When the Map Doesn’t Exist—You Follow Your Soul: Lisa Schoenthal’s Story
Watch & Subscribe on YouTube @Marladiann
What if your next adventure wasn’t just a vacation—but a sacred return to yourself? The theme of this episode: “My guest booked a One-Way Ticket to Herself—and Never Looked Back.”
In this heartfelt and energetic episode of Follow Your Joy, I’m joined by Lisa Schoenthal—storyteller, retreat leader, and soulful founder of Breath of Freedom—a movement for women ready to release the performance, claim their truth, and live in liberated, beautiful alignment.
Lisa’s journey is anything but ordinary. From high-pressure event sales to flight attendant at 47 to now curating transformational retreats in Mexico and beyond, Lisa shares how following her intuition (and a few unexpected soul nudges) led to the work she was always meant to do.
Inside this episode:
- Lisa’s personal story of burnout, travel, and rebirth that led to writing her book The Men We Meet
- Behind the scenes of what really happens at her retreats—and why women leave forever changed
- How storytelling, movement, and sisterhood become catalysts for healing and joy
- The trip that changed her life—and sparked her entire body of work
- Why intuition—not logic—is her business strategy
- Her advice to creative, ambitious women who are done with hustle and ready for deeper fulfillment
This is a love letter to the woman who’s craving connection, freedom, and a community that sees her. Lisa’s community, retreats, and podcast can be found below:

hi, i’m your host
Marla Diann!
I’ve been transforming creative entrepreneurs’ lives for over 27 years through two businesses. As a success coach and business strategist, I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs collapse the time frame of achieving their desires and goals.
It’s time to make joy your inner GPS for life and business decisions rather than lean on your logic and reason, first.
You’ll not only be following what is most authentic to you and for you, but you will live the beautiful life meant just for you.
