Clear and Helpful Practices

Lisa's book is written and read like poetry which flows beautifully with the interwoven quotes. Lisa, and her son Adam's spirits, float through the sentences. As a recovering alcoholic myself, I found great healing with their story. I could feel the struggles and joys of addiction and recovery.

From the moment I started to read Lisa’s incredible book, I was taken with how she expressed the journey of hurt and pain around her son’s addictions. This book is a nurturing force in how to find our own way to cope with the addiction that has taken hold of our loved ones.

Live More Joyfully

Grief is Truly Transformative

Grief is Truly Transformative

For a long time, I let my dad’s struggles with alcoholism and addiction dictate my mood and many aspects of my life.  Like Lisa, however, I found a way to tap into my creativity to help me start to figure out how to heal and eventually respond in a mindful and healthy way.  Lisa’s book reminds me to dig back into my toolbox, so I can respond and live more joyfully.

- Lauren Beth Jacobs, attorney, holistic health facilitator

In her book, Transforming to Joy, Lisa invites us to stand and to walk with her as she dwells with and moves through all her experience. We learn from her beautifully shared story that loss and grief is truly transformative when we honor its importance in our lives and trust that we will, once again, find joy.

My Brother's Addiction

Transforming to Joy is a powerful book. It has a really great message and can help a lot of parents who struggle with how to respond to their child's addiction. I am 2.5 years sober and can see how this could have helped my parents cope during the worst parts of my addiction and alcoholism.

As a teenager, I read Lisa’s powerful story and could easily feel lost having no experience dealing with the scary events connected with addiction. But reading the story I gained knowledge. I immediately knew I had to share it with friends.
