About Lisa Ulshafer
Empowerment Life Coach, Author, and Certified Color Code Independent Trainer
Hi, I'm Lisa and I've been coaching and teaching for 17 years. I've always had a passion for understanding human behavior and the power of the spirit. In 1996, I graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelors degree in Psychology.
I know the struggles of parenting, specifically single parenting. After leaving a 12-year abusive relationship, I became the sole parent and provider of my 2-year old son Eric during some of the toughest years of my life.
The following years were filled with feelings of guilt because I was working so much and felt like I wasn’t spending enough time with my son and being a “good enough” mom. I also battled with insecurities, anger, impatience, and a strong need to be perfect and felt like I was never going to be able to break through my barriers and achieve a better life.
What exacerbated all of that, was I was always in a hurry, always rushing to get ready, rushing to get out the door, rushing when I drove, rushing when I worked, rush, rush, rush. Much of this rushing had contributed to my impatience with my son. I was always rushing him around too. One day as Eric was sitting in the backseat, he had asked, “Mommy, why are we always in such a hurry?” The question stopped me in my tracks. I didn’t have an answer. Why were we always in such a hurry? More correctly put, why was I always in such a hurry? Sometimes moms feel that if they don’t do everything, it won’t get done, so they rush around trying to do as much as they can. Eric was just an innocent bystander, withstanding the collateral damage of my own lack of awareness. It was an impactful message, a shift that raised my awareness.
In 2004, six years after ending my marriage, I found a new path and immersed myself in a process of profound transformation. I attended over 80 seminars and retreats studying a multitude of subjects including emotional healing, relationship dynamics, inner child work, and behavioral pattern analysis.
As a result of my healing and transformation, I became a healthier parent because I became a healthier woman. Through the healing of my own inner child, it healed the relationship I had with my son. One of my greatest gifts of my transformational work was patience, something I so desperately needed when parenting Eric. I also developed a strong sense of confidence and fulfillment and greater spiritual connection.
In 2006, I founded my company Empowered Living after becoming certified as a Transformational Life Coach. I also completed six additional life coaching certification programs and hired my own coaches and mentors throughout that time. I authored my first book Journey with an Angel in 2015 and in 2016 I created and launched my 6-week online program Roadmap to Self-Empowerment,
Years later, I discovered and became certified as a Color Code Personality trainer. Now with an adult son, our relationship deepened more by understanding each other's personality types. We've both laughed and loved more with the information provided as it continues to strengthen our bond.
Parenting is one of the most challenging roles you will have in your life. If you find yourself and your child struggling to fully connect and engage with each other in a healthy way, or you are concerned about how to best parent your child so they are realizing their full potential, know that finding the right parenting style for your child is possible. One of the most impactful approaches lives within knowing the personality type of both you and your child.
Take action now — they grow up so fast! Waiting won’t produce different results. Repeating the same ineffective parenting styles can dramatically affect the self-esteem of your child, cause even more behavioral problems, and produce resistance to healthy development.

“By attending Lisa’s workshop, I gained a lot more compassion for the other personality types. This makes it easier in allowing others to be who they are and make them feel free to be honest and open with me. It also gave me the motivation to work on my limitations to get back on track to moving forward with my life.”
“Lisa's presentation of the Color Code made it easy to gain the understanding of how to identify and interact with each of the personality types. I also realized that I have been stuck in a rut by not focusing on my core needs and wants. I now know what I need to do in order to achieve happiness within myself.”
