———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

My name is Lisa Charles, and I am the proud mother of three beautiful children and have been married to the love of my life for over 37 years.
I am the CEO of Embrace Your Fitness, LLC (EYF) — a wellness consultancy that brings innovative, creative, effective, and fun programs to individuals, corporations, and organizations around the world.

I am also an award-winning keynote speaker and best-selling author of “Yes! Commit. Do. Live.” — a book designed to help people tap into the Brain-Body Connection so they can transform their passions and desires into tangible results.

✨ A Lifelong Passion for Words, Healing, and Growth

From an early age, I’ve been captivated by the power of the spoken and written word to inspire and heal. That passion led me on a journey — from spoken word artist to courtroom attorney, from professional actress to international speaker and author.

Life, to me, has never been a straight line. It’s a beautifully unpredictable maze — every twist and turn shaping the next chapter of who we are meant to become.

As a state and federal prosecutor, I worked on cases involving rapists, child abusers, organized crime, and corrupt police officers. Each case represented shattered lives and the hope for healing. This work taught me how to listen deeply and connect compassionately — lessons that would later shape how I help others rebuild and thrive.

🌸 From Setback to Transformation

After years in law, I returned to the stage as a singer and actress, performing in off-Broadway productions, on television, and even singing at Carnegie Hall. But then life threw me a curveball — I lost my voice due to a throat infection.

That loss became the spark of a new beginning. Determined to heal, I turned to wellness — making myself my very first client. I lost 77 pounds, regained my health, and discovered a passion for empowering others to do the same.

And so, Embrace Your Fitness, LLC was born.

Today, I’m proud to call myself a Brain, Body, and Belief Alignment Expert, specializing in sleep management and breathing techniques that empower people to release limiting beliefs, renew their energy, and live what I call the Age-Defying Life — where you learn to release stress, restore sleep, and gain the clarity to live your dreams.

💪 The Challenges That Shaped My Business

Every business faces challenges that redefine its path. For me, two key moments tested my vision and deepened my purpose:

Knowing when to pivot
Thriving during a global pandemic

At EYF, our mission has always been to uplift and reconnect individuals to their wellness journey — helping them take charge of their minds and bodies while embracing who they truly are.

Challenge #1: The Business Pivot

In EYF’s early years, I focused primarily on fitness classes and personal training. It was fulfilling work that delivered excellent results, but it limited how many people I could reach in a day.

I realized my mission was bigger than the hours in a day. To serve a global community, I needed to evolve.

I began by analyzing the wellness programs I had created, connecting them to the needs of the communities I served. Through research, market testing, and reflection, I identified new opportunities — including corporate wellness programs, pop-up wellness villages, and employee de-stress and breathing workshops.

This pivot also inspired my first book, “Yes! Commit. Do. Live.”, and launched me into global speaking engagements on Wellness Reimagined and the Brain-Body Connection.

By embracing this change, EYF expanded beyond individual coaching to designing scalable, creative wellness solutions for organizations worldwide.

Challenge #2: The Pandemic Shift

The pandemic changed everything — for businesses, families, and individuals. Stress, anxiety, and isolation surged, impacting physical and mental health across the globe.

Like many entrepreneurs, I saw in-person sessions and events vanish almost overnight. Yet, amid the disruption came an opportunity to reimagine connection.

EYF pivoted once again — this time into the virtual world. I explored digital platforms that could bring teams and communities together through interactive wellness sessions. The key was engagement — fostering connection and belonging in a time of isolation.

Through these virtual programs, I saw how resilience, creativity, and a sense of purpose could thrive even during the darkest seasons.

The lesson?
Know your mission deeply — and you’ll always find a way to pivot, survive, and ultimately thrive.

🌟 Opportunities and Lessons Learned

Some of the greatest opportunities in my career appeared when I was busiest or least expecting them. One such moment came when I was offered the role of Fitness/Wellness Research Coordinator for the Aging & Brain Health Alliance at Rutgers University.

Despite my full schedule, I paused, reflected, and ultimately said “yes.” That decision deepened my understanding of brain science — knowledge that now enriches all my programs, books, and talks.

I believe every business leader should:

💭 Pause – Don’t rush. Analyze opportunities with intention.
🌱 Reflect – Ensure each opportunity aligns with your mission, vision, and true passions.
💫 Be Free – Say “no” when it’s not aligned, and be all in when it is.

💛 My Core Principles: Gratitude, Kindness, and Health

🌼 Be Grateful

“When you are grateful, fear disappears, and abundance appears.” – Tony Robbins

Gratitude has been my compass through every chapter of life. Science shows that gratitude improves mental, emotional, and physical health — enhancing sleep, reducing inflammation, and attracting opportunities for growth.

🌸 Be Kind

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop

Kindness activates oxytocin — the “love hormone” — which promotes trust, reduces stress, and elevates mood. In business, a culture of kindness builds stronger teams, healthier relationships, and lasting success.

🌿 Be Healthy

Health isn’t just physical; it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual.
From mindful breathing and sleep renewal to daily movement and positive mindset shifts — wellness should be woven into every workplace.

That’s why I created Wellness Reimagined — a science-based, integrative approach combining gratitude, kindness, and fitness to redefine what true well-being looks like in today’s world.
