I love to play music, and it's, it's my joy, and I, I'll play a little bit for you as well, it's our God-given right. From birth. To take care of our mind, body, soul. It's within our core being of our survival. To be accountable. For how we show up in the world, and I myself can understand just as well as you can that we can be so overwhelmed with the responsibilities of family, of life, of jobs, of, responsibility, of what's expected, and great expectations we have of ourselves and what we feel other people have on us. My message to you today is make sure every single day you carve out a little bit of time, go for a walk outside. That's like my biggest thing. Every day I make time to go out for a walk for a half hour, 1 hour, make time for you, even if you just kind of have to shut the door and give yourself a half hour of just me time. It is so important. I, I have learned over my years that my me time is the greatest value I give to myself because it's a timeout. It's a timeout just to say, stop. I need to put the brakes on. I need to just do nothing. And secretly, I do not do nothing very well. I'm always busy doing something. So, please, please, please take my advice, which I don't have an easy time taking my own, of making special time, carving special time out every day just for you. Even if it's a coffee break in the morning before you start your day, just take that time out to be at peace and just Be mindless of, or I should say be mindful of being. Mindless, I think that makes sense, just for a few minutes, you deserve it,

Her Interview
Ten minutes with Lisa Eva
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would have to say my parents. My mom is still living, my dad is not. My dad was an airplane pilot, my mom's a hairdresser, and my mom's from Europe. Both my parents instilled in me and my brother a work ethic that you just love your work, you love your family. My dad always said he loved his work more, but he always said, you are your own billboard. So show up and be everything that you possibly can, and give it your all. Being that my mom is European, my mom has this work ethic that no matter what you do, she's still to this day asking me, are you getting paid for it? My mom is a go-getter, and both my parents are go-getters, so they both instilled in me just don't stop, keep going. My parents raised me with the idea that time is money. However, as life moves forward, I realize that time is more valuable than money.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
You are your own billboard. So show up and be everything that you possibly can, and give it your all. That's what my dad always told me, and it's stuck with me throughout my career.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Learn that maybe rejection is redirection, because rejection can be very hard to take. And no matter what our age is, we're like big kids. So whether they're in their twenties, whatever age they are, just be strong and stand in your own power. Believe in your knowing, and if you want to do something, if you want to be something, then stand in your ground for it. Don't let somebody else redirect you doing something you don't feel passionate about. Give yourself permission to own who you are and be okay with that. Don't think you need somebody else's permission.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I'm learning that it's making the connection. For instance, I want to do keynote speaking, so I'm taking the steps and reaching out and making connections with newer people, which is great. However, in the karmic universe, what you give out, you get back. I can sit with that, even though what I give out doesn't necessarily pay my bills today, but somehow, someway, it's going to come back to me. There has been a hump in getting over that, accepting that reality that what you give, you get. However, it's not always in the moment, and just being patient with the process. I think that's the challenge - being patient with the process of things unfolding and not giving up. Like, for example, several of the books I wrote, I was like, okay, I'm not making any money on this, forget it, I'm just gonna put this on the shelf. So the idea is, life redirects you, and it redirected me, and so I've fallen into my niche. However, it's being patient with the process, because it doesn't always generate money, because I think that ultimately, as human beings, we're like, okay, where's the money? And it shouldn't be that way. I've had a conversation with family the other night, and I'm like, you gotta stop looking at it for the money. Why are you doing it? What's driving you? What do you want to give back? How do you impact those around you with what you're doing? Forget about what you're getting, because it's not about what's in it for me.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
There's a few things. I guess the top one is going to be authenticity, respect, and transparency. Let's be real, we're all on this planet moving forward, so let's just say it like it is.

A poignant poem exploring the transformative realization that your greatest strength comes from within. Lisa Eva Gold invites readers to recognize their inner voice as their biggest fan, encouraging self-empowerment and unstoppable courage.
My Biggest Fan
Discovering the Greatest Strength Within Your Own Inner Voice
My Biggest Fan
By Lisa Eva Gold
All this time, I thought it was you,
Sitting out there in the stands.
The one rooting and roaring—
My Biggest Fan.
It came upon me as a surprise
As I closed my eyes.
This awareness rose inside.
My Biggest Fan.
This life matters most to the one on the inside.
The one keeping score,
Always wanting more.
She is a hard one to please.
No more hiding my own light.
My Biggest Fan.
All this time, I focused out there.
But now I see—
It's within me that the greatest strength resides.
My Biggest Fan.
This is my ticket—
This life I lead.
It doesn't matter who surrounds me.
It's that inner voice,
That inner critic,
Who begs and pleads.
My Biggest Fan.
On sunny days, I walk along the shore.
There is no ship coming.
No rescue boat afloat.
It's that quiet, subtle voice
That nudges and lifts me.
My Biggest Fan.
I sit in silence at the end of a long day.
No one is here to save me.
Not even the full moon rising
As I gaze out upon the windowsill.
It's always been something within
That responds with a thrill.
My Biggest Fan.
All along,
It's been within.
That courage that creates the brave.
No matter what you may face,
Look within.
There may not be a rescue ship coming.
But that's okay.
Because being unstoppable has more power
Than any boat,
Train,
Or jet plane.
BE UNSTOPPABLE
MY BIGGEST FAN — ME.
(The "me" you know lives inside. Reach in and greet your biggest fan today.)

No one said it's easy.
You gotta take a deep breath.
You gotta stretch to grow.

you are perfect just the way you are. It's all your flaws that make you who you are.
And YOU are BEAUTIFUL.

You know how.
The sun rises and sets every day. It doesn't matter your name.
Just keep moving forward. There really is no wrong or right way.

This movie called YOU begins with Y and ends with U.

A reflective poem about self-acceptance and inner wisdom, exploring themes of personal growth, spiritual awakening, and the importance of being your own best friend throughout life's journey.
OLD FRIEND
A poetic reflection on self-compassion, inner wisdom, and embracing your own voice as life's truest guide.
Your Own Best Friend
By Lisa Eva Gold
My dad would be proud. I won't say this too loud. No one wants to be told, "I told you so," because you need to stay bold.
Unbeknownst to man, time is in demand. We live by a clock that doesn't stop. We refine our agenda; we don't surrender.
Once upon a time, there was a space in a place that left lines of happiness upon my face. It was youth that saw me through. I believed in myself because you did, too. A beacon of light, that I looked up too.
Can I tell you a secret? There is a secret place inside. No one can get in. Only you reside. There are certain people who leave a mark. Yet we sit on the bleachers looking out. When in fact you are your greatest teacher.
I remember who I was back then. I was more of a friend. Dad reminded me, "You'll always be your own best friend." There are cracks in the aerosphere. That's how the light gets in, my dear.
You are that small voice that no one else can hear. It will always guide you. No need to fear. I'll always be near.
Because beyond this place ascends the human race. This is no joke. This life accelerates with unstoppable common folk.
Mother Earth is made of dirt. Don't you know? We are the chosen hopes for a planetary rebirth.
Father shared with me stories of his world travels. Like spice cabinets filled with a variety of seasonings. Tourists, cultures, and vultures have always been scattered across our global nations. Distortions make way for restorations. This is not the end my friend. Many of us are awakening now. We have become seekers, believers in the new age. Known by some as the "woo-hoo freakers."
We take life so seriously, when metaphors are everywhere. Even the Golden Arches sell hamburgers and starches. Stand in your powerful marches.
You and I are not so different my friend. You must be flexible and bend. Let me remind you: You, too, are your own best friend.
