You can turn any job and turn it into something fulfilling
Every life is gonna have its moments of sucking, and guess what? If you love what you do, you kinda come out the other end and you’re gonna be fine.
Former (Grammy nominee level) stand-up comedian gone storyteller, workshop leader and inspiration to millions—aka, the one and only Lisa Lampanelli — lighten up this interview with raw authenticity, pragmatic compassion and refreshingly humorous wisdom.
Lisa shares how though she was ‘happy enough’ in her thriving comedy career, she had stopped experiencing that fizzy, joyful thing we can’t even name she initially felt. She knew that change and growth are what makes life worthwhile, and decided to use her skills in the transformation industry instead. Lisa shares powerful, practical steps on how anyone can take the first step into embarking in a new direction.
Lisa explains how we can tweak any job to be rewarding, how to find fulfillment and the single question we need to ask ourselves everyday in order to be happy. She shares practical techniques on how to move forward, how to do what our heart really wants and how to live life in gratitude, resilience and of course, with a sense of humor.
“If we continue to do something we’re unhappy with – if there’s not that little joy in it – that little fizzy thing we can’t even name – we gotta move forward.”
