Lisa's
motivational and inspirational stories and columns have graced the pages of many national magazines and can be read weekly

of various professions so that viewers may implement at home to simplify and organize their lives, one baby step at a
time! For more information, visit: www.SimplyOrganizedShow.com
Lisa lives on the Connecticut shoreline with her husband, John and two daughters, Lindsay and
Lexy...and their little maltese, Daisy. As a writer and life coach, much of Lisa's inspiration comes from
spending time with her family at their lake house up in Vermont.
