Joy and purpose were never meant to be rivals. Here, they grow in the same soil.
Joy Aligned Life is for women who give so much to the world and are ready for their own joy to thrive right alongside it. Through coaching and mountain retreats, you’ll discover how good life feels when joy becomes your compass, and how naturally that lifts the people around you, too.
The full Joy Aligned Life website is taking root and will bloom soon. This sneak peek is an invitation to plant one small seed of joy in your day.
Discover Your Joy Style
Curious how you’re wired for joy?
Joy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some of us feel it in stillness, some in motion, some in connection, some in creation. Knowing your Joy Style is the first step toward intentionally building a life that feels joyful by design.
Take the free Joy Styles Quiz and find out whether you lead with Earth, Fire, Water, or Air Joy. You’ll get your results plus a 16-page Joy Style Guide that goes deep into the way you’re naturally built for joy.

A Day Made Just for You and Your Joy
Some days belong to everyone else. This one is entirely yours.
Illuminate Your Joy is a one-on-one day with me, held in person at my cabins in the mountains outside Colorado Springs, or virtually anywhere you are by Zoom. Together we’ll get to know your Joy Style and look at what your Seven Seeds of Joy assessment reveals: where your joy is already thriving, and where it’s quietly waiting for your attention. From there, we’ll choose the two joy areas that matter most and explore them in real depth.
You won’t leave with vague inspiration. You’ll leave with specific, tangible ways to bring more joy into your everyday life.
A full day. One focus. Yours.

a 4-Day Mountain Retreat
You’ve been busy making the world better for others. Now, it’s time to bring more joy to life for you.
Picture it: four days at 7,400 feet, tucked into the forest, where historic cabins and well-appointed “glamping” tents under the stars become home. You’ll experience joy teachings beside the creek, wonder walks on the trails, hot tub soaks and massages, and s’mores and laughter around the fire pit. We’ll also journey to Garden of the Gods for morning yoga and into the quaint mountain town of Manitou Springs for a joy quest.
This is an intimate gathering of 6-8 people who care deeply, lead with purpose, and give generously to others. Expect real connection. Expect the kind of laughter that gives joy a voice and a few happy tears when joy finds room to grow. Expect to finally exhale as joy takes root and begins to flourish inside you.

Meet Lisa
This work is personal for me.
For years, I believed my value was in what I did for others. Through missions and advocacy, caring for my daughter and aging father, pouring into my students and clients, that was where meaning lived, whether I felt joy along the way seemed beside the point. I wasn’t depleted on purpose; I thought I was doing it right.
Life didn’t start to feel better by me trying harder. It improved when I learned to listen again, to my body, my heart, and the quiet truth of what brings me alive. Joy became my compass to clarity, courage, and alignment. That’s what I’m here to share with you.
Where Does Your Joy Journey Begin?
Maybe you’re ready to learn more or save your spot in an upcoming retreat. Or maybe you’re simply feeling the pull toward a more joyful life and want to talk it through. Either way, let’s find a time. No pressure, no pitch. Just a real conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and ways to close that gap.
Let’s stay close while Joy Aligned Life comes to life.
Be the first to know when the website launches, when retreat registration begins, and when new content to help you explore your joy arrives. I’ll send only what’s worth your time.
Joyfully,
Lisa Summers
