What if the most powerful thing you could do for your business today was to stop hiding parts of yourself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Dunford Dickman, traveler, life coach, art medicine woman, and African safari retreat leader. Lisa spent 15 years as an author of over 40 Lonely Planet travel guidebooks before following a deeper calling into transformational coaching and retreats.

Today, she leads people to connect with the animals' wisdom, awaken deep wonder and return home forever changed, embodying how divinely loved they truly are.

Lisa shares her “Lessons from Lions” the philosophy she built after life-changing encounters with African wildlife. She explains why compartmentalizing keeps us stuck, how to align our business with our true values, and why giving yourself permission to be all of who you are makes you more magnetic both in business and in life.

This conversation isn’t just about strategy, it goes straight to the heart of what it takes to build a business that energizes you, lights you up, and radiates your personal joy out to the people you serve.

Key Takeaways:

• Bring All of You: You’re more powerful when you integrate your passions, values, and creativity into your business.
• Stop Compartmentalizing: Your business, hobbies, and personal values all feed each other, they’re not separate.
• Follow what lights you up: The things that energize you personally can become the most magnetic part of your business.
• Serve Yourself First: When your business fuels and inspires you, you naturally attract and impact others.
• Lead With Values: Identify your values and build your business out from there.
• Pause before action. Taking a breath and centering yourself can shift everything about how you respond.
• Energy is Contagious: The state you embody is felt by customers and shapes their experience.
• Experiment often: Try new things, see what aligns, and let go of what doesn’t.
• Give yourself permission: You don’t need outside approval to be who you are.
