Hi, I’m Lisa Lacy

Lisa Lacy is the host and creator of Notes From the Edge, an independent podcast built around the conversations we should have been having all along.

Through honest, often unexpected conversations, Lisa explores trauma, recovery, relationships, identity, mental health, survival, reinvention, and the complicated ways people learn to perform in order to belong, succeed, or stay safe.

Her work lives at the intersection of lived experience, human behavior, storytelling, and cultural observation. She is less interested in polished answers than in the questions people are often afraid to ask.

With more than three decades of experience in healthcare education, executive leadership, consulting, and emotional intelligence, Lisa brings both professional perspective and lived experience to every conversation.

She has survived addiction, psychiatric hospitalization, profound trauma, illness, reinvention, and the long process of learning to trust herself again. Those experiences shape her work, but they do not define its limits.

Lisa’s work resonates with survivors, leaders, creators, recovering perfectionists, high achievers, and anyone who has ever appeared “fine” while quietly unraveling behind the scenes.

Notes From the Edge

Notes From the Edge is a rapidly growing independent podcast featuring human conversations about the subjects people are often taught to hide, minimize, or survive alone.

The show brings together authors, clinicians, survivors, entrepreneurs, artists, researchers, and people with extraordinary lived experience.

Some conversations are serious. Some are funny. Most are both.

At the center of every episode is one question:

What did you perform in order to survive?


  • trauma and recovery

  • relationships and betrayal

  • identity adaptation

  • nervous system survival patterns

  • addiction and mental health

  • women and emotional labor

  • perception and misperception

  • emotional masking

  • performance as protection

  • high achievement and hidden collapse

  • self-trust after survival

  • midlife reinvention

What My Work Explores

“I became very successful at performing while quietly unraveling behind the scenes.”
