In this magical episode of Grow Your Business Smarter…Live Your Optimal Life, we continue our season-long exploration of What Women in Business Need Now—but this time, we’re zooming out of strategy and into something deeper: soulful alignment, creativity, and the power of being over doing.

Our guest, Lisa Dunford Dickman, is a Transformational Life Coach, Art Medicine Woman, and African Safari Retreat Leader who specializes in helping women reconnect with Wonder and Oneness—so they can finally release the constant striving and start living as the limitless, divine creators they truly are.

Before stepping into her role as a spiritual guide and coach, Lisa spent 15 years writing more than 40 Lonely Planet travel guidebooks, living in 6 countries, and soaking in the wisdom of the world. Now, she brings that same sense of curiosity, connection, and transformation to the women she serves through one-on-one coaching, restorative art workshops, and her awe-inspiring sea-to-safari retreats in South Africa.

• Why ease and joy are non-negotiables for women who want to grow their business and impact

• How to move from burnout to brilliance by embracing your natural rhythms

• The healing power of art as medicine and how creativity can be your portal to clarity

• What Lisa learned about presence and purpose from a life of global travel

• Why Wonder, Oneness, and Embodiment are the missing pieces in most women's success plans

• A taste of what happens on her South African retreats—and how you can bring that magic into your everyday life

Whether you’re feeling stuck, spiritually hungry, or just tired of the hustle, this episode is a must-listen. Lisa’s grounded wisdom and playful spirit will inspire you to redefine success on your own terms—starting now.
