Reconnect with the self
that's got buried under years of shoulds
Card decks, workshops and retreats for women who are done with making do.
Life has a habit of getting in the way.
Losing yourself happens gradually.
It's a bit like the inner thighs of your favourite jeans
Tiny moments of friction.
Day after day. Month after month.
You barely notice it's happening.
Until one day there's a hole where there wasn't one before.
Saying yes when you'd rather say no.
Putting everyone else first.
Saying yes when you'd rather say no.
Putting everyone else first.
Making do.
Keeping the peace.
Making do.
Keeping the peace.
Shrinking yourself to fit.
One compromise at a time.
Shrinking yourself to fit.
One compromise at a time.
Somewhere along the way, life has left you feeling threadbare and you wonder…
When did I stop feeling like me?
You haven't really lost yourself. Life has simply squished you into forgetting.
I'm Lisa and I've been where you are
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
To lose yourself so gradually you don't notice, and spend years quietly putting yourself at the bottom of the list.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
To lose your confidence, your self-belief and your sense of self-worth.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
To end up living a life that doesn't fit, because somewhere along the way you forgot your own needs mattered too.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
To stand in front of a wardrobe full of clothes and feel completely disconnected from the woman in the mirror.
That's why I do what I do. I don't want everything I went through to have been for nothing.
Welcome to the Funky Diva Vibes® movement
It isn't about becoming someone else. It's about connecting with the wiser, freer version of yourself.
A PHILOSOPHY BUILT ON ONE SIMPLE BELIEF
YOU ALREADY
have the power.
YOU ALREADY
have the sparkle.
YOU ALREADY
know who you are.
Life just has a habit of making you forget.
My job isn't to change you.
My job is simply to help you remember.
I call it
Unsausaging
Spot
where life has squished you.
Split
away from the stories and 'shoulds' that no longer fit.
Sizzle
into your Funky Diva era.
Unsausaging doesn't always arrive wearing sequins and making grand announcements.
Sometimes it's...
Wearing leopard print trainers because they make you smile.
Saying 'no, thank you' without feeling guilty.
Replying to a message tomorrow instead of immediately.
Drinking your cup of tea while it's still hot.
Choosing your best perfume on an ordinary Tuesday.
Booking the workshop you've been talking yourself out of.
Your permission slip is here. I found it at the bottom of your handbag, hiding amongst the screwed-up receipts, used tissues and pens that don't work.
Permission slip
This is granting permission for you…
To stop making do.
To stop shrinking.
To stop waiting for someone else to tell you it's your turn.
To choose yourself without apology.
Because it's not selfish. It's necessary.
The happiest, healthiest, most authentic Funky Diva version of you creates a ripple effect that reaches everyone around you.
You've heard the saying
You can't pour from an empty cup
So imagine your cup full enough to overflow into the saucer. You can give generously, without losing yourself in the process.
YOU ALREADY
have the power.
YOU ALREADY
have the sparkle.
YOU ALREADY
know who you are.
My work is to help you remember...
Where would you like to begin?
Or just have a read and reconnect →
This isn't about changing who you are.
It's about coming home to yourself.
Because nobody else can do that for you.
I'd love to walk alongside you while you remember just who the hell you are
