Then they can become a living, loving light for others who have lost their way. For millions of people across the world, Lisa McCourt is that light, and this book is that way. Weaving together personal anecdotes with insights from trusted guides and teachers, Free Your Joy provides a practical, step-by-step plan for removing any and all obstacles in your path.

“Lisa has a gift for making the attainment of constant inner joy feel both do-able and possible. The 12 Keys she explores reach deep inside and help reveal not only where your inner joy is hiding, but how to live day-to-day to nurture and nourish it into your life. Best of all, Free Your Joy makes you feel joyful, hopeful, and positive while even just reading it!”

“Lisa McCourt captures all the values I hold dear and expresses them in a believable, engaging, and exciting way. Honest, from the heart, and inspiring.”

“Are we all looking for more joy in our lives but are so overwhelmed with the state of the world that we don’t know where to find it? Then open this book and find your answers with the wisdom, humor, and contagious joy that Lisa McCourt can offer to you! Your soul and heart will thank you!”

“Simply brilliant. This book is a masterclass in creating the life you’ve always wanted. The true genius of it, though, is the way Lisa has distilled a lifetime of substantial spiritual teachings into 12 digestible keys. In the most approachable, playful, and practical ways imaginable, Lisa delivers on her promise to give you all the tools you need to step into a life of sustained joy and happiness. If you trust her, your life will be transformed, and how you see and interact with the world, yourself, and the people around you will be changed forever.”

The wisdom in Free Your Joy reached the part of me that was ready for the next adventure in my ongoing journey toward overall wellness. Even with all the pieces of my life in place just the way I’d carefully arranged them, my ability to recognize the joy in my everyday experiences was limited. With Lisa’s guidance, I have all the tools I need to elevate my “Joy Setpoint,” and with just a few weeks practice, I’ve already started noticing that I’m smiling more often and that I’m more accepting of the stuff I’d rather avoid. At the same time, my appreciation for small everyday experiences has grown. Free Your Joy has offered me a fresh perspective from which to view my life and the people in it. Thank you, Lisa, for being the teacher who appeared when this student was ready to experience increasing levels of joy.

“Lisa McCourt is a daring and adventurous life pioneer. If you are ready and willing to follow her seven steps, I promise you will be forever (and fabulously) changed.”

Free Your Joy has a clear message; Joy is our natural state. This book is like a complete workshop that clearly explains how to remove all the clouds that stand between you and the sun of your natural state. However, it isn’t just philosophy, the book is filled from beginning to end with exercises because, as Lisa puts it, learning Joy is a path of doing. What stands out the most is the kindness on each page, as the author is so genuine and understanding as a guide. It would be impossible not to change your energy and get closer to who you truly are after reading this.

“Wildly applicable, soul-nourishing guidance for flooding your precious life with joy!” 

“I just finished reading Free Your Joy by Lisa McCourt and I’m happy to say this is the life roadmap that you have been looking for.

Lisa shares her years of experience working with clients and Joy School students to distill all her wisdom in this book. Grab your journal and spend some time with this book. You won’t regret it!”

” . . . I never thought I would connect the dots like Lisa’s words have guided me to do. I never thought I would ever read about one’s vibration described in such a loving and integrative manner. But I’m now ready for joy to come alive for me in a new way. If you have picked this book up, then I imagine you are ready for that too.”

It’s obvious that this is a work of love that will continue to serve many people for many years to come. Savor it, work the exercises, and observe what you experience as you do. As you read and work the twelve keys, you’ll find yourself uplifted and knowing that joy has been inside you all along, waiting to be recognized and released!”

“Lisa McCourt has developed a brilliant step-by-step system for relocating yourself as the juicy, delicious, vibrant creature you were born to be. Allow these seven steps to launch you into unprecedented heights of self-adoration.”

“Lisa McCourt practices what she preaches, and the fact that she preaches joy is a huge gift for us all. In Free Your Joy, Lisa guides us into the creation of sustainable happiness with insightful teachings, accessible practices, and endless compassion. This is a book you will return to again and again, and each time it will not only remind you of your power to manifest a more joyful life, but show you exactly how to go about doing it. This book is an absolute treasure and could only be written by one who embodies the very joy she encourages us all to set free.”

“Lisa McCourt is a shining light, showing us in clear, practical, and powerful ways how to bring more meaning and joy to our daily lives and communities. Energy and mindset work is the future of healing, and Lisa – having long dedicated her life to these practices – is quite ahead of the curve! Raising our individual vibration, healing ourselves and raising our ‘joy set point’ are gifts each and every one of us possesses. Thank you, Lisa, for inviting us all to tap into our innate healing and experience new levels of joy in our everyday lives!”

“Thank goodness there is actually a manual for how to live a joyful life! There was a time in my life when I did not think it was possible to be joyful. I thought I was relegated to feeling blue all the time; in fact, I did not know I was low-key unhappy until I started feeling real joy. It was such a relief to realize this was something that I could change, and do, and learn. Lisa McCourt has given us the keys to the kingdom of joy. Hallelujah!”

“Lisa hands you the keys to happiness here. Of course, it is always up to you to use them and unlock the doors. Life gives us challenges, and often simple and beautiful gifts. This book is a wonderful gift.”

“Lisa exudes Joy like it’s nobody’s business. She teaches by example that Joy is actually everybody’s business, and we will heal ourselves by opening up to it in a greater way. Lisa is a master of Joy. In the same way George Washington Carver talked to the plants, Lisa has courted Joy to learn its secrets and she shares them beautifully in this book and by her living.”

“Lisa carries the archetypal spirit of the mother, who is sincere in her quest to love everyone she meets into the fullness of their being. And she does this in the most innocent and tender of ways. Her teachings are always from the heart. Readers starved of affection and warmth from their own species will no longer be so when they read this book and allow themselves to receive Lisa’s love.”

“As a collective, we have a great need for writings like Free Your Joy. Lisa McCourt shares, through her authentic gift with words, how to align with inner happiness. Lisa’s energetic vibrancy of joy comes through each page, quickly becoming my morning coffee routine. It felt as though Lisa was right beside me with her inspiring guidance throughout. The monthly keys are brilliant, with all the interaction, direction, and accountability essentials I appreciate in a book. Free Your Joy is an eye-opening read and one you will want to recommend to everyone. Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your beautiful, magical self with each of us.”

“From time to time in her book Free Your Joy, Lisa will introduce an essential bit of wisdom with the words, “And to you, my darling reader . . .” and every time I read them, I felt as if she were placing a perceptive hand on my shoulder and gently asking me to pay attention. In those synchronistic moments I received a wisdom offering that felt timely and needed. I know that as you read her brilliance, you will receive the perfect gifts for your heart as well.”

“Having worked closely with Lisa for nearly two years now, I can attest that her methods are solid, her joy practices are extremely effective, and she has made them as accessible in this book as any teacher ever could. She’s a genuinely joyful being with a genuine desire to guide you to become one as well. I’ve watched her grow her intuitive gifts, which are immense, and which have made her group facilitation even more powerful than it already was. It is a privilege to teach with her and walk this path with her. If you follow the steps she’s laid out for you here, there is a very good chance you’ll transform your life.”

“Free Your Joy is a truly wonderful roadmap for bringing your own innate joy to the surface. It is full of practical tools and insights that help you cultivate the experience and expression of the joy of life that sometimes mysteriously eludes us. And Lisa is the perfect facilitator to bring this material to us. Having owned a bookstore for many years I interacted with many teachers and writers. Few of them embodied their message as Lisa does. When it comes to her, I would say that joy is her native language. It’s who she is, and her passion is to help others find their joy.”

“A fun and practical training generously sprinkled with brushstrokes of genius. You will never view yourself—or the world—the same way again.”

“I have been working with Lisa for about 6 months both privately and in the joy training groups. In such a short period of time she has gotten deep inside my protective shell and cracked it wide open. Our private sessions together are truly a wonderment. Lisa is able to get deep into me; past the intellect, deeper than the emotions. I’m not sure of the why or the how of it, but I can see it manifest in my day to day. I have always been incessantly hard on myself. Now I am finding room for compassion and forgiveness. I am able to feel pride for my accomplishments. I notice I’m beating up on myself so much less. Lisa has given me tools to take control of the negative inner voice that has never done me any good. As I learn to apply these tools, a world of infinite possibilities opens up before me. At the end of each session Lisa checks in on how I’m doing. Each and every time I’m stunned to realize how happy I am. The tension is gone, I’m joyous. giddy, unencumbered. I can’t stop smiling!”

“Whether you opt for the online or in-person trainings, Lisa McCourt creates magic in your life. Get ready to be energized with positivity and make real connections with like-minded friends. The work will take you deep inside your soul, allow you to clear away the clutter, and ultimately see the world with a fresh new perspective. Lisa’s coaching incorporates the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and many others. I discovered my inner bliss and feel rejuvenated. Well worth the tiny investment, and this could not have come to me at a better time!”

“We live in an age of ennui and frustrated lives. People with more powerful tools and knowledge than ever before in history somehow end up creeping along in life’s slow lane on two cylinders. Then comes Lisa McCourt. Ms. McCourt is that sunshine presence who invites us into the shadow of ourselves. With the skill of a therapist, she offers exercises which open doors into long-denied closets.”

“Thank you for the acuity of your wisdom! How closely you listen; how safe and aware you are. Your great knowledge is offered to me with such beautiful, radiant compassion. Thank you! You have an astounding abundance of lifelines, life preservers, lifeboats to offer, and you presented the ones I most needed just in time. What a shift in awareness! The reverberations continue! My time with you is opening doors and I am stepping through. I am so grateful for Joy School. Through your presence, you have the keys to joy, to the inherent freedom, and you share those keys. Lucky me; lucky world. You are bringing light everywhere, in every conversation.”

“Working with Lisa is like drinking coffee with your best friend—who has just cracked the code to living a life of joy—and is sharing her discovery with you bit by juicy bit. It’s an individual call to action that illustrates how only through extraordinary self-knowledge and self-love can we create a more loving collective reality. Take a journey into the self; witness and lay claim to the spectacular scenery contained therein, and emerge on the other side with a passion for and commitment to living a life based on radical authenticity, deep self-love and blissful co-creation. When we recognize the stamp of love on all that is contained within our physical world, we see the signature of the Divine. We feel the true essence of ourselves and one another, and we hear a life of juicy joy knocking at our door.”

“Lisa is a bridge builder. Give yourself a treat and walk on across this pleasurable bridge with her! She knows where she’s taking you. It’s into a new territory where life is clearer, sweeter, more real, and much more powerful than the place where our mass culture wants us to be.”

“Where to start? There can’t possibly be enough space available to tell you about my experience with Lisa. Having studied ‘woo woo’ for the past six years, doing affirmations, projecting positive thoughts until it hurt and never quite achieving the results I had hoped for, I became frustrated and to be honest – a bit angry at the Universe.  I finally broke and instead of my daily affirmations, I railed at God/Universe and I begged for guidance in how to manifest my desires. I have to tell you that nothing has ever changed my life the way Lisa has! Finally . . . the means to deal with negativity, something sorely lacking in all of the self-development books I had studied over the years. It was as though a dear friend had looked into my mind, my heart, my soul and knew exactly what I needed to finally manifest my dreams.”

“Bursting with truth, guts, and sage wisdom! Lisa McCourt will challenge you, cheer for you, and hug you!”

“I’ve hosted many spiritual superstars and Hay House authors at my center, but Lisa McCourt’s writing workshop was truly something unique. The information was exactly what the attendees were looking for in order to bring their writing goals to the next level, and her exercises brought out some remarkable new material and insights. Her expertise was valuable for all in attendance, some seeking her up-to-the-moment information about the publishing industry, some needing to clarify what their most authentic writing voice was, and others just eager to go within and journey through her therapeutic exercises to achieve self-healing. The attendees had nothing but good things to say about the event, and we look forward to bringing her up from Florida to teach at the center again.”

“You will feel as though a dear friend has looked into your mind, heart, and soul and given you the keys to the kingdom! Whether you have been studying ‘woo-woo’ (as Lisa calls it) valiantly for years, can meditate your socks off and outline the Law of Attraction in detail to anyone who will listen, or you are a newbie to self-enlightenment and personal energy, this work will become your Holy Grail! Yes, yes, we all know that sending out negative energy brings back — you guessed it — negative energy! So what do we do with negative thoughts and feelings then? Lisa helps you to realize that these emotions are part of us, an important part, and she gives you the means to deal with them effectively. You will deconstruct and then reconstruct your life. You will be filled with the self-knowledge and self-love needed to create the wonderfully authentic life you deserve. Lisa will take your hand and guide you as you travel to those dark recesses of your mind and shine the light of forgiveness and acceptance where you need it most. It’s not an easy journey, but the rewards are miraculous! Let’s face it, the reality is that if our lives are not what we want them to be, ultimately, it’s because we don’t really feel like we deserve it. We don’t love ourselves enough, imperfect as we are, to receive the wonderful miracles that are waiting for us. Lisa helps us to sweep up the dirt, clear the cobwebs and get the renovation started! Lisa states, ‘Once you’ve brought the truest you out into the light, you’ll learn to fall so madly in love with that glorious creature that you will never feel the need to hide it again. You’ll feel blissfully comfortable in your own skin. And from that vantage point in the words of Franz Kafka, ‘the world will freely offer itself to you. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet’.”

Selfishly, I love the online joy training because I can’t be in Florida in person. But I would love to be there in person. Lisa, you are an amazing coach, and I am so grateful for the opportunities that you are providing, online and in person, for all of us to raise our consciousness and live a better life. Thank you!”

“I recently attended Lisa McCourt’s workshop, and I must say, it was honestly the best workshop that I ever attended. First, she presented fascinating information. Seriously. But, even more importantly, she drew on our personal experiences with exercises and an interactive format, making this so rewarding and memorable. And, Lisa just has a way of connecting with the audience … her energy, her smile, her passion about the subject … I was blown away. It was completely inspiring and really made me enthusiastic about what’s next in life. Cannot thank her enough! So excited!”

“I am blessed to be a part of this experience. I got an incredible gift to look at myself, stretch a little in my ability to be vulnerable, and learn some amazing tools to grow. It was perfect timing for the things going on in my life. It was also incredible to connect with people and see myself reflected through them and dig a little deeper into my heart. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering!”

“Lisa McCourt lovingly leads us on a journey to create a satisfying life, full of joy and love. Lisa gently identifies the blocks that keep us from finding our joy and shows us that by taking the small actionable steps she lays out, we can change our path.”

“Lisa McCourt is such a generous and loving spirit, and I felt as though I connected with her on a deeper level because she revealed her own struggles, which made her very relatable . . . Extremely useful and highly impactful tips and exercises.”

“I highly recommend that anyone that can sign up for this awesome experience. I just finished 8 weeks with Rob and Lisa and a group of other individuals, and have signed up for this next adventure with them. The love that is shared so freely from both Rob and Lisa and the awesome coaching and knowledge was beyond fantastic! They both shared personal experiences from their heart to assist us all in becoming more conscious of our own true souls and selves. I looked so forward to those days together, that I am missing them and the other beautiful souls in the group. I am excited to be joining back in with them and with you that are blessed enough to join in this experience!”

“I was in a bit of a slump and trying to transition to a new place. This was just what I needed. I attended a conference sponsored by Lisa, and without exaggeration my life started to become better. I recognized the joy in my life, focused on what I wanted, and as the months went on my head was clearer, my life more organized and my relationships all the better. Yes, it did happen, and I believe that Lisa McCourt had a great deal to do with the transition.”

“Lisa’s joy training group provides the support and guidance I need during these uncertain, turbulent times. It’s a good reminder that I don’t need to know the outcome of future events to be OK right now. But that doesn’t mean the future is entirely out of my hands. Lisa’s insight helped me better recognize what drives me so that I can more purposely guide my life toward my hopes and dreams for tomorrow.”

“Lisa McCourt lives her words. She truly lives her life to the fullest and that’s why she is able to reach out and draw us into a place where we can see our own lives with new, re-opened eyes. Lisa’s classes are a powerful extension of her writing where she helps us to gain an honest and holistic awareness about ourselves while guiding us to create the glorious, gutsy life that we came here to create.”

“Lisa McCourt has a gracious, lively, fun and captivating energy. You could enjoy anything that she has to offer because of the way she presents herself and whatever she has to share. She has done her homework in the spiritual field studying with many well-known teachers. Her spirit, her genuine heart and her form of expression is well enjoyed! She is someone who you would like to meet again and again.”

“I’ve always wanted to spend time with those people who knew secret things. With Lisa McCourt, you get an opportunity to do just that. Plop down, sit up straight, and listen attentively to a woman who knows more than a few secrets for living a life of unbridled passion and radical honesty. If you’ve ever lifted the curtain of your heart and found the scenery was falling apart, you’ll find Lisa’s training to be just the psychological, emotional, and spiritual renovation you need. She’ll lead you to fall deeply in love with your own intrinsically wonderful self. In a world populated with billions of people, billions of different journeys, and billions of doors to enlightenment, Lisa McCourt reminds us – with tenderness, love, honesty, and hilarity – that the only real journey is the one within.”

“The last few weeks have been quite the roller coaster ride for me. I have been diligently practicing multiple times daily. Shortly after applying Lisa’s exercises, I started having spots where I would find myself crying for no apparent reason. I knew I was not depressed, so it was strange. It felt almost as if I was grieving, but I had not recently experienced anything to cause grief, no loss, etc.  Then I realized I had actually begun dealing with the negative things I had buried deep for so long; they were already beginning to bubble to the surface. The exercises helped me to truly cleanse and deal, accept, and let go and the crying has stopped, replaced with a truly all the way down deep feeling of lightness and real happiness. It is a wonderfully marvelous feeling!”

“Lisa McCourt delivers just what the world needs, a great big juicy dose of love and authenticity. You’ll learn the simple, essential steps you need to take to transform your world in the here and now. If you want a life of peace, purpose, and breathtaking bliss, then listen to Lisa.”

“Lisa is an A-list writer of books about love for little people and big people, a teacher of many things, and superstar host of Joy School. If you are frustrated by how many times a day you seem to bang your head into walls and are interested in a peek behind the Universe’s curtain to see how some things really work, Lisa is your gal.”

“What a powerfully transformative center of light Joy School is! Having served and spoken on numerous stages and podcasts over the years, I have found that my times serving Lisa’s tribe and programs were truly ‘next level’ affairs. Lisa makes being a guest speaker incredibly easy on the soul!

“Lisa McCourt is the real deal, a genuine life pioneer, and her seven steps will empower anyone willing to follow the trail she has blazed. I interviewed her on my radio show and her words are as authentic as she wishes you to be. Don’t settle for less any longer.”

“Lisa McCourt exudes a kind of honesty and energy that can only be seen in folks who are truly at ease in their own skin. She is a rare talent who possesses a deep and abiding desire to share her experience and talents with those around her.”

“If you want to be more vibrant, fun and juicy while committed to your personal growth, Lisa shows you how.”

“I always hated all this stuff. Guys like me would never read books or take courses like this. I’d take one look and think you were just another one of those spacey New Age idiots. But you’re not. You’re so rock solid. Everything I throw at you—you know how to make me see it differently. What you do here is honestly impressive. I’m blown away.”

“Throughout our lives, we’re faced with challenges to maintaining a positive and joyful outlook on life, and now we finally have a guide to turn to. Lisa McCourt has produced a simple yet profound approach for creating a happy and joyful life no matter what your circumstances. Lisa can change your life!”

“Thank you, Lisa McCourt! Much of what I hadn’t understood about my life is now clear. I dove in and soon found myself held captive by her sincerity and passion throughout the seven steps. The writing and feeling exercises in the first four steps took me deep into experiences that no longer serve me well, while the last three steps created positive initiatives to replace the negatives I dismantled in the first four steps. McCourt’s life of studying and experiencing the human condition has become a reference for how to navigate my life.”

“Warning! This book might make you late to dinner. All I want to do is sit and read more right this moment. This is clearly a magical book gifted to us from an enlightened soul. Enjoy!”

“Thank you so much, Lisa, for your work with my daughter. Rachel is so blessed to have learned your gift of joy! Her heart is filled with love and self worth and a new perspective for the new beginning in her life as a young adult. What amazing tools to give your child going off to college — the gift of self esteem, pride and love for yourself and others. She will carry these things with her forever.”
