How a Military Attorney Found Inner Freedom – An Interview with Lisa LaPerle
Plus, we're looking for 20 people to share their story of awakening!
How does a military attorney who spent two decades in service to her country become a guide for inner peace, healing, and presence?
For Lisa LaPerle, twenty years of high-stakes leadership, legal strategy, and relentless discipline culminated in a quiet but profound awakening—true fulfillment doesn’t come from accolades—it comes from alignment. Guided by ancient philosophy, the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, and her own hard-earned life experience, Lisa founded Me Here Now—a wellness practice devoted to helping high achievers, veterans, and professionals reconnect with meaning, self-compassion, and what she calls the “freedom within.”
In this conversation, you’ll hear how Lisa turned chronic stress into embodied wisdom, why she believes self-examination is the gateway to purpose, and how yoga, meditation, and coaching can serve even the busiest lives—from courtrooms to combat zones.
