3 | Barefoot in Italy: How to Find Comfort Within
In this soul-awakening episode, Lisa shares her first day in Italy—a night walk on ancient cobblestone streets, barefoot and free—and the breakthrough that became a cornerstone of The GRACE Process™. Amid beauty and excitement, she felt an unexpected wave of discomfort and anxiety. On the plane, she discovered why: her nervous system was seeking comfort in old patterns—people, places, and external validation. What followed was a powerful realization that this trip, for the first time ever, was for her.
With tears, prayer, and awareness, Lisa learned how to self-soothe through self-love, showing exactly how to break emotional loops and comfort yourself from within.
