Best friends aren’t supposed to spill the tea like this... but here we are.

This week on The Mind School Podcast, I’m joined by my bestie and business coach, Steph Gorton, as we dive headfirst into the wild world of shadow work.

Let’s just say…it’s gnarly, it’s hilarious, and it’s just a little unhinged.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll hear:

👯‍♀️ What’s our toxic trait? (Yes, we’re airing it all out; no filter!)

👯‍♀️ When was the last time we felt jealous… and why? The answers might surprise you 👀

👯‍♀️ What goals did we completely fail to reach in 2024? (We’re not sugarcoating anything here.)

👯‍♀️ What belief or habit is getting the boot in 2025? (BYE FELICIA!)

This isn’t your average coaching convo, it’s raw, real, and packed with both lol-worthy moments and oh-damn-they’re-talking-to-me truths.

If you’re ready to:

✨ Laugh till you cry

✨ Reflect on your own shadow work

✨ Feel a little less alone in your own messy growth journey

…then hit play ASAP.

Trust me, you’ll be screaming “same!” at least once while listening.

Ever feel like you need to have a wild “rags to riches” story to make your mark? 🤔 Lisa spills the tea on how imposter syndrome can creep in when we don’t have those over-the-top stories we often see online. Spoiler: It’s okay if your story doesn’t involve overcoming crazy odds.

Lisa breaks down how even without a dramatic transformation or an inspirational “backstory,” you can still show up as your authentic self and have a huge impact on the people you serve.

🎭 Stop waiting for a “perfect” moment.
🎭 Showing up as you are (flaws and all) is the best way to connect with your audience.
🎭Imposter syndrome is normal. Everyone goes through it.
🎭Be real. Show up. And let the magic happen.

Ever feel like you’re not “remarkable” enough? Drop a comment or hit us up on social—we’d love to hear how you’re dealing with imposter syndrome!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into how to handle those super tough, emotional conversations like a total boss—whether it’s supporting a friend through something heavy or tackling a sensitive issue head-on.

Let’s be real: it’s not always easy. Sometimes you’re sitting there like, “What do I even say?!” But with the right mindset and tools, you can show up for the people you care about in a way that truly makes a difference.

Here’s what we’re covering:

👭 How to just listen (because sometimes that’s all they need)

👭 Why brushing off their feelings does more harm than good

👭 The art of sharing without making it about you

👭 Asking the right questions to show you care

If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure about how to support someone—or if you’ve avoided hard conversations because they’re so uncomfortable—this episode is 100% for you.

We’re breaking down the power of compassion, the magic of really listening, and how to show up when it matters most. Trust me, these insights will change the way you approach even the trickiest convos.

This episode is so raw, I might delete it later 🤣⁠

Today, I’m getting real about my journey with grief and the reality of a long fertility journey. From managing emotions during business highlights to dealing with all the “helpful advice” that comes my way, I’m opening up about how messy, exhausting, and—yes, sometimes beautiful—it can be to keep pushing forward.⁠
⁠
Balancing life while holding onto hope, even when it feels like the universe throws a new curveball each month, has been a wild ride.⁠
⁠
This one’s for anyone juggling big dreams, fertility challenges, and all the unexpected things life brings.⁠
⁠
Tune in as I share: ⁠
⁠
❤️‍🩹 The Mental & Emotional Load of the day-to-day fertility experience ⁠
⁠
❤️‍🩹 The tiring dance between “surrender” and taking empowered action. ⁠
⁠
❤️‍🩹 Wanting something badly, without going into desperate, lack energy. ⁠
⁠
❤️‍🩹 How sharing hard days and leading with honesty makes it easier to show up in life and business. ⁠
⁠
If you are also going through a challenging TTC journey, I see you. ⁠
⁠
This episode is not advice, it's not lessons, it's not wisdom. It's just me, sharing as a human.⁠

BRB, going to nurse my vulnerability hangover.

Want to join the conversation? Comment ‘211’ and get ready to dive into some serious money mindset shifts! 🎙️

Today’s episode is serving up ALL the tea on #triggers—those moments that make your blood boil—and how you can flip them into major personal growth. 

Plus, I’m sharing how I’ve been dealing with some serious trolling lately (yep, it’s been wild) and how I managed to keep my cool through it all.

This Episode is for You if:

👉 You find yourself getting triggered by small (or big) things and want to understand why.

👉 You’ve ever lost your cool in a conversation and wished you handled it better.

👉 You’re looking for tools to manage your emotions and level up your self-awareness.

👉 You’ve dealt with criticism or trolling and want to know how to stay calm under pressure.

👉 You’re ready to turn your triggers into glow-up moments and thrive in tough situations.

👉 You want to hear how I’ve personally handled the trolls and turned their shade into strength. 💅

What We’re Talking About:

💥 Why We Get Triggered: Ever wonder why certain things set you off? Let’s dive into the psychology behind your reactions, and why emotional regulation is key when you’re face-to-face with criticism or conflict.

👀 How to Stay Cool: Want to know the ultimate life hack? Staying curious (even when you’re fuming). We’ll talk about how to stay cool and open-minded when you feel like snapping.

🔥 Triggers = Glow-Up Fuel: The things that trigger you can actually help you level up. We’ll show you how to turn those tough moments into your biggest growth opportunities.

💥 Trolls, Critics & Fear of Judgement. I’ve been dealing with a fair amount of trolls lately (yes, that radio drama was just the start), and let’s just say, the shade has been REAL. But instead of letting it get under my skin, I’ve turned it into pure growth fuel—and I’m sharing exactly how I’ve kept my cool when things got yucky. 🫖

And So. Much. More. 

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one! 💅 

In this ep, we’re breaking down how being the “safe” one in the room changes everything. spoiler: it's NOT about being passive or agreeable! We're talking emotional consistency, being available for the people in your life, and why that's crucial whether you’re a coach, a leader, or a parent. 

What We’re Serving:

🤗 Emotional Security = Winning: People open up and show their best selves when they feel safe around you. Are you bringing that energy? 

🤗Coach/Parent/Leader Combo: The secret sauce to better leadership, coaching, and parenting? Being there for others in a real way. It’s not just about setting rules; it’s about being consistent, understanding, and present.

🤗 Setting Boundaries, Not Barriers: People – yes, even your kids – want structure. It gives them the room to be themselves, take risks, and feel safe at the same time.

🤗 Authenticity FTW: when you show up as a safe person, you inspire others to feel safe and authentic around you, strengthening relationships.

Feeling inspired to create those safe spaces?  If today’s chat about safe spaces hit home for you, pass it on! ✨

Let’s talk about why you’re really not chasing your big crazy goals. It’s not a lack of confidence—it’s a lack of emotional resilience. There I said it.  

In this episode, we’re breaking down how to push through that fear and take action, even when you’re second-guessing every move. 

You’re not here to wait for confidence to magically appear—you’re here to build it by doing the hard stuff first.

Here’s what you’ll get:

💪 A Loving kick up the butt: If you've been saying tings like "when I'm more confident..." this is for you.

💪 Why I reject the notion that some people are more confident than others.

💪 Courage is something you already have—it's just not something you've practiced being comfortable with

💪 Forget dreaming—it’s time to make actual moves.

💪 No excuses—stop looking for a way out. If you want it, act on it.

This episode is all about calling yourself out, getting real, and taking the next step without waiting for permission. If you’ve been sitting around hoping for a spark, consider this it.

Oh, and quick heads up—the 2024 Mind School is officially sold out (yep, already). But if you want a shot at 2025, the waitlist is now open. Get on it if you’re serious, because these spots disappear fast.
