Thank you so much for letting me show off my home! I love this community and the nomadic lifestyle 🫶

"Being disabled is not a tragedy. How society treats disabled people, that's the tragedy. "

What an inspiring story. Best wishes 🌻💛

[FortTaps]

If you think she's an inspiration from what was discussed in this video, it barely scratched the surface of this lady. Add to this six gold medals in the Athens and Sydney paralympic games, numerous world records and a member of team Canada wheelchair basketball. You can do your own reading on her being an honorary colonel, her honorary doctorate and numerous other accessibility causes.

[michaelkolowicz]

If fear is holding us back, this lady has just taken away that excuse. What a fantastic person !

[MyTi]

Forgive me father for complaining that my life is difficult. You are a true inspiration. God bless you and keep you safe in your travels and endeavors.

[suzanneblaylock]

Holy smokes, yes sir, this is one heck of a BADASS. (!)

[ktk]

What an extraordinary woman. She's an inspiration.

[heatherhj]

I appreciate this! I am disabled (MS) and my family insists I can't live this lifestyle. I am excited about moving into a van and know I can do it, and you just proved it can be done!! 😊 thank you

[jessiehead]

Dang - super impressive! As a mechanical engineer, she could make a full time living just helping Nomads (able-bodied as well as disabled) figure out creative ways to make everything in the van work! Great interview!

[TLC-]

You are a true inspiration! You make me feel like wimp w/my uncertainties & fears w/ just letting go & living life on the road. Keeping your dreams alive! Love it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If there is ever a need to prove the adage, “It’s not what life deals you, but how you deal with it!”, this lady is the living personification! Thank you Bob, & thank you Lisa!

[danadams]

This woman is incredibly inspiring. She makes me grateful for what I have in my life.

[carrief]

Lisa, thank you for letting Bob interview you. You are truly a ray of sunshine to all of us, and also those who feel down, discouraged, or inadequate. You have a can-do attitude that just radiates from you! What a great example you are! 🥰

[jennifersumner]

We are all temporarily able. Make the most of it!

[vanwhalen]

Fantastic! I watch her channel. To say she is an inspiration is putting it lightly.

[Beencouraged]

“Outdoors heals, ” So very true. Don’t let arthritis be an excuse. I have arthritis in both knees two orthopedics, said I need two total knee replacement, which I refuse to do. I deal with tremendous pain. Nevertheless, I still work I still walk I still work out. I still enjoy life. I refuse to let arthritis get me down.

[gracesimplified]

Just Wow! A lady that knows how to live her life to its fullest. It would be interesting to interview her parents. I’m sure they had some impact on raising a such an independent, positive, and strong woman. Inspiring. ❤

[petermastenbroek]

Lisa is an amazing young woman, she is capable of much more than many people that haven't got a handicap.
Her engineering skills surely have helped her a lot in being able to design such a very practical vehicle, with great solutions to stuff that could, and would have been extremely difficult to find the right answers for, but Lisa did it all.
She is a really great example to all of us, go on Lisa and continue to make the very best of your life 👍👍👍.

[Burninfox]

I’m not disabled but those spring loaded drop down cabinets are super useful to me, I had to pause and sketch out the frame work to get an idea of what to do

[kimcolgrove]

I am speechless! Words aren’t adequate! What an inspiration! 🙌🏼
