“After 20 some years of not finding myself, I learned how to find myself again,” shares Lisa Richer, founder of Journey2Bloom. In today’s episode, Michelle and Lisa talk about the necessary components needed to successfully launch a personal brand business.

 

After years of struggling to ask for help, Lisa experienced career-ending burnout. Being the matriarch of her family, Lisa always felt obligated to remain strong for her family and friends, no matter how it affected her. It wasn’t until she gave herself the necessary space, that Lisa was able to gain the clarity she needed to make better decisions for herself. By listening to her intuition, Lisa decided to take the leap and change her career path. Today, Lisa has been able to launch a successful personal brand centered around her passion for helping neurodivergent children. 

 

Tune into this week’s episode for a conversation with host Michelle Griffin and special guest Lisa Richer to learn how to leverage your passion to find clarity, confidence, and courage so you can build the personal brand of your dreams.
