Congruent with Lisa Carpenter | The truth beneath success. Why it never feels like enough.

Episode 7 Why self care doesn’t work {part 2} and how to embody a new perspective.

In todays episode Lisa dives deeper into what it means to matter in your own life. She explores what it takes to truly care for you physical body and your emotional well-being. It's not something you DO but who you're willing to become.
I need to talk about the relationship you're having with your body....
This has been a foundational part of my work for years now because YOUR BODY is a direct reflection of how you feel about yourself.
Treating your body like an afterthought means you're treating YOURSELF as an afterthought.
It is the vehicle you get to DO life in.
It lets you experience your 3D world.
It is the vessel that allows you to live out your soul's purpose.
It lets you see, hear, smell, taste and touch your physical world.
It gives you LIFE.
If you're feeding it crap
If you're not giving it rest
If you're not giving it movement
If you're feeding it toxic thoughts
If you're demanding it work to exhaustion
If you're hating on how it looks
You destroy it.
It will support you until it no longer can.
Think about it
It's the ultimate co-dependent relationship...
You treat your body like crap yet it CONTINUES to show up for you and give you LIFE.
Would you stay in a relationship with a person who treated you the way you're treating your body?
If you want to live your life with the highest level of performance then HONOUR your most valuable piece of equipment like a Mazarati and not a broken down Chevette.
Successful people KNOW that they can only serve at their highest level by making their relationship with their physical body a number ONE priority.
REST
MOVE
EAT TO NOURISH
PLAY
BE PRESENT TO ALL FIVE SENSES IN THE MOMENT
When you fundamentally shift the energy in the "DOING" of these activities you take self-care to a higher level.
They are not punishments to create an outcome.
Treat your body with the REVERENCE it deserves and you'll get to enjoy life and make an impact on an entirely different level.
We are cosmic beings having a human experience AND while you're here respect your physical ride.
~ Lisa

Episode 6: Why self care doesn’t work {Part 1}

Today on the podcast I'm talking about self care and specifically what it is and isn't and why the term annoys me. Self care isn't something you DO but who you are BEING. Tune in to get my perspective and understand why as high achieving, driven women we don't need more things to DO but must fundamentally change who we're being if we want to reap the rewards of better emotional and physical well-being. Unless you change how you think and feel about yourself from the inside out you'll still be facing overwhelm, exhaustion and frustration about why you can't seem to feel better no matter what you do.

Episode 5: Behind the scenes emotions of the FFL podcast launch

Hey hey listeners!
Yesterday I posted the following over on my social media channels and today I'm sharing how it made me feel and how I'm navigating all of the emotion of putting myself out into the world in this way.
I'm launching my new podcast in a few days and let me just say, it's far from perfect.
There's no fancy intro and outro.
There's no cool voice over.
I don't have show notes.
One episode I recorded in my car.
This is the foundation of Full Frontal Living™
I don't wait for perfect.
I challenge myself to sit in the discomfort of launching something that isn't more polished.
I challenge myself to speak when the message wants to come through me and not when I'm sitting perfectly poised in front of my fancy mic.
I challenge myself to just speak what's on my mind WITHOUT a script, with some "uhms" mixed in and unedited.
For far too many years I waited...
and waited...
and waited...
Waited until the graphics were perfect.
Waited until the branding was perfect.
Waited until I had the perfect thing to say.
Waited for the perfect sales page.
Waited for the right time.
Do you know what happened?
Nothing.
I just wasted time and robbed the people who needed to hear my message from finding me.
Not anymore.
I commit to showing up REGARDLESS of the circumstances.
I commit to being there for my audience.
I commit to being in integrity with how I live and how I coach.
I commit to transparency.
I commit to just being me (which is far from perfect).
I commit to allowing things to be DONE and figuring out the rest later.
Perfection is just a smoke screen we throw up to hide our insecurities and fears.
It has NOTHING to do with excellence.
My people need me to show up raw because they're craving someone to give them permission to do the same.
They're craving freedom from their fears, doubts and judgments.
I am launching this for all the high achievers who are being so damn hard on themselves.
Successful women who are looking for freedom from doing all the things, freedom from overwhelm, and freedom from their anxiety, doubts and exhaustion.
I'm here to preach what physical and emotional wellbeing looks like when you practise it from the inside out.
This podcast is for those of us who LOVE what we do but who need to love ourselves more.
You can create massive impact while having a healthy relationship with your body, your business and the people you love.
We all deserve to have a voice and we all need other voices to guide us towards becoming the best versions of ourselves.
I'm excited, nervous and humbled that I to some I will be that voice.
I'd love for you to share your insights from this episode over on IG or FB by sliding into my DM's.

Episode 4: Let’s talk about your relationship with money

Join me on my first carcast after being inspired during my regular Sunday grocery shop. I just couldn't hold myself back from sharing this interaction and my take aways from it.
A complete stranger inspired me to talk about money.
How we think about it.
What we believe about it.
Have you ever explored your stories about money?
Have you considered how much those stories are impacting you on a daily basis?
Your relationship with money is often mirrored in your relationship with food OR is the same journey as someone who struggles with their weight.
Diets and debt are both grounded in lack.
Money and food are ENERGY.
How you think and feel about them will determine your level of wealth and health.
YOU must become 100% responsible for your relationship with your money.
I'd love to hear your insights from this episode so slide into my DM's over on IG https://www.instagram.com/lisacarpenterinc/

Episode 3: H.A.L.T so you can tune into what you need to be your best.

Are you constantly fatigued?
In this episode I share exactly what happens when we're trying to run our lives and businesses from exhaustion.
You have a choice in how you can show up for yourself but it means taking responsibility for your foundational self care.
This will help you navigate your emotions, your nutrition, your relationships and give you the tools to help you make better choices so you can be your best self.
I'd love for you to share your non negotiable self care practises or how you're committed to showing up for yourself in a more kind, loving way over on IG by sliding into my DM's https://www.instagram.com/lisacarpenterinc/

Episode 2: Lessons from an over-doer and symptoms of burnout/adrenal fatigue

In today's episode I share my journey about burnout, over-doing, commitment, discipline and how I was able to recover and redefine how to work with my energy inside my business.
It's not what we do but the energy behind our DOing that we need to take a closer look at.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on discipline or any ah ha's you had during this episode over on IG

Welcome to The Full Frontal Living™ Podcast Episode 1

Hey hey everyone and welcome to episode 1 of the Full Frontal Living Podcast. My name is Lisa Carpenter and I’m a master coach, emotional resiliency expert and bestselling Amazon author here to disrupt the conversation about what it means to matter in your own life.
I’ve been a coach for almost 2 decades and during this time I’ve experienced a ton of personal and professional growth and witnessed radical physical and emotional transformations in my clients. This podcast is a platform for me to share stories, perspectives, insights and even my tear and tantrum moments on how to have a relationship with yourself that will take you from being a burnout high achieving, over do-er, to someone who lives a Full Frontal life that focuses on doing less better and who you are BEing in the world.
We’re going to stop being human DO-ings and embrace more BEing.
I’m here to disrupt the conversation about self care and look at what this means for you. Self care isn’t something DO but who you’re willing to become and the behaviours and beliefs you’re willing to embody. I’m here to talk about why high achievers typically put themselves last and how you can love what you do but love yourself more.
This isn’t going to be a conversation about mani’s and pedi’s but a deeper dive into why you’re struggling to matter more in your life. Why we’ve made doing more, achieving more, working hard and chasing success something we take pride in but rarely celebrate. I want to have the conversation about why we’re throwing ourselves under the bus physically and emotionally to do the things we love but aren’t stopping to assess if we are loving the things we’re doing and what it’s costing us.
What exactly are we striving for and what if fulfillment can’t be found in another certificate on the wall, the perfect home, weight loss, your next accomplishment, the perfect kids or marriage or the amount of money you have in the bank.
I’m here to call bullshit on all the behaviours you’re stuck in to avoid feeling bad and to try to outrun the unconscious stories you’re telling yourself. Every habit and behaviour you have is driven by how you think and feel about yourself, however unless you slow down and get curious about what these are and how you’re actually feeling you’re going to continue to feel stuck, exhausted and frustrated. You’ll keep hating on your body, struggling in your work, wrestling with debt and your money, never feeling like you have enough time, never feeling good enough and swinging back and forth between loving your family and wanting to run far far away.
I’m here to disrupt the status quo and challenge you to see your life differently. I want you to see YOU differently.
I want you, my dear listener, to start asking yourself better questions so you can cultivate a deeper more connected relationship with yourself. Full Frontal Living demands you take responsibility for you life and no longer live by your circumstances.
