I come alongside people in the hard seasons of life with a message forged in fire — you don’t have to be okay. You just have to take the next small step.
First, brush your teeth.
Author • Speaker
Lisa has spent decades coming alongside people in the hard seasons of life — the bone-weary exhaustion of motherhood, the disorienting fog of grief, the paralysis that comes when life asks more than you think you can give. Her message is simple and hard-won: You don’t have to be okay. You just have to take the next small step.
A published author and keynote speaker, Lisa shares wisdom forged in fire — including the loss of her youngest son Chandler. Whether life leaves you tuckered out or devastated, the sacredness of the next small step is the same. First, brush your teeth.
Public Speaking
Whether you are planning an intimate retreat or a conference for thousands, Lisa brings a message forged in real life — warm, honest, and grounded in the kind of hope that actually holds up when life gets hard.
Writing
As the author of First, Brush Your Teeth and Days of Whine and Noses, Lisa writes the way she speaks — with honesty, warmth, humor and a steady light for the path ahead.
“Hope for hard seasons.
The sacredness of small steps is the path.”
Grief and Hope Co-Exist
