Someone who is self aware enough to know what their right path is, and having the discipline to work for it. And someone who does it while helping others in their path too.
Hi Lisa. I never even thought of being a total package. Lol. My only desire was being close to God, happy, hard worker (before I retired), good mom to my son and independent;)
Lisa, I want to share a very personal part of my life with you and those who will read this post. I share it not for sympathy, but to hopefully touch others who have or who are going thru the same circumstances. I have always been a "Daddy's Girl", even writing those words brings me joy. Anyway....in May of 2015, my amazing dad was diagnosed w/Late Onset Dementia. Sadly, on July 27, 2015, just two months later, my dad took his own life. Our family was crushed and my/our life would never be the same. I quit working to take care of my ailing mom and was blessed to have been here (along w/my sister) with her for over 2 years, before her passing on Feb. 25, 2017. I say all of this because to me "The Total Package" has changed in my life. To wake up and no longer here "This is my daughter, Mindy" by my dad or my mom was crushing. I don't know how to explain the feeling...I am no longer anyone's daughter. So, in this part of my life, the "Total Package" is that I am a mom, grandma, sister, aunt and friend & daughter of my parents. Hugs...
Lisa this is so wonderful! I love the direction that you are taking your channel in. I really can’t put into words how hopeful and inspired I feel by you! I am so thankful that I somehow found you a couple of years ago. Thank you so very much for sharing all of your knowledge and wisdom with us. It’s appreciated more than you know and I’m happy to have you as a mentor!
Completely agree at how cutting out the news is so life changing. I was obsessed with the news for so many years, stopped listening over a year ago and found myself less cynical and depressed. I do occasionally check news app on my phone for a few mins but mostly nothing.
Lisa, I love that you mix everything up. I love all your ideas ! I think the best thing about your channel is that you never know what you are going to see! It’s real life and it’s always interesting and good. Girl just keep doing what you are doing. I love your boat trips with your dad and I love you covering John cooking and everything else !!
Last year, I purged thru my Instagram and stopped following a lot of influencers, celebrities & brands. It gave me such a false sense of reality and skewed what’s truly valuable and important. Instead of being inspired, it made me feel bad about myself and made me feel unhappy, discontent, & judgmental. After that initial purge, I took it a step further and unfollowed all accounts that didn’t bring me personal joy and inspiration (some of them were people I personally knew) I carried this audit on TH-cam too. With that said, I love your channel and Ive been so inspired by you. Keep being you!
Yes! Your channel is so amazing! You deserve to have millions and millions of subscribers. Its sush a useful information for us - women. We all need energy and insperation.
Lisa this video was excellent and so profound. It's so cool because I really feel like God has blessed you so that what you say carries weight. Whenever I watch your videos your thoughts/opinions/advice really sticks and resonates with me. I lost my mom 10 years ago and have found comfort in having you as an an online friend :)
Videos like today are exactly why I am a faithful viewer, you are real and relatable to so many women, You are so right on about the "seasons" of life, all of what you said is so true. Learning to adjust and change in each season can be a challenge but with help and information, thoughts like yours it is so doable. Thank you!
I love these videos! I needed to her this. Over 200 days in lockdown (Australia) over the past year, tends to chip away at who you are. Thank you Lisa for inspiring and uplifting :-)
It’s crazy that you have made all of these changes…I’ve done the same exact things 2 years ago!!! I read my Bible every morning and it really has turned the stress of the world away! My walk with Jesus has made me a much happier person and I don’t miss TV at all!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
Hi Lisa, I’ve been a subscriber for over 10 years. I was going through a divorce in 2011 and would escape for 25 minutes by watching your videos. I loved and still do your southern accent and how genuine you are. You are truly a blessing for so many of us. Sending you love from a 50 year old Woman in California 💗🦋
Wow do your words resonate with me about the housewives and the news… I still watch but realize that it takes a toll on my energy. Why spend our precious time on things that don’t feed your soul? Thanks for the positive reminder 🙌🏼
Loved this video sooooo much!!!! Really needed this right now. Trying to build back up my self confidence and except and enjoy my 50s. I let my devotion time slide too and building my study time with God back to what it was. Your recent videos have truly been helping realize that my time on this earth is not getting less but that my journey is actually growing and evolving into a new and exciting chapter 🤗 Thank you😘❤
I stopped with the so called News a long time ago bc all it did was cause anxiety and people argued, that's all it is anymore and i decided I would not allow that confusion and unsettled people in my home or my life. I enjoy watching the METV shows that came from our childhood or I listen to the Jazz or Easy Listening Music TV channel. Absolutely cut out from your life that which does not bring joy and happiness!! Thank you for this video Lisa!!
Great Ted Talk. I'm a 39 year old Georgia Lady and ever since I discovered your channel a couple months ago, I always thought to myself that I would love to be able to sit down with you and chat about anything. You are so humble and I just want you to know that you are so inspiring to me. I try to watch all your videos, not necessarily because of all the materials you share, but more so because I get more knowledge from a beautiful, humble, successful woman who is raw and cheers on other women. So, I think you for your work you share with us here on TH-cam. Xoxo
When you first started talking, I said, “an awakening,” and two seconds later you said “awakening.” I too have cut out so much useless, negative television, news and otherwise. I have talked to other friends, and they feel this too. I think God is causing this “awakening” in all of us. We just see what other people can’t see.💗
I completely cut the news out and I’ve never been happier. People judge me for not knowing whats happening I could care less if something big happens I hear about it from friends and family. I was never a news watcher till I met my husband. I follow my internal compass and when I noticed the news was negative and fear based I cut it out. I’m 32 and have had an awakening as well. I see now what I didn’t see before and it’s pretty amazing. I love this video thank you!
Lisa i have backed off on the news as well. Focusing on reading my Bible in the mornings and devotionals in the afternoon and praying for the world. Fantastic video Lisa! Keep them coming! You are a blessing. ❤
I’m so happy to be here! This is just what I need! I just turned 50 and I’m finally working on myself! I need the tips, advice on skin and other things but most of all I want to grow in my spirit as a person!
Love the variety of content you offer!!! I’m subscribed to several YT channels, but you are one of the few that I watch every video because I always love hearing you’re mind and it inspires me in my personal life & business! Much love, April 😘❤️
I recently stopped watching housewives, the news, anything violent and I picked up my Bible🌟✨🙌 I just love your channel and how inspiring you are! Goooooo girl🥰♥️👏
Thank you, Lisa! You just keep getting better and more inspirational, and I've been watching you for about 8 yrs now. Isn't getting older wonderful in so many ways?! When I turned 40 I began to eliminate negative things and people from my life. Two years ago I started meditating and it helped me so much to get through last year. Now I'm in my mid-50s and calmer and more content than I can ever remember being. This year I decided it's important to me to begin reading the Bible. I haven't touched a Bible probably since I was a teenager. For my birthday I asked my parents to get me a 'daily Bible' in an easy to understand version.
Lisa this was so good! I grew up with parents that told me I was the total package. With confidence like that instilled in me from childhood I never doubted it! I don’t watch tv either. My home is filled with music and art and the laughter of grandchildren. Realizing we have choices is so important. All of this together with a strong faith is the total package for me.❤️
Lisa, you are such a class act. You get it. You know how to dress so sophisticated. I get so many good tips from you for so many years. Been with you since your first video. 💙 I also , over thevyears with you, enjoy all sorts of content. Clothing, hauls, makeup, tutorials, home decor, and advice segments. Im considering facial fillers, I hope you can touch on that.
This video resonated with me so much. I have been obsessed with the news and it has been stressing me out and making me crazy. I consider myself well informed, and have always been interested in politics, but I was letting the news media and their tactics affect my daily mood. Your words, set me free….and my husband thanks you for that!! I will always stay informed, but i will not let it rule me.
Lisa, I'm a long time subscriber close to a decade it feels. I have to say watching this video today made my heart happy....You have evolved into such an amazing woman. Your hauls are great, it's what made me start watching you but wow the elevation you've had in the last few years. I'd watch for those fabulous shoe hauls but now I watch for the woman you are!! You inspire us and thank you leveling us up on a inner and outer level!!!
You are the best Lisa!! I couldn't agree with you more about what you don't watch anymore. I'm the same way and I got off Facebook as well because of all the negative things being written. Why add stress to our lives. Great topic to talk about. Hugs to you❤❤❤
When I was in my 30's I had friend's 45 and 50 that said they cooked forever and they don't want to any more..I couldn't even dream I'd ever be that way. It started slowly at about 45 and I'm 55 and I haven't cooked much for 7 years. Only special things for my grown kids if they ask. But my daughter cooks better than I ever did and cooks all the family favs. Definitely different times and season's of life! Empty nest or close to it is a start of different way of life for yourself.
Another fantastic video Lisa. You have really “upped your game” over the last year or so. You are a great “mentor” yourself! I know that I really don’t “know” you but it is easy to feel like you are a friend.
Hey Lisa!! This was another shining moment for you!! I just love it!! AGREE AGREE AGREE about the news!!! You’re right ! It only takes 30 minutes to know what’s going on. The rest is just noise!! I’ve started listening to music again like I used to! There is such a good feeling I get from singing with the radio with the windows rolled down on the way into town or whenever !! Music can’t be underrated. It makes people happy 😃 if it’s upbeat and something you love 💕 Thank you so much for all of this!! I’m really enjoying it!! Bless you !! 🥰😍😘💋
I’ve loved watching you for years, Lisa. Love your style and makeup. But I love you even more now. So many TH-camrs I’ve watched through the years have become way too political. Way too opinionated and downright obnoxious. You are a breath of fresh air. Never controversial, always a lady. Thank you!
Lisa, I remember when you said you watched the news from morning to night, and I felt less than because I didn't. Now that I have more time, I am fighting my own obsession (addiction) to watching the news continually, along with the commentary that goes along with it. It has stressed me out so much. I NEED a ten step program! 😗. Being very sincere about my problem. I liked me better when I didn't know everything about what's going on in the world. I know I was happier.
I’ve always believed your health your wealth, family and everything else is the icing of the cake , living your truth is also very important, be kind to each. Your a beautiful person Lisa thanks for your videos.❤️🌺
Wow! You literally blew me away today! I have stopped watching you because I was in yhe middle of a move and have two kids under two, but I used to watch you religiously lol! I finally took a break today and looked up your channel and wow! The radiance you’re emanating is coming from within! Ans yes, I’ve watched your channel since I was 21 because you don’t have a niche. You always have new ideas and new concepts you bring to the table ❤️
I love it! I am a 31 year old mom of two girls and I’ve been watching you for 7 years now.. since I got pregnant with my first baby and became a mommy/housewife. I get SO MUCH from you and love learning about new ways to navigate life. It made me excited to hear that you love to gear younger women in the right direction! I’ve always watched you for your wisdom. You have definitely help mold some of the attributes I carry today!
Lisa you are the total epitome of a woman!! Your heart for others, your style, advise. I could just keep going. YOU are goals for me. I lost 50lbs by finding your channel because you helped me to realize maybe after ....55 ish.... I do still matter!!! I adore you and your content. My dream was always to have the good husband, one child and the cute house me cooking and cleaning taking care of my family in joy. I love that lifestyle BUT I've always had to work and never had any children. I been taking a hard look at what I'm doing and what I want changed and it's ALL because of you. Thank you for loving people and putting yourself out here for us and keeping it 100 REAL ❤🌹🌷🌸🌻🌷🥀
I gave up watching the news about 15 years ago. I could not take letting all that negative energy in on a daily basis. It made a huge difference in how I feel.
Thank you for this! I have cut out a lot of television and news and reading more in addition our social circle is smaller and my husband and I are spending quality time on the relationships with people we feel we can be truly our authentic selves with and not be judged.
Agree with you 100% and have done the same about not watching the housewives franchise or much of news anymore!! I've become more intentional about what I allow in my head and I'm better for it! Keep up the good work with meaningful content, Lisa! xo
I love your channel and completely relate about the "housewives" shows! I gave them up 2 years ago after getting nothing out of watching them and it made me realize how easy it is to give up other things and feel so much better about everything in my life! I LOVE everything about your channel!!!!!
"OH" "MY" "GOSH" Lisa, you said everything that I needed to hear. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You really have no idea how much you help others. You are the sweetest soul. I promise you that all the time, the work, the dedication, the pride, the love for others that you put in your videos is appreciated more than you know. And you have such a wonderful family that supports you and I know are so incredibly proud of you. Love and hugs to you sweet lady🙂🌺
Wow! This was Right On! I have had these epiphanies about the News and eliminating listening to the negative programming too! Great message for everyone!
I keep up with the news, but I don’t devote time watching the news unless something crucial is happening. I don’t spend much time watching TV but do enjoy an occasional movie or show. I like to read, cook, learn about nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, swim, garden, organize, socialize, travel, enjoy fashion & make-up, spend time with my grandchild, setting & achieving goals and basically learn new things in general. I adore wearing silk and cashmere! Your white outfit looks so classy and elegant! I bought the Channel Bronzer and love it! Thank you for your suggestion! Also, I too love Shining Peach 910 by Loreal. I was surprised the other day when you said that was one of your favs. I always layer it on top of whatever lipstick I apply because I think it creates the best shade for me. I enjoy your videos. I find YOU so inspiring!
You're so vibrant today Lisa, and your skin is Glowing! Love anything you can say to give us all a boost, especially when I'm sure a lot of us are still feeling low and defeated this year 👍☀️
You bring such positivity to the TH-cam community. Thank you for creating such a safe space for us all to commune. Looking forward to more and more videos like this. ❤
I did the same thing - cut out the Real Housewives, all of them, this year. And for the same reasons. I feel sooooo much better not watching them! It used to be fun, but now it’s just unhealthy…. I have not missed those shows one bit either!!! No temptation at all to sneak a peak. I just don’t care any more about those scripted shows and their inflated egos, and my mental outlook is healthier for it. My indulgence now is Hallmark movies. Even my husband enjoys those! XO 🌸🧚🏻🪄💕
I stopped watching them a few years ago when it seemed ALL the did was drink and fight. It stopped being fun and interesting. I loved Schitts Creek and Parks and Rec recently. 💕
@@kimberlybellefontaine1215 My hat goes off to you! You have not missed anything, except perhaps some added anxiety to your day or feeling less-than at times… It didn’t start that way, but it became a slight addiction, and when I stepped away after watching them for so long I realized how choreographed it was, and how negatively it impacted my thoughts…. I choose now to live my life rather than watch others (often immorally and without kindness) live theirs. 🤗
Love your passion in this video. So many words of wisdom. News-watching or listening can be addicting. Half hour a day IS more than enough. You sound like you've got a good head on your shoulders and have created a great brand....LISAD. That's all you need!!
Lisa, I have always felt that you are wise beyond your years and hearing you talk about the “Seasons” of our lives, it doesn’t surprise me at all that you are going thru this “metamorphosis”! It is, in my opinion, that the first fifty years of our life, we are so focused that life gets in the way of living. After fifty, it becomes so clear that we finally realize what is really important or not. There’s a new found freedom that is yours for the asking. Also, please don’t try to be like anyone else! We love you just as you are, genuine, sincere, sweet, lovable, down to earth, smart and wise.....there’s that word again! I know that I am not the age group that you are marketing to, but I find you so refreshing, optimistic and such a gentle soul. I always come away, after watching your videos, feeling happy! Love you to the moon and back! You also make me feel young again! 💞💕
Thanks Lisa! This really resonated with me, especially about the news and TV. A lot of shows give me anxiety, so I cut them out and , like you, try to watch something pleasant before bed.
@@LisaLisaD1 I really think so and you are very welcome Lisa! I lost myself somewhere on the way, so I truly know what are you talking about...stay yourself, you ARE a total package! ❤
You are just beautiful inside & out! Your videos always make me feel positive after watching & thankful for MY life, you have a great way of putting things in perspective 🥰
This is brilliant! 👍 I feel like women we give so much of ourselves. We are mothers, wives, sisters, friends...we are in general a very caring bunch and usually accustomed to caring for other people and NOW and HERE we can focus on ourselves and it maybe uncomfortable at first but self care is necessary. 💯 Do one little thing everyday that brings you joy. It may be a cliche but I'm telling you, it's a game changer! Love you girl! xx
I work full-time but cook all the meals because I am eating a very specific way for health. I cook all the meals at home & pack a lunch for work....helped me lose 60 lbs! As for news or reality tv, we got rid of our tv about 12 years ago. I don't watch tv, don't care about popular culture. Don't have streaming services. I look up the news stories I need to follow and leave the rest. Very happy with that decision!
I absolutely loved the points you talked about. I have felt the same things and my husband and I are going through the same seasons in our life. So nice to hear that others are going through the same seasons. Thank you, Lisa! I've watched you for a while and finally decided to comment. Thank you for these 'talks'. ~ Deb
Lisa I’m 65 and not a makeup wearer but have enjoyed your channel for over 10 years. You have a giggle that makes me smile and occasionally I have learned about makeup or clothing that I would not have ever known about. It has been amazing watching your metamorphosis over the course of this last year. I agree with so much you said in this video and wish you continued success on your journey ❤️.
To me being the total package means embracing myself as a woman, loving my body and my own company, being authentic (especially with those I love,), being creative, not making myself small, being teachable, being a power of example to my kids and doing work that feeds my soul
I’ve been watching you since your kitchen table days. 😊My perception of when you started to “change” goes back to your taking a flight by yourself. I feel like you found an independence and self reliance you didn’t know you had. Independent self possessed women make better choices and better partners. It’s like putting the oxygen on yourself first. We can’t help others if we’ve depleted ourselves. I second expanding your horizons with reading and only watching quality tv. There are never enough hours in the day for me. Try to give value to all of them. On a personal note, I deleted Facebook years ago, I have no space in my life for the negativity. Also, turning 50 was a game changer for me personally. It felt like being 16 again with the whole world open in front of me. My aunt used to say, “Age is a matter of mind, if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. Be your best self in the moment. ❤️
You have made wonderfully positive changes to your life! I was obsessed with the news as well and completely turned off the MSM roughly 2 years ago. I still keep informed through alternative sources but I keep it to a minimum. I listen to YT or podcast sermons & Christian channels more than ever now:) I feel so much more at peace and no more stress! We even switched churches earlier this year after attending the same one for 25 years- and it’s all good:) PS. You look amazing BTW!!! Xoxo 😘
I remember you talked about being sensitive to watching people mean to others a few years ago. I had never thought about it that way and it made me aware that I too am sensitive to those things. It upsets me so much.
Lisa thank you so so much for all these videos. You are a breath of fresh air for me, and you really help me to think about being a better woman. You are darling, I love you dearly!!!
You look absolutely gorgeous!! 😘I think you should include being a great momma like you are in the equation of the total package. The love you have for your family is absolutely beautiful. I thoroughly enjoy your videos especially the latest ones. You really have evolved. It is awesome to see how happy you are living your best life.
Just watched this video. Thank you for inspiring us to be better to ourselves!💞 I have never had a lot of self confidence & I now work on it everyday. And that blouse is so pretty!!
I guess I do not understand why women feel like they have to be more and more and more. Whatever happened to just being content? There’s something to be said for that. The constant striving is like on Monday you can’t wait for Friday. So, you miss just being wonderfully in the moment all week long.
Totally agree. I was totally obsessed with the news during the pandemic and it really stressed me out. I would get heart palpitations and my body started shaking. I couldn’t concentrate on anything else but the news. So I totally gave that up as well. I do listen to a couple of of channels just like you said to “know what’s going on in the world and locally” but not obsessed. So true. It can take over your life, we can’t control it and getting upset over it is just stressful. Thank you Lisa. I love your channel.❤
Lisa you are so right. Aside from the negative effect of so many tv shows On adults, I’m most concerned about the awful examples for our young people. There is nothing inspirational or uplifting in most current tv shows. You are a delight to listen to and I so agree with you. When the viewership decreases, so will will those shows disappear. We can only hope. I love that you are so giving and state your views. Love your videos
Love your channel and looking forward to your changes. Just a thought regarding the couch... What if you placed the couch "kitty corner" on the 2 walls, then put a small little table, couch height behind it with maybe a vase and candle.
I appreciate your candor. I too stopped watching the news obsessively and it was my first career out of college; I was an anchor and reporter. I also stopped watching TRHW because I realized that the negative drama was seeping into my subconscious and then surfacing into my day. I loved your take on the spectrum of importance and the seasons of one's life. I believe this area is how you can niche down, not by age or subject matter (beauty, fashion) but using those vehicles to share wisdom you've gained.
Hey Lisa! I so agree with you! Cut out things that are superfluous in our lives and do something wonderful with the time freed up! You are the total package! Big hugs, xoxo Daphne 😘😘💖💖
Agree so much about the news absolutely! Need to be informed but YES can get it with a quick view but not all day!! Love that sharing!! I’ve never watched house wives ever! Quite glad too 💛. I am also viewing few you tube influencers as I’m over many of them. Adore this message today. ❣️
I was just thinking yesterday I miss your talks! Love your channel . I love jewelry, clothing ,fashion ,make up , but I also always need to feel like I have a purpose and that’s why I love hearing different things from you. And it’s so strange because I just thought recently that I wanted to start reading the Bible as well.
Just be your best self and don't worry about anyone else. If you need to improve then follow that path. If you feel you need to rest and reflect....do that. I rarely watch TV. Mostly youtube and Netflix. Be at peace whatever you choose.
I would love to know what YOU consider the "Total Package"?! I want to get to know you more and more!! ❤️ Lisa
Someone who is self aware enough to know what their right path is, and having the discipline to work for it. And someone who does it while helping others in their path too.
Well to me it’s like having all my stuff together faith, family and making sure my cup is full..
Hi Lisa. I never even thought of being a total package. Lol. My only desire was being close to God, happy, hard worker (before I retired), good mom to my son and independent;)
Lisa, I want to share a very personal part of my life with you and those who will read this post. I share it not for sympathy, but to hopefully touch others who have or who are going thru the same circumstances. I have always been a "Daddy's Girl", even writing those words brings me joy. Anyway....in May of 2015, my amazing dad was diagnosed w/Late Onset Dementia. Sadly, on July 27, 2015, just two months later, my dad took his own life. Our family was crushed and my/our life would never be the same. I quit working to take care of my ailing mom and was blessed to have been here (along w/my sister) with her for over 2 years, before her passing on Feb. 25, 2017. I say all of this because to me "The Total Package" has changed in my life. To wake up and no longer here "This is my daughter, Mindy" by my dad or my mom was crushing. I don't know how to explain the feeling...I am no longer anyone's daughter. So, in this part of my life, the "Total Package" is that I am a mom, grandma, sister, aunt and friend & daughter of my parents. Hugs...
It is using my life as an example of what's possible. I see my life in it's totality - because - how you do one thing is how you do everything
I love when you give heart to heart advice. Women lifting women is a beautiful thing and I am thankful for your genuine heart ❤
Lisa this is so wonderful! I love the direction that you are taking your channel in. I really can’t put into words how hopeful and inspired I feel by you! I am so thankful that I somehow found you a couple of years ago. Thank you so very much for sharing all of your knowledge and wisdom with us. It’s appreciated more than you know and I’m happy to have you as a mentor!
This minimalist all white outfit was one of my favorites you’ve ever worn 😍😍😍 I want an entire wardrobe with silk pieces 🥲😭 it’s so pretty!
Completely agree at how cutting out the news is so life changing. I was obsessed with the news for so many years, stopped listening over a year ago and found myself less cynical and depressed. I do occasionally check news app on my phone for a few mins but mostly nothing.
Lisa, I love that you mix everything up. I love all your ideas ! I think the best thing about your channel is that you never know what you are going to see!

I've always felt that the Housewives shows capitalize on the worst human and female traits and I've never given them a minute of my viewership ✌
You got me at Bible! I love where you are going. I’m proud of you Lisa! 💕
Yes! Your channel is so amazing! You deserve to have millions and millions of subscribers. Its sush a useful information for us - women. We all need energy and insperation.
Lisa this video was excellent and so profound. It's so cool because I really feel like God has blessed you so that what you say carries weight. Whenever I watch your videos your thoughts/opinions/advice really sticks and resonates with me. I lost my mom 10 years ago and have found comfort in having you as an an online friend :)

I love these videos! I needed to her this. Over 200 days in lockdown (Australia) over the past year, tends to chip away at who you are. Thank you Lisa for inspiring and uplifting :-)
I'm so sorry about the lockdown ordeal being imposed on the people of Aus....hoping sanity can be restored..best wishes to you!
@@mddrive2 Thank you. X
It’s crazy that you have made all of these changes…I’ve done the same exact things 2 years ago!!! I read my Bible every morning and it really has turned the stress of the world away! My walk with Jesus has made me a much happier person and I don’t miss TV at all!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
God bless u
Don't niche down! I'm 36 and I've been with you for at least 6 or 7 years now. Continue to be the total package!
Hi Lisa, I’ve been a subscriber for over 10 years. I was going through a divorce in 2011 and would escape for 25 minutes by watching your videos. I loved and still do your southern accent and how genuine you are. You are truly a blessing for so many of us. Sending you love from a 50 year old Woman in California 💗🦋
"Ignorance is bliss" but I could never strive to be uninformed. I want facts, I do not want opinion.
I love that little sofa, but I keep wanting to turn it on an angle in that corner 😂
Wow do your words resonate with me about the housewives and the news… I still watch but realize that it takes a toll on my energy. Why spend our precious time on things that don’t feed your soul? Thanks for the positive reminder 🙌🏼
Loved this video sooooo much!!!! Really needed this right now. Trying to build back up my self confidence and except and enjoy my 50s. I let my devotion time slide too and building my study time with God back to what it was. Your recent videos have truly been helping realize that my time on this earth is not getting less but that my journey is actually growing and evolving into a new and exciting chapter 🤗 Thank you😘❤
Hands down your best video. You spoke truly from the heart
…. Not easy to do. Didn’t want it to end xoxo
I stopped with the so called News a long time ago bc all it did was cause anxiety and people argued, that's all it is anymore and i decided I would not allow that confusion and unsettled people in my home or my life. I enjoy watching the METV shows that came from our childhood or I listen to the Jazz or Easy Listening Music TV channel. Absolutely cut out from your life that which does not bring joy and happiness!! Thank you for this video Lisa!!
Great Ted Talk. I'm a 39 year old Georgia Lady and ever since I discovered your channel a couple months ago, I always thought to myself that I would love to be able to sit down with you and chat about anything. You are so humble and I just want you to know that you are so inspiring to me. I try to watch all your videos, not necessarily because of all the materials you share, but more so because I get more knowledge from a beautiful, humble, successful woman who is raw and cheers on other women. So, I think you for your work you share with us here on TH-cam. Xoxo
When you first started talking, I said, “an awakening,” and two seconds later you said “awakening.” I too have cut out so much useless, negative television, news and otherwise. I have talked to other friends, and they feel this too. I think God is causing this “awakening” in all of us. We just see what other people can’t see.💗
I completely cut the news out and I’ve never been happier. People judge me for not knowing whats happening I could care less if something big happens I hear about it from friends and family. I was never a news watcher till I met my husband. I follow my internal compass and when I noticed the news was negative and fear based I cut it out. I’m 32 and have had an awakening as well. I see now what I didn’t see before and it’s pretty amazing. I love this video thank you!
Lisa i have backed off on the news as well. Focusing on reading my Bible in the mornings and devotionals in the afternoon and praying for the world. Fantastic video Lisa! Keep them coming! You are a blessing. ❤
You look beautiful today Lisa! Excited about your new furniture and thrilled you are working with a designer.
I’m so happy to be here! This is just what I need! I just turned 50 and I’m finally working on myself! I need the tips, advice on skin and other things but most of all I want to grow in my spirit as a person!
Love the variety of content you offer!!! I’m subscribed to several YT channels, but you are one of the few that I watch every video because I always love hearing you’re mind and it inspires me in my personal life & business!
Much love, April 😘❤️
I recently stopped watching housewives, the news, anything violent and I picked up my Bible🌟✨🙌 I just love your channel and how inspiring you are! Goooooo girl🥰♥️👏
Thank you, Lisa! You just keep getting better and more inspirational, and I've been watching you for about 8 yrs now.
Isn't getting older wonderful in so many ways?! When I turned 40 I began to eliminate negative things and people from my life. Two years ago I started meditating and it helped me so much to get through last year. Now I'm in my mid-50s and calmer and more content than I can ever remember being.
This year I decided it's important to me to begin reading the Bible. I haven't touched a Bible probably since I was a teenager. For my birthday I asked my parents to get me a 'daily Bible' in an easy to understand version.
Lisa this was so good! I grew up with parents that told me I was the total package. With confidence like that instilled in me from childhood I never doubted it! I don’t watch tv either. My home is filled with music and art and the laughter of grandchildren. Realizing we have choices is so important. All of this together with a strong faith is the total package for me.❤️
Lisa, you are such a class act. You get it. You know how to dress so sophisticated. I get so many good tips from you for so many years. Been with you since your first video. 💙 I also , over thevyears with you, enjoy all sorts of content. Clothing, hauls, makeup, tutorials, home decor, and advice segments. Im considering facial fillers, I hope you can touch on that.
Those silk outfits are absolutely amazing.. I will go to the website and ordered them.. I can wait!.. by the way you look STUNNING 💃💃😍
This video resonated with me so much. I have been obsessed with the news and it has been stressing me out and making me crazy. I consider myself well informed, and have always been interested in politics, but I was letting the news media and their tactics affect my daily mood. Your words, set me free….and my husband thanks you for that!! I will always stay informed, but i will not let it rule me.
I think you're doing wonderful work using your life as an example of what's possible. This is what I'm going with my life too - so I get it...
Lisa, I'm a long time subscriber close to a decade it feels. I have to say watching this video today made my heart happy....You have evolved into such an amazing woman. Your hauls are great, it's what made me start watching you but wow the elevation you've had in the last few years. I'd watch for those fabulous shoe hauls but now I watch for the woman you are!! You inspire us and thank you leveling us up on a inner and outer level!!!
You are the best Lisa!! I couldn't agree with you more about what you don't watch anymore. I'm the same way and I got off Facebook as well because of all the negative things being written. Why add stress to our lives. Great topic to talk about. Hugs to you❤❤❤
When I was in my 30's I had friend's 45 and 50 that said they cooked forever and they don't want to any more..I couldn't even dream I'd ever be that way. It started slowly at about 45 and I'm 55 and I haven't cooked much for 7 years. Only special things for my grown kids if they ask. But my daughter cooks better than I ever did and cooks all the family favs. Definitely different times and season's of life! Empty nest or close to it is a start of different way of life for yourself.
Another fantastic video Lisa. You have really “upped your game” over the last year or so. You are a great “mentor” yourself! I know that I really don’t “know” you but it is easy to feel like you are a friend.
Hey Lisa!! This was another shining moment for you!! I just love it!! AGREE AGREE AGREE about the news!!! You’re right ! It only takes 30 minutes to know what’s going on. The rest is just noise!! I’ve started listening to music again like I used to! There is such a good feeling I get from singing with the radio with the windows rolled down on the way into town or whenever !! Music can’t be underrated. It makes people happy 😃 if it’s upbeat and something you love 💕 Thank you so much for all of this!! I’m really enjoying it!! Bless you !! 🥰😍😘💋
I’ve loved watching you for years, Lisa. Love your style and makeup. But I love you even more now. So many TH-camrs I’ve watched through the years have become way too political. Way too opinionated and downright obnoxious. You are a breath of fresh air. Never controversial, always a lady. Thank you!
You ARE The total package and I love who you are! It’s so refreshing to have you “in my life”. Love these videos. So inspiring and passionate.
Lisa, I remember when you said you watched the news from morning to night, and I felt less than because I didn't. Now that I have more time, I am fighting my own obsession (addiction) to watching the news continually, along with the commentary that goes along with it. It has stressed me out so much. I NEED a ten step program! 😗. Being very sincere about my problem. I liked me better when I didn't know everything about what's going on in the world. I know I was happier.
I’ve always believed your health your wealth, family and everything else is the icing of the cake , living your truth is also very important, be kind to each. Your a beautiful person Lisa thanks for your videos.❤️🌺
your energy is amazing...keep striving for the best you.
I have always loved and appreciated your passion for being a woman and you have helped me grow throughout the years because of it!!
Wow! You literally blew me away today! I have stopped watching you because I was in yhe middle of a move and have two kids under two, but I used to watch you religiously lol! I finally took a break today and looked up your channel and wow! The radiance you’re emanating is coming from within! Ans yes, I’ve watched your channel since I was 21 because you don’t have a niche. You always have new ideas and new concepts you bring to the table ❤️
I love it! I am a 31 year old mom of two girls and I’ve been watching you for 7 years now.. since I got pregnant with my first baby and became a mommy/housewife. I get SO MUCH from you and love learning about new ways to navigate life. It made me excited to hear that you love to gear younger women in the right direction! I’ve always watched you for your wisdom. You have definitely help mold some of the attributes I carry today!
You could not be more authentic and true!! That's why we love you!! Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!!❤❤❤
I love these talks and your talk about books too! I read the last book you suggested and it changed my life!
I love your motivation and especially your “Discipline”
We will always be “A work in progress”❤️
Lisa you are the total epitome of a woman!! Your heart for others, your style, advise. I could just keep going. YOU are goals for me. I lost 50lbs by finding your channel because you helped me to realize maybe after ....55 ish.... I do still matter!!! I adore you and your content. My dream was always to have the good husband, one child and the cute house me cooking and cleaning taking care of my family in joy. I love that lifestyle BUT I've always had to work and never had any children. I been taking a hard look at what I'm doing and what I want changed and it's ALL because of you. Thank you for loving people and putting yourself out here for us and keeping it 100 REAL ❤🌹🌷🌸🌻🌷🥀
Lisa I love you. That is all. Thank you for being such a calm in the storm for me!
I gave up watching the news about 15 years ago. I could not take letting all that negative energy in on a daily basis. It made a huge difference in how I feel.
Thank you for this! I have cut out a lot of television and news and reading more in addition our social circle is smaller and my husband and I are spending quality time on the relationships with people we feel we can be truly our authentic selves with and not be judged.
Agree with you 100% and have done the same about not watching the housewives franchise or much of news anymore!! I've become more intentional about what I allow in my head and I'm better for it! Keep up the good work with meaningful content, Lisa! xo
Lisa, I Love your definition of Success!...I wrote it down, & my get it on a plaque...love it!! Now I'm going watch the rest!
I love your channel and completely relate about the "housewives" shows! I gave them up 2 years ago after getting nothing out of watching them and it made me realize how easy it is to give up other things and feel so much better about everything in my life! I LOVE everything about your channel!!!!!
"OH" "MY" "GOSH"
Lisa, you said everything that I needed to hear. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You really have no idea how much you help others. You are the sweetest soul. I promise you that all the time, the work, the dedication, the pride, the love for others that you put in your videos is appreciated more than you know. And you have such a wonderful family that supports you and I know are so incredibly proud of you. Love and hugs to you sweet lady🙂🌺
Agreed x
Wow! This was Right On! I have had these epiphanies about the News and eliminating listening to the negative programming too! Great message for everyone!
I keep up with the news, but I don’t devote time watching the news unless something crucial is happening. I don’t spend much time watching TV but do enjoy an occasional movie or show. I like to read, cook, learn about nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, swim, garden, organize, socialize, travel, enjoy fashion & make-up, spend time with my grandchild, setting & achieving goals and basically learn new things in general. I adore wearing silk and cashmere! Your white outfit looks so classy and elegant! I bought the Channel Bronzer and love it! Thank you for your suggestion! Also, I too love Shining Peach 910 by Loreal. I was surprised the other day when you said that was one of your favs. I always layer it on top of whatever lipstick I apply because I think it creates the best shade for me. I enjoy your videos. I find YOU so inspiring!
You're so vibrant today Lisa, and your skin is Glowing! Love anything you can say to give us all a boost, especially when I'm sure a lot of us are still feeling low and defeated this year 👍☀️
You bring such positivity to the TH-cam community. Thank you for creating such a safe space for us all to commune. Looking forward to more and more videos like this. ❤
I did the same thing - cut out the Real Housewives, all of them, this year. And for the same reasons. I feel sooooo much better not watching them! It used to be fun, but now it’s just unhealthy…. I have not missed those shows one bit either!!! No temptation at all to sneak a peak. I just don’t care any more about those scripted shows and their inflated egos, and my mental outlook is healthier for it. My indulgence now is Hallmark movies. Even my husband enjoys those! XO 🌸🧚🏻🪄💕
I stopped watching them a few years ago when it seemed ALL the did was drink and fight. It stopped being fun and interesting.
I loved Schitts Creek and Parks and Rec recently. 💕
@@weisabunny You and I feel the same! Hmm not familiar with those shows but thank you for mentioning. I will look into them 😊
I’ve never watched ANY of the Housewives. I’m probably an anomaly lol! And I don’t even feel as if I’ve missed out on anything .,
@@kimberlybellefontaine1215 My hat goes off to you! You have not missed anything, except perhaps some added anxiety to your day or feeling less-than at times… It didn’t start that way, but it became a slight addiction, and when I stepped away after watching them for so long I realized how choreographed it was, and how negatively it impacted my thoughts…. I choose now to live my life rather than watch others (often immorally and without kindness) live theirs. 🤗
The total package!!! You hit the nail right on the head. WHAT A START TO OPEN YOUR MIND TO ALL YOUR DREAMS. LETS DO IT!!! 🙏
Love your passion in this video. So many words of wisdom. News-watching or listening can be addicting. Half hour a day IS more than enough.
You sound like you've got a good head on your shoulders and have created a great brand....LISAD. That's all you need!!
Lisa, I have always felt that you are wise beyond your years and hearing you talk about the “Seasons” of our lives, it doesn’t surprise me at all that you are going thru this “metamorphosis”! It is, in my opinion, that the first fifty years of our life, we are so focused that life gets in the way of living. After fifty, it becomes so clear that we finally realize what is really important or not. There’s a new found freedom that is yours for the asking.
Also, please don’t try to be like anyone else! We love you just as you are, genuine, sincere, sweet, lovable, down to earth, smart and wise.....there’s that word again! I know that I am not the age group that you are marketing to, but I find you so refreshing, optimistic and such a gentle soul. I always come away, after watching your videos, feeling happy! Love you to the moon and back! You also make me feel young again! 💞💕
Way to go Lisa! Thankyou for everything! I love your positive messages! You inspire women to be themselves!!!
Thanks Lisa! This really resonated with me, especially about the news and TV. A lot of shows give me anxiety, so I cut them out and , like you, try to watch something pleasant before bed.
You said so many smart and good things. In my opinion, your are a really good person...and I think a lot of people will agree.
Thank you very much! 😘 Lisa
@@LisaLisaD1 I really think so and you are very welcome Lisa!
I lost myself somewhere on the way, so I truly know what are you talking about...stay yourself, you ARE a total package! ❤
You are just beautiful inside & out! Your videos always make me feel positive after watching & thankful for MY life, you have a great way of putting things in perspective 🥰
One of your best videos in my opinion. Thank you for sharing 🙏
This is brilliant! 👍 I feel like women we give so much of ourselves. We are mothers, wives, sisters, friends...we are in general a very caring bunch and usually accustomed to caring for other people and NOW and HERE we can focus on ourselves and it maybe uncomfortable at first but self care is necessary. 💯 Do one little thing everyday that brings you joy. It may be a cliche but I'm telling you, it's a game changer! Love you girl! xx
I work full-time but cook all the meals because I am eating a very specific way for health. I cook all the meals at home & pack a lunch for work....helped me lose 60 lbs!
As for news or reality tv, we got rid of our tv about 12 years ago. I don't watch tv, don't care about popular culture. Don't have streaming services. I look up the news stories I need to follow and leave the rest. Very happy with that decision!
I agree with most all you have said...we need to take better care of ourselves and that includes what we hear, see and think about. Thank you.
I absolutely loved the points you talked about. I have felt the same things and my husband and I are going through the same seasons in our life. So nice to hear that others are going through the same seasons. Thank you, Lisa! I've watched you for a while and finally decided to comment. Thank you for these 'talks'. ~ Deb
Lisa I’m 65 and not a makeup wearer but have enjoyed your channel for over 10 years. You have a giggle that makes me smile and occasionally I have learned about makeup or clothing that I would not have ever known about. It has been amazing watching your metamorphosis over the course of this last year. I agree with so much you said in this video and wish you continued success on your journey ❤️.
To me being the total package means embracing myself as a woman, loving my body and my own company, being authentic (especially with those I love,), being creative, not making myself small, being teachable, being a power of example to my kids and doing work that feeds my soul
I love this!
I’ve been watching you since your kitchen table days. 😊My perception of when you started to “change” goes back to your taking a flight by yourself. I feel like you found an independence and self reliance you didn’t know you had. Independent self possessed women make better choices and better partners. It’s like putting the oxygen on yourself first. We can’t help others if we’ve depleted ourselves. I second expanding your horizons with reading and only watching quality tv. There are never enough hours in the day for me. Try to give value to all of them. On a personal note, I deleted Facebook years ago, I have no space in my life for the negativity. Also, turning 50 was a game changer for me personally. It felt like being 16 again with the whole world open in front of me. My aunt used to say, “Age is a matter of mind, if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. Be your best self in the moment. ❤️
You have made wonderfully positive changes to your life! I was obsessed with the news as well and completely turned off the MSM roughly 2 years ago. I still keep informed through alternative sources but I keep it to a minimum. I listen to YT or podcast sermons & Christian channels more than ever now:) I feel so much more at peace and no more stress! We even switched churches earlier this year after attending the same one for 25 years- and it’s all good:)
PS. You look amazing BTW!!! Xoxo 😘
I remember you talked about being sensitive to watching people mean to others a few years ago. I had never thought about it that way and it made me aware that I too am sensitive to those things. It upsets me so much.
Lisa thank you so so much for all these videos. You are a breath of fresh air for me, and you really help me to think about being a better woman. You are darling, I love you dearly!!!
You look absolutely gorgeous!! 😘I think you should include being a great momma like you are in the equation of the total package. The love you have for your family is absolutely beautiful. I thoroughly enjoy your videos especially the latest ones. You really have evolved. It is awesome to see how happy you are living your best life.
Just watched this video. Thank you for inspiring us to be better to ourselves!💞 I have never had a lot of self confidence & I now work on it everyday.
And that blouse is so pretty!!
For some reason, your outfit reminds me of the Bee Gees, lol! Always loved them :)
Yay!! The 70’s!! I can see that!!
I am SO, SO, SO glad I found your channel! I love your positivity and realness, just obsessed!💕
Thank you!! 😊
I guess I do not understand why women feel like they have to be more and more and more. Whatever happened to just being content? There’s something to be said for that. The constant striving is like on Monday you can’t wait for Friday. So, you miss just being wonderfully in the moment all week long.
I love this comment. It's SO true! 👍
Totally agree. I was totally obsessed with the news during the pandemic and it really stressed me out. I would get heart palpitations and my body started shaking. I couldn’t concentrate on anything else but the news.
So I totally gave that up as well. I do listen to a couple of of channels just like you said to “know what’s going on in the world and locally” but not obsessed. So true. It can take over your life, we can’t control it and getting upset over it is just stressful.
Thank you Lisa. I love your channel.❤
Those shoes ARE TO DIE FOR!! Love where you put the Gwenyth seatee 💗💗💗. That is the cutest loveseat ever 🤎🤎🤎
Lisa you are so right. Aside from the negative effect of so many tv shows
On adults, I’m most concerned about the awful examples for our young people. There is nothing inspirational or uplifting in most current tv shows.
You are a delight to listen to and I so agree with you. When the viewership decreases, so will will those shows disappear. We can only hope. I love that you are so giving and state your views. Love your videos
Love your channel and looking forward to your changes. Just a thought regarding the couch... What if you placed the couch "kitty corner" on the 2 walls, then put a small little table, couch height behind it with maybe a vase and candle.
You are so relatable Lisa. Really enjoying where you're taking your TH-cam
I appreciate your candor. I too stopped watching the news obsessively and it was my first career out of college; I was an anchor and reporter. I also stopped watching TRHW because I realized that the negative drama was seeping into my subconscious and then surfacing into my day. I loved your take on the spectrum of importance and the seasons of one's life. I believe this area is how you can niche down, not by age or subject matter (beauty, fashion) but using those vehicles to share wisdom you've gained.
Hey Lisa! I so agree with you! Cut out things that are superfluous in our lives and do something wonderful with the time freed up! You are the total package! Big hugs, xoxo Daphne 😘😘💖💖
Agree so much about the news absolutely! Need to be informed but YES can get it with a quick view but not all day!! Love that sharing!! I’ve never watched house wives ever! Quite glad too 💛. I am also viewing few you tube influencers as I’m over many of them. Adore this message today. ❣️
Hi Lisa, I am so happy to see you! I absolutely enjoyed your wonderful video! Thank you so much!! Have a beautiful evening!!! 💗
I was just thinking yesterday I miss your talks! Love your channel . I love jewelry, clothing ,fashion ,make up , but I also always need to feel like I have a purpose and that’s why I love hearing different things from you. And it’s so strange because I just thought recently that I wanted to start reading the Bible as well.
They are coming back!! 😘 Lisa
My heart identifies w you regarding wishing you could share your knowledge with your daughter. Me too! I love your beautiful video. Great job Lisa!
Just be your best self and don't worry about anyone else. If you need to improve then follow that path. If you feel you need to rest and reflect....do that. I rarely watch TV. Mostly youtube and Netflix. Be at peace whatever you choose.
