In this episode of A Superwoman Handbook, we sit down with Lisa Jacovsky—a woman whose life is a living blueprint for what it means to pivot with purpose. From the burnout of chasing a board certification she never quite caught, to rediscovering herself as a teacher, author, and soon-to-be school psychologist, Lisa’s story is packed with resilience, redirection, and radical self-belief. She walks us through the emotional rollercoaster of failed exams, toxic work environments, and gut-wrenching uncertainty—but also the quiet moments of clarity that led her to write 11 award-winning children’s books, pursue her doctorate, and finally land in a career that fits like a glove.

Lisa’s journey is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t always follow a straight line—and sometimes, the detour is the destination. She opens up about learning to trust her gut when logic failed her, the strength it takes to let go of a dream that no longer serves you, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who remind you who you are. Whether you’re facing a career crisis, navigating rejection, or simply figuring out what’s next, Lisa’s story will leave you feeling seen, understood, and inspired to embrace your own winding path with courage and curiosity.
