We tell ourselves that the pressure, the lack of time, and the demands that other people or our careers put on us are what keep us stressed and burned out.

Do you struggle with discipline and consistency? You know what you need to do to better your health, finances, relationship, or career. You may have even started to see results. Still, you return to old habits or a dysfunctional situation. Not being able to stick to your goals isn’t about capability or skills. It’s the fear and discomfort of the unfamiliar that makes obedience so hard.​ In today’s episode, Lisa shares what working in foster care and living in Rome taught her about living in Radical Obedience ™.​ As a social worker, Lisa saw children removed from dangerous and neglectful situations. Every single one wanted to go back because they felt safer in a bad environment that they knew than they did living in better circumstances that were unfamiliar. When working at the US Embassy in Rome, there was a concession with junk food because even though Americans know how dangerous processed food is, they still chose it in Italy because it felt familiar. The bottom line is you have to either get used to unfamiliarity or get used to the consequences of disobedience.​ If you are tired of risking your favor because you’d rather be in a situation you know, instead of doing what you were called to do, this episode is for you. Do new things. Embrace being uncomfortable so you can move forward and live in Radical Obedience ™.    📢CLARITY™ Lab: 5-DAY IMMERSIVE STRESS FOCUS GROUP  If you're curious about how to eliminate stress at its root and want to experiment with real tools, uncover hidden stress triggers, and walk away with a personalized plan for building a life you don’t need a vacation from, click here and get registered for this five-day stress focus group where stress meets strategy.   DISCOVER HOW STRESSED YOU REALLY ARE  Take Lisa’s Mini Stress Assessment designed to support you in your journey to optimize your health by eliminating chronic stress.    COACH ME LIVE SESSION If today’s episode hit home, why not bring your question directly to the mic?

After 10 consecutive transformational years, she has decided to retire that curriculum to focus on coaching aspiring entrepreneurs and driven individuals as they build successful businesses and brands.  Lisa isn’t stopping P.H.A.R.M TO TABLE™ because she is bored or burned out.

Today, Lisa is discussing a sensitive topic: cancer. A cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things anyone has to deal with, whether personally or while supporting a loved one who is ill.  For too long, we have treated cancer like an end-of-the-world disease. But you don’t have to give up all of your power. There are lifestyle adjustments you can make so that your disease doesn’t become your identity and to give yourself a fighting chance to put cancer into remission. Lisa invites her friend John Lewis to join the discussion. He shares his story and why he is passionate about living a plant-based lifestyle. John talks about his mother’s diagnosis of colon cancer and why that jump-started his commitment to veganism and staying active. He offers advice to those battling cancer, including mindset and lifestyle shifts that helped him and his mom through their journey with cancer.  Lisa and John also discuss cancer prevention and the importance of staying in tune with your health. They debunk common misconceptions about plant-based diets, and Lisa outlines the protocol for her 30-Day Plant-Based Vegan SOS Challenge.  Change starts with a choice to take action. You have to believe in your decision to see results. Tune in to learn how an intentional approach to diet, chronic stress, and rest can increase the odds of putting cancer into remission.    CONNECT WITH JOHN LEWIS Website | Instagram | Tiktok | YouTube   JOIN OUR NEXT 30-DAY PLANT-BASED VEGAN SOS CHALLENGE Do you have what it takes to commit to the next Plant Protocol® 30-Day Vegan, Salt, Oil, and Sugar-Free Challenge?

Does your effort, meaning the time, energy, and work you are putting into your goals, match the results? If the answer is no, you have an addiction to working.  You might not think of this as a problem. After all, it is better than the opposite, like never finishing a project or struggling to start. We live in a culture that praises hard work and accomplishment. But overwork leads to burnout, and burnout leads to chronic stress. In this episode, Lisa discusses the addiction to overworking, unbridled ambition, and chronic stress. She shares the beliefs she was holding on to that kept her stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and burnout.  Lisa explains what you can do to combat the new, dangerous, and prevalent lifestyle disease: work addiction. She explains not just how to eliminate chronic stress from feeling like you are never doing enough, but also how to make sure you don’t return to the mindset of doing too much. If you are constantly pushing yourself to hit goals and be successful, but feel like your ambition is getting in the way of your health and peace, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the five things that compel you to overwork and over-commitment, and how to balance your drive with your health.   JOIN OUR NEXT 30-DAY PLANT-BASED VEGAN SOS CHALLENGE Do you have what it takes to commit to the next Plant Protocol® 30-Day Vegan, Salt, Oil, and Sugar-Free Challenge?
