Hi, I’m Lisa-Marie, and this is The Heroine’s Adventure.

For years, I thought every adventure story was about a lone hero slaying dragons.

In my twenties and thirties, I absorbed the message that to succeed as a woman, you had to fight like a man, compete, isolate, and push others out of the way. The dragons were external. The path was linear. The rewards were limited and hard-won.

But midlife taught me something different.

It turns out, the dragons we face now aren’t always on the outside. They’re internal: self-doubt, shrinking dreams, inherited roles we never wanted but couldn’t shake. And the journey? It’s not about conquering. It’s about reclaiming.

While researching story structure during my PhD, I immersed myself in Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and Kim Hudson’s Virgin’s Promise — two powerful frameworks that mirror how change unfolds. But something was missing. One was about epic battles and glory. The other, about quiet self-discovery.

What if both were true?

What if midlife women are both warriors and storytellers not chasing goals and slaying dragons, but crafting a life?

That question sparked The Heroine’s Adventure: a framework designed for women who are no longer willing to live as background characters in their own lives. Women who don’t want superficial empowerment or tidy affirmations, but real structure and practical process, a dash of creative fire, and a proven path to an Extraordinary Life.

Because midlife isn’t a crisis.
It’s a second coming-of-age.

This isn’t just about reinvention. It’s about authorship. About swapping old mythologies for new ones. About charting a course that’s bold, spacious, and entirely yours.

If you’re ready to stop drifting and start designing —
I’ll hand you the map.
But you get to write the next chapter.
