Perspectives from a Pomegranate

By: Lisa Brooks
  • Summary

  • Years ago Lisa Brooks took a self-development course and had to choose one word to define what she wanted to accomplish in her life — she chose "INSPIRE." Described as a pomegranate, Lisa is a single mom to a child with complex medical issues, has a graduate degree in healthcare, and is an ongoing student in the school of hard knocks. When life gives her lemons, not only does she make lemonade, she makes lemon bars, lemon meringue pie, and stellar lemon drop cocktails! Lisa approaches life as if walls and barriers won't stop her — and she will help you learn how to be unstoppable too.
