Some journeys don’t just inspire, they redefine what’s possible. Lisa Holley Palmer went from being homeless with a young child, a bag of clothes and £250 to her name to becoming the Editor of Mind Jump Magazine and the driving force behind a groundbreaking dating platform.

In this episode Lisa shares the reality of what it takes to rebuild a life from the ground up. She talks about leaving abusive relationships, facing rock bottom, and finding the courage to start again with nothing. She also opens up about the breakthroughs that came through therapy, the discipline it took to rewire her thinking, and the practical steps that carried her from survival mode to building a business with global impact.

What makes Lisa’s story so powerful is the way she has turned every setback into fuel for creating something better, not just for herself but for others. Whether it was stacking shelves at dawn, teaching herself the skills she needed at night, or taking the leap into elite matchmaking, every stage of her journey reflects resilience and reinvention.

Now, through Mind Jump Magazine, she is creating spaces where people can find hope, share real stories and build relationships on a foundation of trust, healing and shared values.

This is a conversation about courage, recovery and the refusal to let circumstance dictate your future. Lisa’s story proves that it is never too late to start again and build a life that is not only successful but meaningful.
