Audience readings are unique group experiences where Lisa connects with messages and insights in a shared setting, either privately at a client's chosen location or publicly through events such as "An Evening with Lisa J." Unlike what you may have seen on television, Lisa does not select specific individuals to reads .She believes connection is guided by the energy and messages that come forward.

Guests may be invited to ask questions or provide the first name of someone they'd like to connect with. For larger groups, a lottery system may be used to help create fairness. While Lisa strives to provide a meaningful experience for everyone, individual messages cannot be guaranteed due to time constraints and group size.

Lisa believes energy is not limited by physical distance. Whether a client is sitting across from her or connecting from across the country, connection can occur beyond what we traditionally experience through time and space. Lisa receives information through intuitive impressions; seeing, hearing, sensing, feeling, and knowing what comes forward and her role is to interpret and share what she receives.

Many clients actually prefer phone sessions because they feel more comfortable in their own environment, allowing them to be relaxed, open, and fully present.

Much of Lisa's work involves presentations, gallery events, private gatherings, and clients located throughout the country and around the world. After having an office for several years, she realized a physical location wasn't necessary to serve her clients effectively. Working remotely allows her to connect with more people while creating a comfortable, accessible experience.

Intuition has always been part of Lisa's life, although she didn't always understand what those experiences meant. As a child, she experienced things she couldn't explain, including sensing loved ones who had passed, confusing, but not frightening, since she simply lacked the language to describe them.

This is part of why Lisa is passionate about educating others: "Information is knowledge, and knowledge is wisdom."

Lisa receives information through intuitive impressions. She may see, hear, sense, feel, or simply "know" information that comes through during a session. There isn't one specific way messages arrive; her role is to remain open, interpret what she receives, and share what may provide meaning, insight, or validation.

Yes. Lisa believes energy is energy, whether it comes through a person, an animal, or someone who has transitioned. She enjoys connecting with the energy and messages associated with beloved pets; the bond between people and animals continues beyond physical presence.

Lisa is an Usui Reiki Master Teacher and a Seichim-Sekhem-Reiki Practitioner. She also works with crystals, stones, and other natural elements as she feels guided, personalizing each experience to what feels appropriate for the individual.

Yes. Lisa attended Michigan State University after high school and later graduated from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology along with a certificate in Developmental Psychology.

Lisa J. NOW! was a little bit of everything; heartfelt conversations, inspiration, laughter, life lessons, personal growth, and meaningful connections. Lisa often jokes the show was like a combination of Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, and Cheers rolled into one. It brought together authors, motivational leaders, spiritual teachers, and everyday people with powerful stories to share.

Most importantly, the show was always a shared experience, it belonged to the community of listeners who continued to show up and share their stories. Lisa looks forward to reconnecting with everyone again when the time is right.

Yes — Lisa believes intuition is something we all possess, just like breathing. We may not always recognize it, but we use it every day through feelings, instincts, and moments of knowing. Intuition doesn't look the same for everyone; some receive information through feelings, others through thoughts, images, dreams, or a strong sense of knowing.

Her philosophy: "Information is knowledge, and knowledge is wisdom."

Not usually! Lisa often jokes, "People scare me more than spirits." She feels guided toward helping people find comfort, understanding, and connection, and isn't drawn to the darker side of paranormal experiences. Her work focuses on messages of love, healing, hope, and support.

Lisa's beliefs are rooted in love, respect, and acceptance rather than one specific religious path. With a Jewish mother and Catholic father, she grew up appreciating different faith traditions and believes there are many paths people take to connect with what they understand as God, faith, or a higher power. Her philosophy: Live and let live.

Walk away, and do not give them any information or money. Anyone who uses fear, threats, or claims of curses to pressure someone into paying large sums is not empowering them, they are taking advantage of vulnerability. A true spiritual connection should help you feel stronger and more in control of your own life, never afraid or dependent. Trust your instincts — your personal power belongs to you.

There is no specific waiting period required. The most important factor isn't time, it's when you feel ready to receive the experience. Grief is personal, and everyone processes loss differently.

Lisa feels deeply connected to helping others find comfort, perspective, and validation. Her goal isn't to tell someone how to live their life, but to offer insight and a different perspective. Her guiding belief: "Change your perception, change your life."

Lisa affectionately refers to her spiritual guides as "My Peeps." When she asked for names, the message she received was simply to call them that a name that stuck because it reflects the relationship she feels with them: one of love, support, wisdom, and connection.

Lisa's work isn't focused on predicting the future; it's centered on messages, insight, awareness, and helping people better understand their current experiences. Sometimes information shared later connects to future events, but the greatest value comes from the guidance received in the present moment.

None. Lisa doesn't rely on tarot or angel cards, photographs, or other physical objects she works through intuitive impressions and the information she receives during the session. Typically she only needs a first name to begin, though she respects it if someone prefers not to share one.

Lisa believes service and professional work can exist together. Like any professional, she dedicates time, energy, and experience to what she does a session represents an exchange of time and expertise, just as people are compensated for skills and services in their own careers.

Both yes and no. Although Lisa feels deeply connected to spirit, she is still human and experiences loss, grief, and emotion like everyone else. She finds comfort in the belief that those we love continue to exist in a different form, and that connection and love do not simply disappear.

Lisa can only speak to her own approach. She believes connection is not limited by time, and that every person's experience is unique. She doesn't believe there's a universal timeline that determines when someone can seek comfort or connection after a loss, and encourages people to trust their own feelings and seek the support that feels right for them.

Lisa understands many people come to a session with questions they deeply want answered, but she doesn't work by providing information on demand or telling someone exactly what they hope to hear. Her work is guided by the messages that come through, and people often receive what they need for their journey which may not always be what they expected. The goal isn't simply to provide answers; it's to offer insight, understanding, and a new way of seeing.

Connection isn't dependent on physical location. Many clients choose phone sessions because they feel more comfortable in their own environment. Whether someone is nearby or across the country, Lisa approaches each session the same way with openness, intention, and the desire to provide meaningful insight and support.

Lisa J. Smith is the author of several books available through Amazon. She has also created two courses available through DailyOM: "Re Parent Your Inner Child" and "Talking to Dead People."

Everyone has the ability to be a ROCK STAR, not because of fame or success, but because of how they choose to show up in life. Years ago on her radio show, Lisa told a listener who had overcome a challenge, "You're a ROCK STAR!" and the phrase became something much bigger. It means:

• Standing in your own light
• Recognizing your value
• Showing up even during difficult moments
• Believing in your ability to overcome challenges
• Choosing to live with courage and authenticity

The word "should" can take away personal power; it can create feelings of judgment, pressure, or the belief that we're somehow wrong for making different choices. Lisa encourages people to replace "should" with "could." Instead of asking "What should I do?"; ask "What could I do?" That simple shift can open the door to new possibilities.

Lisa hopes people leave her sessions feeling empowered, understood, and connected. Her work isn't about creating fear or dependency it's about encouraging people to trust themselves, recognize their own inner wisdom, and find peace in their personal journey. Her message is simple: Trust yourself. Honor your journey. Remember that you are never alone.
