You'll never feel ready to begin. You just decide. In this episode, Lisa shares the behind-the-scenes of her Build Your Clear Vision book launch — which hit bestseller status in multiple categories — and the deeper lesson that emerged from that milestone: readiness is not a feeling, it's a decision. She opens up about what it really takes to move from dreaming to doing, how women can release the pressure to "save the world," and why accountability, structure, and self-care are the secret ingredients to turning vision into reality. You'll also hear about the Clear Vision Builders Book Club, an 8-week live experience co-led by Lisa and meditation coach Derrick Yanford. Together, they'll help you build your Clear Vision from concept to completion with practical strategy, soulful guidance, and embodied practices that keep you grounded and in flow. In this episode: The truth about "feeling ready" and what it actually means to start The moment Lisa realized that aligned action matters more than saving the world How radical self-care fuels creative productivity Why accountability is the missing link between clarity and completion What you'll experience inside the Clear Vision Builders Book Club If you're ready to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start building what matters most, this conversation is for you.
