Lisa Keeling Writes
Hi, I’m Lisa. I’m the author of The Audacity of Her: A Woman’s Guide to Unapologetic Living, a more polished, mainstream evolution of my original workbook Big Sis Energy, the raw and unfiltered blueprint that launched this whole body of work. My newest release, The Friendship Garden, is a sweet, empowering children’s book co-authored with Kim Hendren about growing kind friendships and gently weeding out the ones that aren’t. I’m also the author of Zuzu’s Girls, a love letter to friendship and Christmas magic in NYC, and I Love Myself the Way My Puppy Loves Me (Unconditionally), a heart-forward children’s book about embracing who you are, just like your dog already does.
I have learned that the most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves. Loving who we are, flaws and all, makes life richer. When we stop living for other people’s approval and start living for ourselves, life just… clicks. Things feel easier, lighter, and more satisfying: because fulfillment comes from honoring your own heart, not trying to fit into someone else’s idea of you. This is the advice I wish I could give my younger self, and it’s why I continue to passionately share this message with the world.
I live in Florida with my amazing husband, John, and three beloved dogs - which includes Zuzu, my floofball soulmate and basically my emotional support shadow. Also, it bears repeating: I’m obsessed with two things which make me incredibly happy… dogs and Christmas.
