Real Results

Wild Ascent was a great way to turn from being recently laid off, feeling pressured to "figure it out" and jump into the next job, to...letting myself explore what I love, what I want to do next, and being ok just trying things and not having to figure out my whole life right now. I am way more confident in who I am, what I bring to the table, and what I value. The other women were supportive, brought new insights and reframing, and were fun to be with each week during a time of big changes in my life.

She was pigeon-holing herself into one type of role and sector, feeling stuck. 

 

She had dreams of making space for her art, and continuing to do meaningful work in social impact that still gave her family that gave her family financial freedom.

Real Impact

Leading with Confidence

From self-doubt ruling to leading with full-body confidence, landing interviews with organizations she loves and making space to volunteer in nature with other badass women!

 

Before: [I was] really needing an "infusion of good energy" and encouragement to believe that I can still 'right the ship' in my career.' I felt doomed to allow self doubt to rule my world and settle for less than I know I am worth.

 

After: I celebrate feeling so much more calm and meeting my Future Wiser Self - knowing that She is Me. I do have a greater sense of my values and feel more solid in letting them lead me. In job interviews - and in Life - I am confident about speaking from and about my values.

 

If she can find her calm, confidence and purpose, so can you!

Leaping into New Business

From hiding to leaping into a new business! Tara busted through her fear to take action and live her wild dream of teaching parents emotional regulation, so we can raise a healthier next generation. 

 

Before: I was feeling very tentative. I knew what I wanted to do, but felt like what I wanted was too much.

 

After: I feel more sure of taking the steps without worrying about achieving some far off dream. I really like the framing of small actionable steps. That small shift has allowed me to register a business, build and share my company website, and tell people about a business venture that I was keeping secret out of fear.

 

If she can bring her wild dreams to life, so can you!

If you're ready to start living the next chapter of your wild life, then this is your chance! (Limited spots!)

Why This?

Lisa was the coach that I needed when I hit a career crossroads!

 

Lisa’s superpower is to listen deeply, meet you where you are, and guide you to understand a more honest version of yourself. She brought energy, thoughtfulness, compassion, and humor to each of our sessions and I always left feeling more confident about the road ahead.

 

I’m really excited about my new career trajectory that didn’t seem possible before working with Lisa. I’m so thankful that we worked together!” 

Why Now?

"In the midst of a whole lot of uncertainty, isolation and exhaustion, I've found a new sense of belonging that I know I can take anywhere with me. Lisa guided us, but we ended up holding space for one another. 

 

It feels amazing to know other women on such a deep level and I'm excited to see how each of them change the world next.”
