Transformational Facilitator
Your financial decisions aren't just shaped by what you know. They're shaped by what you believe, what you've experienced, and the patterns you've learned along the way.
I help people change those patterns so they can make confident financial decisions and build lives they actually want to live.

The Why
Financial decisions are shaped by emotion, identity, past experience, relationships, and the meaning you attach to money. That is why you can understand the strategy and still hesitate, earn more and still feel behind, or have a plan and still repeat the decisions that work against it.
Traditional advice focuses on tracking, cutting, and restricting. Those tools help, but they don't reach the behavior underneath them.
You can know what to do with money and still struggle to do it.

I help people understand what is really driving their financial decisions.
I've spent more than 25 years in coaching, education, leadership, and financial services, including years as a financial advisor serving high-net-worth clients. That work taught me that a good plan only works if the person following it can carry it out.
My own path has included financial setbacks and major life transitions. I know firsthand that knowing what to do with money and actually doing it are two different things.
That gap is what my work is built around. I developed my own Financial Emotional Intelligence framework to help people recognize the patterns behind their decisions and start making different ones.
I'm the author of Stop Budgeting, Start Living and host of the Real Money podcast, and my work has been featured by CNBC, NBC News, Fortune, Entrepreneur, O – The Oprah Magazine, and Bloomberg.

Working with Lisa has been one of the most pivotal decisions I have made both personally and professionally. She has really helped me understand my personal habits and didn't try to change who I was, but lean in and make better decisions. My business is on its way to hit 7 figures next year and I am almost completely out of credit card debt.
