the icky bits. You can’t truly experience the expansion of joy and gratitude if you’re not also willing to dance at the other end of the emotional spectrum. So in this episode, I cover grief, sadness, anger, and allowing ourselves as women to be okay feeling those “negative” emotions knowing that they too serve you.

This episode is a special encore episode because Mother’s Day is coming up. It was among the first I put out for this podcast and it still rings true today. Back in the day, I was a real dragon mom. I yelled all the time at my kids and believed that if they’d just behave, then I’d feel better. But nothing was further from the truth. So I discuss my transformation into a mom who takes on the responsibility for my own feelings and behaviors and who developed a better relationship with myself and my kids.

What do you believe about others who have what you want? Today’s topic of discussion came up in the last round of my now retired Weight Loss From Within program. The journaling prompt centered around how you can’t have for yourself what you hate or envy in others. When you do so, you’re repelling that energy instead of drawing it to yourself. Really think about the stories you have about people in regard to something you want for yourself.

If you’ve been a regular listener, you’ve heard about how I’ve been feeling very flat and uninspired lately. After sharing how I’ve been feeling, I moved that energy and learned that over the years I was a control freak who didn’t want people to see that I didn’t have it all together. Through years of coaching and therapy, I discovered that I’m my most powerful when I’m talking about my experiences and allowing myself to feel what I’m feeling. Many of my clients also struggle with this. So if you’re feeling emotionally flat, you might have a case of emotional constipation.

I’m committed to living an extraordinary life on my own terms, day in and day out. My business has just passed an incredibly significant milestone (which I’ll share on a future episode). For now, I just need to be present to what I’m experiencing and allow myself to celebrate and process it. So today, I’m taking you along on a drive with me (literally) as I talk about getting from point A to point B and what happens when you get to point B.

5:24 - Why point B doesn’t exist and how it’s like an athlete’s career

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been going in and out of this phase of feeling really flat. I’ve been feeling sad, uninspired, frustrated, sometimes even angry and haven’t felt super inspired to do anything--not be on social media putting out content or consuming others, nor being inspired to write. In fact, I’ve only felt like showing up for my clients and the group I facilitate. Despite not feeling like recording this episode, my mastermind reminded me today of a promise I made: to talk about the gnarly bits of life as well. So I’m discussing how to get over the COVID-induced wall we’ve all hit at some point or another.
3:04 - The impact of a missing connection with women I’m close to

I hear all the time from my clients, “I should have...” over and over. The truth is we don’t know what we don’t know until we know it. We all have blind windows. So when you start telling yourself you should have done this or that, it’s an opportunity for you to pay attention and look at the stories you’re telling yourself. In this short but sweet episode, I talk about why should-ing on yourself makes no sense and is actually detrimental to you.
2:25 - How should-ing contributes to criticism and self-abuse
5:44 - What to do in the moments when the “shoulds” show up

Today’s topic is something I’m super passionate about, and I think it gets a lot of people confused along the way. You’ve probably heard me say, “Let it be easy” but at the same time we still have to do hard things. So we’re going to dive into doing difficult things today. (And on an important side note: I’m celebrating my podcast hitting a major milestone -- 100,000 downloads! Thanks to all my listeners who’ve helped make this possible).

So many are very much attached to their identities of who they think they are. It might be an identity about your body, weight, relationships--things you literally tell yourself that you can’t stop doing. I have a very special guest today who you’ve probably heard me talk about before and who’s been a guest on the show prior. More than anybody I know, my husband Macey has really changed some massive habits in his life. For nine years now, he has been sober! So in this episode, he and I are going to talk a little about his recovery and developing new habits to create a new identity for yourself.

I really want to bring you behind-the-scenes and share part of my life I’ve shared before but in a different way. I closed my last live launch to Weight Loss from Within yesterday, and for the entire week I’ve been feeling a little sad and off, even had hints of anger at times. But this morning I came to realize that today is the anniversary of a very profound day in my life. So often we don’t recognize how much our past is still impacting us, even if we’re not still emotionally tied to it. In this episode, I talk about the catalyst for my huge transformation nine years ago and where I plan to go from here.
3:57 - The huge realization I had by checking my Facebook account today

Initially, I didn't intend to share this, but it’s so good that I had to. I recently retired my Weight Loss From Within program, despite it still doing really well, because I don’t want to focus on just weight loss anymore. To be in integrity with my work, I must ensure that I’m talking about the importance of caring for your physical and emotional well-being, not just specifically focused on how to lose weight.
In late January, I ran a masterclass and poured my heart and soul into it. I had my team strip out the coaching portions and just include myself sharing information on how to stop worrying about your weight, love your body, and take control of your health. So without further ado, enjoy the masterclass!
10:00 - The problem with focusing on the problem you think you have
15:07 - Showing up for your body instead of expecting it to show up for you
21:51 - Body follows the mind, so whatever you tell yourself will become your truth
27:09 - Data about your body doesn’t tell you how to feel but allows for better decisions
33:51 - An acronym to write down that’ll help you slow down, pause, and tune in

When the pandemic hit, my husband and I learned lots of things about homeschooling. But some red flags came up too, particularly with our youngest child. We had to make some really hard decisions about school and what we were going to do. So the pandemic offered us an opportunity to get to know him better, but I was in a whole different land in terms of navigating this and needed some guidance.
That’s where my special guest Sara comes in. She’s a master practitioner who’s been helping people with anxiety for years and years through her work with yoga and ancient practices. But she’s also a mother of a special needs child. I’ve brought her on before to speak about navigating anxiety, including during a pandemic. In this episode, however, we talk about her journey with her autistic son and how she assisted me in taking my power back as a parent.
8:19 - We’re not here to guide our kids as much as they’re here to guide us
16:09 - Why my child was rejected from the recommended school

Today, I’m taking you back in time and pulling an episode out of my archives because it was such an important conversation. I want to make sure you don’t miss this, especially if you’re one of my listeners who’s making the decision to join Weight Loss From Within. In this episode, Allison Taylor shares her journey through the program and how she went from wanting to be thinner, prettier, smarter, and never feeling good enough to feeling more than good enough.
She was constantly in a state of overwhelm, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. Now, she knows how to make herself a priority in her life. She knows how to slow down and makes caring for her physical and emotional well-being a priority. As a mom of two, she’s like so many of you listening to this podcast. To see where she is now from where she was is absolutely mind-blowing!

Although it’s called Weight Loss From Within, what I’ve discovered with most of the women that come through it is that while they’d love to lose a couple of pounds, that’s not really what drew them to the program. The outcomes that everyone has gotten has been so diverse. My guest today, Georgia, joins us from Australia. I remember how she was at the start, and it’s like she’s a new person now! We talk about her journey through the program, especially who she was when she began and what changes transpired in her in the process.

8:02 - The “wow” moment where Georgia realized she’d found the missing link

I’m bringing on a series of women who’ve worked with me through my Weight Loss From Within program. I get excited when I get to do this, because it’s an opportunity for them to celebrate their journey. My work has nothing to do with me; it’s all about the women I’m here to serve. I believe in the power of storytelling, and I believe that each of these women will say something that you'll hear and resonate with in your own life. To that end, this week I talk with Janine about her self-transformation as she journeyed through the program.
2:33 - How Janine felt about herself and her body when we first met

Years ago, around this time of year, I felt really sad and wondered when my business would turn around. I was really living from this place of lack and feeling like I wasn’t good enough.

This year I want to release the difficulty I have in batching my podcast episodes. I have some amazing things lined up for 2021, and batching opens up my availability and gives me more space and time to work on what I want to bring you. That’s why I want to talk about this idea of releasing things and having an honest conversation about the things you’re actually very committed to even if you say you don’t want to be, such as negative self-talk. You’re not your thoughts; you’re just the thinker of your thoughts and can always create new ones. So what do you want to leave behind in 2020 that isn’t serving you? Let’s get into it!

How do you want to feel about your body? If you don’t know, start figuring it out by writing how you currently feel about it. But here’s the thing--you can feel the way you want to feel right now, and nothing needs to change. How you think and feel about your body has nothing to do with your circumstances, the number on the scale, or anything else outside of yourself. In this episode, I emphasize this perpetual truth: you get to choose how you feel, starting right now.

We develop a pattern of being hard on ourselves at a young age. Over the years, I’ve struggled with this myself and worked with ambitious, driven, high achiever women who deny themselves as such until I ask them to list out all their accomplishments. Then they realize they’ve glossed over them and never celebrated their wins. Do you do this to yourself? If so, how does that behavior cost or even benefit you? Listen on for ways to break out of this pattern.

I recorded this episode on Saturday, an odd day for me. But I felt inspired to talk about this now with the latest wave of COVID-19 in progress worldwide. Believe it or not, despite doing this podcast every week, I sometimes find it hard to find my voice. But right now, we’re living in a world with so much diametrical thinking: you have to be on one side or the other, you have to do this or the opposite thing. This week, I’m making an impassioned plea for us all to wake up and embrace both/and thinking.

It wasn’t until I took a couple of days, checked myself into a hotel, and stepped out of my life that I realized how fatigued I was.

In episode 99 Lisa goes deeper down the rabbit hole of the stories that have shaped your identity and how you can use your children to identify your own blindspots. Parents often get caught in the trap of being focused on shaping their children without realizing that they are here to also shape you. Not by simply shaping you into what it means to be a parent but also by giving you the opportunity to look more deeply at the stories and beliefs you hold that are also playing out in your children.
Todays episode is meant to support you asking better questions of yourself so you can continue to know yourself better and free yourself from the identities that have been holding you back from living your most extraordinary life.

In episode 98 Lisa shares her journey of releasing old judgements and how she measured herself against others to create an unrealistic idea of who she thought she should be. We all tell ourselves stories about who we think we are, what we believe we should be able to do, and to make it worse when we believe these stories we block ourselves from knowing and understand the truth of our brilliance.
Listen to the episode and then begin to gather your own data to determine how you can honor your strengths and your weakness and how to see the value in both. Nothing defines you but when you know yourself better and stop making the data mean anything you'll be able to harness your true power and potential.

In episode 97 Lisa jumps into the conversation about women and money. Have you considered what it looks like when you want to invest in yourself? Maybe it's a new outfit or maybe it's a larger investment like 1:1 coaching or joining a program such as Jim Fortins Transformational Coaching Program. Do you ask permission from your partner have to try to convince them? Or do you have an empowered conversation and advocate for yourself? Do you feel empowered about your relationship with your partner and money or do you feel like everything you want is outside of your control?

In episode 91 Lisa takes you along for an evening stroll while asking you to consider that the problem you think you have is in fact NOT your problem. Learning to love your body and create any type of transformation goes far beyond the things you need to DO (although this plays a big part) but have you ever considered what makes doing the doing so hard? Or why you sabotage your efforts time and time again? Have you ever thought about the idea that what you think is the problem is the very thing distracting you from the work that will have a much more profound and lasting impact?
This episode may bump up against some of the things you believe about what it takes to create transformation and what it means to take 100% responsibility for your results instead of using your excuses as the reason why you can't.
Thursday, July 30 is the final day you can register for Weight Loss From Within™ Lisa's 6-week intensive live coaching program that will help you uncover the real problem holding you back from having a healthy and loving relationship with your body.

It's not ok to turn away and not take a stand. In this conversation, Lisa and Emily speak to how they are feeling their feelings and the actions they are taking to be fully responsible for their blind spots so they can be better allies and part of the solution.
Below you will find a list of resources to support white people to learn what it means to dismantle racism and educate yourself on where YOU are not showing up and thus contributing to the problem. The world needs us to be ally's to our coloured friends not colour blind. If you think you aren't racist please think again and dive into this work. You'll be surprised what you'll learn about yourself and how much knowing this information will make an impact.

In episode 78 Lisa chats with her dear friend Lisa Corduff (the other Lisa C) about the new perspectives they've gotten from COVID. There has never been an opportunity like this where you've all gotten to step out of your life and take inventory of what is and isn't working. What kind of "normal" were you living with before and is this a normal you want to return to? Humans are built for resiliency however that doesn't mean we like change or upheaval. In fact, most of us live our lives trying to avoid change and discomfort. We do everything we can to normalize that which isn't normal and to avoid feeling anything that makes us feel bad. The question becomes what behaviours were you tolerating pre-COVID that you're no longer willing to tolerate? What stories have you been telling yourself about life that you no longer want to believe? What changes do you want to make and what kind of life do you want moving forward?
Pour yourself a cup of tea and join the ladies as they engage in a real conversation about life, parenting, transformation and possibility during and after a pandemic.
You've probably already realized that you'll never be "ready" for change. You have to take action regardless of your readiness if you want to create a life where you get to thrive instead of surviving.

In episode 71 Lisa takes you back in time 8 years ago when she experienced her own personal crisis that impacted every area of her life. When you are willing to explore your circumstances as opportunities, let go of worry, anger, resentment and fear you'll find your emotions were simply trying to show you what you've been missing. The best time to dive into transformational work is when life is life-ing because you are forced to practise the lessons daily and sometimes hourly.

Taking care of ourselves emotionally is not something that most of us were taught however not acknowledging what you're feeling is the cause of physical illness and injuries not to mention burnout.

In episode 68 Lisa's dives deep into the current state of the world and the feelings of uncertainty that you may be feeling. She also shares how she is navigating her fitness show being cancelled just 3 weeks from her taking the WBFF stage in LA and the perspectives she's using to stay the course and support others who are experiencing fear, loss and how to show up for yourself during this unique time in history. Emotions can feel confusing and as a high functioning woman, it's more important than ever that you double down on taking care of yourself, taking the time to tune in and acknowledge how you're feeling and be responsible for showing up as part of the solution. It's ok to feel whatever you're feeling AND take ownership of what you need to do to feel better.
This too shall pass but how we collectively show up as humans will determine how quickly we bounce back and create a better world for us all.
You don't have to like what's happening to accept it and with a dose of faith, trust and commitment to supporting yourself and others we will not only rise but THRIVE on the other side of this COVID pandemic.

In episode 67 Lisa dives into the difference between physical and emotional fatigue and how often her clients step over this important energy metric. This podcast focuses on helping high functioning women slow down and do less better and today we're talking about the emotional cost of pushing through. Life is always going to throw you curve balls and if you are the kind of person who just puts her head down and pushes through this an episode you need to download. Have you ever considered your level your emotional fatigue from years of overcoming?
What is it costing you to normalize things that have happened to you in life that aren't "normal"? Emotional fatigue is just as toxic as physical fatigue and in this episode, Lisa encourages her listeners to slow down and reflect on the emotions they've been carrying around from previous life experiences that they haven't fully acknowledged so that they can reclaim their emotional energy.

In episode 65 Lisa shares what happens when you surrender and accept the things you can't change and what is possible from this powerful perspective. In life, things will happen that you can't control, don't like and wish could be different however when you learn to use the tools of acceptance and surrender you'll find a peace you never knew existed. As always, you get to choose the perspective that serves you living your best life and if you're choosing to live pushing back against your reality you will only create more resistance and more unease. As the saying goes... what you resist persists.
You don't have to like your current set of circumstances to accept them but what is possible if you allowed yourself to surrender and stop fighting them?

In episode 63 of the podcast, Lisa reflects on one of her most profound moments of "failure" and what it taught her about success. When we cling to the achievement as THE THING we miss out on what is most important and that is the journey on the way to the goal. Everything you need to learn to move you forward in your life will come in the moments that knock you down, spin you out and make you question what you are doing. In today's episode, you'll learn how to reframe your failure moments, unpack the meaning you've given them and come out the other side realizing that what you want is and has always been available to you.
It doesn't matter if you're looking to lose weight, create more financial abundance, have more time or find that relationship you've dreamed about. Every moment you've lived has been nudging you forward and now is the time to reframe what you think hasn't worked and look at what's possible if you shift into a new perspective.
The universe is ALWAYS setting things up in your favour (even in the moments you feel like life and your circumstances are against you) and Lisa shares a powerful message she received straight from Eminem on the Oscar stage in a moment she needed her own shift.

In episode 62 of the podcast Lisa reflects on the internet explosion of reactions to the Super Bowl performance by J-Lo and Shakira. Are you sitting in judgement of the performance or celebrating it? How we view other women is a powerful window into our own beliefs and values and today Lisa challenges her listeners to explore their own perspectives.
What do you believe about women being sexy AND being smart?
Did this performance set women back or challenge us to embrace just how powerful feminine energy can be?
Did you judge the entertainers for how they looked or how they performed? Would you extend the same critique to men?
Where are you uncomfortable with your own body, sexuality or feelings of how you should behave?
Where are you perhaps not fully expressing yourself or acknowledging what you want in life?

Episode 61 is going to challenge what you believe to be true about your life and the circumstances you're living from. What if being "busy" has become your identity and the time you're looking for is never going to happen because subconsciously you're CHOOSING to stay busy? In today's episode, Lisa dives into the identity of a being a high achiever and why so many of her clients are but don't identify with this label along with what keeps you from feeling the success and fulfilment you desire.
Grab your pen and take some notes because if you truly want to slow down and create space for yourself to thrive you're going to need to take the time to honestly reflect on your beliefs and behaviours.

In episode 60 of the podcast, Lisa shares the behind the scenes process of getting back onto the competitive stage of fitness/bodybuilding and how it relates to what her clients TOLERATE day in and day out without even realizing it.

Have you ever considered what your clothes say about you or have you ever struggled with dressing your body?

Nicole has opened the inaugural round of her Style Your Brand workshop which is a 5-week program designed to help you create a wardrobe that truly allows you to show up and shine.

In Episode 47 Lisa dives into the power of being comfortable with discomfort. It's easy to read books and take courses hoping for transformation but when we avoid being uncomfortable not much changes. When you can learn to lean into behaving differently and be ok with being uncomfortable that's when lasting transformation begins.
Before you know it the uncomfortable will become comfortable and life will look very different.

In episode 46 Lisa dives into guilt vs shame and the impact both emotions have on us. What you may or may not know is that most addictions (both substance and behaviour addictions) are driven and fuelled by shame. Shame is the voice in your head that tells you you're not good enough and will hold you hostage. It keeps you from speaking up, sharing your struggles and frustrated with why you can't seem to change. Shame is the gateway to transformation and in today's episode, Lisa gives you tools to identify your shame voice, release it and forgive. You have the power to transform your stories and in doing so transform your life.

In episode 44 Lisa asks her listeners to explore what stories are holding them back from taking responsibility for the health, happiness and joy they deserve to have in life. It's only when you have the courage to explore the excuses you're making and get honest about what those excuses are costing you that you'll consider a change. No one can do the work for you and although transformation isn't comfortable, isn't it fair to say that choosing to suffer at your own hands is a much bigger price to pay?
Lisa is currently accepting new coaching clients so if you're the type of woman who is no longer willing to be available for anything less than an extraordinary life book your call today.

In episode 43 Lisa shares about what is possible when you allow yourself to acknowledge and take responsibility for what it is you need to thrive. Having needs is part of the human experience however, many of us learned at an early age that having needs made us weak, emotional, or drama queens. It's ok to ask for what you need in healthy ways and it's imperative that you understand what it is you need to show up as your best self.

When was the last time you paused, acknowledged and celebrated your accomplishments? If you're like most of my clients the thought of this probably hasn't even crossed your mind. Heck, you're too focused on what's next to pause and reflect on what's here now.
In today's episode, Lisa shares the importance of the pause and how to honour your big accomplishments instead of just stepping over them like they didn't matter. In our pursuit of achievement, we must remember that we need to celebrate who we've become along the journey because it matters. Our self-worth is our responsibility and taking time to celebrate ourselves isn't being a braggart or boastful it's a way of showing ourselves that we value who we're being in the world.

In today's bonus episode Lisa introduces her listeners to her friend, colleague and fellow coach Adam Kiddoo where they dive deep into a conversation about giving and receiving.
They explore giving as a way to control and what it means to give with NO attachment. They also challenge the beliefs you may hold around what giving means and also what you may or may not realize about receiving. This is a powerful conversation about letting go, opening yourself up to possibility, releasing attachment and what it means to not be focused on the outcome. You won't look at giving or receiving through the same lens once you discover the lessons both are here to teach you.

In todays episode I'm highlighting one of my previous clients Elisa and her journey of transformation from can't' to CAN. As a 44 year old type A, professional woman who is also juggling a family with special needs children Elisa lived her life working more, trying harder, reaching for perfection and in the process let herself, her health and her identity go. She got lost in the chaos of her life and her physical and emotional health reflected her lack of attention to her own self care. In a cycle of burnout and living on coffee she decided things needed to change (and with the real threat of diabetes on the horizon). She realized that she couldn't change her circumstances but she could change how she was showing up for herself regardless of the circumstances.
Elisa's story is COMMON and what she was able to accomplish is also available to you.

How do I learn to like my body and how do I escape and not be influenced by what I'm being sold as beautiful so I can actually like myself?" Lisa's Weight Loss From Within Transformational 30 day program is now open for enrolment. Class starts July 26 and you can register at www.lisacapenter.ca/wfw You can also connect with her over on Instagram HERE
In todays episode Lisa shares her process of letting go, acceptance and why gratitude is often exactly the WRONG way to look at things. Yes, you can be grateful but are you using gratitude to not face emotions that you need to acknowledge and release?
Life is constantly changing and transforming and if you don't learn how to accept, let go and stay present you'll struggle with being caught in the past or trying to live in a future that hasn't happened.
If you run from your emotions they WILL chase you and show up in behaviours that don't help you live your best life or be your best self.
Tune in and enjoy!

In this weeks episode we're trying something new by welcoming Lisa's first guest Sara Intonato. We dive into topics such as navigating perfectionism, anxiety and how she built a multiple 6 figure business in an industry that struggles to value itself. We also discussed how she's now taking her expertise and helping others own their value and create the lives they want for themselves.
Connect with Sara on Instagram HERE
Find her website HERE
To apply for her business mentoring program contact her at Sara@sarayoga.com
Sara Intonato (Level 2 Authorized Ashtanga Yoga Teacher) committed to a daily yoga
practice in 2001 as a means of coping with debilitating anxiety attacks. Just 20 years old,
yoga provided Sara with the tools to manage her anxiety attacks and a renewed sense
of clarity in her life. By the time Sara graduated from Boston University in 2003, she had
already completed her 200 hour teacher training and begun focusing her studies in the
Ashtanga Yoga method. Instead of working on Wall Street or applying to law school, the
recent college graduate embarked on the journey of entrepreneurship and began
freelance work as a yoga teacher.
In 2005, Sara made her first trip to Mysore, India to study under Guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
and deepen her connection to the Ashtanga Yoga lineage. That same year, Sara led her
first ever yoga retreat in Montauk, New York. Incredibly inspired by her trip to India, Sara
committed to living her passion of helping others heal through yoga in a variety of settings.
Over the last 15 years, Sara has transitioned her business model tremendously and now
hosts four sold out retreats per year, at local and international venues. She was the
consulting director of the Mysore style Ashtanga Yoga program at Absolute Yoga in
Woodbury, which was the only traditional Ashtanga program in Nassau county. She now
teaches one on one private lessons and never hesitates to work with someone who is
faced with serious limitations.
After noticing a greater need for spiritual tools to be used off the mat, Sara created two
online yoga philosophy courses, using recorded and live content, which allow students
to bring yoga off the mat and into their lives 24/7. Sara shows her students that yoga can
heal anyone, so long as he or she is willing to do the work with commitment.
While many yoga teachers find the entrepreneurial journey intimidating, Sara embraces it
as her zone of genius. Teaching yoga is her gift, and growing her own business continues
to be part of her spiritual journey.
The most crucial part of this journey is to be a perpetual student. Sara continues to make
annual trips to India and study at KPJAYI in Mysore, and was awarded with her
authorization in 2013. She is honored to preserve the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga with
authenticity.
As a mother of two young children, one of whom has special needs, Sara is a passionate
advocate for empowering those in challenging life circumstances with the ancient wisdom
of yoga.
In todays episode Lisa unpacks the perils of giving and how it contributes to exhaustion, resentment, anger and frustration. Women often get caught in the stories of what it means to give, how to show love and why we believe that everyone and everything must come before us. This simply isn't true. Today we're unpacking if giving is coming from LOVE or LACK and how to shift your energy. Special thanks to Kirsten for sharing her powerful take aways from episode 15 How to stop yelling at your kids and be a great mom which inspired this episode.

In todays episode Lisa dives deeper into what it means to matter in your own life. She explores what it takes to truly care for you physical body and your emotional well-being. It's not something you DO but who you're willing to become.
I need to talk about the relationship you're having with your body....
This has been a foundational part of my work for years now because YOUR BODY is a direct reflection of how you feel about yourself.
Treating your body like an afterthought means you're treating YOURSELF as an afterthought.
It is the vehicle you get to DO life in.
It lets you experience your 3D world.
It is the vessel that allows you to live out your soul's purpose.
It lets you see, hear, smell, taste and touch your physical world.
It gives you LIFE.
If you're feeding it crap
If you're not giving it rest
If you're not giving it movement
If you're feeding it toxic thoughts
If you're demanding it work to exhaustion
If you're hating on how it looks
You destroy it.
It will support you until it no longer can.
Think about it
It's the ultimate co-dependent relationship...
You treat your body like crap yet it CONTINUES to show up for you and give you LIFE.
Would you stay in a relationship with a person who treated you the way you're treating your body?
If you want to live your life with the highest level of performance then HONOUR your most valuable piece of equipment like a Mazarati and not a broken down Chevette.
Successful people KNOW that they can only serve at their highest level by making their relationship with their physical body a number ONE priority.
REST
MOVE
EAT TO NOURISH
PLAY
BE PRESENT TO ALL FIVE SENSES IN THE MOMENT
When you fundamentally shift the energy in the "DOING" of these activities you take self-care to a higher level.
They are not punishments to create an outcome.
Treat your body with the REVERENCE it deserves and you'll get to enjoy life and make an impact on an entirely different level.
We are cosmic beings having a human experience AND while you're here respect your physical ride.
~ Lisa

Today on the podcast I'm talking about self care and specifically what it is and isn't and why the term annoys me. Self care isn't something you DO but who you are BEING. Tune in to get my perspective and understand why as high achieving, driven women we don't need more things to DO but must fundamentally change who we're being if we want to reap the rewards of better emotional and physical well-being. Unless you change how you think and feel about yourself from the inside out you'll still be facing overwhelm, exhaustion and frustration about why you can't seem to feel better no matter what you do.

Hey hey listeners!
Yesterday I posted the following over on my social media channels and today I'm sharing how it made me feel and how I'm navigating all of the emotion of putting myself out into the world in this way.
I'm launching my new podcast in a few days and let me just say, it's far from perfect.
There's no fancy intro and outro.
There's no cool voice over.
I don't have show notes.
One episode I recorded in my car.
This is the foundation of Full Frontal Living™
I don't wait for perfect.
I challenge myself to sit in the discomfort of launching something that isn't more polished.
I challenge myself to speak when the message wants to come through me and not when I'm sitting perfectly poised in front of my fancy mic.
I challenge myself to just speak what's on my mind WITHOUT a script, with some "uhms" mixed in and unedited.
For far too many years I waited...
and waited...
and waited...
Waited until the graphics were perfect.
Waited until the branding was perfect.
Waited until I had the perfect thing to say.
Waited for the perfect sales page.
Waited for the right time.
Do you know what happened?
Nothing.
I just wasted time and robbed the people who needed to hear my message from finding me.
Not anymore.
I commit to showing up REGARDLESS of the circumstances.
I commit to being there for my audience.
I commit to being in integrity with how I live and how I coach.
I commit to transparency.
I commit to just being me (which is far from perfect).
I commit to allowing things to be DONE and figuring out the rest later.
Perfection is just a smoke screen we throw up to hide our insecurities and fears.
It has NOTHING to do with excellence.
My people need me to show up raw because they're craving someone to give them permission to do the same.
They're craving freedom from their fears, doubts and judgments.
I am launching this for all the high achievers who are being so damn hard on themselves.
Successful women who are looking for freedom from doing all the things, freedom from overwhelm, and freedom from their anxiety, doubts and exhaustion.
I'm here to preach what physical and emotional wellbeing looks like when you practise it from the inside out.
This podcast is for those of us who LOVE what we do but who need to love ourselves more.
You can create massive impact while having a healthy relationship with your body, your business and the people you love.
We all deserve to have a voice and we all need other voices to guide us towards becoming the best versions of ourselves.
I'm excited, nervous and humbled that I to some I will be that voice.
I'd love for you to share your insights from this episode over on IG or FB by sliding into my DM's.

Join me on my first carcast after being inspired during my regular Sunday grocery shop. I just couldn't hold myself back from sharing this interaction and my take aways from it.
A complete stranger inspired me to talk about money.
How we think about it.
What we believe about it.
Have you ever explored your stories about money?
Have you considered how much those stories are impacting you on a daily basis?
Your relationship with money is often mirrored in your relationship with food OR is the same journey as someone who struggles with their weight.
Diets and debt are both grounded in lack.
Money and food are ENERGY.
How you think and feel about them will determine your level of wealth and health.
YOU must become 100% responsible for your relationship with your money.
I'd love to hear your insights from this episode so slide into my DM's over on IG https://www.instagram.com/lisacarpenterinc/

Are you constantly fatigued?
In this episode I share exactly what happens when we're trying to run our lives and businesses from exhaustion.
You have a choice in how you can show up for yourself but it means taking responsibility for your foundational self care.
This will help you navigate your emotions, your nutrition, your relationships and give you the tools to help you make better choices so you can be your best self.
I'd love for you to share your non negotiable self care practises or how you're committed to showing up for yourself in a more kind, loving way over on IG by sliding into my DM's https://www.instagram.com/lisacarpenterinc/

In today's episode I share my journey about burnout, over-doing, commitment, discipline and how I was able to recover and redefine how to work with my energy inside my business.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on discipline or any ah ha's you had during this episode over on IG

Hey hey everyone and welcome to episode 1 of the Full Frontal Living Podcast. My name is Lisa Carpenter and I’m a master coach, emotional resiliency expert and bestselling Amazon author here to disrupt the conversation about what it means to matter in your own life.
I’ve been a coach for almost 2 decades and during this time I’ve experienced a ton of personal and professional growth and witnessed radical physical and emotional transformations in my clients. This podcast is a platform for me to share stories, perspectives, insights and even my tear and tantrum moments on how to have a relationship with yourself that will take you from being a burnout high achieving, over do-er, to someone who lives a Full Frontal life that focuses on doing less better and who you are BEing in the world.
We’re going to stop being human DO-ings and embrace more BEing.
I’m here to disrupt the conversation about self care and look at what this means for you. Self care isn’t something DO but who you’re willing to become and the behaviours and beliefs you’re willing to embody. I’m here to talk about why high achievers typically put themselves last and how you can love what you do but love yourself more.
This isn’t going to be a conversation about mani’s and pedi’s but a deeper dive into why you’re struggling to matter more in your life. Why we’ve made doing more, achieving more, working hard and chasing success something we take pride in but rarely celebrate. I want to have the conversation about why we’re throwing ourselves under the bus physically and emotionally to do the things we love but aren’t stopping to assess if we are loving the things we’re doing and what it’s costing us.
What exactly are we striving for and what if fulfillment can’t be found in another certificate on the wall, the perfect home, weight loss, your next accomplishment, the perfect kids or marriage or the amount of money you have in the bank.
I’m here to call bullshit on all the behaviours you’re stuck in to avoid feeling bad and to try to outrun the unconscious stories you’re telling yourself. Every habit and behaviour you have is driven by how you think and feel about yourself, however unless you slow down and get curious about what these are and how you’re actually feeling you’re going to continue to feel stuck, exhausted and frustrated. You’ll keep hating on your body, struggling in your work, wrestling with debt and your money, never feeling like you have enough time, never feeling good enough and swinging back and forth between loving your family and wanting to run far far away.
I’m here to disrupt the status quo and challenge you to see your life differently. I want you to see YOU differently.
I want you, my dear listener, to start asking yourself better questions so you can cultivate a deeper more connected relationship with yourself. Full Frontal Living demands you take responsibility for you life and no longer live by your circumstances.
