Since 2012, Lisa has welcomed hundreds of women to Camp Waldemar, where they paint, weld, write, dance, felt, play guitar, eat, float in the river, and reconnect with who they are when no one needs a spreadsheet… or a snack.What started as one woman’s longing for community has grown into a decade-strong creative ecosystem—one that has shaped careers, sparked friendships, inspired books and businesses, and reminded women that adventure doesn’t have an expiration date.Lisa speaks with warmth, candor, and humor about creativity, midlife reinvention, the courage to show up alone, and the magic that happens when 100+ women trust their instincts and say yes to themselves.Together, Danielle and Lisa talk about…🌟 The moment Lisa realized women needed more than “a break”—they needed creative community🏕️ How Lucky Star evolved from a daydream into a thriving annual camp🫶 Why women struggle to give themselves permission to step away from their lives🎒 What shifts in the first 24–48 hours when women arrive—nervous, excited, uncertain—and begin to exhale🎨 Why creativity without pressure is transformational (and why it’s never about being “good”)👯‍♀️ What happens when women of all ages—20s through 80s—learn side-by-side🔥 Why women who show up solo are “the badasses of the group”🎤 The story behind Lucky Star’s legendary Glee Club, welding classes, tamale making, and late-night campfire moments💛 The power of Show & Tell night—laughter, tears, courage, connection, and being truly seen🌈 How camp catalyzes reinvention: new businesses, books, collaborations, income streams, and creative awakeningsLisa’s work is a testament to what happens when women gather, make things, share stories, and dare to choose themselves. This conversation is for anyone craving connection, creativity, and a reminder that it is absolutely not too late to reinvent, express, or expand.🔑 Key TakeawaysCreativity is community—women have always bonded through making.Your life expands the moment you give yourself permission to step away from it.Being a beginner is power, not shame.Adventure doesn’t belong to youth; it belongs to anyone who refuses to put themselves on a shelf.Women need spaces where they’re welcomed as they are—introverts, extroverts, hug-averse, or hug-seeking.Reinvention often begins with one small yes.🔗 Links Mentioned in This EpisodeLucky Star Art Camp → https://luckystarartcamp.com/Follow Lucky Star on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/luckystarartcamp/Camp Waldemar → https://waldemar.com/Mandy Rowden (Glee Club & Season 2 guest) → https://girlguitar.com/Squam Art Workshops → https://www.squamartworkshops.com/💥 Don’t Miss a Conversation📩 Get Dispatches, the Roar newsletter: https://dispatches.danielledavies.com/🙋‍♀️ Want to be on Roar?https://www.danielledavies.com/be-a-g...🤝 Want to partner with us?
