Lisa Begley is the host of The Sock Drawer Podcast, and the founder of One Brave Step — a platform created to support bold, honest conversations about life’s pivots, purpose, and the courage it takes to start fresh. As an author, speaker, and certified life coach, Lisa brings both warmth and wisdom to her work, helping adults — especially those 50 and beyond — embrace the beautiful, messy, and often misunderstood second half of life.
With a career spanning 40+ years and 28 diverse roles—including COO, franchise owner, international flight attendant, health advisor, and business coach—Lisa knows a thing or two about starting over (again and again).
She has built companies, raised a family, faced burnout, and closed a dream business, yet continues to show up every day believing that “your story isn’t over—it’s just getting good.”
A lifelong learner, Lisa is passionate about personal growth, meaningful conversations, and helping others find clarity when life feels chaotic. She’s also the author of The Sock Drawer Philosophy, a self-discovery guide about letting go, moving on, and finding meaning.
Today, Lisa lives her best boomer life with her remarried first-husband, Trent, their five (soon-to-be six) grandchildren, and a growing community of listeners ready to rewrite what aging looks—and feels—like.
