    How I Asked for a Sign and Found My Way to Florida

    In this episode, Lisa French brings the three categories of intentional living from Ep7 — drifting, deciding, and being in the driver’s seat to life through one specific arc: the years-long drift that led to her solo move from Iowa to Florida. She shares what drifting felt like from the inside (subtle, not dramatic), the small moments that took her from wishful thinking into a real decision, and what happened when she showed up in Panama City Beach with an RV, no car, and no plan — and everything started falling into place anyway. If you’ve ever felt like your life was moving but you weren’t really steering it, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways•  A long drift is hard to identify from the inside because it’s subtle. Life looks normal, you’re functioning, but nothing is lighting you up anymore.•  Wishful thinking is imagining the life you want. Deciding is saying it out loud, because once you do, you’re accountable to it.•  You don’t need a full plan to make a real move. Recognizing the next step when it’s presented to you and acting on it is enough.•  When you’re aligned and paying attention, things move toward you. The car shopping solution, the Chamber membership, the private plane ride... none of it was forced. It was noticed.•  That quiet, off-feeling season isn’t a low point. It’s the space you need for the next decision to find you. Links and Resources Mentioned•  Visualization Guide for Intentional Creation (free) — lisafrench.rocks/visualization•  Hello, Possibility newsletter — lisafrench.rocks/newsletter•  Live session details — coming soon About LisaLisa French is an Empowerment Coach, content creator, and keynote speaker based in Panama City Beach, Florida.

    What Does It Mean to Live With Intention?

    In this episode, Lisa French asks the question most people skip right past: what does it mean to live with intention, not as a concept, but as a felt experience? Drawing from her own seasons of drifting, a pivotal question from a trusted boss, and the slow decision to move solo to Florida, Lisa unpacks the difference between being busy and being deliberate. If you’ve ever felt like your life is moving but you’re not really steering it, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways•       Drifting is what happens when your life is no longer asking anything of you, or when you’ve stopped asking anything of it.•       Intention isn’t making a wish or a perfect plan. It’s the practice of asking, “is this what I want?’ before you say yes.•       You don’t have to have it all figured out to start deciding. Showing up is what puts you in the driver’s seat.•       Small choices compound. Adding one real experience, one real question, one real yes or no is how intentional living starts.•       Being in the driver’s seat doesn’t mean controlling every outcome. It means staying awake and engaged with your own life. Links and Resources•       Visualization Guide for Intentional Creation (free) — lisafrench.rocks/visualization•       Hello, Possibility newsletter (free) — lisafrench.rocks/newsletter About LisaLisa French is an Empowerment Coach, content creator, and keynote speaker based in Panama City Beach, Florida.
