This week’s podcast is a deeply personal one.

I’m sharing a vulnerable story about reading Jen Hatmaker’s Awake and the unexpected emotional spiral that followed. What began as admiration turned into tears, comparison, an Enneagram 4 revelation (hello, melancholy and meaning-making 😆).

Along the way, I talk about the beautiful reality of building dreams while still carrying in the folding chairs yourself… and yes, with much love, admit that if putting asses in seats is what helps women gather, heal, laugh, and come alive again… apparently I’m your chair-carrying girl! 😆🪑✨

If you’ve ever felt behind, questioned your path, or compared your journey to someone else’s, this episode is for you.

And I’m also joined by the brave and inspiring Julie LaMeng, who shares her own story of pain, healing, and stepping into her voice through music and courage. Thanks in part to the inspiration and mentorship of Karen Drucker, Julie is creating songs of hope and facing fears in beautiful ways.

This episode is about awakening, authenticity, and remembering that being an adorable badass doesn’t mean having it all figured out… it means showing up anyway.

💛 Come pull up a chair with us!

She’s not a celebrity. She’s real. And in this honest conversation, she shares what it looks like to face fear, find her voice, and speak up even when it’s uncomfortable.

If you’ve ever questioned yourself, held back, or wondered if your voice matters… this episode will feel like sitting down with a friend who gets it.

Because the truth is—she’s not so different from you.

And that means… you can do this, too!

AKA: Top 10 Things a Birthday Cruise Reminded Me About Life, Joy, and This Pivotal Year!

After my birthday cruise, I took a few days to reflect and what came through surprised me. In this episode, I share the 10 things I’ve learned and remembered about joy, gratitude, friendship, age, astrology, chaos, courage, and how to return to yourself in a world that feels loud.

We’re in a powerful, transformational year. Big shifts. Big feelings. Big invitations.

This is an episode about hope, honesty, play, peace, and why dancing through hard seasons might be one of the most spiritual things we can do.

I also share a special call-out to one of my adorable badass friends who is now dancing in heaven. 

I share the story of my tree as a symbol of growth, noticing the signs around you, and setting intentions that feel rooted and true.

This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to force what’s next. You’re supported. You’re guided. And you’re allowed to begin again in a way that feels aligned and authentic.

✨ Set an intention.
 🌳 Trust the whisper.
 💫 Welcome 2026 as your most adorable badass self.

✨ A holiday wish just for you
✨ A reminder to take it easy after a chaotic year
✨ A simple Christmas Eve Eve ritual to invite peace and joy
✨ A song to dance it out and reset your energy
✨ And a look at 2025 as a powerful 9 year of completion, clearing, and release… as we quietly prepare for the fresh beginning of 2026

You don’t need to fix everything before the year ends.
You don’t need to have clarity yet.
You only need to show up with kindness for yourself.

Take a listen when you can, maybe with a cup of something warm… and if you feel the nudge, let yourself move, sway, or dance a little too.

In my newest episode of the Be an Adorable Badass podcast, I’m talking all about how to tap into your inner child, your inner elf, and yes… your inner “I will absolutely eat pancakes for dinner and dare you to judge me” queen.

This month’s Have the Spirit of Elf calendar (you can download it here!) is a daily invitation to:
✨ be playful
✨ be authentic
✨ be mischievously kind
✨ create magic for yourself and others
✨ and laugh like the world isn’t watching

Because joy isn’t childish — it’s powerful.

 Play isn’t frivolous — it’s transformational.

 And a woman who knows how to laugh, dance, and delight?

 She’s unstoppable.

In this heartfelt return, Lisa shares why it’s perfectly okay to step away, pause, or color outside the lines — because joy and growth don’t always follow the rules. She reflects on the recent Camp Atta Girl! weekend, the women who showed up with courage and open hearts, and the ripple of kindness they created that continues to spread far beyond the retreat.

You’ll also meet Trisha Higgins, a Camp Atta Girl! alum whose experience inspired her to launch Cards of Kindness — a simple yet powerful movement to bring more love and light into the world, one handwritten note at a time.

This episode is a reminder that sometimes the most “adorable badass” thing you can do is trust your rhythm, follow your joy, and let your kindness become a revolution.

Together, we’ll dive into what it means to recognize your vastness, your power, and the truth that you hold the whole universe within you. Too often we feel small, invisible, or like just one more drop in the crowd. But the ocean doesn’t apologize for its waves — and neither should you.

I’ll share reflections from the shoreline, weaving the wisdom of water into how you can flow through life with more grace, strength, and sparkle. Because when you remember you are the ocean in a drop, you stop shrinking and start shimmering. I'll even share a little meditation and sound from the waves!

✨ Tune in and let’s ride the waves together!

In this episode, I dive into Rumi’s powerful reminder: “What’s meant to be will always find its way. Always.” I’m sharing how this truth has danced its way into my own life recently.

When I launched The AbunDANCE Path seven months ago, my focus was on increasing revenue. Instead, I received soul-level opportunities that lit me up in ways money never could.

This is a story about trust, timing, and letting go of the “how” so the Universe can surprise you. If you’ve ever wondered whether what’s meant for you will actually find you — this one’s your sign.

In this solo episode, host Lisa Sullivan opens her heart and the mic to talk about why she started Be an Adorable Badass — and why now, more than ever, we need to raise our voices, stand in our power, and be the soul of wherever we are.

Inspired by Rumi’s timeless words — “Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place” — this episode is a call to lightworkers, truth-tellers, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world.

It’s not a time for hopelessness.
It’s a time for rest and return.
For fierce tenderness.
For speaking up.
For starting within.

Lisa wraps the episode with another powerful Rumi quote:
 “And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?”
… and invites you to take the next step on your journey.

If your soul’s been nudging you, this is your sign.

In this episode, we explore why it’s so hard to see what’s right in front of us. Why our brains play hide-and-seek with the obvious. Why fear and old stories fog up our inner lens. And how one simple act can change everything.

Our guest, the incredible Noreen Kelty, knows this better than anyone. She has a wonderful ritual and she’s about to celebrate a BIG MILESTONE on July 24th!

Noreen shares her story and she does it all with wisdom, heart, and a thick, no-nonsense Noo Yawk accent that’ll have you laughing and nodding at the same time. Noreen brings the sass, the soul, and the kind of straight talk that only a woman with a fun NY accent can deliver. We talk about how her ritual can start being your ritual. 

This episode is for anyone who’s ready to stop searching outside and start seeing themselves clearly.

Because the love, the power, the magic? It’s been there all along.

Karen shares her powerful mantra: “Things work out… until they don’t.” And oh, do we explore what happens next—how to gracefully (and sometimes messily) pivot, shift directions, and realign with what truly brings you joy.

Whether you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or just ready for a joy reboot, this episode is your gentle nudge (or loving shove) to embrace change with open arms and a full heart.

Because sometimes, the pivot is the path.

In this special solo episode of the Be an Adorable Badass podcast, I’m diving into what it means to step into your light, claim your confidence, and rise without apology — just like the sun.

✨ Let go of what’s been dimming you
 ✨ Reconnect to your inner fire
 ✨ Say YES to your bold, radiant self

You were never meant to stay small... You were born to shine!

I’m sharing a powerful reminder that life isn’t about playing it safe — it’s about stepping boldly, loving deeply, and letting go of the "should haves." Plus, meet Ellen Gray, confidence coach extraordinaire, who joins us to share practical (and empowering!) tips to quiet self-doubt and own your worth, no matter what stage of life you're in.

This is your Mother's Day love note + pep talk + badass toolkit all rolled into one.

Tune in, laugh a little, get inspired — and remember: You’re allowed to take up space, make bold moves, and live regret-free.

We're talking all about ditching the waiting game and stepping out of your comfort zone now! No more overthinking. No more "maybe later." It's time to leave tomorrow and step boldly into your life today! 

I also sit down with the radiant Krista Marx, a woman who truly embodies light, joy, and the badassery of choosing happiness—even in the hard moments. We talk about what it means to find joy on purpose, why being present matters, and how to keep your inner spark lit. She is an every day woman, who embraces the “pause” in life and embodies the words “so much goodness.”

If you're feeling stuck, hesitant, or just craving a little inspiration to take the leap, this episode is your nudge from the universe!
