Wise, winsome, and spiced with wit
Listening to the first seven episodes of Lisa’s new podcast has brought moments of insight, practical wisdom, inspiration, challenge, and laughter. Lisa and her guests coax me into being the best version of myself. Possibly the interview with Russ is my favorite so far—but it’s a tough choice because each episode is thoroughly wise, winsome, and spiced with wit!
Lisa is inspiring!
I really appreciate Lisa’s sincerity and passion and her ability to stir thoughts and emotions in the listener. And I’m inspired by this idea of making life less difficult for ourselves and others and think this is a very realistic and practical way of looking at life - but it is also inspirational and motivating at the same time. Thanks for encouraging us to tell our stories, Lisa!
