In The Driver's Seat

Lisa French

Somewhere along the way, you stopped driving. Maybe life got busy. Maybe loss reshaped you. Maybe you kept saying yes to everything except what you really wanted in life. Or maybe you know exactly what you want, you just don't believe yet that it's possible for you. In the Driver's Seat is the podcast for people who are ready to stop aimlessly drifting and start creating a life they genuinely love. Host Lisa French is a former race car driver turned empowerment coach. One day she quit a secure job and moved solo 1,000 miles from Iowa to Florida, to a place she had never been, with no plan except intentional living and the belief that more was possible. Each week, Lisa brings real stories, honest conversations, and practical tools rooted in mindset, self-worth, and manifestation. The kind that helped her navigate grief, reinvention, difficult relationships, and a leap of faith most people only dream about. This isn't a highlights reel. It's the whole road: the hard seasons, the quiet turning points, the unexpected grace, and the proof that possibility is real no matter where you're starting from. New episodes every Thursday.

    Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: A 3-Question Practice

    You want something different, but you keep rehearsing the same thought-feeling loop. In this episode of In The Driver's Seat, Episode 30, Lisa French breaks down a lesson from Dr. Joe Dispenza's Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and shares a simple 3-question practice to notice one recurring pattern and rehearse a new response. This conversation connects manifestation with the energy you carry after the vision board moment. You will learn how thoughts spark feelings, feelings spark matching thoughts, and how past disappointment shapes what you expect next. Lisa shares the replay-after-the-conversation example, why complaint can become a home base, and how to practice a believable next step with meditation and daily awareness. If you are working on manifestation, mindset, and intentionally creating a life you love, start with one loop. 📓 Free Resources: Free Visualization Guide - Steps on how to manifest by practicing visualization → https://lisafrench.rocks/visualization Hello, Possibility Newsletter - Get mindset tools and manifestation strategies delivered every Tuesday.

    Why Being Present is the Secret to Everything You Want

    I won two Gulf Coast Jam wristbands from a parking lot giveaway after picturing my name called once. This manifestation story shows how manifestation works when feeling good comes first. In this episode of In the Driver's Seat, I share what happened in 2023, years after my spiritual awakening journey began. I walk through the good news I was celebrating, the simple visualization of hearing my name over the speaker, entering the drawing, staying for the moment, and the live TV interview that followed. I break down law of attraction as a lifestyle, not a performance, including emotional awareness, simple imagination, and inspired action you can practice in ordinary days. This reflects my empowerment coaching work helping people notice thoughts, feelings, and patterns to intentionally create a life they love. Try this: pick one small good moment today, enjoy it fully for one minute, then picture one clear moment that would show your desire arriving. 📓 Free Resources: Free Visualization Guide - Steps on how to manifest by practicing visualization → https://lisafrench.rocks/links Hello, Possibility Newsletter - Get mindset tools and manifestation strategies delivered every Tuesday.
