Pain to Purpose, Healing from Lyme & Discovering Foundational Health with Life by Leese

Mojo Mecca

In this conversation I’m speaking to Lisa O’Connor, a Toronto-based Holistic Nutritionist and coach for women seeking to be guided into discovering their own unique foundational health/energetic/spiritual needs and lifestyle, and how to really tap into the intimate connection between these many levels of bodies we exist in, to ultimately harmonize them for a radiant life. She follows a ‘no size/protocol fits all’ approach and looks more to the inner journey of an individual, and encourages the perspective of saying ‘it’s a journey and it’s beautiful and I’m ready - moment by moment, day by day, me to me’ Lisa’s life has been a full on, intense, wild ride of deep trauma, pain and ultimately huge growth. She has learnt to transform her suffering into expansion and now to service and being an inspiring light to so many. Through this conversation we dive into; - The tragic passing of her mother while she was only 18, her ongoing journey through grief and loss, and the constant connection she still feels to her essence through the spirit animal her mum reveals herself as - Her huge health journey through wild symptoms to receiving a diagnosis of Lyme Disease, and how she has reversed these symptoms over years of deep healing and DNA re-wiring - How she navigates the world of social media and being present / sharing on there as a personal brand amidst the many ups and downs and insecurities and issues - A big piece about our money story and really how to shift from focusing on income (or lack thereof) to more on your impact - Sustainability and our consumption choices, and about the movement of a more conscious life in harmony with the needs of Mother Earth in her re-balancing, but also about how this can create “eco-anxiety” and obsession on being perfect - The medicine of lightness, fun, play, laughter and pleasure for deep healing - instead of wallowing or spiraling in processes - and how the language of there ‘always being something wrong’ can really hinder true presence and growth on a daily level - and how life is here to be enjoyed! - Even when we’re in the thick of darkness, there is always a light somewhere. And to lean into it. Despite the un-ending messages from society about how it’s all about struggle/just getting by - How so much of our health is really about harmonizing the elements of water, fire, air and earth within us and how simple rituals can have big impact. Lisa truly walks her talk and continuously sustains her radiance with such strength and depth, regardless of the many ups and downs. She also understands, from a higher perspective, the purpose she is living out, and seems to have a deep trust in her path, and so continues to show up and share and radiate through it all. I’m deeply inspired by her. Connect with her here: https://www.lifebyleese.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lifebyleese/ https://www.instagram.com/glowdeeppodcast/
