Be a Guest on The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo

Have you ever risen from the ashes?

The Phoenix Mind is a podcast about the inner work that transforms us, the moments that cracked us open, the resilience we discovered in the process, and the wisdom we carry forward into our work and relationships.

We’re not here to pitch products or perform perfection.

We’re here to hold honest conversations about healing, emotional intelligence, and what it really takes to grow into the person you were always meant to be.

This is a space for depth, not surface.

Story, not sales.

If you’ve been through something that shaped you and you’re ready to talk about the work behind your rise from the ashes, we’d love to hear from you.

We especially welcome guests with lived experience in:

Emotional intelligence & personal transformation

Leadership, entrepreneurship, healthcare, or education

Creative, spiritual, or service-based callings

Burnout, reinvention, or second chapters

The messy, beautiful reality of doing the inner work
