According to NAASCA.org, 50-60 million American adults have been sexually abused in their childhood.Unfortunately, the emotional trauma inflicted upon us as children doesn’t magically disappear. If you or someone you know has been a victim of childhood abuse, or any kind of abuse, our hearts are with you. If you are here, hopefully it means that you are on a journey seeking healing and ready to claim your power.Anne Heche is an Emmy Award winning actress that has been in more movies that we can name such as Donnie Brasco, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and even Dancing with the Stars!

Being confident today is an ongoing process, and Lisa is stepping into her Bad B*itch Boots to get vulnerable and share with you the hard road to Radical Confidence.Admittedly, it’s been a heck of a rollercoaster ride.
