Welcome to the very first episode of this type of interview! In this new addition to the podcast, I ask guests a lightening round of straight forward questions about how they came to be able to live a life doing what they were meant to.
Not just the pretty and clean version, but the for real, for real version - challenges, doubts and realistic things like how they were able to pay their bills.
Lisa Hillyer from Episode 168: Re-Awakening To Inner Truth shares with us what her journey really looked like from being an interior designer to coach to yoga teacher to spiritual mentor & high priestess.
In this episode you will learn what resources Lisa recommends to get over money mindset struggles and why she actually never actually felt like giving up (which is so rare!).
See below for key nuggets and takeaways.

If you haven’t already downloaded the PDF list of books that Lisa recommends, download it here. She actually ended up recommending 8 books throughout both parts of the interview and I’ve put them together for you based on category.

3 Noteworthy Takeaways:
When I asked her if she had a plan when she first started, Lisa said “I didn’t know what I was doing but it didn’t feel like an option to stop”. This is noteworthy because when you follow what your soul is calling for it’s not always linear and mapped out step by step like we’re used to. It took me a while to learn to follow the feeling in your body instead because that’s the navigation of your soul.
Because Lisa embraced the hard parts, the challenges she came across didn’t seem so hard…or at least not any harder than they had to be. I think that’s noteworthy because often times we come across an obstacle which might be hard but what makes it harder is the doubt that begins to creep in and the fear thoughts that, that instigates (ex. “it’s not working so that means I’m not cut out for this” “I’ll never get there…”.)
You don’t get the whole map right off the get-go so you just need to follow what feels right to you, right now and trust that the best that you can do is enough. Even if you did have a whole plan of where you want to land, do what I offered up in the first bullet and make sure that you keep checking in with your body’s compass! It’s almost a sure thing that the way you want it to happen probably isn’t the way that it will happen. There will be turns and pivots because you learn more as you move forward.
