About Lisa & HealingSheGotFaith

 

My name is Lisa Nolan.

I am also known as LeLe or SheGotFaith.

I am your local self-love advocate. I truly believe that it is time for us to start investing in ourselves the way we invest in everyone around us. I didn't choose grief, but grief chose me.

With that being said, I have learned to embrace and approach everything that I hide. And that's exactly what we do here at HealingSheGotFaith.

We learn more about ourselves and we have those difficult conversations to move forward and love ourselves the way we love the world.

Losing both parents before the age of 30 has been a journey.

Attending almost 6 funerals a year up until I was 25 has been surreal. Learning that grief goes beyond death and that there is more than one "grief" has opened my eyes. For many years, I have felt insane and unworthy. All of this had to do with my life and what I had to endure. And you know what? I felt like this because I kept telling myself that what I had been through was not that bad. I was denying myself my own feelings. But I had to stop that!

I have been dealing with grief since the death of my father at the age of 15.

 In 2018 my mother was killed in a car accident. My little brother was also in the car with her. He survived. I had health with death and grief before, but nothing like losing my mother. On October 4th, 2018, my life changed forever when my mother's heart stopped beating. I watched my big sister, myself, and little brother's life change forever. This wasn't a situation where we could jump up and be okay with it. We were not the same.

I was numb. I wasn't happy anymore. I couldn't speak. My weight went over 200 pounds. Doctors belittled me. Friends left me hanging. People wanted me to go back to who I was, but she no longer existed. I realized that I was comfortable in my grief, but the people around me were not. This started my self-love journey. I could no longer cater to anyone else, but myself. I needed me in my life and that's exactly who I became.
