Find Your Clear Vision

Meet my guest, former COO of the mega-brand Bossbabe and my past client, Marissa Liesenfelt. She shares her incredible journey from corporate success to finding her clear vision.

Marissa spent years excelling in her field but ultimately felt unfulfilled, realizing that her “checked boxes” weren’t lighting her up. Through surrender, self-discovery, and a series of bold life choices, Marissa went from feeling stagnant in Chicago to building a fulfilling coaching business in Europe.

She shares her journey of stepping away from structured corporate roles, facing the unknown, and discovering a life aligned with her true vision.

Key Insights for Entrepreneurs:

• Finding and Trusting Your Clear Vision: How Marissa recognized that a successful career on paper wasn’t fulfilling her in real life and the steps she took to clarify her true purpose.
• Letting Go of Control: Why Marissa, a self-identified planner, learned to release control and trust her intuition, leading to more aligned opportunities and friendships.
• Identifying Time-Wasters in Business: The common pitfalls Marissa sees with founders, such as over-focusing on admin work, avoiding delegation, and failing to prioritize visibility.
• Scaling with Energetic Alignment: Why combining personal energy and self-belief with strategy creates real impact and how Marissa is using this in her own business to help female founders grow with ease.

Be prepared for an honest, insightful conversation about life’s twists and turns—and what it truly takes to create success on your own terms.

+ Join me on January 2, 2025 for Design Your Year: A Vision Experience for a Purposeful, Profitable, and Aligned 2025

http://www.bebrightlisa.com/2025 In this episode, we’re diving into creating a vision for 2025 that’s sensory-rich, purpose-driven, and completely YOU. As the year winds down, let’s look ahead—not with a boring checklist, but with a vision that you can see, hear, and feel. Because when your vision feels real, you’re way more likely to make it happen.

If you’ve been feeling like it’s time for a “mental reset,” this is your chance to hit CTRL + ALT + DELETE on what didn’t work in 2024 and start dreaming big for 2025. Let’s create a future that’s not just about goals but about experiences that align with who you are.

In this episode, I talk about:

1. Sensory visioning: creating a 2025 that feels real with sights, sounds, and textures.
2. Building out your ideal day in detail—from the colors to the soundtrack to the surroundings.
3. Using sensory elements to ground your vision in something you can connect with daily.
4. A preview of the Your Signature 2025 Vision Webinar, where we’ll go deep into this process together.

Join me as I guide you through the steps to craft a vision that doesn’t just look good on paper but feels authentic and meaningful in your daily life.

Be bright, Lisa

In this episode, I’m diving into the journey from self-gaslighting to building new patterns of positivity through powerful affirmations. After last week’s episode, your responses blew me away, and it’s clear that more of us need these tools in our everyday lives. I’m sharing what’s worked for me and, of course, some science-backed wisdom from Dr. Caroline Leaf on how our brains respond to intentional thought.

Today I talk about:

1. Spotting the signs of self-gaslighting and how it sneaks into our lives.
2. Using positive affirmations as more than feel-good words—learning how to make them stick.
3. The science behind affirmations and how Dr. Caroline Leaf’s work on neuroplasticity sheds light on changing our thought patterns.
4. My clear vision process, beginning with “eliminate ambiguity” and moving toward real clarity and change.

If you’re tired of those old, nagging thoughts and ready to replace them with new, powerful beliefs, this episode is for you. Let’s work together to uncover the patterns that need to go and start building a mindset that aligns with who you truly are. Listen in to learn how I’m doing it and how you can too.

In this deeply personal episode, I dive into a raw and honest exploration of a year marked by setbacks, self-discovery, and the struggle to find my way back to clarity.

As a mindset coach, it’s ironic to admit that I struggled with mental health, but it’s important to share my truth, vulnerabilities, and the lessons learned along the way.

Today I talk about:

1. The irony of losing clarity as a mindset coach and the journey to regain it.
2. How the sudden closure of a PR campaign led to unexpected emotional and financial setbacks.
3. The importance of self-care rituals and routines in healing from depression.
4. A raw and honest reading from my journal, where I visualize and describe what depression looked like for me.

Join me as I share my story, my struggles, and the steps I took to reconnect with myself, hoping it resonates with those navigating similar paths.

When it comes to you stepping in front of your phone’s camera and posting a video of you sharing your business or expertise my guess is that voices pop into your head telling you that it’s not proper to talk about yourself, you should be humble, then fear disguises itself as the judge and jury secretly (or not so secretly), holding you captive from expressing and building your personal brand online.

Today, we unveil the lie that fear whispers in our ears—the falsehood that self-judgment and looking silly online is a reason NOT to build your personal brand.

In this episode, I share: 

• What's holding you back.
• Identifying your paradox pattern.

• And, 6 new mindset shifts to overcome judging yourself online.

Maura Winkler founded Fika Midwifery in Buffalo NY,  in 2017 and is now the Director of Midwifery at The Coit House, the only midwifery-led, CABC-accredited birth center in New York State. 

Originally from Buffalo, New York,  Maura Winkler moved to Chicago to pursue a medical degree. She quickly discovered that the medical model of care did not match her personal values and philosophies. 

Maura is a certified nurse midwife who believes strongly in the midwifery model of care–namely that pregnant and birthing people and their healthcare team are shared decision-makers. As a feminist midwife, she is a strong proponent that her clients are experts in their own bodies. 

In this episode Maura shares: 

• Why she hired Lisa in 2017 during a pivotal moment in her business-building journey from doula to midwifery practice
• How her path wasn’t what she thought it would be, but she kept connected to her clientele, instead of her naysayers
• How she built her holistic healthcare practice and birthing center in a historic house in Buffalo NY
• How her brand has grown over time to reflect her personal philosophies of what healthcare in America should be, and embody her clients’ personal values
