We All Matter with Lisa is a podcast about presence, awareness, and what can happen when I begin to see the thoughts, stories and patterns of the mind for what they are — rather than who I am.I share my own experiences with things like overthinking, codependency, grief, ego, emotional patterns and the search for something that will finally make everything feel okay — alongside the teachings and practices that have helped me find another way of experiencing life.There are longer conversations, short presence practices, meditations and occasional episodes with my daughter Sophie.At the end of episodes I share TrueStones — words from teachers and writers who have pointed towards presence and awareness in their own way.Take what resonates and leave the rest. 🦋

Back after a little break, sharing my thoughts on the difference between understanding presence and living it in a world where there&#39;s so much unconsciousness. Exploring how life&#39;s challenges can deepen our awareness, along with a breathing exercise and a short relaxation. 🦋

Day 7 — The Pattern Isn’t MeSometimes a pattern has been with me for so long that it can feel like part of who I am.In this Presence Pause, I share what I&#39;ve come to see about the difference between having a pattern and being that pattern — and the space that awareness can create when I begin to see it.The pattern may still be there. The thoughts and reactions may still arise. But they don&#39;t have to define who I am.Day 7 of 30 Days of Presence. 🦋Take what resonates and leave the rest.

30 Days of Presence — Day 5: The Space Between ThoughtsWhat if peace doesn&#39;t require a quiet mind?In today&#39;s Presence Pause, I explore the space between thoughts — not trying to stop thinking or make anything happen, just noticing what is already there beneath all that mental noise.Less than five minutes.

30 Days of Presence — Day 4: WaitingHow much of life is spent waiting for the next moment to arrive?Today’s Presence Pause looks at waiting — the queue, the red light, the lift — and what changes when I stop treating this moment as something to get through.The life I’m waiting for is already happening.

Welcome to 30 Days of Presence.
For the next 30 days, I&#39;m going to share a five-minute Presence Pause each day.
My intention with these isn&#39;t to become better at being present, to stop thinking, or to add another thing I need to achieve.
It&#39;s simply an invitation to spend a few minutes experiencing what&#39;s here.
Over the 30 days, I&#39;ll share short meditations, awareness practices, things I can explore in ordinary moments, noticing thoughts and feelings, connecting with the body and the senses, nature, and some of the practices that have become meaningful in my own life.
I&#39;ll also share some TrueStones — words that point me back to what is true.
Some days something might resonate, other days it might not.
As always, I share what&#39;s been useful in my own experience. Pick up what you like and leave the rest.
Five minutes.
Nothing to achieve.
An invitation to simply be.

Episode 52 – Codependency: Recognising the Patterns

Do you find yourself people-pleasing... overthinking... feeling responsible for other people&#39;s feelings... or struggling to say no?

In this episode, I share my own journey into codependency, the characteristics that made me stop and think, and how simply becoming aware of our patterns can begin to create space for something different.

What if the key to a more peaceful life isn’t fixing every situation… but changing how you meet it?

In this episode of We All Matter with Lisa, we explore one simple but powerful practice from Eckhart Tolle:
“Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.”
Through a real-life story involving broken glass, frustration, and a completely different way of responding, Lisa explores what it actually looks like to stop fighting reality and create more space, awareness, and peace in everyday life.

This episode isn’t about pretending difficult things are enjoyable. It’s about noticing the thoughts and emotions that arise, realizing they are not who we are, and experimenting with another way of moving through life.

Take what you like, leave the rest.

This week’s midweek reset explores the “practice of health” from The Magic by Rhonda Byrne — but in a grounded, real-life way.
Instead of trying to “get it right” or believe everything, this episode is about taking what works and leaving the rest.
We look at how focusing only on what’s wrong can add stress and weight, and how gently shifting attention to what is working can create a different experience — even in the middle of challenges.
This isn’t about denying anything.
It’s about awareness, choice, and creating a little more space.
A short reset you can come back to anytime.

What does it really mean to &#34;own&#34; something? We can spend so much of our lives acquiring things — and what happens when we strip them all away? Who are we?
In this episode, Lisa shares the teachings of Eckhart Tolle exploring the illusion of ownership — how the ego attaches itself to things and status to build an identity, and why true freedom can only be found when we stop seeking ourselves in what we own.
We also bring in Day 15 of Rhonda Byrne&#39;s The Magic — Magical Relationships — as a practice alongside this teaching.

Have you had a week full of challenges where your head feels like it&#39;s spinning? In this episode of *We All Matter with Lisa*, we explore how easy it is to get swept up in the external chaos of our lives and identify with the negative records spinning in our minds.

Lisa discusses the profound difference between the problems our minds create and the beautiful, amazing being that is aware of it all. When we get stuck in our minds and overwhelmed with emotions, we shut down the creativity and intelligence needed to actually solve our problems.

Discover a simple yet transformative practice inspired by Mel Robbins and Buddhist teachings: the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown. Learn how this quick mental shift can help you break free from defeating thought patterns, create space for positive emotions, and reconnect with the present moment. Lisa also shares her personal experiences with hormonal challenges and how physical well-being, like managing food intolerances, plays a crucial role in our ability to stay present.

Tune in to find out how you can step out of the swamp of overwhelming feelings and tap into the true connection and joy that is always available to you. Plus, stick around until the end for some powerful &#34;true stones&#34; — quotes from Eckhart Tolle that will help set you free.

**Key Takeaways:**
- How to disidentify from the negative thoughts and behaviours that weigh you down.
- The power of awareness in bringing you back to the present moment.
- Using the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown to shift your brain and create positive emotions.
- The connection between physical health (like hormones and food intolerances) and mental presence.
- Insightful quotes from Eckhart Tolle to inspire your journey.

Finding Presence in the Chaos: The 5-4-3-2-1 Shift

Over the last ten years, I began to notice patterns in my life that left me feeling tired, disconnected, and out of balance. Many came from childhood — they helped me then, but as an adult they kept me stuck. I started searching, not for another way to think about my life, but for a way to live free from those old loops. Along the way, I discovered something important: those patterns weren’t who I was. I was the awareness behind them. This realisation opened space for new ways of relating to myself and others — with clearer boundaries, genuine connection, and a life that feels lighter and more free. We All Matter is where I share what I’ve learned, from simple presence invitations to deeper shifts, so you too can find more space, ease, and possibility in your own life.
