And That's Okay! Lisa Rena Scott

Share something with Lisa directly. Have you ever had a week where nothing is technically wrong, yet everything feels heavy? You wake up, go through your usual routine, check emails, drink your coffee… and suddenly your brain feels like it’s juggling flaming torches you didn’t sign up for. You can’t point to one thing, you can’t fix it, and maybe you’re even wondering if something is wrong with yo...

Share something with Lisa directly. Today I’m talking about one of my FAVORITE things Wicked. Yes — the Broadway musical – which I saw WAAYYY before the movies. And now the two part movie series. The green girl. The glitter. The friendship. The transformation. The FEELINGS. We’re diving into what Wicked teaches us – not just about witches or magic – but emotions, labels, identity, perspective, and...

Share something with Lisa directly. Have you ever stopped mid-thought and wondered, “Why am I feeling this… right now?”  Like—of all the things your body could be doing in that moment, why does it choose to fire off frustration, or joy, or fear, or hope? Here’s something we rarely say out loud… Your emotions aren’t random. They’re not accidental. They’re not something you learned how to have. You...

Share something with Lisa directly. You know that feeling… you’ve planned your whole day. Every task lined up, every goal scheduled. And then—bam—something goes sideways. Maybe it’s small—a coffee spill, traffic, a delayed email. Or maybe it’s bigger—a meeting canceled, a project delayed, or a sudden change in plans. Frustration hits fast. Chest tightens, jaw clenches, thoughts start racing. That...

Share something with Lisa directly. You know that one spot in your house you keep avoiding? It might be a closet, a box in the basement, or a shelf in the garage — the one that’s just… there. You walk past it all the time, thinking, “I should really get to that,” but somehow, you never do. And That’s Okay! We’ve all got one. Life moves fast, and those little corners end up holding pieces of our pa...

Share something with Lisa directly. You ever walk into a room with full confidence, like you’re on a mission — and then just… stop?   You’re standing there, looking around, trying to figure out what in the world you came in for. You glance at the counter, maybe the floor, like the answer’s going to magically appear somewhere between the lamp and the laundry basket. And then it hits you… you have a...

Share something with Lisa directly. You ever wake up one day and just… feel off?  Like the person staring back at you in the mirror looks familiar — but somehow, not quite you ?  Maybe your routines don’t feel as easy as they used to. Maybe your favorite things don’t bring that same spark. Maybe you’ve been a little quieter lately — or maybe louder, in ways you can’t explain.  You start to wonder...

Share something with Lisa directly. Have you ever felt that pit in your stomach, the one that creeps in when you think about failing? Maybe it’s a new project at work, a conversation you’ve been avoiding, or a goal you’ve set for yourself that feels just out of reach. That feeling… that fear… it can stop us in our tracks if we let it.  But what if I told you that failure isn’t the end? That what f...

Share something with Lisa directly.   Hey there, and welcome back to And That’s Okay! I’m so glad you’re here with me today. We’re diving into a feeling that most people never talk about… but I promise, it’s something almost all of us have felt at some point.  We’re talking about… jealousy. Not the obvious kind where someone flaunts what they have, but the quiet kind. The kind that shows up when y...

Share something with Lisa directly. Welcome back to And That’s Okay! Today we’re diving into something that hits all of us at some—building new habits but getting frustrated with slow progress. You know, that moment where you’re doing “all the right things,” but the results just don’t seem to show up? It’s like… “Why am I even bothering?” I want you to know—you are not alone in that. And more impo...

Share something with Lisa directly.  There is so much happening in the world and in our personal lives right now. The noise can feel constant—the headlines, the responsibilities, the unspoken weight of what tomorrow might bring. It’s easy to feel like we’re standing in the middle of chaos, with thoughts pulling us in a hundred different directions. And in that swirl of anxiousness and overwhelm, g...

Share something with Lisa directly.  “Hey friends—welcome back to And That’s Okay! Can you believe it? We are celebrating one year of this podcast. One year! I honestly can’t believe I get to sit here, one year later, with you listening in, reflecting on where we’ve been, and celebrating where we’re going.  So today’s episode is different. It’s not just a look back, but a moment to pause, reflect,...

Share something with Lisa directly. Hey friend, welcome back to And That’s Okay! Today we’re talking about a feeling I know you’ve had before…feeling out of place. You know those moments—you walk into a room, everyone seems connected, and suddenly you feel like the outsider? Maybe it’s at work, a social gathering, or even in your own family. That sinking thought hits you: “I don’t belong here.” Ta...

Share something with Lisa directly.  Welcome back to And That’s Okay! I want to start today with something really personal. It wasn’t until I actually started taking time with my feelings that I realized just how much power they hold. Not power in a scary way, but power in what they can teach me… and in how they signal what’s going on underneath the surface.  The tricky part is, feelings don’t usu...

Share something with Lisa directly. Words have power. Sometimes they build us up… and sometimes, they cut deeper than we expect. Maybe it was something said in the heat of the moment, maybe it was a comment that stung long after the conversation ended. Harsh words have a way of sticking with us—echoing in our minds, making us question who we are or how we’re seen.  If you’ve ever walked away repla...

Share something with Lisa directly. Have you ever found yourself sitting in your car after grocery shopping, bags waiting in the backseat, and just… couldn’t bring yourself to drive home? Like your body and mind are telling you, “Not yet.” Maybe it’s not about the groceries at all. Maybe it’s the noise, the chaos, the endless expectations waiting behind that door. Today, we’re going to lean into t...

Share something with Lisa directly. Today we’re talking about the non-money things you’re allowed to want more of — and how to actually create them in your life. Not with hustle. Not by chasing more. But by choosing better.  I’ll share personal reflections — including a moment this week that really shifted how I define abundance — and I’ll walk you through realistic, specific ways to claim more en...

Share something with Lisa directly. Okay… let’s just go ahead and say it: I had a plan. It was a good plan. It was on the calendar, the outfit was laid out, and I was hydrated. But then—because the universe apparently wanted to test me—the plan fell apart. And what came rushing in? That oh-so-familiar combo: frustration, being fed up, and feeling completely off track.”    If you’ve ever felt like...

Share something with Lisa directly. You’re doing everything . You’re checking the boxes. Running the errands. Juggling the work, the kids, the laundry, the texts, the emails. You are not sitting still—like, ever. And yet… you still feel like you’re drowning. That low hum of anxiety? It’s there before your feet hit the floor. That weight in your chest? It follows you through the day. And when your...

Share something with Lisa directly.  We’re often told to "leave the past in the past."  To keep moving. To only look forward.  And sure... there’s a lot of truth to that — life doesn’t wait, and neither can we.  But here’s something we don’t talk about enough:   Not everything in the rearview mirror is bad. Some of it? Some of it is beautiful. Some of it is the reason you’re standing rig...

Share something with Lisa directly. Today, we’re talking about something we don’t name enough: bullying in adulthood . We think of bullying as something that ends when we leave the playground. But the truth is… it just changes outfits. It gets more subtle. More sophisticated. Sometimes more damaging. And when it shows up? It stings. It confuses us. It makes us shrink. And more often than not… it m...

Share something with Lisa directly. There’s something about silence that can feel both peaceful and terrifying. Especially when your mind is loud. When the to-do list is endless. When your emotions are tangled up with everyone else’s. Sometimes, calm feels like a luxury — something only found on a yoga retreat or a beach at sunrise. But what if I told you… calm isn’t something we have to wait for?...

Share something with Lisa directly. Hey there, I’m so glad you're joining me today! I want to start with a question that’s been on my mind lately, and maybe it’s on yours too: How are we leading in our lives—really? Whether it’s at home, with our families, in our faith, in our work, or in our relationships—are we leading from a place of love or fear ? Now, I get it. These days, we’re juggling...

Share something with Lisa directly. Okay, let’s be real. Have you ever sat there, knowing you should do something—like, you absolutely need to do it—but every cell in your body is just like… ‘Nope. Not today. Not happening’? Maybe it’s something big—like tackling that mountain of laundry, making that tough phone call, working out when you said you would. Or maybe it’s just…getting out of bed. And...

Share something with Lisa directly. You did the hard part. You set the boundary. You spoke up for yourself. You made the decision to protect your peace. And now? Now you feel... off. Maybe you’re questioning yourself, maybe you’re feeling guilty, maybe you’re dealing with some major pushback from others. And that’s okay! Because setting boundaries isn’t just about drawing a line—it’s about what ha...
