My sister's new website, and Becky's new book

Happy Thursday Reader... Firstly, I'm SUPER excited to announce that, my sister just launched her first-ever online business! I'd say it was her first business, but my sister and I had our first money-making side hustles when we were kids. To be clear, I have nothing to do with her site. I'm not her coach. She is totally doing this on her own and I was honored that she consented to letting me share it with you. She's a pretty private person (she doesn't do ANY social media!), so I'm really happy to see her stepping out of her comfort zone and into her growth zone on this project. She's been designing T-shirts If you have a moment to spare, please visit and drop her a "congratulations" using the contact form on the site. She'd appreciate a warm welcome to the interwebs. And I appreciate your show of support for my sister! In other news... In "The Great Inbetween" that I find myself in right now, I'm having a LOT of conversations with all kinds of business owners. Big business, municipalities, non-profits, coaches, and more. Each of these convos is shaping my thoughts around what's next for business life after Creative Freedom. I've been invited to co-host a business podcast with someone I admire, among other things, and it's a time filled with promise for the future. While I won't go into any details about MY future direction here (my brand strategist would strangle me!), I AM sharing one of those conversations with you today. I met Becky Mollencamp YEARS ago, when I spoke inside her online community. Since that time, she's gone through a journey of unpacking some of the old ways she learned of doing business. That journey led her to write her book, Liberate Your Business: A radical guide for entrepreneurs who want to build without harm. In our interview, we talk about many of the concepts in the book, along with some of my favorite quotes from it. Plus we wrestle with the importance of giving credit where credit is due (particularly to underrepresented or marginalized voices), when you should call out a problematic business owner, and when you should probably "close your mouth and stay in your lane". Enjoy! - Lisa P.S. You can show major LOVE to Becky's book by requesting it from your local library. That's a free way to support authors with messages that matter to you. |

Happy SundayReader... I am slowly getting used to Jim working the weekends. When he accepted his new position, it meant working Saturday and Sunday.I try to have a schedule that mostly matches his, so now, my "weekend" is Monday and Tuesday. I still have a few trailing commitments on my calendar, but for the most part, our weekends are the same again.And since most of the rest of the world is OFF on Saturday and Sunday, it means I can really hunker down and FOCUS on those days... after I take...
Hey there Reader... I'm sitting in my office, trying to hold onto a feeling for just a little bit longer. I just completed the final coaching call with a long-time client. I've known her for decades. She joined my email list back when I was working exclusively with direct sellers. She was one of the first people to step into my Incubator when it launched back in the day. She "graduated" into a regular consulting client a few years ago. She and I have watched each other pivot, shift, and...
Heya Reader... Since I got home from my Chicago retreat, one thing became incredibly clear: Creative Freedom has run its course. I mean, I kind of already knew it before I went, but talking about the future of my work (and my life, to be frank), really solidified the decision for me. A decision I'd been circling for years, if I'm honest. For 10 years, across 8 seasons, the Creative Freedom Show was built to inspire and prepare creatives across the spectrum to have a business that works for...
