The Lisa Pezik Show

In the midst of COVID-19, I talked to my friend Cheryl about using mindful moments and meditation.

After losing her husband to stage 4 colon cancer and being rendered homeless with 3 kids when Hurricane Sandy swept through the Jersey shore, Cheryl turned to meditation to pull her from a dark place. She truly learned how to live again.

From her experiences, she created the company Grit and Grace Meditation as an educator, best selling author, workshop facilitator, a 200 hour mindfulness/meditation and yoga instructor and 40 Hour Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra Teacher.

Listen to her wisdom as we dive into how to:

• Stop muscling through life
• Be a giver of peace not stress
• See meditation as a spiritual workout that grows in time
• Surrender to the stillness
• Build mindful moments in your day
• Understand the best times to meditate
• Do a body scan meditation to drop into our body

Setting boundaries, saying yes, saying no... there isn’t a lack of information in the decision making space, but what is lacking is knowing which option is right for you at the right time.

It’s not a cookie-cutter system, or exact plan.

I say NO to a lot of opportunities that come my way NOW, but in the beginning, I said YES to everything. In this podcast, I tell you why.

And if you’re on the fence of a yes or no, I share the TWO TIPS I use to know which one to chose.

What does success really look like, and how does self-love lead to it?

That’s the question my guest this week, Tara Ann LePera and I unpacked.

As a mom of 4, wife, and entrepreneur with a message of self-love and belief, Tara had to navigate life as a young single mother, dropping out of school, and moving multiple times in her childhood never really gave her the feeling of stability.

Her self-love comes from her daily practices, and she shares things you can implement right away to start dreaming, and doing again.

The landscape for women can be a tough space to navigate. Whether it's business, motherhood, friendships, or any type of connection, we can either feel disconnected or guarded. This week on the podcast, I had the three ladies of Inspired Purpose Coaching on to share how they collaborate, lean into their values, what they do when disagreements arise, the unique ways they serve the world. It's a must listen if you're craving inspiration, owning your strengths, and sisterhood.  Connect with them on IG: @InspiredPurpse or email [email protected]

Amy Broccoli helps athletes realize their true potential and builds solid communities of growth and support.

In this latest episode, Amy and I talk about:

• How being different was her secret edge
• The adversity she’s faced going against the grain
• Starting two businesses
• Competing as a world class weight lifter

Her strategies and mindset challenge all women to break that glass ceiling in their health, as entrepreneurs, and to go after exactly what they want.

After the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Facebook was an extremely judgemental place.

Everyone had an opinion about the show, and the way it should or should not have been presented. 

I couldn't help but realize how much this is the same for personal or company brands.

Living in a digital age, everyone can post a review or have a say and it can be murky waters to navigate.

Here's WHY staying true to your brand is so important.

Forty pounds overweight, prescribed drugs from her doctor, and feeling overwhelmed and misaligned, Penelope had to make a decision...stay on this path or start again.

Penelope chose to start again, learned how to give meaning to her experience, and embrace a new way of eating, a new business, and a new mindset.

In my latest podcast, Penelope shares how she transitioned from being in the beauty industry to becoming an integrative nutrition health coach, and the lessons she learned along the way.

It’s never too late to start, and rediscover your best self.

Whether you're just starting out or trying to expand your online business, I've identified three gaps and traps that hit entrepreneurs when they least expect it.

These were the three mindset gaps that held me back from the income and impact that I wanted. In this latest podcast with Melissa Feistam (I had the honour of being her first guest), I share how I overcame these gaps and traps and created the business I desired. 

Blue Monday is a term for the third Monday in January.

I honestly had no idea this was a “thing” and it prompted me to record a “you can’t pour from an empty cup” episode.

If you’re battling mental health, I honour you.

If you’re broke, frustrated, or overwhelmed in business, know it’s a choice and you can change it.

In this podcast, I talk about the process of:

• What to build first
• What to invest and re-invest in first in business
• Why understanding sales is vital

Connection, understanding, community, results, this is what you and your ideal clients want, but why don’t we always get there?

Vanity metrics. I want you to stop worrying about size - the size of your list, the number of likes, and if you don’t get selected for the things you want because of it. It may be a universal sign that it’s not a right fit if the intentions aren’t clear.

Business is built with quality over quantity. I never want you questioning if you’re worthy or enough.  

Have a listen to my latest podcast about:

• What’s the right size
• When it’s the right time to add an asset like a course or podcast
• How to name your course
• How to set clear intentions so your potential customers build trust in you, and your product or service.
