"What drew me in was your authenticity and openness.
You weren’t just speaking as a theorist or a doctor - you had truly lived through it. It was clear that you not only knew your stuff but had also walked the journey yourself. That made all the difference. You weren’t just sharing ideas; you were guiding people through real phases, patterns, stages, and steps of healing. It felt genuine, and that’s what resonated with me the most."
In this 5-minute video, I open up about my deeply personal journey and the devastating effects of family rejection. I candidly express the intense emotions of shock and heartbreak, as well as the overwhelming despair and hopelessness that persists. I experienced the unthinkable thoughts that often arise in the wake of family estrangement, revealing the harsh realities countless individuals face.

Healing is an inside job.
You don’t need to fix your family to find peace or reconciliation.
You are not broken - you simply have forgotten the truth of who you are.
Estrangement was never part of the plan. But neither was this level of growth.

At the heart of every tragic event in our lives is a call to align with the essence of who we truly are - a love that transcends all else. This path is not without challenge; when extending grace feels most difficult in a world that often strives to divide us, it is a Divine, guiding force within that leads us through the seemingly impossible.
I believe in the sacredness of our growth and transformation. We are called to a new phase of life, not by denying our past, but by integrating it with wisdom gained through hindsight. Our past is not a collection of mistakes, but a foundation of lessons that shape our strength and compassion.
I do not subscribe to any single faith tradition but honor the universal truth found at the core of all spiritual paths:
Love is the compass, and the heart the guide.
If my words resonate, you’re welcome to join our community — a space to explore, reflect, and share the journey of healing and remembrance together.

Reconnection is possible - not by pretending or walking on eggshells, but by healing from within.
This path isn't about fixing the past; it's about becoming a whole, grounded person who can align with what's real and choose what comes next.
Say yes to beginning again.
Say yes to knowing the truth of who you are.

Your weekly help on my estrangement is spot on and incredibly helpful. It allowed me to heal something in me I wasn't even aware of.
I've also been implementing the other tools you gave me and it has made a difference. Thank you Lisa.
This is a remarkable course and community and I look forward to every day. It really works and is helping so many who are dealing with the unbearable pain of estrangement. Signing up to work with Lisa was the best decision I've ever made.
This group is a life saver. Before I joined this group I was a hot mess. Very full of despair, guilt & shame. After completing the process step by step, at a very slow pace, I feel transformed in many aspects of my life, not just the estrangement part. This process actually becomes an ongoing part of your life, as issues surface, you now have the tools to work through them. Another great aspect is the community group with others in varying stages of the estrangement process. This group, led lovingly & patiently by Lisa- is such a loving, nurturing, safe place to meet up. You almost feel as if you’re in someone’s home chatting. Can’t thank you enough Lisa for providing this learning & nurturing program.

I signed up for Lisa's community because I felt defeated, lost and hopeless. I wanted to start feeling happier, I wanted to feel like myself again, and be more purposeful with my time instead of letting the days, weeks and years go by without accomplishing anything. I followed her guidance and the program and enjoyed the group sessions. I couldn't believe the difference everyone experienced together.
Finally relief from this rumination and pain. I can't believe how much better I feel - Yes, I think I can say "transformed". It's comforting to know I can look into the darkness of what's really bothering me. I didn't realize I was too afraid to look at my past and what's been holding me back, for what feels like, my whole life. I cherish this community.
I've spent years in therapy and didn't even realize I wasn't getting better until I began to work with Lisa. This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. The value of this is unmatched. I wish I could give you a hug in person. Your process is life changing.
