I am Lisa Jo

We went on Easter egg hunt, but this sassy little monster was way too clever and forward thinking for the Easter bunny 🐰 it took all 3 of us some proper effort to try and hide the eggs on the walk. Grandad was the best at it! Then we had a sleepover and I have no idea how I managed to fit in the bed with Bella and George sprawled out everywhere but I did 🤣

I made a promise. The first time I held each of my children I told myself I’d always do my best. And I meant it, every single time. What a rollercoaster though. 🙈
Being a grandma is just different. I can’t explain why, it just is. And Bella has arrived at a time when I feel more grounded in who I am. More confident. More sure of what matters.
Maybe parenting really is just practice for grandparenting, and after three attempts I’m totally ready to smash this grandma thing. 😍
One day she’ll scroll back through here and know her grandma loved her so much. I’m nowhere near done yet, obvs. Do we ever feel like we are? That’s a whole other post. But the evidence is being built, post by post, year by year.
My kids made me the person who gets to be this grandma and I love them to the moon and back. Well, if it exists. (OMG that’s also another post.)
Anyway, my point is my best is better now. And she gets all of it. Until others come along anyway, and then I have no doubt she’ll be happy to share. 💗💗

A much needed day away from my computer.
Malham Cove with Rob and George, and honestly the best decision we’ve made in a while. 🐾

What are you doing this September? 🌿

Because I know what I’ll be doing…

I’ll be in Bali. Watching the sunrise over rice fields, sitting in a sharing circle with a group of women who’ve come from all corners of the world, and wondering (for the hundredth time) how this retreat gets more magical every single year.

I co-host this retreat alongside my incredible friend Carolyn and honestly, it’s one of the things I love most in the world. 8 days in Ubud. Daily yoga, sound healing, a sacred water ceremony at a 1,000 year old temple, waterfall adventures, mala bead making, breathwork, beautiful food, and the kind of conversations that stay with you forever.

Women come alone. Women come not knowing a soul. And they leave with friendships that genuinely last.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, a bit lost, or like you’ve been giving to everyone else and there’s nothing left for you… this is the one.

11th to 18th September 2026. Only 12 spots. Over half are already gone.

(There’s a payment plan too, £500 secures your spot today.)

There’s a point on every uphill where I ask myself why I’m doing this.

Every single time. Without fail. Usually somewhere near the top when turning back would actually be more effort than carrying on 🙈
Always worth it though. There’s just something about getting up high and away from everything that just resets you. No notifications. No decisions. Just wind in your face and an amazing view.

I’m someone who genuinely needs this. The gym, the walks, the getting out. Without it I’m just a person staring at a laptop making increasingly questionable decisions by 4pm 😂

Woops! 😂 Just sent everyone the April Sound Bath email and completely forgot to include the booking link 🙈

I’m not near my computer right now so here it is for anyone that needs it:

Booking your spot is easy: just click on the date and time that works for you in my calendar. I host one sound bath a month in Littleborough, and spots fill up quickly, so grab yours before it’s gone!

George got fat shamed again.
In his defence, the harness is just too small now. A new one is on its way. In the meantime he’s completely unbothered. He’s fine. We’re all just fine. 😂
Yesterday was gorgeous. Time with Bella first, sunnies on, full sassy energy… I can’t even begin to explain the love I have for that girl. I know every grandma says it but this genuinely feels different. I get to be her grandma, I get to love her and do fun stuff and it is never a chore. I am so happy I get to be hers 💗
Then Rob and I went for a walk round the lake.
OMG it was SO busy. Within minutes I was completely overstimulated and on edge. So we took a right turn halfway and within a couple of minutes it was just peaceful. Quiet. Just us, the path and that gorgeous view.
Rob doesn’t even blink at the change of plan anymore. He puts up with my impulsiveness and I give him a reason to go off script sometimes. Tones me down, jigs him up. We shouldn’t work on paper but somehow we really do. 💗

I’m not going to pretend I didn’t love reading this. 😂

“There are people in this industry who don’t just work behind the scenes, they shape the entire standard of it. Lisa is one of those people.”

Normally I’d talk myself out of sharing something like this because it feels a bit… look at me. But honestly? I’ve been working really hard. The whole team at has. And when someone takes the time to write something this beautiful, you share it right?

This is just a snippet btw. The full comment is on my last LinkedIn post if you want to go and have a nosy 👀 (and maybe give it a cheeky like while you’re there 😄)

25 years of quietly showing up for this industry. For practitioners, for educators, for the people building something real in a space that doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves.

Messages like this remind me why we started. And why we’re not stopping. 💚

Thank you Diane. This honestly meant the world.

Tomorrow is the spring equinox.
The moment where day and night are almost exactly equal before the light starts to win again.
And I love that. The quiet little pause before everything shifts.

So if you’re feeling a bit in between right now, not quite done with one chapter but not fully into the next, you’re literally in sync with the planet and maybe that’s not a coincidence.

Spring is coming. And honestly, after the longest winter ever we’ve just had, it’s about time. 🌱

Are you ready for Spring?

Gonna put this on my vision board 😂
