Show Note:
My guest today needs very little introduction — but she deserves every word of it.
Lisa Nichols went from being a single mother on public assistance, struggling to buy nappies for her baby, to building a multi-million dollar global enterprise that has reached more than 88 million people worldwide. She is a New York Times bestselling author, founder and CEO of Motivating the Masses, and one of the featured teachers in The Secret. In December 2024 she became one of the very few African American women to write, produce, and perform a sold-out one-woman Broadway show — When My Soul Speaks.
In this conversation we cover:
- How to find your own “never again” moment when life has already handed you so many
- Grieving the life you thought you’d have by now — and how to release it without getting stuck
- Reclaiming your voice after decades of shrinking — in a marriage, a job, a role
- What to do when you have no spark, no momentum, and no idea what your next chapter looks like
- Who Lisa Nichols calls when she hits the wall — and the moment her own teachings weren’t enough
- What it really means to start over from abundance — and whether that’s lonelier than starting from rock bottom
And stay until the end — Lisa shares a piece she wrote for women stepping into their 60s that had me in tears. It’s a grown woman’s manifesto, and every single one of you needs to hear it.
