My Story: From Brokenness to Breakthrough

(and How It Can Be Yours Too)

Hey friends! I’m Lisa, and I’m thrilled you’re here. You know, life rarely hands us a perfect script. Mine certainly didn’t. Growing up, I experienced things that no child should – a home that should have been safe became a place of abuse. I carried that feeling of “not enough” for far too long. But here’s the thing: even in those dark times, a tiny voice inside whispered, “You’re meant for more”. 

That whisper fueled a journey – through the military, marriage, motherhood, and a relentless pursuit of success. I climbed the ladder, earned the degrees, became a healthcare executive. Yet, I still felt a void. Success and titles weren’t the answer. 

What was the answer? Purpose. Realizing that changed everything. It’s why I became a John Maxwell Certified Coach and created “Empowered to Change.” I’m here to tell you: your past doesn’t define you – your resilience does. If you’re ready to break free and discover your own breakthrough, you’re in the right place.
