Thank you for joining us for episode 449 of Live Happy Now.

If you're looking for an adventure to start the new year, why not take an interfield

trip?

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and today I'm sitting down with Lisa Renee Hall, a mental health

wellness advocate and author of the Interfield Trip Workbook,

which helps us explore what drives us, what oppresses us, and to recognize our personal biases.

Armed with that information, Lisa says we can change the way we move through the world and transform our relationships,

which seems like a great way to start the year. Let's find out more.

Lisa, happy new year. Happy new year, Paula. Thank you. It is. It's a shiny brand new year.

We're all excited about that. And we wanted to kick it off with you because you've got this

terrific workbook that really helps us explore a lot of things inside.

And so this is a time when people are looking at new beginnings.

And your workbook fits so well into that.

So to get started, tell us what an interfield trip is.

So the inner field trip, it's a way to go internal within and ask yourself those deep questions

about the internalized messaging that you have, that you have, that you hold, that you've been

socialized to believe, that hinders your personal growth. So the way I conceptualize the inner field trip, I'm a hiker.

I hike all the time. The way I conceptualize inner field trip is like a hike. So we go, we hit the

trail, and we go along a rugged, rocky terrain, get to the lookout, and then circle back to the

trailhead. And so the inner field trip is similar

to that. But instead of going and driving to a trail and trudging along the rugged terrain,

instead we go inner, internal, and we traverse our internal rugged terrain and see what sights and sounds are along the way.
