Ever wonder what it’s really like to pack up and leave for two months every winter?

In this episode, my husband and I pull back the curtain and share the behind-the-scenes of why we do it, how it all started, and the impact it’s had on our life, marriage, and mindset.

From the logistics of making it happen to the lessons we’ve learned along the way, we’re giving you the real, unfiltered scoop.

If you’ve ever dreamed of taking an extended getaway (or just want to hear how we manage it all without losing our minds), this one’s for you!

In this episode of The Growth Lounge, we sit down with Lisa Humphrey, a true force of transformation and resilience. Faced with a life-or-death wake-up call, Lisa had just six months to make drastic changes—or risk everything. Overwhelmed with fear and self-doubt, she questioned whether she had what it took to turn her life around. But instead of giving up, she chose to fight.

Lisa lost 215 pounds through mindful nutrition, movement, and an unshakable mindset. But her transformation wasn’t just physical—it was a complete reinvention. She healed from within, rebuilt her confidence, and stepped into a life of purpose and empowerment.

Now, as a Reinvention Specialist, Health & Wellness Coach, and entrepreneur, Lisa helps women break free from limitations, reclaim their confidence, and create lives they love. Through coaching, fitness, and speaking engagements, she shares the strategies and mindset shifts that lead to lasting change.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• ​ The moment Lisa realized she had to change—or lose everything
• ​ How she overcame fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs
• ​ The keys to long-term weight loss and true healing
• ​ Why reinvention is possible at any stage of life
• ​ Practical steps to build confidence and create the life you deserve

Lisa’s story is living proof that transformation is always within reach—one courageous step at a time.

In this powerful episode ofThe Growth Lounge, I sit down with an incredible woman who made the courageous decision to leave an abusive marriage in the middle of the night—kids in tow, no shoes, and no plan, just the determination to break free. Her journey from survival to self-reinvention is nothing short of inspiring.

Today, she’s using her experience to help other women rebuild their lives, find their voices, and rediscover their worth after leaving abusive relationships. We talk about the raw reality of starting over, the mindset shifts that led to her transformation, and the work she’s doing now to empower women who feel lost after escaping trauma.

This episode is for anyone who needs a reminder that there is life beyond survival—that healing, strength, and purpose can emerge from even the darkest places. If you or someone you know is on the path to rebuilding, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.

Tune in and be reminded: You are stronger than you think.

Kim’s story is one of resilience, faith, and grit. After losing everything—facing repossession, eviction, and bankruptcy—she and her husband of 30+ years rebuilt their lives from the ground up while raising and homeschooling five children who are now thriving adults.

Now in her 50s, Kim is the President of a successful family-owned business creating high-paying jobs for veterans and families, with a vision to expand across all 50 states. She and her family live their dream life on a farm in Texas, surrounded by animals and the peace they always hoped for.

Kim’s passion is empowering women to rise after setbacks, sharing the tools they need to design and live their dream lives—just like she did. You can most always find her in something red or leopard print with the biggest most inviting smile on her face!

Welcome to couch talk! Couch talk was something we started in 2020 as a way to stay connected and to bring joy to a hurting world. We would go live on IG and Facebook each Wednesday to just connect with others straight from our living room couch.

We have missed it and I know so many of you have as well. So join us as we introduce a new way to share couch talk with you all.

We will be walking through a variety of topics surrounding marriage, raising kids, the joy of becoming grandparents, empty nesting and of course, growth as individuals and as a couple.

We look forward to spending time with you here on the Couch Talk Series of the Growth Lounge Podcast.

Much Love,

Chad and Jessica

I love that we are kicking off the Growth Lounge Podcast Today, January 1, 2025!

So how did we get here, how did this podcast come to be?

It has been 52 years in the making.  Something I can honestly say was laid on my heart long before the word podcast ever existed.  I have known in the deepest parts of my soul for as long as I can remember that I was born to help others see the goodness inside of them.  To shine a light on peoples gifts and talents that they cannot quite see for themselves.  I am a cheerleader, the one who will always be in your corner to cheer you on and mentor you.  But that purpose got real cloudy for me for about 30 years.

You will hear more about that journey in this episode but, once I started getting into rooms where people were dreaming bigger, living bigger and living the lives that I wanted to live, the trajectory of my life completely shifted.  That led us here today at the launch of The Growth Lounge. I believe that everyone can benefit from going to growth conferences and getting in to the room however, I also understand that it is not always attainable right now. My hope is that you find this podcast your virtual growth conference space and that you are inspired to keep growing, no matter where you are on that journey!

XOXO,

Jessica
