I've attended the 3-day Shaping Freedom event and an Online Goal Setting event that was led by Lisane, and I must say that Lisane has a true gift of speaking life into each attendee with amazing listening skills and insight that is specific to each person's situation and she makes each person feel heard and seen. The life tools that she shares will change your life and she makes them palatable so that you want to take action when you leave.

PS: I purchased candles and a yogamat, and they are fantastic. I love mv mat so much I'm orderina a second one. -Kathy C. • Gave Me The Jumpstart To Make Huge Changes In My Life. I met Lisane many years ago and always knew that I wanted to work with her. In 2020, in the midst of COVID I was feeling very unfulfilled in my personal relationship and my career. I am use to setting and achieving goals each year, which was difficult to do when the world shut down. I joined Lisane's program and I'm so happy I did. It gave me the jumpstart to make huge changes in my life. With her support, I finally obtained my Crossfit L-1 Trainer Certificate. Something I was trying to achieve for a few years but limiting beliefs held me back. From there it was a domino effect. I moved back to NYC, found my dream job, let go of a relationship that was draining my soul and relocated to Florida to start a beautiful new chapter in my life. Yes, I put in the work but Lisane provided the tools, guidance, support and her beautiful kindness. She hears what you are saying and helps to reframe thoughts so you can continue moving forward. If you are willing to put in the work, Lisane's programs are worth joining. I will forever be grateful. -Cheryl F. Shaping Freedom on Facebook / Instagram

Cindy Lee Berryhill San Diego Music Hall of Fame member Cindy Lee Berryhill emerged as a distinctive voice in alternative music during the late 1980s. Her 1987 debut album, "Who’s Gonna Save the World?" (Rhino Records), featuring the popular track “Damn, I Wish I Was a Man,” was praised for its straightforward and humorous approach. Her career has been characterized by provocative lyrics, compelling melodies, and extensive touring alongside prominent acts like Peter Buck (REM), David Lindley, and The Smithereens. She was a founding member of the New York City Anti-folk movement, which inspired Beck, Michelle Shocked, and others. Her influence grew through her involvement in diverse musical ventures and collaborations such as those with Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), who produced her second record. Berryhill’s third album, "Garage Orchestra" (Cargo Records), released in 1994, marked a departure into Tin Pan Alley meets Beach Boys meets Patti Smith–inspired compositions, highlighting her musical versatility. Her politically charged song “When Did Jesus Become a Republican?” gained considerable attention in 2006 after being prominently featured on Neil Young’s Living with War Today website.
