Honestly Lisa is an audio road trip through my soul... or just an excuse to talk to people to help figure out who I am at 53ish.
I talk to everyone from ex-boyfriends, lovers, family member to comedians, writers, filmmakers, mystics, guru's in the hopes of finding a path that feels right for my life.
My hope is in my quest for enlightenment/happiness/peace/contentment my conversations will help you feel better about your life.
I love comments and feedback! And don't forget to check out honestlylisa.com, there is much more.
Please feel free to share and leave a comment on itunes. I love when you do!
