Description

In this heartfelt episode, Lynn speaks with Australian physiotherapist Lisa Dempsey about her powerful journey through adversity while participating in the Birth Healing Intensive Program. When Lisa’s clinic was struck by a series of challenges, including a devastating fire, she was forced to face her limits, surrender control, and rediscover the power of vulnerability. 


Through the metaphor of “the feather, the brick, and the truck”, Lisa shares how life’s messages escalate until we finally listen, and how choosing to lean into support rather than resist it can change everything. Together, Lynn and Lisa explore the deep interplay between the masculine and feminine, the importance of asking for help, and the healing that comes from feeling and acknowledging shame. Their conversation is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, the light – and our capacity for self-trust – are always present.
