What happens when you stop performing and start becoming?

This year wasn't just about starting a podcast—it was about coming home to myself. And in this intimate year-end reflection, I'm pulling back the curtain on what that journey has really looked like.

I'm sharing the messy truth about boundaries (they're not what I thought), the practice of presence over perfection, and what self-love actually requires when you stop treating it like a buzzword. I'm talking about forgiveness as a daily practice, not a one-time event. About releasing the weight of expectations that were never mine to carry.

But here's where it gets deeper: I'm opening up about stepping into Empress energy—what it means to rule your own life with wisdom and grace, to lead rather than just manage. And how finding clarity through a transformative Mastermind changed everything about my path forward into 2026.

This isn't a highlight reel. It's a love letter to the journey, to growth, to you. It's about what becomes possible when we choose ourselves, claim our clarity, and build from a place of alignment rather than obligation.

If you've been waiting for permission to become more fully yourself, to stop shrinking, to trust your own voice—this one's for you.

What does it take to own your story when the world tells you to follow a different path? At just 6 years old, Lisa Neitzel knew she wanted to be a film director—but when she discovered it was predominantly a man's world, she faced a choice: give up on her dreams or rewrite them. She chose courage over conformity.

From TV news anchor to entrepreneur, Lisa's journey is a masterclass in owning your narrative. After years in the spotlight, she craved something different—a work-life rhythm that honored both her ambitions and her growing family. Drawing on entrepreneurial roots that run deep (both her grandfather and father owned businesses), she founded Surge Communications, Innovations, & Online Services with a mission: to help others tell their stories through high-quality, affordable marketing.

In this honest, heart-felt conversation, Lisa opens up about the courage it takes to pivot, the creativity required to build something from scratch, and why communication is truly at the heart of everything we do. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a dreamer, or someone searching for more balance, Lisa's story will inspire you to own yours.

In the middle of the holiday rush, the long to-do lists, the expectations, and the constant noise and demands of life… it’s so easy to lose touch with ourselves. We move through the day doing all the things, caring for all the people, but deep inside there’s this quiet whisper that's waiting for us to listen.

In today’s episode of Whole Mom, we slow everything down and come back home to our inner wisdom—that calm, grounded part of us that knows what truly matters. I’m sharing the one simple question that’s been helping me get out of the overwhelm and reconnect with myself in the most gentle, practical way.

Together, we’ll explore why we get swept up in urgency, how to rebuild self-trust, and how to tell the difference between what’s loud and what’s true.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, a little disconnected, or like you’re giving from an empty cup… this is your reminder that your inner knowing is still there, patiently waiting for you.

Take a breath. Take what resonates. Leave the rest.
And know you’re not doing any of this alone. 🤍
