Many women make unseen sacrifices in the name of productivity or acceptance.

Today, Lisa shares the captivating story of The Handless Maiden. In it, a young woman’s father makes a deal with the devil, leading her to lose her hands—a powerful symbol of disconnecting from our true selves. Her healing journey reveals the path back to our natural, intuitive side.

The story reminds us that each character—the maiden, her father, and the devil—reflects a part of ourselves, and reclaiming these parts helps us make choices that honor who we truly are. Tune in!

Let’s flip the script on boundaries. What if you saw them as a way to safeguard what you truly want rather than just keeping things out?

Today, Lisa encourages us to rethink our limits—not as ways to say no, but as tools for saying yes. Yes, to self-care, rest, and our goals. This episode guides you in creating internal boundaries with yourself. By honoring your own commitments, you encourage others to do the same.

If you struggle to protect your peace, health, and happiness, this one’s for you.
