"Mindvalley didn’t just give me tools. It prepared me for a future where I can serve on an even deeper level"

I came to Mindvalley because I wanted to improve my social media results for my fine jewelry brand, Lisa Robin Jewelry. What surprised me was that Mindvalley didn’t just change my business—it reshaped who I am as a creator, as a leader, and as a woman preparing for the next chapter of her life.
Social Media Mastery 2024 was my starting point. I believed my challenge was content creation.
 Mindvalley showed me the real challenge was connection—I wasn’t equipped to capture interest, nurture trust, or begin the kind of meaningful relationship that leads someone to choose me for something as emotional and significant as an engagement ring.
So I rebuilt the foundation.
 I created premium content experiences, and am now welcoming more than 25,000 visitors a month into a world designed to educate, support, and guide them. That single shift changed not just my traffic—it changed the way couples experience my brand.
Then came AI Mastery 2024, and a new layer of transformation unfolded.
 I had joined to streamline administrative work, but I discovered something much bigger: the power of rebuilding my entire digital presence with intention and intelligence. My content improved. My systems became scalable. My creativity expanded.
But even with all of that evolution, I resisted one thing—showing up on camera. I didn’t feel like the woman I wanted my audience to meet.
WildFit 2025 changed that.
 It healed my relationship with food, reshaped my body, renewed my energy, and gave me something far more valuable than weight loss: agency. I stepped into the version of myself I had been hiding. I experienced true food freedom. And with it came confidence—not the staged kind, but the grounded kind that grows when you finally honor your own wellbeing.
That confidence carried me into Speaking & Influencing Mastery 2025, where I learned how to communicate from a more authentic place.
 I discovered that my origin story—my real one—was the catalyst for trust, both in my studio and online. Customers began responding differently. Many now arrive saying, “We chose you because we felt like we already knew you.”
And the biggest revelation of all?
 The most powerful stories in my business aren’t mine—they’re the stories of the couples I serve. So I stepped aside and began elevating their voices. Their love, their hope, their reasons for choosing “forever.”
This wasn’t just a marketing shift. It was a leadership shift.
As I prepare to automate the final administrative workflow in January—a milestone I’ve dreamed of for years—I feel something new opening in front of me. A spaciousness. A next chapter. A calling that has been quietly forming beneath the surface.
Because beyond being a designer and entrepreneur, I’ve been living another profound story: caring for two parents with dementia.
 That journey has taught me humility, patience, presence, and a level of compassion I didn’t know I had. It has changed how I lead, how I communicate, and how I understand the human experience.
And I’m beginning to feel that my next role, after the eventual sale of my company, may be guiding others through that same uncharted territory—teaching hope, teaching grace, teaching people how to meet their loved ones exactly where they are.
Mindvalley didn’t just give me tools.
 It prepared me for a future where I can serve on an even deeper level—whether I’m designing engagement rings, telling love stories, or one day sharing the lessons I’ve learned from walking with both my parents with as much dignity and heart as possible.
This journey has made me a stronger founder.
 But more importantly, it has made me a more open, compassionate, and courageous human being—ready for whatever creation comes next.
