I’m Lisa Lisser

We all imagine our lives unfolding in a certain way.

And then life asks us to write a new chapter.

I didn't plan to get divorced. When my marriage ended after 21 years, I found myself standing in the same place many of my clients find themselves today—overwhelmed, grieving, and trying to make life-changing decisions while living with uncertainty.

Looking back, I realize that every chapter of my life had been quietly preparing me for that moment.

And for the work I do today through divorce coaching.

I don't see those chapters as a carefully planned path. I see them as experiences that quietly shaped the way I understand people, relationships, and change—and the way I show up in the world.

My years as an attorney taught me to ask thoughtful questions and navigate complexity.

Motherhood transformed my understanding of identity, connection, and purpose.

Nonprofit leadership showed me the power of community, strengthened my voice as a speaker, and advocate and deepened my appreciation for conflict transformation.

Through that work, I was inspired to go back to school to become a Jewish educator and spiritual counselor. Wrestling with a living tradition gave me the grounding to address my own questions of identity, resilience, compassion, and meaning. Questions that have been universal for generations.

Today, I bring those perspectives together in my work as a divorce and life transition coach. 

My role is not to tell you what to do.

My role is to walk beside you as your guide on the side—helping you slow down, reconnect with your values, and find the clarity to make thoughtful decisions, even when the future feels uncertain.

Divorce is one chapter of your story. Together, we'll build a strong foundation for the chapters that follow.
