Transform Your Mind, Transform Your Life
From 273 pounds to unstoppable confidence - discover the unglamorous but profoundly human path to becoming your best self
Meet Lisa Labre
Lisa Labre lives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, with her partner, Serge, and a blended family that includes his two boys, Patrick and Justin, Justin's girlfriend, Naomie, and their ridiculously adorable Morkie, Bailey.
Lisa’s health and fitness journey began more than two decades ago. As she went from teenage athlete to a professional yo-yo dieter, she hit her breaking point on the cusp of her 40th birthday. Out of work, separated, and living with her brother in what could only be described as a "roach motel," she found herself at her highest weight ever—273 pounds. From this unlikely place, she made a series of life-altering decisions that set her on an "unglamorous but profoundly human" path of self-discovery. Her unlikely journey led her to rediscover the joy of movement, find a reserve of "take-no-prisoners" confidence, and redefine her relationship with her body and herself.
Now, Lisa focuses on embracing her inner badass and helping others by sharing what she has learned. Her mission is to help others embrace the unique, imperfect, and endlessly fascinating experience of becoming their best selves.
About Muscle Power, Mind Power
Drawing on her personal journey of losing over 90 pounds, Lisa’s book, Muscle Power, Mind Power, offers an honest and often humorous look at transforming your relationship with your body and mind. It’s her love letter to anyone who's ever felt like a "seasoned veteran in the art of diet failure," or for those who have spent their lives striving to be smaller, feeling like they had to take up less space. She shares how her "impressive collection of missteps" allowed her to stumble upon a reserve of inner strength she didn’t know she had, freeing her to go after the life she wanted, not just the body she thought she needed.
