Lisa Kalmin grew up in the 70s as a Jewish American Princess. She loved her bling, her family, and her friends, not in that order. Lisa's life was actually great; MBA, great job, high rise condo. But Lisa knew in her heart there was more to life than happy hours and Neiman Marcus. When she participated in a life changing transformational seminar, everything shifted...forever.

Lisa left her investment job and started training and coaching people to shift their perspective, their mindset and their life. She has never looked back.

For the last 38 years, Lisa Kalmin has coached and trained over 50,000 people in the principles and techniques to transform their lives. By realizing that the problem is how we see the problem, her students have created wealth, healed their bodies, found true love and most of all experienced true joy and freedom.

In her first book, "The Problem Is How You See The Problem", Lisa pulls back the veil on how to live an inspired and successful life. She believes you are always one conversation away from a breakthrough!

Lisa is the mother of twin boys and lives in Costa Mesa, California.
