If you’re craving a December that feels lighter, sweeter, sillier, and a whole lot more magical… buckle up, buttercup. Because this month, we are going full Buddy the Elf — with Adorable Badass upgrades.

In my newest episode of the Be an Adorable Badass podcast, I’m talking all about how to tap into your inner child, your inner elf, and yes… your inner “I will absolutely eat pancakes for dinner and dare you to judge me” queen.

This month’s Have the Spirit of Elf calendar (you can download it here!) is a daily invitation to:
✨ be playful
✨ be authentic
✨ be mischievously kind
✨ create magic for yourself and others
✨ and laugh like the world isn’t watching

Because joy isn’t childish — it’s powerful.

 Play isn’t frivolous — it’s transformational.

 And a woman who knows how to laugh, dance, and delight?

 She’s unstoppable.

After a little hiatus, Be an Adorable Badass is back — and this episode is all about giving yourself permission to do life your way.

In this heartfelt return, Lisa shares why it’s perfectly okay to step away, pause, or color outside the lines — because joy and growth don’t always follow the rules. She reflects on the recent Camp Atta Girl! weekend, the women who showed up with courage and open hearts, and the ripple of kindness they created that continues to spread far beyond the retreat.

You’ll also meet Trisha Higgins, a Camp Atta Girl! alum whose experience inspired her to launch Cards of Kindness — a simple yet powerful movement to bring more love and light into the world, one handwritten note at a time.

This episode is a reminder that sometimes the most “adorable badass” thing you can do is trust your rhythm, follow your joy, and let your kindness become a revolution.

September is a month of change—light shifts, seasons shift, and so can you. In this episode, I’m talking about the power of small, intentional shifts: shifting your perspective, your energy, and your focus. You don’t need a full life overhaul—just a willingness to pivot toward joy, courage, and possibility. Let’s make September the month of moving with intention and sparkle. 

This week’s episode comes to you from the salty breezes and rolling waves of St. Augustine Beach, Florida — the perfect setting for Rumi’s reminder: “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the ocean in a drop.”

Together, we’ll dive into what it means to recognize your vastness, your power, and the truth that you hold the whole universe within you. Too often we feel small, invisible, or like just one more drop in the crowd. But the ocean doesn’t apologize for its waves — and neither should you.

I’ll share reflections from the shoreline, weaving the wisdom of water into how you can flow through life with more grace, strength, and sparkle. Because when you remember you are the ocean in a drop, you stop shrinking and start shimmering. I'll even share a little meditation and sound from the waves!

✨ Tune in and let’s ride the waves together!

What if the Universe has an even better plan for you than the one you’re chasing?

In this episode, I dive into Rumi’s powerful reminder: “What’s meant to be will always find its way. Always.” I’m sharing how this truth has danced its way into my own life recently.

When I launched The AbunDANCE Path seven months ago, my focus was on increasing revenue. Instead, I received soul-level opportunities that lit me up in ways money never could.

This is a story about trust, timing, and letting go of the “how” so the Universe can surprise you. If you’ve ever wondered whether what’s meant for you will actually find you — this one’s your sign.

Be the Soul of the Place — A Rumi-Inspired Reflection for Right Now

In this solo episode, host Lisa Sullivan opens her heart and the mic to talk about why she started Be an Adorable Badass — and why now, more than ever, we need to raise our voices, stand in our power, and be the soul of wherever we are.

Inspired by Rumi’s timeless words — “Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place” — this episode is a call to lightworkers, truth-tellers, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world.

It’s not a time for hopelessness.
It’s a time for rest and return.
For fierce tenderness.
For speaking up.
For starting within.

Lisa wraps the episode with another powerful Rumi quote:
 “And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?”
… and invites you to take the next step on your journey.

If your soul’s been nudging you, this is your sign.

Ever felt like the thing you’ve been searching for—your confidence, your clarity, your enough-ness—has been hiding in plain sight? You’re not alone.

In this episode, we explore why it’s so hard to see what’s right in front of us. Why our brains play hide-and-seek with the obvious. Why fear and old stories fog up our inner lens. And how one simple act can change everything.

Our guest, the incredible Noreen Kelty, knows this better than anyone. She has a wonderful ritual and she’s about to celebrate a BIG MILESTONE on July 24th!

Noreen shares her story and she does it all with wisdom, heart, and a thick, no-nonsense Noo Yawk accent that’ll have you laughing and nodding at the same time. Noreen brings the sass, the soul, and the kind of straight talk that only a woman with a fun NY accent can deliver. We talk about how her ritual can start being your ritual. 

This episode is for anyone who’s ready to stop searching outside and start seeing themselves clearly.

Because the love, the power, the magic? It’s been there all along.

In this radiant Joyful July episode, I sit down with the one and only Karen Drucker—singer, songwriter, and soul-soother whose empowering music has uplifted thousands. We dive into the art of pivoting with purpose, listening when the universe starts tapping (or yelling), and how joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a compass.

Karen shares her powerful mantra: “Things work out… until they don’t.” And oh, do we explore what happens next—how to gracefully (and sometimes messily) pivot, shift directions, and realign with what truly brings you joy.

Whether you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or just ready for a joy reboot, this episode is your gentle nudge (or loving shove) to embrace change with open arms and a full heart.

Because sometimes, the pivot is the path.

The Summer Solstice is here — the longest, brightest day of the year. And it’s not just a celestial event... it’s a cosmic invitation to stop dimming your magic and start radiating the real you.

In this special solo episode of the Be an Adorable Badass podcast, I’m diving into what it means to step into your light, claim your confidence, and rise without apology — just like the sun.

✨ Let go of what’s been dimming you
 ✨ Reconnect to your inner fire
 ✨ Say YES to your bold, radiant self

You were never meant to stay small... You were born to shine!

In this episode of Be an Adorable Badass, we’re tackling the sneaky voice of imposter syndrome—what it feels like, why it shows up, and how to reclaim your power when it does. I share a raw, real reflection on moving through the emotional stages of self-doubt, from shock to gratitude. Then, I sit down with the incredible Brea Berman-Black, who survived a near-fatal car accident and is now changing lives through her new venture, Get Support Together, a platform connecting people to community-based mental health support. Her story is one of resilience, purpose, and badass bravery. If you've ever questioned your worth or wondered, “Who am I to do this?”—this one’s for you.
