Lisa Happ on High-Touch Coaching in High-Conflict Divorces

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we sit down with Lisa Happ, a certified divorce coach, narcissistic abuse recovery coach, and trauma-informed practitioner working with high-achieving women navigating high-conflict divorces. Lisa shares her powerful personal and professional journey—from years in mental health and running a successful wellness and Pilates studio, to experiencing her own divorce, surviving coercive control, and rebuilding her life after profound loss. These experiences became the foundation for her work helping women reclaim clarity, safety, and agency during some of the most destabilizing moments of their lives.The conversation explores how Lisa supports clients through complex divorces involving narcissistic abuse, manipulation, and trauma, blending nervous-system regulation, somatic healing, and strategic preparation. She explains why her work is deeply high-touch, why one-on-one support matters in cases of coercive control, and how she’s thoughtfully expanding her practice by training additional coaches and building community-driven experiences beyond traditional group programs. Lisa also reflects on visibility, intuition-led growth, sustainable success, and the importance of prioritizing self-care as both a founder and healer.
