As the Massachusetts National Ambassador & Regional Director for NAASCA (National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse),
she uses her title and personal story as a platform to speak publicly about child abuse and mental health. Her vigorous career includes, conference presentations, keynote speaker, workshops, author talks, podcast interviews, TV, Newspaper, Radio & DJ Spotlights.
Lisa speaks in great detail about how incorporating kindness, compassion and a positive mindset in your daily life are such incredible skills to have. She feels it is such an amazing gift to offer others. Whether you are using these important skills in a business environment or personal, it is always breath of fresh air.
These are practiced skills that can become second nature when applied daily.
Life is about turning our negatives into positives, and that is exactly what she did by breaking the silence and sharing her personal story for purpose, awareness and education.
Wife, mother of three, grandmother of four, Lisa took all her past experiences of trauma and abuse writing a powerful, raw and detailed memoir of her life. She shares her story through the eyes of a child, giving the reader a first-hand view of abuse through the child’s perspective. This is a profound look at her life as it unfolds. Written in such a unique way, she gives the child a voice.
Lisa gained her voice by validating her story, healing through the process. By looking at the views and prospective of the people in her life that hurt and abused her, she found understanding and forgiveness. When you walk the path of the very people who have traumatized you, it gives you a different view of the whole situation. It was a very difficult journey, but she dug deep into her past, sifting through the rubble piece by piece. Through this intense work, she found clarity, understanding and a bigger picture explaining the why and how it all fell apart.
Lisa is a fierce advocate for child safety and mental health. She has a powerful voice!
At this time, she is advocating for mental health programing in our schools. On January 28, 2024 her second book, “The Book of Joann” was released. This is her mother’s story and their complex journey together as mother and daughter. A look into Joann’s world will show people how mental illness and abuse is generational, and without understanding and awareness we cannot break the cycle. Mental Illness robs far too many people of the goodness in life.
Lisa calls herself, “A voice for the voiceless”
Every year she claims a word or statement to step into a new year.
