In this episode of Meaning and Moxie After 50, Leslie sits down with life coach and author Lisa Taylor to discuss her new book, It All Begins With You, and the deeply personal experiences that inspired it. Lisa shares how a series of life-altering events—including an unexpected move, becoming the primary caregiver for her six-year-old niece after a family crisis, and the eventual end of her marriage—forced her to confront years of unresolved childhood trauma. Rather than simply surviving these challenges, she chose to embark on an intentional healing journey, using practices such as journaling, meditation, breathwork, and kundalini yoga to better understand herself. Together, Leslie and Lisa explore how our most difficult seasons often become our greatest teachers, revealing patterns we've carried for years and opening the door to lasting transformation.

The conversation also focuses on practical tools for emotional healing and nervous system regulation, emphasizing that personal growth is an ongoing process rather than a destination. Lisa explains how healing her own emotional wounds ultimately led her to transition from running a successful marketing agency into coaching others through similar life transitions. Leslie highlights the importance of continually adding "new tools to the toolbox" as we grow and change, especially after 50, when many women are reevaluating who they are and what they want next. Filled with hope, wisdom, and actionable insights, this episode encourages listeners to stop looking outside themselves for answers and begin the rewarding work of healing from within so they can create a more authentic and fulfilling life.
