About this listen

Hi, I’m Lisa DiVirgilio Arnold, but most people just call me Lisa D.

I know what it feels like to juggle a business, a family, a dream, and a community that doesn’t always get it. Over the years, I’ve built businesses that worked, shut down the ones that didn’t, and even sold part of my company. I’ve also burned out…hard. The kind of burnout that makes you question if it’s all worth it.

What I learned in that process is this: success at the expense of yourself isn’t really success at all. And growth doesn’t have to mean hustle, exhaustion, or losing sight of what matters most.

Today, my work is about helping women entrepreneurs build forward with clarity, energy, and tools that actually work in real life.

I’m here to help you cut through the noise, quiet the doubts, and stop letting “I can’t” become your default. Because you can build something remarkable right where you are without burning out in the process.

Whether it’s through my podcast, the Build Forward Method, or the resources I create, my mission is simple: to remind you that you’ve got this.

Because building forward doesn’t mean burning out.

If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing “more,” wondered if success was worth the cost, or wanted a roadmap that works in real life, you’re in the right place.

    In this episode, I break down why chasing revenue is the wrong game, why profit is the real measure of stability, and three practical steps you can take right now to start building profit into your business.

  • Why Defining “Enough” is the First Step to Beating Burnout
    Sep 24 2025
    Burnout Isn’t About Working Harder.

    Here’s my raw admission. I burned out hard. For years, I thought the answer to every challenge was more. More hours. More hustle. More energy. But chasing more without defining enough was the recipe for collapse.

    My biggest breakthrough was learning that success does not come from raising the bar higher and higher. It comes from knowing where the bar should actually be.
