They Whispered, So I Roared: The Art of Expanding Without Permission and Moving with Resilience (In-Person Keynote)
Join Lisa for the 8th Annual Sandtray Summit 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky on April 25-26, 2026. She will be keynoting with a 2-hour session on They Whispered, So I Roared: The Art of Expanding Without Permission and Moving with Resilience.
There comes a moment when the quiet voice inside us grows louder than the world’s expectations — when we can no longer shrink to fit within the boundaries that once felt safe. They Whispered, So I Roared is an exploration of what it means to expand beyond permission, to rewrite the narratives that keep us small, and to move through change with resilience and grace.
We live in a world that often rewards conformity, obedience, and silence. Paradigms — those invisible belief systems shaped by culture, upbringing, and fear — tell us who we should be and how we should move. They keep us contained, comfortable, and compliant. But every breakthrough, every act of innovation and personal evolution, begins with someone who dares to step outside the lines.
In this keynote, we’ll explore how to recognize the paradigms that confine us — and how to transcend them without apology. Through reflection, curiosity, and courageous action, we’ll uncover how to:
- Reclaim your voice and stand in your truth, even when the world expects your silence.
- Transform resistance into resilience, using challenge as fuel for growth.
- Expand your boundaries by questioning assumptions and embracing discomfort as a gateway to possibility.
- Move with intention and authenticity, crafting a life that reflects your deepest values rather than inherited beliefs.
This isn’t just about breaking free — it’s about breaking open: expanding into your full capacity for creativity, innovation, and fulfillment.
Because when we stop waiting for permission to evolve, we become living examples of what’s possible.
When we roar, we remind others they can too.
