3 years ago, Lisa Spring suddenly became severely disabled. While grieving the loss of her vocation, she found herself questioning how she could possibly "create her purpose" while relegated to bed. Lisa and I talk frankly about the dark days of her illness (and how Spotify playlists got her through it!) and how adjusting her expectations to meet reality as it was was how she moved forward. Listen and you won't help but feel inspired by Lisa's mindset, her entrepreneurial tenacity, and how she works *with* her brain & body instead of against them in order to truly live out her purpose, even in the face of hardship.
