017 | Paris, Part Time with Lisa Baker Morgan
In 2008, Lisa Baker Morgan, a thirty-eight-year-old, newly divorced mother, unexpectedly found herself staring down death in a Monaco hospital, nine time zones away from her two young daughters in Los Angeles. After facing mortality and surviving, her life took on a sense of urgency to experience and accomplish all of the things she had ever wanted for herself and her daughters. Top of her list: a life-long desire to live in Paris. The seemingly indulgent and even "crazy" aspiration was part of a journey that set her on the path of recovery of health and of spirit.
In this Deep Chats episode, we get to hear about Lisa’s incredible journey and how it has shaped her life as a result. Beyond inspiring, and yet incredibly humble, this is a conversation that we know will touch you all.
In this episode we discussed:
- How to BE the future that you want.
- Letting go of what you think is supposed to happen.
- Life defies categorization.
- Impermanence and the lessons it teaches us.
- Choosing to dwell on negative versus finding the opportunity.
- Seeing the world through gratitude and presence.
