I’m Lisa and I’m glad you’re here. When I was just an eight-year-old kid, my dad used to play motivational stories on cassette tapes as we’d zip around in his sports car on the weekend. From that age I have been drawn to inspirational stories.
Today, with so much negativity in the media and increasing disconnection with one another as a society, I’m more convinced than ever that we need positivity. I created Advice Column to remind you of the virtue you possess.
Join me for a bi-monthly newsletter and podcast conversations that inspire you to connect with the best in yourself, others, and the world!
Advice Column is a nonprofit 501(c)3. Thanks for joining me in this project so we can encourage one another along the journey!
