In The Driver's Seat

You want something meaningful. You hear you need to let go of how it will arrive. This episode shows how to focus on your desire and trust the process at the same time.

In this episode of In The Driver's Seat, I share a small parking lot moment with a lost sunglasses case that stayed with me for seven years, and how it connects to Joe Dispenza's teachings on the quantum field, clear intention, elevated emotion, and surrender. You will learn a grounded practice for manifesting without forcing every detail.

You want something different, but you keep rehearsing the same thought-feeling loop. In this episode of In The Driver's Seat, Episode 30, Lisa French breaks down a lesson from Dr. Joe Dispenza's Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and shares a simple 3-question practice to notice one recurring pattern and rehearse a new response.

This conversation connects manifestation with the energy you carry after the vision board moment. You will learn how thoughts spark feelings, feelings spark matching thoughts, and how past disappointment shapes what you expect next. Lisa shares the replay-after-the-conversation example, why complaint can become a home base, and how to practice a believable next step with meditation and daily awareness.

If you are working on manifestation, mindset, and intentionally creating a life you love, start with one loop.

Ask and It Is Given opened the door, and Dr. Joe Dispenza gave me language for why the practice worked.

In this episode of In The Driver's Seat, I share how my understanding grew from Abraham Hicks to Dr. Joe Dispenza. I walk through what I took from each teacher, how my daily manifestation practice shifted, and what I do differently now to live with more purpose and passion.

You will hear how I moved from asking and aligning toward embodying and rehearsing the future, with practical law of attraction tools for mindset, manifestation, and personal growth you can apply in your own life.

This is my personal learning journey shared in my own words. Any science mentioned reflects Dr. Joe's explanations as I understood them.

I won two Gulf Coast Jam wristbands from a parking lot giveaway after picturing my name called once. This manifestation story shows how manifestation works when feeling good comes first.

In this episode of In the Driver's Seat, I share what happened in 2023, years after my spiritual awakening journey began. I walk through the good news I was celebrating, the simple visualization of hearing my name over the speaker, entering the drawing, staying for the moment, and the live TV interview that followed. I break down law of attraction as a lifestyle, not a performance, including emotional awareness, simple imagination, and inspired action you can practice in ordinary days.

This reflects my empowerment coaching work helping people notice thoughts, feelings, and patterns to intentionally create a life they love.

Try this: pick one small good moment today, enjoy it fully for one minute, then picture one clear moment that would show your desire arriving.

When your kids leave home, you miss more than you expected: their energy, their friends, and the everyday moments in between. In this episode, Lisa shares the gradual empty nest transition, the question that changed everything — "What does Lisa want now?" — and 4 questions to help you discover what you want next.

After both of her kids eventually landed in Oklahoma, Lisa noticed the house had changed and so had her everyday life. This conversation is for anyone navigating life after kids leave home. Whether it's one child off to college or a quiet house that feels unfamiliar.

You'll hear:

• Why you may miss your kids' friends and the community around school as much as the daily routine
• How everyday access changes and how to stay connected without constant updates
• What helped Lisa adjust gradually, and how siblings and partners adjust too
• The question her boss asked right after her daughter graduated that opened a new chapter
• 4 questions to sort through the transition: What changed most? What am I proud of? What am I grieving? What still feels true about who I am?

Purpose isn't one big answer you're supposed to find someday. It's something you can live in the next hour.

After listening to Gabby Bernstein and reflecting on Dolly Parton's wisdom — find out who you are and do it on purpose — I'm taking the purpose conversation somewhere more grounded. Not in the future, not at a distance, but in how you spend your attention today.

In this episode you'll hear:

How the "one impressive purpose" story keeps us stuck

The 4 quiet signals a thread is alive right now — time, energy, choosing it unprompted, people bringing it to you

Why micro-purpose counts — a purposeful hour, not a life overhaul

My thread: Two vacation days, gas to Ames, volunteering at the Special Olympics Summer Games at Jack Trice Stadium — cycling, long jump, high-fives, and a heart full for weeks after

A simple one-thread experiment to try this week without adding another project

On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, we said goodbye to Dolly Parton (1946-2026). How did she make so many different people feel safe, seen, and loved in a world that feels so divided?

In this episode of In The Driver's Seat, I share what Dolly's life teaches us about intentional living, boundaries, compassion, and grace.

We start with her 2023 Person to Person conversation with Norah O'Donnell on CBS: “We're supposed to love ourselves and love one another” and trace it through three lessons you can practice this week.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The boundary that became a blessing: saying no to Elvis keeping 50% of "I Will Always Love You" publishing — and why Whitney Houston's 1992 Bodyguard version meant the door stayed open

• The compassion that grew from a hard story: Imagination Library, started in 1995 in Sevier County, Tennessee to honor her father Robert Lee Parton, now 270 million books gifted — plus her $1M gift to Vanderbilt for Moderna's COVID-19 research in 2020

• The grace to let people be themselves: "I ain't that good a Christian to think I am so good to judge people," writing "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" the same day in 1973, tapping "9 to 5" on her acrylic nails, and losing her own look-alike contest on Santa Monica Boulevard — and what "Find out who you are and do it on purpose" means for you

CHAPTERS:

0:00 How do we love better like Dolly?

0:45 Find out who you are and do it on purpose

2:15 Lesson 1 — A boundary that honors your worth

5:10 Lesson 2 — Let a hard story become service

7:45 Lesson 3 — Grace to be yourself and let others be themselves

10:15 Your practice this week — 3 small acts

That urge to act — is it inspired action or just anxiety grabbing the wheel?

In this episode of In The Driver's Seat, I share the story of the $650 house that became my sanctuary for 6.5 years — and how it taught me the difference between a scary-but-right next step and forcing something that was never meant for me. You'll get my 3-part check: Body, Motive, and Scope.
