She also helps women who are struggling with midlife issues. She helps them seek clarity, confidence, and a renewed purpose.

She's known for her signature healing chair talk. where she helps people have emotional breakthroughs, where she creates safe, sacred spaces, where people can feel seen and heard. Kathy and I wanted to learn more, so we invited her on the show. Welcome, Lisa. Thank you for being with us today.
Thank you so much. I am super excited to be with you, Shelly and Kathy. I appreciate you having me on here, and I'm excited to talk about good topics today for a lot of people.
Oh, absolutely. All of them are, actually. You know, Lisa, you being a nurse, as Kathy was in her previous career, I imagine you saw a lot of things. Nurses are the most compassionate people with all the caregiving they do, and they don't get enough credit. Did that kind of guide you in the path you've taken today? And what's your background so our listeners can get to know you a little better?
Yes, I have been in the healthcare field for over 25 years. I've been a nurse for 24. And prior to that, I did the nursing assistant thing at a hospital, nursing homes, group homes, you name it, I've done it. And now I'm in my transition of cutting back and As most health care workers will understand this, I work a 0.75. So that's 12, 10-hour shifts in a month. Before that, I probably worked 100 hours every two weeks prior to about two years ago. And now I have transitioned into coaching women how to, I call it, to find their midlife happiness. I don't like to call it a crisis. So I put a positive spin on it and I want to show women how they can become anything they want and do anything they want at any age.
And I started this about when I turned 50. I started my transition into coaching, speaking, traveling and starting a new life. It's funny how 50 shifts us, right?
Well, you know, at 50, everything changes. Your whole mindset just takes a whole lesson.
It does. It is amazing and wonderful and nerve wracking all at the same time. The one thing is I teach people to not have fear. Fear is just what goes on in our mind. But when you actually take step forwards, like, you know, at 50, it kind of gives you a clarity of like, you're not going to be in trouble with anybody. You're your own boss.
You said fear, but it's almost like a borderline panic. Oh, my God, I'm 50. Oh, sure. Now what? Like, it's like, holy crap.
What personal experiences led Lisa Sander to transformation coaching?
Right?
Yeah, it's what society puts in our heads, the big 5-0, right? Right.
You know, what really changed me was COVID. As a nurse, I can't tell you how many people that our team did CPR on, watch die daily, and changing what we did every day as science changed everything. It was go in, you would work 16 hours. It wasn't about the money anymore. It was about that patients needed nurses at their side. Besides our own nurses calling in sick due to getting COVID or their family members dying from COVID. So we worked short a lot at the hospital I work at and many other hospitals.
