EP 22 - Lisa Marie Pepe The Confidence Coach

Toni [00:03:31] So tell us a little bit about who you are and what kind of got you on this path. What's your vision? What is it that you're trying to.

Lisa Marie [00:07:12] The surgery is very complicated. The recovery was obviously brutal. It resulted in some nerve damage and some other chronic pain conditions that I still deal with every day. I don't talk about them, but I deal with it every day. And so there I was in 2014 and I looked up at God and I just said, you know what? I don't know what I'm doing. I clearly need your direction, so I'm just going to surrender like I have nothing. I can't force anything to happen anymore

Toni [00:10:44] Absolutely. I love how you found gratitude for even those hard times, because it really does are sometimes those things that give us the greatest strength to really accomplish what it is that we need to to accomplish here. So, share, there's a little bit more about what it is that you do and how it is that you help people.

Toni [00:15:13] I love that and I love how you say that you dove into the personal purse because really how you do one thing is how you're going to do everything. Yeah, if there's issues in one area that you aren't willing to address, then it's going to transfer over. Very true. And so many people, I find, you know, take what they're struggling with and they're able to help other people. And that's really their source of connection and getting out there. So it's it's a great place to start. So tell us a little bit more about your podcast that you're starting.

Lisa Marie [00:21:15] They found my car like four days later in the state capital, completely trashed, completely wrecked in the middle of a pandemic. Yeah. And so, you know, close to ten thousand dollars in damage. And it was a brand new car. So, of course, you know. But I mean, that all happened in about eight weeks. And so I kind of at one point I think it was when my car got stolen that at that point I just started laughing. I did. It sounds crazy, but that was my only response because I had I had been crying for weeks because of my mom. I would be had been crying because of the state of the world. I was so, so disheartened when I found out my foot was broken. He has physical exercise is super important to me. And I felt like, okay, well, they closed all the gyms, but at least I can use my elliptical rider at home. And then that got taken away from me. And I was like. You freaking serious right now?

Toni [00:24:12] I love that strong and powerful and a great message to share with people today is everybody. Everybody has their things that they're going through. Absolutely. Yes. So do you have any tips or advice that you can help people with increasing their resiliency during these times?

Toni [00:28:43] Oh, hugely. It's what an amazing blessing that you can connect with people all over the world and get this opportunity to, you know, hopefully make a positive impact in the world. Exactly. Yes. Now, I'm very grateful for that. I'm grateful for this opportunity. One thing that I've started practicing that I've found to be really useful. Being a mom of four kids and having lots to do, sometimes it's like I have to do this and I have to do that. Just getting out of that habit and not even saying I have to because every day I am so grateful for my kids and I get the opportunity to be there for them and do the things every day. And that simple mindshift has made a world of difference.

Lisa Marie [00:35:45] You know, like, I feel great that everything is falling apart around me, like that's a weird vibe, too. So just be. Be gentle with yourself, but don't do it alone. You don't have to be alone. Not in the world we live in.
