Lisa

Everywhere We Go

We invite you to join us on a remarkable journey through the life of Lisa Wallace, a woman who has faced and overcome significant challenges and adversity. From growing up in a family with a deep passion for horses and harness racing to dealing with dyslexia and a traumatic event that forever changed her family dynamics, Lisa's story is an inspiring testament to resilience, love, and the strength of family bonds.

Lisa shares her family's unique history and connection to the world of horses, trotting, and harness racing, a sport with deep roots in North America, Europe, and Canada, but surprisingly little presence in Ireland. We hear about her struggles growing up with dyslexia, the incredible support she received from her family, and how her dyslexia unexpectedly became a source of strength following a terrifying incident — a robbery in which her father was shot and left paralyzed. Listen in as Lisa recounts how her father's unwavering resilience and joy in the face of adversity have shaped her own outlook on life.

Lisa's story takes us through her personal journey of mental health struggles, from self-harm to an abusive relationship and a desperate act that led to a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. She opens up about her experiences with mental health treatment, the healing process, and how she has used her experiences to help others. Furthermore, Lisa touches on her work in setting up a charity in Bangladesh, focused on helping children in dire need of assistance. It’s an emotional ride filled with powerful stories of resilience, forgiveness, and unwavering family strength. Come along with us as we navigate the highs and lows of Lisa's life.
