Send us a text

In Part 5 of the Let Them Theory coaching series, Lisa explores one of the most challenging areas of personal growth — how to let go of control while still influencing the people we love.

Whether it’s your partner, your kids, or a friend, trying to motivate someone to change can often backfire — and leave you feeling frustrated, anxious, and exhausted.

In this episode, Lisa breaks down Mel Robbins’ neuroscience-backed approach for how we shift from pressure to influence, using practical coaching tools like:

• The 5 Whys
• The ABC Loop
• Letting go of control while inspiring real change

If you’ve ever felt trapped between wanting the best for someone but knowing you can’t force it — this episode is for you.

🌟 A message from Lisa:
I’ve faced many challenges in life, experiencing love and laughter, to heartache and perseverance. Each experience has shaped me, teaching resilience, growth and compassion for others.
Here’s a quick look at my journey:
- My parents divorced when I was 2.
- I won a drama school scholarship at 18, pursuing my dream of working in TV.
- I travelled solo through Southeast Asia and Australia, facing a near-death experience along the way!
- I adapted to life as a single parent after my beautiful daughter’s birth in 2006 and built a career in Commercial Real Estate.
- I reconnected with a childhood friend who had lost his first wife. In 2011 we married and became a blended family and I became a step parent to my 2 eldest children whom I love dearly.
- I helped expand my brother’s wedding business to Mallorca and began bodybuilding, competing in 2016 and 2017.
- I now work as a Director in the Flexible Office industry and am building my coaching practice and podcast.
- My next goal is to move to Spain and create a life by the sea!

💫 I’ve learned that life is full of opportunities if you just look up and reach for them.
Let me help you discover yours ❤️
