What is your stress response? Most of us know the three main responses: fight, flight, or freeze. We usually think of these stress responses as related to a physical threat. Not all stress is situational, though.
In today’s episode, Lisa introduces the fourth stress response that most people don’t talk about. This one comes out most often when stress is circumstantial, not physical.
Lisa often discusses how chronic stress is one of the number one aggravators of health challenges, and it can be deadly. The fourth response that Lisa highlights today is how many people seek safety when they are dealing with chronic stress. We must prioritize eliminating chronic stress from our lives, which starts with recognizing your stress response.
Some people fight, some people flee, and some people freeze. But others do this fourth thing. Tune in to learn your stress response, how to recognize it in your behavior, and what you need to do to put chronic stress in remission.

In 2019, Lisa had the mastery and dedication as a plant-based health coach. Her clients were getting serious results. She had a framework that worked and valuable information that she could use to change lives. However, her revenue didn’t match her service level.
In this episode, Lisa shares the one thing she changed in her coaching offer that catapulted her revenue over six-figures. She shares her experience building her business acumen, specializing her coaching and speaking, and committing to solving a more sophisticated problem.
There is a distinct difference between a teacher and a coach. You can get people results by sharing facts and science. But if you don’t have a story, you won’t create emotional connections, and you won’t inspire action.
If you are ready to accelerate your revenue and grow your coaching business in a sustainable way, this episode is for you. Learn how to elevate and position your offer so that you can move to the next level as a coach or speaker.

The average person is overweight, on prescription meds, unhappy with their job, carries a lot of stress, and is struggling with their relationships. Knowing these facts, why would we allow average people to shame us or make us feel unsafe for living intentionally and doing well?
In this episode, Lisa shares the one decision she made that instantly improved the quality of her life. She discusses why it can be uncomfortable when everything is going right in your life because we are taught that every time something good happens, it is followed by something terrible. This mindset holds us back and gets us stuck in mediocrity.
You must make above-average decisions to live an above-average life. Moderation won’t do. To live the life you dream of and pray for, you must elevate your decision-making. If you are ready to get out of the middle lane and start doing the most for your health, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to find your possibility model, hit your goals, and start living an above-average life.
