0:43

Walters , and I have a special

0:46

guest today , lisa Rose

0:48

. Yes , welcome

0:50

, thank you .

0:51

Thank you for having me . I'm so glad that

0:53

we actually get to do this Right

0:55

. We finally were just meeting in person for the first

0:57

time , but I feel like I've known you for

0:59

so long .

1:00

Right the journey , the journey and

1:02

the beauty of being

1:04

authentically you and

1:07

building connections through being yourself Because

1:10

, like you said , this is our first time meeting

1:12

, but the

1:14

energy online matches

1:18

, if not exceeds yes

1:22

. Yeah , yes

1:24

, I appreciate that it's not

1:26

easy . It's not easy for

1:29

people to like

1:31

put themselves out there online in the first place

1:33

, right .

1:36

You know , you know that there are people out there that are

1:38

like trolling right , that are like just

1:40

ready to like put

1:42

you down because you've actually been vulnerable

1:44

and been authentic and you're actually putting yourself out

1:46

there . But the beauty in

1:48

it is that you get to meet people

1:51

like Natalie . You get to meet

1:53

people that are real and authentic and

1:55

that reach out to you because they

1:57

care , and I think that's the best thing

1:59

that comes from being vulnerable and authentic

2:01

in social media .

2:03

Yeah , it is , and okay , so

2:05

there's also something

2:07

about divine timing as well , right ? Yes

2:10

, because we met online

2:12

. We've been communicating and we were supposed to record

2:14

before , but it wasn't the right time .

2:17

Right .

2:18

And Lisa was basically like have , have

2:20

, have , be . It's okay

2:22

you're going through or you're going through a transition

2:24

. It's okay , contact me when

2:26

you're ready . And I appreciate you for

2:29

being mindful of that , because not everybody

2:31

understands that it's like you canceled yeah

2:34

, you know , and then you feel bad , but I appreciate

2:36

that you gave me grace with that . And

2:38

today's topic is definitely about

2:40

rediscovering your best self and that

2:43

is the premise of the reset with that podcast

2:45

. Right , I speak to

2:47

women over 35 . So if

2:49

you're younger , then you're getting the gems

2:51

.

2:52

If you're within

2:56

, the yes , you're getting it .

2:57

But if you're in the age range

2:59

and beyond , then you understand

3:01

some of the things that are going on

3:04

right yeah . And , in the

3:06

process of rediscovering your best self

3:08

, is also preparing for

3:10

unexpected , or what happens

3:12

when the unexpected happens right

3:14

. Yeah , and Lisa has a very unique

3:16

story because she

3:19

has a different trail

3:21

, like her . Your main

3:23

area of employment , career

3:25

path yeah , Shifting , shifted

3:28

, big shift .

3:31

Let me let me tell you a story , guys . So , in

3:33

I work in the education sector

3:36

, I work with children with special

3:38

needs , so behavioral autistic , and

3:40

I did that for 12 years . In

3:42

2019 , I'm going to take

3:44

you back to September of 2019

3:47

. Because that's where it all started I went into work

3:49

and something felt off

3:51

and I was sensing

3:53

that and every day I was getting up and I was just like

3:56

don't want to be here , just not

3:58

. And I felt off and I remember going to speak

4:00

to my principal and just telling her how I was

4:02

feeling . She's you know , lisa , if you really

4:04

need to take time off , do

4:07

that . Right . But I was so

4:09

caught up in the these children

4:11

need me , what

4:13

are they going to do without me ? That

4:16

I kept going to work with that

4:18

same feeling and that that year I was

4:20

supposed to go on a missions trip to Haiti

4:22

. That was . I was doing that for like the past two years

4:24

. So I taken two weeks off

4:27

without pay because this trip

4:29

meant so much to me , and the trip was canceled

4:31

because of all the crazy things that were

4:33

happening in Haiti and

4:35

I decided that

4:39

I would go to work instead

4:41

of staying home , right . And

4:43

so when I look back now , I look on

4:45

the date that I got injured and so a door was

4:47

slammed into my back . I

4:50

got injured , yeah , but the day

4:52

that that happened it was

4:54

November , the 29th 2019

4:57

. And I remember the date because I

4:59

was supposed to be returning from Haiti on that day . So

5:03

I got injured and I was out like I

5:06

didn't even understand what was

5:08

happening . I think , in the height of everything , it was like

5:10

you know , when you're , you're um , what they

5:12

call it fight or flight , and so I was like you know

5:14

, I was moving . I was like , yeah , but the minute I sat

5:16

down the pain took over

5:18

my body and it was like I couldn't move

5:21

and I was

5:23

like , okay , I'm leaving , like I'm going , and I went

5:25

to the doctor and it was . It was hard

5:28

because I

5:30

like to tell people now I'm a recovering workaholic

5:32

recovering workaholic right

5:36

, like because I wouldn't stop , I just kept

5:38

going right .

5:39

It was my life , that's who I was .

5:41

If you asked me who I was in

5:43

2019 , I would have said , oh , I'm

5:45

a special needs assistant , but you also

5:47

have a heart .

5:48

Yeah , you have a heart for your children and what

5:50

you were doing , those children and what you were doing , I did , I

5:53

did that's special .

5:54

Yeah , I absolutely

5:56

loved working with them and I loved

5:58

being there , but when I

6:00

got injured , it was , um , I want

6:03

to say it was a wake up call , but

6:05

I didn't get that . Oh

6:07

, I didn't it wasn't , it wasn't

6:09

that yet it wasn't that yet , because

6:11

so I couldn't physically

6:14

go to work and I had to go to physio

6:16

and there was a bunch of , like

6:18

emotional trauma and mental

6:20

trauma and stress and things that I was

6:22

going through , and so I had to

6:24

go into counseling . I had to . Yeah

6:27

, yeah , I never

6:29

thought that I

6:31

could feel a certain

6:34

way towards a child , oh

6:36

and and like

6:39

, just thinking about it like hurts

6:41

me , because I was like they

6:43

, they did it on purpose , like , and

6:45

so I was feeling like , well , they need

6:47

to get in trouble . That didn't happen

6:50

, of course , you know education , yeah

6:52

, um , but I had to work through that

6:54

, right , right , and it was like being

6:56

a Christian was the next thing too

6:59

, right Cause , I was like I shouldn't be feeling this , I

7:01

shouldn't be feeling this , and so I

7:03

was trying to stuff those emotions

7:06

, but they were real , yeah , they were real , and

7:08

so I had to walk through that process of

7:10

. This is how I was feeling at the time . This is

7:12

an emotion that had to leave my body , um

7:15

, but I was holding onto it for so long , and then just

7:17

go seeing a counselor and

7:20

talking through it and then understanding

7:22

, um , and then just asking

7:25

God to forgive me , but

7:28

also to forgive the student . Okay

7:30

, right , because now I'm not only thinking

7:32

about myself and I'm injured and I can't move and I

7:35

can't work and all this loss that I've

7:37

suffered , but I'm like they're

7:39

going to have to live with that for the rest of

7:41

their life , right ? I'll be

7:43

okay , but they're going to have to live

7:45

with that , right . And so

7:47

I finally got to a place where I was like , okay

7:50

, I forgive them

7:52

and I could go to them and I could be with them

7:54

and not feel fear of

7:56

something else happening to me , because that was

7:58

something that you know that's another emotion . Another

8:00

emotion , yeah , fear , because I'm like , oh

8:02

, what if Right , this could happen

8:04

again . But you

8:06

know , thank God it didn't Right , and

8:08

so that brought me to

8:11

, so it was off work for a while , but

8:13

in that , in that time , I

8:16

was like , if I can't do this

8:18

job , what can I do ? Okay

8:20

, so hold on .

8:20

So hold on

8:23

, yeah , because so

8:25

you're on the job . You got injured

8:27

, a job that you love . Yes , you're passionate

8:29

about , passionate about yes , and in that

8:31

same and this is life , this is the thing

8:34

that happens in life , right , the

8:36

unexpected happens , yeah

8:39

, and even

8:41

for you , you were saying like something didn't

8:43

feel right ahead of time . This is where

8:46

we got to learn to listen to our

8:48

intuition , our spirit , our

8:50

God's talking to us , you know

8:52

. However you want to state

8:54

it , the fact of the matter is , when something

8:57

doesn't feel right , sometimes we got to sit with

8:59

that for a moment and be like you know , the

9:03

funny thing is about , in that time

9:05

I had a what

9:08

are they called ?

9:10

A youth worker Right and

9:12

he came to me and he said , you know

9:14

, I was talking to him about how he was feeling Like I just I

9:16

have like these children , they just they're just getting mad

9:19

, like I'm just mad all the time , like and

9:21

he's like I think you're suffering from compassion

9:23

fatigue . Oh , and I was like whatever

9:26

. Anyways , moving right to Lush and fatigue

9:28

, I

9:31

didn't know it was a thing , I

9:34

didn't know what it was Honestly , I was just like I

9:37

had to look it up because I was like I've never even heard

9:39

of this . But it was basically how it's

9:41

feeling . Like I was tired of everything

9:44

that was happening , like to the point

9:47

where you know we're compassionate people and

9:49

then we just get tired because nothing is changing

9:51

, Everything is the same and it just keeps happening

9:53

. And I was like , oh so

9:55

I even missed that sign , I missed , right

9:57

. Like maybe it's time to take a break . And

10:00

he said the same thing to me , Like maybe you know you

10:02

need to take some time off . And , like I said

10:04

, my brain was like no , I got to work . Like

10:06

I got to , I got to do this Like I got to work , um

10:08

, so yeah , so then it

10:10

was like January 2020 now and

10:13

I'm off work and I'm like , okay , what can I do ? And

10:15

, um , the previous year I'd

10:17

gotten lash extensions .

10:19

So hold on . So because

10:22

of that , did you make the decision not to

10:24

go back into the field , or was it because you didn't

10:26

go back Because of , like , the

10:28

injury and how , the effects of

10:30

the injury ? No , I , I'm stubborn

10:33

.

10:33

Okay , yeah

10:35

, just a little bit . No

10:39

, um , so I couldn't go back to work

10:41

for a little bit . Okay , so I was off from

10:43

November , december , january , february

10:46

. I went back in March . Okay , went back in

10:48

March . Okay , um , and

10:50

a little apprehensive about going back

10:52

, but I was like okay , no , I got to try this , let me do

10:54

this , and I , so I went back in March and

10:56

, of course , 2020 .

10:57

Yes , okay , right .

10:59

COVID . Covid happened , right . So

11:01

I went to work for like a week . It

11:03

was March break and in the same movements

11:06

I was like , lord , I'm not ready , like I'm

11:08

just not ready to go back . And then I got home

11:11

the Friday and then on the news it said

11:13

March break extended , right

11:15

, extended until the end of . And I was like

11:17

, yes , thank you , thank you . I

11:20

was so , I was so happy because

11:22

I was like I knew , like in my heart of

11:24

hearts , that I wasn't ready to go back , right , and

11:26

so to hear that , I was like , yes , I get a couple

11:28

of weeks to like , just settle

11:30

back into how things used to be

11:32

. Right . And , of course , we

11:35

were off until you

11:37

know , everything was happening online . You

11:39

know , like some still you know , happening online

11:41

. And September of 2020

11:43

, I went back out to work . Okay

11:45

, different school , because I was like I

11:48

don't want to be there anymore . Right , I put in a

11:50

request . They put me in a new school . Okay

11:52

, that was a decision

11:54

that I should dump , but anyways , that

11:57

was worse . That was worse .

11:59

Okay , so hold on . That was worse , but then

12:01

something happened . Let's because

12:04

I want to hear you because you're ready to tell me

12:06

about this transfer like this transition .

12:08

The transition happened in March

12:11

, where I was like , okay , I'm going to go , I'm going

12:13

to do lash extensions .

12:14

I'm going to take the course , so hold on , I'm going to do lash

12:16

extensions . How come lash extensions ?

12:18

I was getting so for my anniversary in 2019

12:20

, we were going away and I thought

12:22

, okay , let me do lash extensions .

12:24

I wanted my . You know , I don't .

12:26

I don't . I'm not a makeup person , you know , so

12:28

I was like let my eyes look a little good . You know , sometimes

12:30

we got to look spruce right . So

12:32

I was doing it and I was talking to the

12:34

last technician about you know , oh , you know

12:36

, how did you get into this and what it ? You know what's

12:38

it like , Does it pay ? And blah , blah , blah , and

12:41

I was like I could do this

12:43

. Yeah , I could do this , and so that

12:45

was the thing . So while I was home off

12:47

work , I was busy

12:49

trying to find a school to attend , to do this

12:51

.

12:52

So you , you , you had hit . That's

12:55

another thing . See , life has another way of

12:57

moving

12:59

you Mm , hmm , and

13:01

even though you're resistant , it will still move

13:03

you . Because of that you like

13:05

you weren't . This is not a passion that you

13:08

had , no , this was just

13:10

you falling into something because you were already

13:12

seeking .

13:12

You were , you were seeking an escape , yeah

13:15

, from what you were doing yeah , and I didn't

13:17

even , I didn't even realize it , yeah , I didn't

13:19

even realize it . Yeah , and so

13:21

September . So

13:23

what happened then ? So , yeah , took the course

13:25

and I was like ready to start my , my business

13:28

, and I'm an entrepreneur . You

13:30

know , right , feeling really good , and then you know

13:32

COVID . And then everything shut down . It was like

13:34

okay , so now I'm not doing it . But

13:36

what happened in that

13:38

time was in September

13:41

of 2021 , we go back out

13:43

to work . Now I'm at this new school . I'm struggling

13:45

in this new school because it's COVID . It's a new school

13:47

, new teachers , everything's new for me , right

13:50

, and I'm still having , I'm

13:52

still dealing with the fear of

13:55

being injured . And then I'm dealing with one

13:57

student that is continuously

14:00

slamming doors and it's continuously

14:02

like irksing me , like it's continuously

14:04

like bringing back these traumas .

14:06

Yes .

14:07

And so one day I literally had to like leave

14:09

work , like I'm like , okay , I got to go . I can't stay

14:12

here , right , that's enough . But

14:14

you think that would stop me ? Uh-uh

14:16

, nope , I can . I got up the next

14:18

day still feeling like you know , I don't want to

14:20

go to work today . And

14:23

I went to work and I continued

14:25

to go to work and then it was October . So

14:27

it was October , I'm at work , I'm having

14:29

lunch , I'm excited because it's my anniversary

14:32

again , right ? So in now , a year , like , it's my

14:34

anniversary again . We've made plans , I've we're

14:36

going away for a couple of days . I'm excited

14:39

, I'm at work , I'm having lunch and

14:41

I feel sick and

14:44

I'm like , oh my God , this feeling . And

14:46

so I go . I'm like , okay , you know what , I have to leave

14:48

. I go home , I'm curdled in a

14:50

fetal position because I'm in so much pain

14:52

, right . And I'm like

14:54

I know this feeling and it's happened before

14:57

. And the last time it happened , I was

14:59

in the hospital for three weeks and

15:02

I was like , oh my gosh . And

15:04

so I'm at home and I'm

15:06

like I can't pass out now , because what

15:08

was happening was every time I felt like I

15:10

was going to throw up . I was another trauma

15:13

experience that I had throwing

15:15

up I would

15:17

pass out and end up in the hospital . Oh

15:20

, and so

15:22

this time I'm home now and my children

15:24

are home Okay , thank God , somebody's home

15:26

. And so now I'm like I can't , I can't pass

15:29

out because I don't want them to experience that

15:31

trauma . So I literally

15:33

had to throw up and so I started

15:35

throwing up and then I knew , like

15:37

I knew , I waited for my husband to come home and I said

15:39

, babes , you got to take me to a merge . I

15:43

knew what it was . So

15:45

it was another blockage and I was in the hospital

15:47

and that continued

15:49

to happen , in and out of the hospital , four

15:52

times in a year with blockages

15:54

.

15:55

So what are blockages ?

15:56

So bowel like bowel

15:58

and test like serious like

16:01

, okay , we're keeping you in , okay , we may

16:03

have to do surgery , and I'm thinking , lord , please

16:05

, no more surgeries Like I'm

16:07

done . I just didn't want any more

16:10

. I've had so many and I'm just like I

16:12

don't want any more , and so , by the grace of God

16:14

, no , I didn't have surgery . But , I was in

16:16

the hospital at least between five

16:18

and seven days each time , oh , each

16:21

time . So , my business that I started that , you

16:23

know , I was like , yeah , I'm going to do this . That

16:26

was put on hold , and so there was a time

16:29

when I started to feel better and I was like

16:31

, oh , you know what , I'm going to do something else , because

16:33

now I'm so sick that I can't really

16:35

sit to do lash extensions , right

16:38

, and I started to do lash lifts , right , and that's just

16:40

basically lifting your lashes , your natural

16:42

lashes , working with natural lashes Right . So

16:45

it looks like they're extensions

16:48

, but they're not . And so I started doing that because I

16:50

was like , hey , this is something else

16:52

that I can do . And then I was

16:54

like , hmm , I've always wanted to do

16:56

nails . Right From when

16:58

I was younger , I was like I've always wanted to do nails .

17:00

I'm like .

17:01

I'm going to do nails , I'm going to go in . So they had

17:03

a manicure and pedicure and I thought , oh , I just become

17:05

an esthetician , right , I do waxing and just

17:07

do all the stuff fissials and whatever . I

17:09

don't have any eye . That happened

17:12

to me too , don't worry yeah . I

17:15

don't know if it's as you're aging , everything just decides

17:17

it doesn't want to work , but

17:21

anyway . So I got

17:23

into manicures and pedicures and while I

17:25

was doing that I was like , yeah

17:27

, I'm never going to offer pedicures .

17:31

But anyways , that's another story . Did

17:33

you officially leave the school at this point ? No

17:35

, okay , no .

17:38

So in and out of the hospital . At that point I'm

17:40

now . This is , I think the dates

17:42

are all like smushed together . So

17:44

I don't remember dates , but I remember like I

17:47

was doing online work because

17:49

I didn't want to stop working . I did not want

17:51

to stop working . My doctor kept saying I think

17:53

you need to take time off , and I said no , I'm

17:55

good , I can work from home , and

17:59

so that's what I did . One thing about me is listen . You told

18:01

me I need to relax . Different

18:05

now , different now . But

18:07

then it was all about the . I got to go

18:10

. I got to do this . I got to do this .

18:12

And so it's part of you . How you were , how I was , yeah

18:14

, you felt purpose , you felt good

18:16

doing .

18:17

And so I think it was during the break

18:19

, and it was in April at that year , and

18:22

I was going for a walk and my

18:25

body just felt so relaxed , so

18:28

relaxed , and I was like , oh my goodness , I

18:30

haven't felt this in so long . And

18:32

then I went back to work right after the break

18:34

and my body started feeling tense again

18:36

and whatever , and

18:38

so I was like , all right , lisa , it's

18:41

time . So , I called my doctor

18:43

and I said I need to take time off

18:45

. I need to heal . Like I'm not , I'm trying

18:47

to do all this stuff , I'm not healing

18:49

, and then being

18:51

sick and out of the

18:53

hospital . That was something

18:59

else . Honestly , it was traumatic

19:01

. But at the same time

19:04

, I'm so thankful to God

19:06

for going through what I

19:08

went through , because it

19:11

got me to pause , even

19:13

when I didn't want to , and to

19:15

look at who I was right

19:19

and who I thought I was , and

19:22

to really focus on who God said

19:24

that I was , which was the most important

19:26

thing right . What I was believing about myself was

19:28

not what he was saying about me right

19:31

, and so I'm going to do that . And

19:33

so many things happened Like I .

19:36

I got a counselor , I started therapy

19:39

Hold on , hold

19:41

on , because there's

19:44

a few different things that's happening here , right

19:46

, and

19:50

it's like Lisa's on the go , right

19:53

, but at the same time , life is still happening

19:55

to her in a way where , like

19:58

I said , I'll take the break . If the doctor told

20:00

me to take the break , I would probably , especially if my job

20:02

bothers me . Uh-uh , right , but

20:07

at the same time you

20:09

were like , no , I am of service

20:11

, right , that's one thing , but

20:14

your body starts to tell you things

20:17

, and sometimes we're talking about aging

20:19

, because my eyes started running just now and

20:21

I was like what's going on

20:23

? Actually , it's still running . I don't know what's that ring

20:25

. I don't know if my hand's carrying on , but at

20:27

the same time , it's like you're saying your

20:30

body started to tell you things and

20:34

you're feeling it , you're having a , something in

20:36

your mind is also recognizing it , but

20:38

at the same time , there's another overpowering

20:41

thought that says no , you got to keep going

20:43

. Then

20:46

life hits and it actually slows you down and

20:49

a lot of the times , we're not paying attention

20:52

to our bodies and

20:55

the one thing I want to say is that I hope

20:57

especially for women , who are

20:59

any woman , I don't care

21:01

what age range you're in it's

21:03

important for us to listen to our

21:05

internal system and

21:08

pay attention to our thoughts when

21:11

people are speaking to us . Sometimes

21:14

we're out there thinking , okay , someone's

21:16

talking to you or they're telling you this because it's

21:20

not in your best interest . There's a lot of that messaging

21:22

that's out there , right ? Oh

21:25

, people are haters , yada , yada . No

21:27

, sometimes there are people that are speaking

21:29

to you because they're looking out for you and

21:31

we have to use discernment to recognize

21:33

what is what

21:36

. What is what ? Yeah , right , but I am

21:38

happy that through your processing

21:40

, you're trying new things , and that's the

21:42

point that I was gonna say is because I do speak

21:45

to a lot of people who are

21:47

in the process of you

21:49

know , children are growing up . Yeah , they're

21:52

different , their life's different . It's not about them

21:54

as much anymore , because they're like I don't really

21:56

need your help . You know , I know

21:58

, so I guess you now have to get in the position

22:01

of how do I care for myself

22:03

in these next next ? This

22:05

next stage of life , right , yeah ? So

22:08

, with that said , I like that you

22:10

started to Explore new

22:13

things . I'll say to you

22:15

out there , if you're a person who's resistant

22:17

, this is the time for you to stop

22:19

being resistant , especially if you're

22:21

unhappy , especially if your body's

22:23

telling you something . Sometimes we're

22:26

too busy thinking oh well , my job

22:28

, my job security , yada , yada yada

22:30

. Nobody's saying give up your job right away

22:32

.

22:32

Take the break . If take the break , if

22:35

you need to take the break , right , listen . We

22:38

need to learn to listen to . You're right , we need to

22:40

learn to listen to our bodies more , because we don't do

22:42

it enough , right , as women , we don't

22:44

clue in to what our bodies

22:46

are saying to us . And I missed

22:48

it . Yeah right , I , I didn't

22:50

miss it , I ignored it , I ignored it

22:52

and I kept ignoring it and I kept ignoring

22:54

it . And all those visits

22:56

to the hospital , I was

22:59

stressed and fear and

23:01

just thinking negatively .

23:03

So when I say I got into counseling

23:05

, I got into counseling

23:07

like Hold on , because that word I

23:10

was saying what I was saying , but then I'm thankful for

23:13

bringing us back to that word because , as

23:15

a , you're a christian woman , right

23:17

? And I

23:20

remember being younger and listening to

23:22

some of the elders in the church . They make it seem

23:24

like counting about it . Yeah

23:26

, pray and talk to God and , you

23:29

know , have the elders pray for you , and that's

23:31

not saying that anything's wrong with that

23:33

. However , there's

23:35

something about discussion , having

23:39

discussions that will deliver Outcomes

23:42

, and insights .

23:43

Yeah , when you're dealing with trauma

23:45

. And yes , prayer works , don't

23:47

get me wrong prayer works . And

23:50

let me tell you my counselor was a christian . I prayed

23:52

. I prayed , I said , lord , I don't

23:54

need to see anyone that's not a believer . I

23:56

need to see someone that's a believer because , um

23:59

, this is important to me . And he guided

24:01

me through a friend to

24:03

see this particular counselor

24:06

and she Worked with

24:08

me to overcome

24:10

. I also got a coach at the same time

24:12

. Oh wow , I was , I was like I

24:14

was like this is my time

24:16

to um really discover

24:19

who I am . Mm-hmm

24:21

and I'm I'll be 52

24:24

next month , yeah Right

24:31

, but it was . It was time to Finally

24:34

discover who I was

24:36

and to know that I am God's

24:38

child and he is

24:40

with me and he is for me and

24:43

there's nothing that I can do that

24:45

he won't Like

24:47

. He'll love me less . He won't love me any less

24:49

because of right he loves me because

24:52

, right , and so it

24:54

was just um , through

24:56

counseling , working through this negative

24:59

mindset , right , like didn't realize

25:01

just how negative my thoughts were . But

25:04

you know , praise god that you know , I'm , I'm

25:06

learning what it means to

25:08

have a renewed mind , right

25:11

? A lot of us we don't like

25:13

. We're like , yeah , okay , we know the scripture says renew

25:15

your mind , right , like . But we don't understand

25:18

, yeah , that it takes work

25:20

, work . It takes work

25:22

, especially when those thoughts are flooding

25:24

and you're just like You're bombarded

25:27

and you're like , oh my goodness , but oh my goodness

25:29

, like just spending like

25:31

this time off . Yeah it's glorious

25:34

.

25:34

Yeah , it's glorious like it's just All

25:37

right .

25:37

I get this time to be with

25:39

the lord . I get this time to talk

25:41

to people . I get this time to put myself

25:43

out there . I get this time to spend time

25:46

with my husband . I get this time to be with my children

25:48

and to see just the connections

25:50

that I have and how important they are Right

25:53

, whereas before it was , like you know , when

25:55

you say your priorities right , my number

25:57

one priority . Even though I had a family and I had a

25:59

husband , they weren't my number one priority

26:02

. Work was my number one priority

26:04

.

26:04

Hold on , hold on , hold on . I

26:06

have to reset the um . The

26:10

love was the work .

26:12

Yeah , like I like it was like work

26:14

and god , then my family

26:17

, okay , and so being

26:19

Not having a

26:21

job , not working , not be

26:23

able to like literally , when I say I

26:26

was stripped from my

26:28

job , my body fell

26:31

apart , right . And

26:33

then Mentally I was like I

26:36

don't even a basket case . Emotionally

26:38

I was like a basket . Spiritual . I was going through

26:40

some spiritual , like spiritual things were happening

26:43

, um , but

26:45

I got to reorganize myself , right

26:47

.

26:47

Okay .

26:48

I got to go Okay , what's

26:50

important , right , and this is

26:52

this is when it it finally hit me that If

26:55

I don't have my health , if

26:58

I don't take care of me , yeah , I can't

27:00

really take care of my family , right

27:02

, and they're the next thing to me , and

27:05

so forget the . It was

27:07

then that I started to see that these

27:09

kids , they don't need me . They

27:13

don't need me . They have a family

27:16

. Yeah , at the end of the day , they go home to their family

27:18

and they're fine . And I'm like struggling and

27:20

my family's seeing me go through this

27:22

, worried about me , and and

27:24

you know what I mean . And so it was just like no

27:27

, lisa , you can't right . And so it was just

27:29

working through that whole like , instead

27:31

of putting work first , now I , god

27:34

, my family , everything else

27:36

afterwards and then

27:38

and then career changes in

27:40

between or no career exploration

27:43

in between , because the lashes

27:45

came , but yeah , you know yeah , and then

27:47

you went to nails , yes and so

27:50

. So there was a time when I was I was going . I

27:52

wasn't fully 100% , but I

27:54

was like I'm gonna take some classes because I I'm

27:57

a doer and

27:59

sometimes that's not good , especially

28:01

when the Lord is saying just sit and be with me , right ? Like

28:04

you're too big . I'm like , okay , what else could I do ? What

28:06

else could I do ? And

28:09

so I was like , okay , I'm gonna take some classes

28:11

. And I took the

28:13

skincare , I took waxing

28:15

, I took manicure and pedicure . And

28:18

I was like , okay , I'm gonna offer these services . And then , as I

28:20

was getting into it , I was like , yeah , I don't want to do facials

28:22

like I just I can't , it's

28:25

too much . And then the waxing I was just like , yeah

28:27

, that's too much . And then I was like , yeah , I'll do hands

28:29

, like , right , I want to work with natural hands , no

28:32

fake stuff , let's just do the natural

28:34

, natural lashes , natural hands . I

28:37

had said during the course that I refused

28:39

to offer Pedicures

28:42

. Oh , I don't like

28:44

the feet . I

28:46

know right , like it was like yeah

28:48

, no , no , thank

28:51

you , yeah . And so , as

28:53

I was doing it , there

28:56

was just like a switch , like it was like oh , Okay

28:59

, I kind of like this

29:01

hold on ?

29:03

Do you mean like as you were it

29:05

entrepreneur , doing it as a service

29:08

? Mm-hmm , so you were doing it . Once

29:10

was was it that some clients were like , well

29:12

, please , can you do my feed ? That made you offer

29:14

it , or was it like so I started to say I'm

29:16

gonna do it .

29:17

And then so they're like Okay , I had a client

29:19

. I was like okay , you're doing my hands , okay , now you

29:21

can do my feet and I was like Okay

29:24

, reluctantly , like okay , like that's fine

29:26

, yeah , but I started to do it and it was just

29:28

like man , I

29:31

actually like this . I

29:33

it's not so bad , like it was

29:35

just . I just find that with feet

29:37

and people don't realize that they're more

29:39

relaxed with their feet , their hands , they're like

29:41

they're stiff , they're like you know , oh yeah

29:44

yeah , yeah , they're true .

29:45

When you do , when you get your hands done , you're a little

29:47

like apprehensive right , because ?

29:49

you're like worried about oh , what are they gonna do ? So

29:51

you're like you hold your hand stiff and you know

29:53

, but with the feet , people are

29:55

just like they're just relaxed , like

29:57

they're just relaxed and I'm working on the feet

30:00

and I'm doing my thing and and

30:02

so doing that and Still

30:05

healing at the time right , still walking through

30:07

my my issues Food

30:10

issues there was a time when I know

30:12

I'm all over the place , but there was a time when I was on fluids

30:14

for six months . Oh , for

30:16

those of you that are following me on Instagram

30:18

30:23

I've never posted a picture of what I look like

30:25

then . Oh , never . That was

30:27

the very first time I posted a picture . I would post

30:29

my face , because I'm okay with that

30:31

, right , but I never posted full

30:34

body . And so even when I got

30:36

to do that post Then and now , it

30:39

was like last week , right , like when

30:42

I went . When I looked at the

30:44

photo , I thought , oh my god you

30:46

30:47

I'm going to insert the photo . Yeah , that's fine

30:49

.

30:49

Yeah , like then and now yeah

30:51

, I was like I look , I was wearing my children's

30:54

clothing . Oh , I was wearing

30:56

. But I was like , oh , I'm skinny now Because that

30:58

was like . I was like I'm skinny now , right . Right , but I

31:00

was not recognizing I was

31:02

so unhealthy , so unhealthy

31:04

, right . And so I

31:07

remember 2023 came

31:09

around and I was offering pedicures

31:12

and I had , like you know , one or two clients because I was

31:14

still not well , I was still struggling

31:16

with foods and everything . Right

31:18

, right and um , okay

31:21

, I hold on .

31:22

What am I following you on another account ? How

31:26

are we talking all the time but it says I'm not

31:28

following you . Oh , this is my other page .

31:31

Okay , good Okay good .

31:32

So I was like hold on , I didn't get the phone , you were following

31:34

each other , okay .

31:35

We're having conversations . It's real , it's happening

31:37

. It's not in our head . It's not in our

31:41

head . What's going on ?

31:42

here . I had to go look at the photo

31:44

because I follow these . I'm like I didn't

31:46

come up on my timeline . That's another thing

31:48

about when you follow people , you're going to look out

31:51

when you don't see their posts .

31:52

but thank you for sharing that , so there was . I

31:54

see the difference that you're showing

31:56

so at that point you felt good

31:58

.

31:58

You were like , okay , I'm okay .

32:00

No , I only , I only said , I was okay because

32:02

I was skinny . Right , there's that

32:04

other thing too that women feel

32:07

like they have to be this size to be accepted

32:09

into this world , and blah , blah , blah

32:11

, blah , blah blah right . But

32:14

I wasn't healthy , right , okay

32:16

, right , so there's skinny and healthy

32:18

and they're skinny and unhealthy . I was unhealthy

32:20

, okay , even though I

32:22

liked somewhat the appearance of

32:24

being skinny , I wasn't healthy , okay

32:26

, and so that's not sustainable , right

32:29

so ? But then I

32:31

looked at my 2023 picture and

32:33

I looked at my face specifically

32:36

and I thought that's healthy and

32:39

I was like what , what did I do ? What was what

32:41

was different about that ? And that was just

32:43

like the journey into becoming fully

32:46

me . That was the

32:48

, the whole health journey , the journey

32:51

with the Lord , just everything

32:53

, just like coming together and going

32:55

okay , that was me looking back now

32:57

at like 2019 and 2020

33:00

and going , oh Lord , I see

33:02

, I see what you were trying to do . Then

33:04

you wanted me to stop into

33:06

2023 . January . I

33:09

took a six month hiatus , okay

33:11

, because he was like I need you to stop

33:13

. And I was like , but but what am I going

33:16

?

33:16

to do .

33:18

What am I going to do ? Right , and he's like

33:20

I just want you to be with me

33:22

.

33:23

Okay . So when he said

33:25

just be with me , it

33:27

seems like it's another transition , because when

33:30

God tells you to stop , that

33:33

stuff will bring you some wonderful

33:36

things , yeah Right

33:39

, but the

33:41

thing is we have to listen , we have to listen and we have to

33:43

stop . Yeah .

33:44

And that was I was at that point . I was like

33:46

I'm not going to be

33:48

disobedient anymore . Okay , I'm going

33:50

to listen , and so I sent

33:52

out an email to my clients and I said

33:54

for the next six months I won't

33:56

be offering any services .

33:58

So , if you want , to come in now .

33:59

Now is the time and I shut down for

34:01

six months and in those six months it was so

34:06

amazing yeah , it was , it

34:08

was good . I got to be with

34:10

, like spend time in

34:12

his presence , reading his word and

34:15

really like focusing on the counseling

34:17

I was getting , the coaching I was getting , focusing

34:20

on my walk with the Lord , focusing on my family

34:22

, focusing on my children . I got the

34:24

time to do that Right and , although

34:26

it was hard , because it wasn't easy , I can

34:28

yeah , because I'm how

34:30

you are . Yeah , I'm used to like it was

34:33

like all right . So what do I do now ? Like and he's just

34:35

like just sit and just enjoy the

34:37

time , Right , because you're not going to

34:39

get it back , yeah , right . And so , to

34:41

fully become who you are , you've

34:44

got to get past this trauma . Tell

34:46

them you've got to . To fully

34:48

become who you are , you have to get past

34:51

the trauma , you have to get past

34:53

your hang ups and your hurts , and

34:55

you have to get past the negative mindset . Right

34:57

, because for me to

34:59

walk into who he's called me to be

35:01

, that has to fall away

35:03

, and so that was that time

35:05

. That was that time Right

35:07

, and so it was like okay , now

35:09

my mind is working a little better , my

35:11

emotions are working a little better , right

35:13

, yeah , my body is starting to heal

35:16

, right , right , and

35:18

not realizing that a lot

35:21

of what was happening up here was

35:23

affecting this , okay

35:25

, okay , so like

35:28

when we live in fear it

35:30

, affects the body

35:33

, yeah Right . Right , and so it was

35:35

like it's

35:37

either fear or love . You can't do

35:39

both . So which one was

35:41

dominating my life ? Fear , right

35:44

, it was dominating my life . I honestly

35:47

, I was dominating my life

35:50

, if I go into like , when

35:52

I started seeing different , because the

35:55

time that I was sick that year , I was seeing so

35:57

many different specialists because they were all trying to

35:59

figure out what was wrong , right , and you want to know the funny

36:01

thing Every test came

36:03

back Fine

36:05

, like

36:09

there was one test where they're like we're going to test you for Crohn's

36:12

. And then they're like oh , it looks like you have the markers for

36:14

Crohn's . And then they would test me again and they're

36:16

like Nope , you don't have the markers for Crohn's . Oh

36:20

, let's test you for this . Nope , you don't have that . Let's test

36:22

you for this . Nope , you don't have that , let's test you

36:24

.

36:24

That was very overwhelming

36:26

in itself . I was like I

36:28

need an answer .

36:30

I was like I was mad , yeah , but I

36:32

wasn't seeing that Todd was showing

36:34

me .

36:38

It's right .

36:39

He was literally showing me that you're

36:42

fine . You just got to believe

36:44

it . Right

36:46

, I wasn't believing . I believe like literally

36:49

, when I sit back and think I'm like I

36:51

believe something was wrong , yeah , and so

36:53

all those tests like they had like

36:55

you need to find something , and I would go back to

36:57

the doctor and be like you need to find what's wrong

36:59

. Because something's wrong , like you need to figure out what

37:02

it is Right . Right , because I was like , yeah

37:04

, I believed it . And so even

37:06

in that , with the fear , when

37:08

they said to me , okay , we want

37:10

you to just write down whatever

37:13

trigger foods that you have , it

37:18

became an obsession . It

37:20

was an obsession .

37:21

So your journaling was intense and

37:23

I love journaling .

37:24

But this book that I had I

37:26

had about three or four of these little books

37:29

of what I ate , what came in , what went

37:31

out , everything .

37:32

Mm , hmm .

37:33

If it wasn't written on the paper , it

37:35

didn't go in my mouth . Okay , it

37:37

was bad . One day I was sitting looking outside

37:39

and I was like I had my journalist sitting

37:41

there and looking

37:44

outside and then the Lord just said you

37:46

got to stop . And I was like stop , what ? Like

37:48

I'm doing

37:50

everything , like I'm doing , I'm , I'm living , I'm

37:53

, I'm like enjoying my faith

37:55

is like being increased daily and and

37:57

he's like you're living in fear . And

38:00

I was like what

38:02

? And he's like look at what you're doing

38:04

. And I looked down , so hold on

38:06

.

38:07

So when you say you're , it was like you're

38:09

living in fear . What were you living in fear of ?

38:11

So remember I'd mentioned

38:13

before I've like I was in and out of

38:15

the hospital with all these blockages , and so

38:18

I would get out of the hospital and I would be on the soft

38:20

food diet and then , I would like graduate to

38:22

, like you know , full foods , but

38:24

it was the whole . Every time I was about

38:26

to put something in my mouth , there was that fear

38:29

of oh , it might happen again

38:31

. So that was the fear , and so me

38:33

writing it down was fear , but then

38:35

me putting it in my mouth was fear that something , and

38:37

so I stopped eating a lot of things

38:40

Because I was like , oh , it's hurting me , right

38:42

, so you stop eating it because it's hurting you .

38:44

Right .

38:45

You know , at this point now I'm becoming so attuned

38:47

with my body that whenever

38:50

I feel something , you know , I know

38:52

something's happening . So then I stopped eating and then

38:54

I would go back to fluids . So it was just

38:56

appeared where it was like first it was two weeks solids

38:58

, one week fluids , and then I graduated

39:00

to up until I was doing five weeks solids , one

39:03

week fluids right , but

39:05

that's when the Lord was like you have to stop , like

39:07

you can't keep living in fear

39:10

of something is going to happen . And

39:13

so it was that day the journal went

39:15

garbage . I got up , I threw

39:18

like literally all the ones that I was holding on to , I

39:20

threw out , I stopped recording

39:22

stuff . And then it was . He introduced

39:24

me to an Ayraveic

39:26

I don't know if that's how you say it , but she's a nutritionist

39:29

Okay , our va or something

39:31

nutritionist and through

39:33

her help I am where I

39:35

am today . Okay , like

39:37

I can say that all the foods

39:39

that were bothering me are no longer

39:42

bothering me . And she like , and I , like I was

39:44

seeing a naturopath , I was seeing a dietician

39:46

, like I was seeing all the doctors right

39:48

to get this got healthy . And

39:50

I had a conversation with her

39:52

and I just said to her I can't eat onions

39:54

, I can't eat garlic , I can't eat tomatoes , I

39:56

can't eat . And she goes your guts not healthy . And

40:00

I was like what do you mean ? Like I've been taking these supplements

40:02

, I've been doing this , I've been . She's like no , because

40:05

garlic , onions , tomatoes

40:07

, those are anti-inflammatories , those are good

40:09

, gut things , right . And

40:12

I was like oh so

40:14

more work to do right , more

40:16

healing to happen . But it's if

40:19

I had gone back out to work

40:21

, right . And

40:23

this was a time where I was like you know what ? I'm going

40:26

to listen to my doctor . So my doctor says I'm not ready , I'm not

40:28

ready , and that's just it . Even if I think

40:30

I'm ready , if she says I'm not ready , I'm not ready . This

40:32

is when I started to listen to my doctor , because

40:36

my doctor could tell you , she

40:38

could tell you , like she could say you know , lisa , I don't think

40:40

it's time to go back . And that's what she said the whole entire

40:42

time . I was sick , I would take a week off and

40:44

I'd go back out to work . I

40:47

would be in the hospital , I would come out of the hospital , I'd take

40:49

a week off and I'd go back out to work . Oh

40:52

gosh , I'd gotten for punishment .

40:53

But hold on . See , this

40:55

sounds like it should be in a book , so

40:58

it

41:01

sounds like there's parts

41:03

of this where it's there's a lot

41:05

happening . Yeah , health

41:07

, mental health . You

41:11

also are a person who is

41:13

very I

41:16

don't know not to say . Well , you're progressive

41:18

, yeah Right , so

41:21

that's why you're like they need me . Yeah

41:23

, I need to be there . If

41:25

I'm not there , who's going ?

41:27

to be there for them .

41:28

Listen , I don't care if there's another teacher there or a supply

41:31

, they're not going to handle these children when

41:33

you the way that I handle them . First of

41:35

all , she was like listen , those

41:37

are my children over there . Okay , I need to show

41:39

up for my children . Yeah , but

41:42

there's a lot of different things that

41:44

happen here on your journey

41:46

. Is there a book ? Because

41:50

I've seen , we talked and I want them to

41:52

know , and

41:54

it's especially because the faith

41:56

part of this journey

41:59

has allowed you to no

42:01

. Tell us where

42:03

we're going with this book .

42:06

So yeah , so in 2020 , I think

42:08

2022 , I

42:10

was starting to feel better , but

42:12

not fully better , and I started to do

42:15

some volunteer things , but

42:17

it was just . Every time I went out I would meet

42:19

someone , talk to someone . They would say to me you

42:21

know , you need to tell your story , you need to write

42:23

your story . And I was just like I'm

42:25

not there yet Like . I'm in it Like I don't

42:27

know how to tell it . I

42:29

don't know how to share it .

42:31

And .

42:32

I just kept hearing that and I kept the prompting

42:34

write your story . And I would say , yes

42:36

, Lord , yes , write your story . Yes

42:38

, yeah , Never did . Oh , gosh

42:41

, Never did . But , like towards

42:43

the end of that year , I got

42:45

a message from someone saying

42:48

hey , I would love for you to be a

42:50

part of my anthology , which is a

42:52

bunch of women writing a chapter in

42:55

a book . And so

42:57

I was like I started

42:59

laughing when I read it because I was like

43:01

Lord , you're joking , because I haven't started yet

43:03

. Like , right , I haven't

43:05

started , You're joking , Lord . And

43:08

I was praying about it and I talked to my husband about

43:10

it and he's like if you feel this is where

43:12

you know , if you think this is what the Lord's telling

43:14

you to do , then do it , and so I

43:17

co-authored in an anthology which was published

43:19

in 2023 . Ok

43:22

, congratulations , thank you , and

43:24

I forgot the book . I know , but

43:26

don't worry .

43:28

I'm going to read the book first

43:30

and then we're going to come back and talk

43:32

about your chapter within this book

43:35

. Yeah , yeah , yeah , I

43:38

love that opportunity in the first place . It's

43:40

like there

43:42

are downloads of people coming to you and

43:44

saying you got to tell your story . You got to tell your story

43:46

Because a lot of the times there's

43:49

other people like yourself in the

43:51

similar situation . And

43:54

if people aren't sharing , I mean it's not

43:56

to say you have to tell everybody your business , but

43:59

if we don't share , I

44:01

mean it could help somebody else down the path , cut

44:03

out their stress . Yeah

44:05

, our story Way in advance .

44:07

Our experiences . Our journey is

44:09

not for us Right , even

44:12

though we're experiencing it . We're experiencing

44:14

it so that we can share it with other people who

44:17

are going through , may have gone through or will be

44:19

going through the same things .

44:20

And so .

44:21

I'm just learning that , even though it's

44:23

taken me so long . Nothing

44:26

happens before it's time , right , nothing

44:28

happens before it's time , it's just us getting

44:30

together . Nothing happens before it's time

44:32

, and so I'm so

44:34

grateful that

44:36

you invited me . Yes , I

44:39

don't even know how we even got onto the topic of this podcast

44:41

, but I'm so glad that you invited me and

44:44

that we get this opportunity

44:46

to share with each other about

44:48

our lives and what's happening

44:50

. I know that , like there's a lot happening with

44:52

you , and I know this podcast is your podcast , but I know

44:54

that there's a lot . There's a lot

44:57

happening in your life , and I'm

44:59

so for it , like I love it

45:01

.

45:01

I love it .

45:02

Like you know , we realize that there

45:04

are people watching us . Right , people

45:06

are looking . They may not comment , they

45:08

may not say , but they're watching . And so me

45:10

watching you pivot and turn

45:13

, it was amazing , like I just

45:15

I love seeing it and I just love

45:17

hearing . When you come on and you are talking about

45:19

you know you're giving people advice

45:22

based off of what you've gone

45:24

through , yeah . Right . I

45:27

think that that's now that I'm learning to do

45:29

that . I think that that's so important . It's rewarding

45:31

.

45:31

It's rewarding . It is rewarding when you get

45:33

that feedback and also it's a release . Yeah

45:36

, you know what I mean , cause , like you said

45:38

, some things are oh , you fear . Well

45:40

, it's also shame . You're ashamed of something , but

45:42

sometimes you just listen for me to get over

45:44

. Let me just talk it out , cause at the end of

45:46

the day , I'm not the only one . Yeah , you

45:49

know , and then you find out there's other people like

45:51

oh , girl Right

45:53

, like oh , you experienced something . Yeah

45:55

, I appreciate you saying that

45:58

. Now I would like we're going to have you

46:00

back on and we're going to focus on your chapter

46:02

of the book , but can you tell what's the name of your chapter

46:04

within this book ? What's the name of the book ?

46:06

The book is called Empowered Transformations Real Stories

46:08

of Hope , and so I just want

46:10

to share that from that

46:12

. I am now a compiler of my

46:14

own anthology . And I think that's how we got

46:16

started , and

46:18

so I'm excited about what's next

46:21

. Right , right . I'm

46:23

excited about what the Lord is doing , not

46:25

just in my life , but the people that

46:28

I've connected with .

46:28

Right .

46:30

Like I just love to see him move and

46:32

I love to see people grow and

46:35

46:50

so , this podcast episode

46:52

and the

46:54

discussion and timing

46:57

and where we are and sharing

46:59

it goes back to a discussion

47:01

that I had with a lady two years

47:03

ago and she said to me I think you

47:05

should do a podcast . It

47:08

needs to be an interview style , like have

47:10

discussions with people . I

47:12

never met the lady in real life yet , you know , you know what

47:14

I need to bring her on the podcast .

47:16

Yes , you need to bring her . She needs to come on here . You got to bring

47:18

her . You have to bring her .

47:21

You know what ? I went

47:23

to the podcast summit , right I ?

47:25

saw that . I saw that on your feed .

47:27

Yes , and even after , when I went there

47:29

, I had a breakdown , what ? Oh

47:31

yeah , because I was like I don't know what the podcast is going to be about

47:33

. But you knew , but you knew . I

47:35

knew I was going to do it , but I didn't

47:38

know exactly how to because I was like , okay , you know , I am

47:40

an insurance and investment advisor , I'm

47:43

going to talk about money and I was trying

47:45

to include all of that , but that's not where my like

47:47

that's definitely a passion for Our

47:51

family are living in one part of our purpose

47:53

. But I'm very much a heartful person

47:55

, yeah , with a good story , and I like discussion

47:57

. Yeah , and I like to hear

47:59

things from people , right . Yeah , so

48:02

the gentleman there was someone there and they asked me

48:04

what is , what was your

48:06

reset ? And when he asked me that I

48:09

just broke down in tears and I was like oh

48:11

gosh , and then I

48:13

went back home , came back home and

48:15

then that's where it was , like rediscovering your

48:18

best self . So interesting

48:20

enough . Yeah , like

48:22

you said , not

48:24

in the time we expected

48:26

, but we got to start listening and just

48:28

making some small movements .

48:30

Yeah , small movements , yeah , for sure .

48:32

If we actually listen right away

48:35

, we'll actually be ahead . Yeah , but

48:37

that's okay . We don't listen . God knows

48:39

we're not going to listen either . He knows . So

48:41

we go our journey . Yeah , we

48:43

take our journey the way it goes , and I really

48:45

want to thank you for being here today , because

48:48

48:51

for me to know that

48:53

I can meet people online

48:55

48:57

. There's a community of people who want

49:00

to hear the story or need to hear the story

49:02
