It addresses fear, personal growth, and the importance of stepping out of comfort zones. Lisa’s Journey Lisa spent 35 years in the beauty industry.

She quotes scripture and shares motivational insights to inspire others to move “beyond the chair.” Broader Message The book is not just for beauty professionals—it’s for anyone feeling stuck in a role or phase of life. Everyone has a “chair” they need to move beyond. Technology & AI Lisa discusses the role of social media in the beauty industry. She shares a humorous anecdote about AI and plagiarism concerns in her ministry training. Writing Process The book took two years to complete, with interruptions due to health issues. Lisa relied on faith and perseverance to finish it. SMART Goals & Retreats She advocates for setting SMART goals and writing things down to stay focused. A retreat experience helped her reflect and clarify her purpose. 📚 Where to Find the Book: Available on Amazon.
