"I was wondering where my book was going when I started working with Lisa. She helped me see the book come together better than I thought. It's been quite a journey and one that I couldn't have done without her. Our calls are one of the highlights of my week. I really enjoy them and they set up the week so well to go and write the chapter. This experience is transformative, and I know will shape the rest of my life."
