Even in the midst of your worst pain, you are not alone. Hi, I'm Lisa. A few short years ago, I lost my son Chandler. I forged a memoir — First, Brush Your Teeth—Grief and Hope in Real Time — out of intense heartbreak. As a certified grief counselor, but even more as one who has navigated the tidal waves of profound loss, I am here to journey alongside you in your grief process as a trusted voice to inspire, encourage and equip you in a way that will honor your own life and the life of your loved one.

When you are reeling with the pain of loss, sometimes you need someone who has walked that path before you to help guide your next steps. Whether through my writing, sharing on podcasts, leading retreats, or speaking at group events, I consider it an honor to come alongside those of you who are hurting to help you find your way forward. Sometimes that initial step is simple. First, brush your teeth.

 

Public Speaking

Whether you are planning an event for 20 or 2000, my goal is to equip, encourage and inspire your attendees toward confidence that they can navigate the inevitable setbacks in their lives. I will offer them real-time hope that even in the worst of circumstances, it is possible to keep moving forward, to grow, to find meaning.

Writing

Words matter. As an author, editor, ghost writer, and songwriter, I spend a lot of time contemplating words. My goal is to use them in a way that inspires and encourages. My latest book, First, Brush Your Teeth, harnesses the power of words to remind you that you are not alone in your times of loss and grief.
