About the Guest:

Lisa Simone Richards is the co-founder and CEO of Pearl Spark Pages, a luxury stationery brand designed to help female founders push past imposter syndrome, increase self-confidence, and build thriving businesses through mindful self-reflection.

After 2 decades as a publicist helping women-led startups gain visibility, Lisa found herself grappling with the very challenge she had coached so many founders through—imposter syndrome. Even with years of experience, she recognized how deeply our inner dialogue shapes our reality, influencing how we show up in business and in life.

Determined to shift that narrative, she developed a journalling framework to help women entrepreneurs cultivate confidence, self-trust, and authenticity. This became the foundation of Pearl Spark Pages.

Through beautifully designed paper products, Lisa’s mission is to empower female founders to embrace their true potential—one page at a time.
