My Name is Lisa

As a Stage IV Colon Cancer survivor — thriving nine and one-half years NED — I have walked the path of resilience, transformation, and sacred purpose. From my early days as a Lunch Lady to leadership as a School Administrator, from Life Navigator to Positive Psychology Practitioner, as an ordained Reverend of the Alliance of Divine Love Interfaith Church, and now as a Master of Metaphysical Science graduate from the University of Metaphysical Sciences, every chapter has deepened my calling to serve.

Today, as an aspiring author, speaker, and founder of Lee Lee’s Life Lessons and Joyful Collective Studios, I offer gentle guidance to those ready to live with intention, joy, and authenticity. Alongside my loving partner Jim, and our two spirited Yorkies, Jack and Lila, I walk this journey rooted in love, laughter, tears, and unwavering hope.

I draw from a deep well of lived experience, overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences, a Stage IV cancer diagnosis, the isolation of the pandemic, and even Hurricane Helene. These moments didn’t break me, they braided me into someone whole. I am here to remind you that you are not broken either. You are wise. You are whole. You are ready.

My work bridges the reflective insights of metaphysics with evidence-based approaches such as Positive Psychology, the PERMA-V model, and trauma-informed care. Through this blend of spiritual depth and measurable well-being science, I help you strengthen your inner voice, rediscover the tools already within you, and step into your life with clarity and courage. Together, we celebrate your milestones, navigate your healing, and reclaim your power to thrive — fully present in each sacred breath.

So, Let Us Play! Let’s laugh, dance, sing, and celebrate our heartbeats. Let us build lives rich in meaning, resilience, and joy.

With love, laughter, and hugs,
