to the moon and back:
a childhood under the influence
Share the Hope
Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting worlds. There was the world she longed for and lived in on weekends – her mother’s world, which was the fanatical, puritanical cult of the Moonies – and the world she was forced to live in during the week – her father’s world, which was based in sex, drugs, and the squalor of life in New York City’s East Village in the 1970’s.
What Lisa Does

Writes
Lisa’s long-running blog offers hope and potential joy to others who may feel beaten or damaged by their upbringing or circumstances.
Lisa shares stories and thoughts from her unconventional childhood and self-destructive early 20s,
as well as her challenges, peace, and healing of today.
to the moon
and back
Told with spirited candor,
to the moon and back reveals

Coaching, Consulting, & Speaking
As a partner at Chatsworth Consulting Group, Lisa focuses on leadership consulting and executive coaching, and spends much of her time speaking, writing, teaching,
and presenting ideas and approaches to life and to business.

Lead with your heart
As it often is, it was during a yoga class. As it often is, it was our instructor. She guided us to lead with our hearts. Now, I know she was thinking about our yoga pose – to lead with our hearts as we bent over our legs. To keep our backs straight and lead with our...
Know/no where to go
Again, yoga class. Again, listening to the instructor as I slowed my breathing and lessened my expectations for my practice. Again, something that made me pause and reflect. Only this time, the pause and reflection continue. Because what the instructor said was, “Know...
