The Journey Back to You: Finding Yourself Again in Midlife with Lisa Pulliam
What happens when the life that looks successful from the outside no longer feels like yours?For Lisa Pulliam, that realization came while standing on a beach in South Texas.She had built a successful business, led a team of more than 2,000 consultants and customers, spoken on major stages, and checked many of the boxes we're told represent success.But behind the accomplishments, Lisa was burned out.Her health was suffering. Her marriage was strained. One of her children was struggling. And somewhere in the relentless striving, performing, achieving, and showing up for everyone else, Lisa realized she had lost touch with herself.In this deeply personal episode of Casa De Confidence, Julie DeLucca-Collins sits down with Lisa for a conversation about burnout, people pleasing, midlife reinvention, motherhood, grief, social media, finding purpose, and what Lisa calls "the journey back to me."Lisa shares why she believes peace is an essential measure of success, how she began separating her worth from her accomplishments, and why sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is become quiet enough to hear ourselves again.They also explore Lisa's 30-day social media experiment, her practice of "Soul Time," morning pages, learning to surrender what we cannot control, and why the second half of life may actually become our most meaningful chapter.In This EpisodeThe moment Lisa realized her successful life wasn't working anymoreWhat burnout can look like when everything appears fine from the outsideWhy achievement and accomplishment don't necessarily create peaceHow people pleasing contributes to burnoutSeparating your identity from what you accomplishWhy Lisa deleted social media from her phone for 30 daysWhat happened when she stopped reaching for her phone every morningLisa's "Soul Time" practice for reconnecting with yourselfThe power of silence, mindfulness, nature, and morning pagesCarrying emotional "bricks" that were never yours to carryMotherhood, grief, surrender, and letting go without losing yourselfWhy feeling your emotions is part of healingRediscovering purpose in the second half of lifeWhy small moments can create enormous meaningWhat Lisa wishes she could tell her 40-year-old selfMemorable Quotes"If in the middle of that there is no peace, then I say there is no success.""You are enough just as you are.""Feeling our feelings is the beginning of healing.""Surrendering is an act of trust.""Until you breathe your last breath on this planet, there is a purpose for you."🔗 Connect with Lisa PulliamWebsite:http://www.lisacarolpulliam.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisa.b.pulliamFree Offer:Sparkle in Mid-Life E-Guide: 7 secrets to a life that Lights your soulhttps://sendfox.com/LisaCarolPulliamI want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode.
