The Honest Work | For Honest Women Ready To Calm Their Nervous System + Stop Living In Fear
The Honest Work is a podcast for women who want to stop being run by their triggers and start seeing their lives more clearly.
Hosted by Lisa Covert, this show is about looking honestly at everyday situations — the ones that spark anxiety, defensiveness, resentment, shame, or shutdown — and exploring how a shift in perception can change everything.
Around here, we talk about:
🗸 why certain things hit so hard
🗸 how old thoughts and patterns shape our reactions
🗸 what it looks like to respond instead of react
🗸 parenting, relationships, faith, and life without living on edge
🗸 and how truth calms the nervous system in ways forcing, fixing, or numbing never could
Lisa shares real-life moments — how she used to handle them, what they used to trigger, and how learning to look deeper removed the “button” altogether.
This isn’t about becoming fearless or perfect.
It’s about understanding yourself well enough that fear stops running the show.
🎧 New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.
If you’re ready to see things differently — and feel the freedom that comes with it — welcome to The Honest Work.
