Are you burnt out, exhausted, and emotionally spent? Do you feel there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish what you need to do?

A Champion for Obliterating Burnout in Healthcare & HR | Transformational Keynote & TEDx Speaker | Author | Certified PQ Coach | Mental Fitness * Wellness Coach Has self-care become a luxury? Do you reach for food as a source of comfort, only to find that it's ultimately making you feel worse? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Is your health suffering? This was me, after 26 years in the corporate retail industry. I reached my heaviest weight and was completely miserable. I desperately needed a change. I took a leap of faith, quit the corporate world, and started a career in the direct selling industry. I spent an amazing 16 years serving my clients, and developed a love for coaching and mentoring others. During this time, I began my health and wellness journey with one of largest global wellness companies, losing 65 pounds in 2011. Upon reaching my goal, I decided to become a service provider, and have spent the last 10 years as a Wellness Coach, helping thousands of members achieve their health and wellness objectives. In 2020, the direct selling company I was employed with, closed its doors. I took this as an opportunity to take my wellness journey to a new level. In May of 2020, I launched my Success Coaching practice, to help individuals who were struggling with unhealthy behavior due to the pandemic. My practice has grown to helping business executives take charge of their lives, by releasing limiting beliefs that drive unhealthy behavior, and resetting their mindset and actions so they can live their happiest, healthiest, and most successful life. My clients have struggled with the following:
* Weight gain
* Poor health
* Job burnout
* Limiting beliefs that lead to lack of confidence and self-worth
* Inability to achieve work, life, balance
* Inability to achieve personal and professional goals
* Relationship challenges

Client success stories include:
* Significant reduction in stress and anxiety by creating a balanced life
* Weight loss
* Improved health
* Development of sustainable healthy habits (mind and body)
* Development of a solid Vision for goal achievement
* Building strong confidence
* Positive mindset shift
* Improved relationships
* Business success

Have you ever had one of those days where everything goes wrong—before it even really begins?

You’re already behind.
Meetings are stacked.
Messages are overflowing.
And before noon, your patience is gone.

For healthcare and HR leaders, this isn’t just a bad day—it’s a familiar pattern.

High demands. Constant interruptions. Little time to reset.

And here’s what often happens next:
When one thing goes wrong, the mind starts scanning for more problems… and finds them.

But the truth is—our thoughts shape our experience.

That delay? It may have prevented something worse.
That unexpected change? It might be creating space for a better outcome.
That “imperfect” moment? It’s still manageable.

It’s all about perspective.

The first step is awareness.
Pause and ask: What am I thinking right now—and how is it impacting how I feel and respond?

From there, you have a choice:
👉 Accept the situation as it is
👉 Or look for the gift and opportunity in the situation

Mental fitness isn’t about avoiding hard days.
It’s about responding to them differently.

Because when you shift your focus, you shift your leadership—and your wellbeing.

03/29/2026

Why do healthcare and HR leaders stay in environments they wouldn’t recommend to others?

They’re the ones people turn to when things fall apart.
They guide teams through crisis.
They model resilience.

But behind the scenes… many are running on empty.

Not because they don’t know better.
Because they’ve taken on more than their role.

They’ve taken on responsibility for everything.

👉 The team’s morale
👉 The organization’s outcomes
👉 The culture (even when they didn’t create it)

And somewhere along the way, they start believing:

“If I just try harder, I can fix this.”

But here’s the reality:

You can’t outwork a broken system.
You can’t mindset your way through chronic dysfunction.

And carrying that weight alone?

It’s what keeps high-performing leaders stuck.

Not lack of awareness.
Not lack of capability.

👉 It’s over-responsibility.

So instead of asking,
“Why don’t leaders in healthcare and HR leave?”

A better question is:

“Why do they feel like they have to stay and carry it all?”

Because when identity is tied to being the strong one… the fixer… the dependable leader
Walking away can feel like failure.

But it’s not.

Sometimes the most mentally fit decision isn’t to push through.

It’s to pause, reassess, and choose differently.

Because leadership isn’t about sacrificing yourself to sustain a system.

It’s about leading in a way that sustains you, too.

If this resonates, it may be time to redefine what strong leadership actually looks like.

03/26/2026

If you could change one thing about your life right now, what would it be?

More time in your day?
Less stress at work?
Better boundaries?
More energy for your family?
Improved health?

Healthcare and HR leaders carry a unique weight.

They support everyone else.
They solve problems.
They carry the emotional load for teams navigating constant pressure.

And somewhere along the way… their own wellbeing is no longer prioritized.

When one area of life is out of balance, it bleeds into other areas.

I know this firsthand.

During my corporate career, I worked 80+ hours a week. Even on my days off, I was trying to catch up.

Work not only monopolized my schedule—it consumed my thoughts.

I was exhausted. Stressed. Burned out.
Sleeping 4–5 hours a night.
Overweight. Depressed. Disconnected from my family.

And for years, I tolerated it… because I was successful and well-paid.

But the truth?
The cost was far greater than the paycheck.

Sound familiar?

Here’s what I’ve learned—balance isn’t about perfection.

It’s about awareness and intentional shifts.

It’s about knowing when to reset.

✔ Recognizing when stress is taking over
✔ Having tools to reset in the moment
✔ Building mental fitness to navigate challenges without burning out

If leaders are willing to do the work, real change is possible.

Not perfect balance—but a healthier, more sustainable way to lead and live.

And if part of you is thinking, “It’s too late for me”…

It’s not.

03/24/2026

“I’ve got this.”

That’s a common statement I hear from healthcare and HR leaders.

Leaders are used to being the one others rely on—
✔ Solving problems
✔ Supporting employees or patients
✔ Managing constant change and pressure

But here’s the thing…

Trying to “power through” everything is one of the fastest paths to burnout.

Mental fitness and mindfulness practices are essential for managing chronic stress—but they’re only part of the solution.

At some point, support is not optional—it’s necessary.

And yet, so many leaders hesitate to ask for help because they believe:
➡ It’s a sign of weakness
➡ They should already have the answers
➡ They don’t want to burden others

In reality?

Asking for help is a leadership strength.

When leaders reach out:
• They prevent small issues from becoming major problems
• They make better, more informed decisions
• They protect their energy, focus, and wellbeing
• They model healthy behavior for their team

Whether it’s collaborating with a colleague, leaning on their leadership team, or seeking guidance from a mentor…

Leaders don’t have to carry it all alone.

And when stress has reached the point of exhaustion?
That’s not the time to push harder—it’s the time to get additional support.

A coach or counselor can help…
✔ Identify stress triggers
✔ Shift unhelpful thought patterns
✔ Build sustainable mental fitness habits

When leaders are supported,
teams are stronger, cultures are healthier, and outcomes improve.

If you’re a leader in healthcare or HR, feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or on the edge of burnout…
Let’s connect.

03/22/2026

It’s midnight… and you’re finally in bed.

You’re exhausted—but your brain won’t shut off.

You replay the day…
The difficult employee conversation.
The staffing shortage you had to piece together.
The patient or employee situation that you can’t stop thinking about.

Then your mind jumps to tomorrow.

Did you prepare enough for the leadership meeting?
Will you be asked questions you can’t answer?
What fires will be waiting when you log in?

Sound familiar?

You finally fall asleep… around 1:30am.
The alarm goes off at 6am—and you’re already behind.

So you power through.
Skip breakfast.
Skip your workout.
Grab coffee and go.

And this is where the cycle begins…

👉 Chronic stress → poor sleep
👉 Poor sleep → low energy + brain fog
👉 Low energy → quick fixes (caffeine, sugar, carbs)
👉 Brain fog → decreased focus, more mistakes, reactive decisions

And in healthcare and HR—where decisions impact people, safety, and culture—that cost is even higher.

You try to multitask to keep up.
But the reality?

Multitasking isn’t productivity—it’s fragmented focus.

Every time you switch tasks, performance drops.
Clarity drops.
Presence drops.

And over time… so does your wellbeing.

So let me ask you:

Are you stuck in this cycle?

Because if nothing changes…
It’s not just your performance at risk—it’s your health, your leadership effectiveness, and your ability to show up for others.

I know this cycle well. I lived it.

And I also know this:

👉 It is possible to break it.
👉 It starts with strengthening your mental fitness.

Small shifts.
Better awareness.
Intentional habits.

If you’re ready to lead with more clarity, energy, and resilience—I’d love to support you.

In high-pressure healthcare and HR environments, it’s easy to operate on autopilot—reacting instead of responding.

In my international best-selling book From Burnout to Best Life, I share how mindfulness—and mental fitness—can be a game changer for leaders navigating constant demands.

Mindfulness is about being fully present, without judgment. And in your world—where decisions impact patients, employees, and entire organizations—that presence matters.

When you’re mentally fit, you:

✔ Respond thoughtfully and with curiosity instead of reacting emotionally
✔ Improve communication and trust
✔ Make clearer, more aligned decisions
✔ Reduce stress and prevent burnout

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or stretched thin, try these practical techniques you can use in real time:

1️⃣ Mental Fitness (Micro-Meditations for Immediate Calm & Focus)
You don’t need 30 minutes—you need 30 seconds.

👉 Gently rub two fingertips together and bring your full attention to the sensation
👉 Tune into your environment: identify the farthest sound you can hear… then the closest
👉 In conversations with a patient or employee:
→ Focus on the tone and inflection of their voice
→ Notice the color of their eyes or the shape/color of their glasses

These simple shifts quiet mental noise and bring you back to the present moment—fast.

2️⃣ Breath Awareness

Take a slow breath in through your nose, exhale through your mouth.
Notice your diaphragm expand and contract.
When your mind wanders (it will), gently bring it back.

3️⃣ Sensory Reset (5-4-3-2-1)

👉 5 things you see
👉 4 things you feel
👉 3 things you hear
👉 2 things you smell
👉 1 thing you taste

4️⃣ Visualization

Close your eyes and picture a calm, safe place. Engage all your senses—what do you see, hear, feel? Do this when you go to the bathroom or have a break.

5️⃣ Reduce Distractions for Deep Work

Silence notifications. Step away from devices. Protect your focus.

Mental fitness isn’t another task on your to-do list.
It’s how you lead, communicate, and show up—especially when it matters most.

Even a few seconds of intentional presence can shift your entire day.

👉 What’s one mental fitness or mindfulness practice you use to stay grounded during a stressful day?

03/17/2026

🍀 Feeling lucky… or just running on empty?

For many healthcare and HR leaders, today doesn’t feel like a celebration—it feels like just another overwhelming day.

Staffing shortages.
Emotional conversations.
Endless decisions.
Constant pressure to hold it all together.

Not exactly the “luck of the Irish,” right?

But here’s the truth…
Resilience isn’t luck. It’s built.

☘️ What if today, instead of chasing luck, you focused on strengthening your mental fitness?

Because the leaders who thrive—especially in healthcare and HR—aren’t the ones with fewer challenges.
They’re the ones who have trained their minds to handle those challenges differently.

Today, I invite you to try this simple reset:

👉 Pause for 10 seconds before your next meeting
👉 Take a deep breath and ground yourself
👉 Ask: “How do I want to show up right now?”

That small shift can change:

✨ Your energy
✨ Your communication
✨ Your impact on your team

And here’s the ripple effect…

When you lead with calm and intention, your team feels it too.

🍀 Maybe the real “luck” isn’t something you find…
It’s something you create through small, intentional choices every day.

If you’re ready to move from surviving to leading with clarity, calm, and confidence—I’d love to support you.

👇 I’d love to hear, what’s one small way you can reset today?

03/15/2026

Last Thursday I shared how fear can be one of the biggest roadblocks to growth and success for healthcare and HR leaders.

Last spring, while on vacation in Florida, I had an unexpected opportunity to put that lesson into practice.

I held a baby alligator.

I’ll be honest… I had my reservations.

The little guy had been passed around to screaming kids and adults and he wasn’t thrilled about it. He kept squirming and trying to get free.

At first, I felt my own anxiety rising.

Then I remembered something important:

Energy transfers.

So I took a deep breath.
Relaxed my body.
And calmly held him.

Within seconds, he stopped squirming and went completely still.

That moment reminded me of something I see often when coaching leaders:

When we’re tense, anxious, or fearful, our teams feel it.
But when we calm our mind and ground ourselves, others respond to that energy.

The lesson?

Pushing through fear can lead to surprising and rewarding experiences.

And sometimes your calm presence can change the entire environment… even for a baby alligator. 🐊

Where might fear be holding you back right now?

03/12/2026

Fear has a way of sneaking in and keeping many healthcare and HR leaders stuck.

Not because they lack talent.
Not because they lack opportunities.

But because of the stories they tell themselves.

I hear these fears all the time during discovery calls.

Lie #1: “Investing in myself is too risky.”

What if the leadership program doesn’t work?
What if I waste the money?
What if I fail?

I remember investing $5,000 in my first coaching program.

I thought I might throw up when I clicked submit.

But I had to ask myself a better question:

What if it does work?

Lie #2: “I can’t leave this job.”

Healthcare and HR leaders often stay because they are invested in their team and they believe they can make a difference… even when the stress is destroying their health.

If I power through I can make an impact.
My team needs me to be successful.
Even if I leave, it won’t be any better elsewhere.

I’ll regret it.

But will you, if staying costs even more?

Your health.
Your relationships.
Your sense of purpose.

Lie #3: “I’m not qualified for that promotion.”

I hear this from amazing leaders often.

“I don’t have that certification.”
“They’re looking for someone with XYZ experience.”
“I’m probably not ready.”

Meanwhile, less qualified people apply all the time.

Leadership skills can’t be taught overnight.
Technical skills can.

Fear is one of the largest roadblocks to being successful.

It catastrophizes.
It exaggerates risk.
It convinces you to stay where you are.

But here’s a better question to ask:

What will your life look like in a year if nothing changes?

Now imagine taking one courageous step.

A conversation.
A new opportunity.
An investment in yourself.

The future might look very different.

Yes, it’s scary.

But staying stuck is often scarier.

If fear is keeping you from the next step in your leadership or life, let’s talk.

Sometimes the right conversation is all it takes to move forward.

One of the most dangerous signs of burnout in healthcare leadership isn’t stress.

It’s apathy.

During a recent Discovery Call, a healthcare leader shared…

She felt like she was slowly dying in her role.

Not physically… but professionally and emotionally.

The paperwork multiplied.
The pressure increased.
The expectations grew.

And the purpose that once fueled her career began to fade.

She told me:

⚠️ She no longer felt passionate about the work she was doing
⚠️ The organization she worked for no longer aligned with her core values
⚠️ Her contributions felt invisible
⚠️ She was showing up for the paycheck — not the mission
⚠️ The dreams she once had for her career were slipping away

After years of pushing through burnout, she started to question herself.

Her confidence declined.
Her ability to dream of a better life faded.

She began to believe this was just what leadership in healthcare looked like.

She became a client, by the way.

So let me ask you something, healthcare and HR leaders:

Does this sound familiar?

Are you merely surviving in your role rather than thriving?

Have you stopped imagining what a fulfilling career could look like?

Maybe you're telling yourself to hang on until retirement…

Because it feels safer than making a change.

But here's what I believe:

We were not put on this earth to endure our careers.

We are here to thrive in them.

So what’s really stopping you?

Fear?
Loss of confidence?
A high salary that feels too risky to walk away from?
Family responsibilities?

Now ask yourself a harder question:

What will your life look like in six months if nothing changes?
Burnout never fixes itself. 🔥

Are you willing to settle for “a little or a lot worse” every year?

OR

Are you ready to create meaningful change in your life and career?

The choice is yours.

And if you’re not sure where to begin…

I can help. 🪂

HR and healthcare leaders face high-pressure moments every day.

👉 Staffing shortages.
👉 Difficult employee conversations.
👉 Presenting to executives.
👉 Leading teams through constant change.

Those moments can trigger stress, self-doubt, and anxiety.

Ironically, I used to feel that same way about public speaking.

In college, presenting in front of a class of 40–50 students made me so nervous I actually made myself sick.

Today, speaking on stage energizes me.

What changed?

Mental fitness.

Before every presentation, I use simple micro-meditations—breath work and rubbing two fingertips together. In Positive Intelligence®, these are called PQ reps.

They help shift my mindset from anxiety to calm focus.

And they saved me during my first TEDx talk.

Ten seconds into my presentation, the MC shouted from the side of the stage:

“Lisa! Stop!”

My microphone wasn’t on.

She rushed on stage and had to reach behind my jacket to turn it on while the audience watched.

A few years earlier, that moment would have completely derailed me.

Instead, I paused, took a breath, smiled at the audience… and started again.

The irony?

My talk was about managing stress in the moment.

Healthcare and HR leaders face moments like this every day.

Unexpected problems.
High-stakes decisions.
Difficult conversations.

Mental fitness doesn’t remove the pressure.

But it helps you respond with clarity, calm, and confidence instead of reactivity.

Sometimes the smallest practices create the biggest shift.
What helps you reset in stressful moments?
