Episode 75 | Lisa Dugan Van Slyk: One Breath Can Change Everything

Описание: In Episode 75 of Carpe Diem 2026, speaker, coach, and resilience trainer Lisa Dugan Van Slyk shares a deeply relatable story about survival, burnout, and the small moments that can shift everything. After years of juggling caregiving, work pressures, and personal struggles, Lisa found herself in a place where many days felt less like opportunities and more like something to simply endure.

One early morning, sitting in her car overwhelmed and exhausted, she realized something powerful: she didn’t have to fix her entire life in that moment she only needed to reclaim one small moment of control. A single deep breath and a simple smile interrupted the spiral of stress and became the foundation of what she now calls her “Three Moves Rule.”

Lisa’s message reminds us that seizing the day doesn’t require perfection or grand gestures. Sometimes the most courageous step is simply pausing, breathing, and choosing clarity over chaos
