This special edition of 52 Authors 52 Weeks™ was recorded LIVE on September 19, 2026, during Women Evolving: Igniting Growth, Healing, and Transformation™ (WEIGHT) in Chicago.

This week, the tables turn as Dr. Lisa L. Campbell®, The Growth Motivator®, steps into the author seat for a candid conversation with Jenna C. Bishop-Beall about her newest book, Shed The Weight™: Achieve Personal Growth by Shedding What No Longer Serves You.

What began as a book concept years ago became deeply personal as Dr. Lisa navigated career transitions, physical setbacks, changing identities, grief, and the realization that just because we CAN carry something does not mean we are supposed to.

During this live conversation, Dr. Lisa explores the Seven Types of Weight: Emotional, Mental, Historical, Comparative, Procrastination, Commitment, and Physical. She shares why comparison can quietly become one of the heaviest burdens women carry, how invisible weight can eventually lead to burnout, and why shedding the weight is ultimately about making room for peace, purpose, and growth.

The audience is also challenged to identify something they have outgrown and consider one powerful question:

What would become possible if you put down the weight you named?

And together, the room declares:

I choose me.
I choose growth.
I choose peace.
I let it go.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Shed The Weight™: Achieve Personal Growth by Shedding What No Longer Serves You challenges readers to recognize, honor, evaluate, and release the invisible weight that may be keeping them from moving forward.
