Send us a text

When comfort becomes routine, courage sparks transformation. 

In this episode of Delusional, Michelle Coyle talks with Lisa Toste, coach, speaker, and entrepreneur, about leaving her thriving career, comfortable life in Canada, and everything familiar to move with her family to a volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Lisa shares what it took to rebuild her life at 50, reconnect with her roots in the Azores, and embrace uncertainty as a path to growth. She explains how slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and growing her own food helped her rediscover purpose, joy, and the value of starting over.

For entrepreneurs, investors, and coaches who crave meaning beyond milestones, Lisa’s journey is a bold reminder that reinvention is about choosing the kind of uncertainty that leads to fulfillment.

Tune in to the full episode of Leaving It All Behind: Reinventing Life at 50.
