Lisa Sinnott - The Nurturer Who Found Her Voice

 Lisa Sinnott's childhood dream began simply—to become a mother. Growing up in Oakland's rougher neighborhoods as a latchkey kid with a single mom, six-year-old Lisa found refuge at her best friend's home, where she witnessed something precious: a healthy family unit among eleven children.

While helping babysit these siblings, she fell in love with the nurturing dynamic that was missing in her own life. "That was my big dream was to be a mom," Lisa recalls, her voice carrying the weight of that childhood longing. Life had different plans, however. While motherhood would eventually come, Lisa's natural ability to connect with others led her down an unexpected entrepreneurial path.

After twelve years in call centers and several career pivots, a post-divorce networking event revealed her superpower: authentic human connection. "Are people seriously paid to do this?" She remembers thinking after landing a business development position effortlessly. "This is so easy. It came very naturally for me." This revelation set her on a journey of self-discovery. The street-smart girl who once networked for survival—securing hand-me-downs and lunch from teachers, school kitchen workers and classmates—was now using those same skills professionally.

But it wasn't until meeting her business partner and mentor Frank Sinclair and launching two successful podcasts that Lisa found her true calling: creating spaces where people feel "seen, valued, and heard." Today, Lisa's childhood dream of nurturing others has transformed into a mission that extends far beyond family.

Through her resilience platforms, she mothers a community in healing, proving that sometimes our simplest childhood dreams contain the seeds of our most meaningful work.
