🌟 A message from Lisa:
I’ve faced many challenges in life, experiencing love and laughter, to heartache and perseverance. Each experience has shaped me, teaching resilience, growth and compassion for others.
Here’s a quick look at my journey:
- My parents divorced when I was 2.
- I won a drama school scholarship at 18, pursuing my dream of working in TV.
- I travelled solo through Southeast Asia and Australia, facing a near-death experience along the way!
- I adapted to life as a single parent after my beautiful daughter’s birth in 2006 and built a career in Commercial Real Estate.
- I reconnected with a childhood friend who had lost his first wife. In 2011 we married and became a blended family and I became a step parent to my 2 eldest children whom I love dearly.
- I helped expand my brother’s wedding business to Mallorca and began bodybuilding, competing in 2016 and 2017.
- I now work as a Director in the Flexible Office industry and am building my coaching practice and podcast.
- My next goal is to move to Spain and create a life by the sea!
💫 I’ve learned that life is full of opportunities if you just look up and reach for them.
Let me help you discover yours ❤️
