Your Comeback Story Begins Now

Have you ever felt that life cracked you wide open? Those pivotal moments—divorce, accidents, unexpected loss—can either destroy us or transform us into something more radiant than before.

My own path has been marked by divorce, the death of both parents, and a terrifying car accident that sent me plunging into freezing Wisconsin waters. But here's the beautiful truth I've discovered: these fractures became my foundation. They gave me what I call "mortality motivation"—a fierce determination to stop playing small and start living authentically.

For decades, I believed I wasn't enough. Not worthy of love. Not deserving of success. Then at 58, something shifted. I stopped waiting for confidence to find me and started actively creating it instead. I began saying yes to family memories, adventures with my boyfriend and dog, and building a business where I could be unapologetically myself.

This podcast is about embracing those messy middle moments of transformation. You'll hear authentic stories from people who've walked through fire and emerged shining. You'll gain practical tools for personal growth, self-worth, resilience, and wellness. No fluff—just real conversations about rebuilding life brick by brick.

If you're a woman who's tired of shrinking, who's ready to rewrite your story and unleash your inner radiance, pull up a seat. This is your time to take control of your mindset, your energy, and your beautiful comeback. I'm Lisa Dorn, your Catalyst Coach, and I'm cheering you on every step of the way. Subscribe now and let's walk this path of transformation together.

Welcome back to Unleash your Inner Radiance. I'm Lisa Dorn, your Catalyst, life, wellness and Transformation Coach, and let me tell you this isn't just a podcast. It's a reclamation, a regrowth and a radiant return to you, because here's what I know we all have a before, we have a past. We all have a moment that cracked us open. Have a past. We all have a moment that cracked us open. It could have been a divorce, it could have been a car accident, it could have been the loss of a child, it could have been the loss of a parent. What is it that cracked you open? And we also have the power to rewrite our stories from there. So mine, that includes divorce. It includes the death of both of my parents. It includes a car accident that, in the dead of winter on a February day, sent us creaming down a back road of Wisconsin into a bridge, over the bridge and into the water. It was freezing that day, but here's what I know. I have mortality motivation because of it. So we also have decades of feeling or I guess I should say I also have decades of feeling that I am not enough, I'm not worthy of love, I'm not worthy of success or even dreaming of a little bit bigger. But at 58 years old, I stopped. I stopped waiting for confidence and I started creating it. I said yes to making memories of my family. I said yes to road trips with my boyfriend and my dog, dex, and I said yes to making memories of my family. I said yes to road trips with my boyfriend and my dog, dex, and I said yes to building a business that allows me to show up fully, freely and unapologetically me.
