Somewhere between childhood and old age, it is easy to start living according to everyone else's expectations — parents, friends, partners, school, careers, social media, or the person we think we are supposed to become. Lisanne Fear knows what it feels like to lose herself in those expectations and what it takes to begin finding herself again. Through extraordinary stories from a 5,000-mile horseback journey across America and candid reflections on her own mental-health journey, Lisanne invites audiences to explore authenticity, purpose, relationships, asking for help, resilience, sacrifice, and the courage to build a life that actually belongs to them. Drawing from lived experience rather than clinical practice, Lisanne approaches mental health through honest conversation, hope, purpose, connection, and the importance of asking for help.

AUDIENCE TAKEAWAYS

• Be authentically you. Mental wellness is harder to protect when your life is built entirely around other people's expectations.

• Purpose matters. Passion can give direction to our lives, and serving something larger than ourselves can give that passion meaning.

• Asking for help is strength. Independence does not mean doing everything alone. Strong relationships are built by showing up, trusting, and letting others show up for us.

• Big dreams have a cost. Meaningful goals require work, courage, honest choices, and sometimes sacrifice — but we do not have to have everything all at once.

“Not everyone is meant to own a wild horse, but everyone should pursue their passion.”
