I’m Lisa Marie Howe, a licensed therapist, coach, and leisure evangelist.

I struggled with my own burnout for many years until I blew up my life, quit my job, moved out of my apartment, and bought a one-way ticket abroad.

On sabbatical I began to heal from burnout. I started to appreciate the untapped power of travel, hobbies, awe, play, community, nature, curiosity, rest, pleasure, and adventure.

Since returning to my vocation, I have become obsessed with how to build a life that is actually fun, meaningful, and worth living.

My purpose is to help all of us to build lives they we don't need to escape from.
