Los Angeles, CA — October 15, 2025 — For years, Lisa McFarlane was the woman who seemed to have it all together: a devoted single mother, a hard-working corporate professional, and a woman of deep faith. On the surface, her life looked steady: a stable income, a respectable title, and the structure that so many people spend their entire careers chasing. But inside, she felt a void that no paycheck could fill. The more she climbed the corporate ladder, the more she realized she was climbing toward something that didn’t fully align with her purpose.
Lisa’s journey wasn’t born out of convenience; it was born out of conviction. After praying for clarity and strength, one night she felt God leading her toward something greater. This life would merge her passion for helping others with her understanding of financial stability and empowerment. In a move many would consider risky, Lisa made the life-altering decision to step away from corporate America. She traded comfort for calling, stability for significance, and in doing so, began the next chapter of her life, one defined by faith, resilience, and purpose.
The Breaking Point That Became the Turning Point
For Lisa, the journey from employee to entrepreneur wasn’t overnight. As a single mother, she knew what it meant to stretch a dollar, to carry the weight of responsibility alone, and to show up for everyone even when she was running on empty. Those experiences became the very foundation of her future success.
“There were nights when I questioned everything,” Lisa recalls. “But every time I wanted to give up, I reminded myself that my children were watching. I couldn’t just tell her about faith, I had to live it.”
Her faith became her anchor. With each setback, she found strength in prayer. With every financial hardship, she learned lessons that would later become tools to teach others. Lisa realized that her struggles were not punishments; they were preparation. They were shaping her into the woman she needed to become to fulfill her purpose.
The Birth of ‘Lisa the Money Coach’
As Lisa began rebuilding her life outside of the corporate world, she leaned into what had always come naturally, helping people. Friends and colleagues often turned to her for advice on budgeting, rebuilding credit, and creating structure around their finances. Before long, those one-on-one conversations evolved into workshops, mentorship programs, and speaking engagements that impacted the lives of hundreds.
That’s when “Lisa the Money Coach” was born, not just as a brand, but as a movement.
Lisa’s mission was clear: to teach financial literacy through the lens of faith, empowerment, and personal responsibility. She wanted people, especially women, to see that managing money wasn’t just about numbers; it was about mindset.
“When you understand money, you can take back your power,” Lisa says. “But when you combine that with faith and purpose, you can create generational freedom.”
Her coaching philosophy focuses on three pillars: education, empowerment, and execution. Lisa teaches her clients the basics of budgeting and credit, but more importantly, she helps them uncover the emotional and spiritual patterns that influence how they handle money.
Faith at the Foundation
What sets Lisa apart isn’t just her financial knowledge; it’s her heart. Every program she creates and every talk she gives is deeply rooted in her faith. She believes that financial independence begins with spiritual clarity.
“Money is a tool,” she explains. “It’s not meant to control us; it’s meant to serve us. When you understand that God has already given you the power to create wealth, your relationship with money can change.”
Her faith-driven perspective resonates deeply with audiences who are tired of surface-level financial advice. Lisa’s work bridges the gap between practical strategy and spiritual insight, helping people see that true abundance is holistic, it’s emotional, mental, spiritual, and financial.
From Corporate to Calling: The Entrepreneurial Evolution
Lisa’s decision to leave corporate America wasn’t just a career shift; it was an act of obedience. That step of faith opened doors she might not have imagined. Over time, she expanded her work into multiple ventures, becoming a serial entrepreneur whose impact stretches beyond coaching.
She now leads several businesses focused on empowerment, education, and community growth, each one inspired by her belief that purpose and profit can coexist when built on integrity and intention. From hosting financial literacy seminars to collaborating with nonprofit organizations, Lisa’s influence continues to grow across industries and audiences.
Yet, despite her success, she remains grounded in gratitude. “Every business I’ve started came from a place of service,” she says. “I didn’t build companies to chase money. I built them to create impact, and God has blessed me because of that.”
A Message to Women Everywhere
Lisa’s journey speaks to women who’ve ever felt overlooked, overworked, or underappreciated. It’s for the single mothers who are trying to hold it all together and the professionals who know there’s more to life than a paycheck. Her message is simple: faith still works, purpose still matters, and financial independence is possible no matter your starting point.
“Being a single mom taught me strength. Leaving corporate taught me courage. But building something from nothing taught me faith,” Lisa reflects. “And that’s the message I want every woman to carry: that God can use your struggle to build your strength.”
The Legacy of Lisa the Money Coach
Today, Lisa continues to inspire through her mentorship programs, live events, and online platform, where she offers tools, resources, and teachings designed to help individuals create financial and spiritual alignment. Her influence reaches beyond business; it’s about legacy, about helping others design lives they don’t need to escape from.
Her journey has not been without obstacles, but through faith and persistence, she’s turned every challenge into a stepping stone. Lisa is a living example that success is not measured by titles or income; it’s measured by the lives you touch and the freedom you create for yourself and others.
From the boardrooms of corporate America to the classrooms of financial education, Lisa’s story is a powerful reminder that purpose is often found on the other side of pain. What began as a step of faith has grown into a calling that empowers countless others to rewrite their own financial stories.
