In this episode, Lisa talks about how she created her dream life; living in Paraguay, happily married, working only a few days a week, and capturing experiences. Lisa talks about what ignited her to take the action that led her down the path to create the life she lives today. With time, perseverance, thinking outside the box, taking small action steps, and not giving up, she has made her dreams a reality. Her message is to live your life NOW.
Lisa grew up in Northern California where she received her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from National University in 2006. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California and has an online private practice. In her 15 years experience, she has successfully helped people overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma. In 2017, she made some life changing decisions. Lisa had a full time, in-person, private practice in Northern California but she had a deep desire to travel, explore the world, and learn about culture. She took action and is now living in Paraguay in South America and is loving every minute of it! Her passion is also to help people accomplish their dreams so that they wake up every single day with joy and zero regrets.
