From Childhood Survival to Adult Thriving

For the woman who's done the work but still feels stuck in survival mode...

Set down the baggage.
Take flight.
SEE YOURSELF.

You've been carrying the weight of your childhood survival patterns — and calling it personality.

You're not broken. You were just never taught how to be free.

Lisa Melichar - Trauma Recovery Coach
Lisa Melichar

Healing begins the moment you finally see yourself.

You’ve done everything “right”—and you’re still exhausted, still second-guessing, still trying to be what everyone else needs. That’s not your fault. It’s the legacy of trauma. And it ends here.

I’m Lisa Melichar, founder of Let Lisa Help, Inc. As a trauma-informed coach, speaker, and truth-teller, I help adult survivors of childhood trauma break free from perfectionism, people-pleasing, and codependency to build lives rooted in self-worth, peace, and authenticity.

With experience as both a child of abuse and as a mother helping my child through mental health struggles, I bring a unique dual perspective to breaking generational patterns—with both compassion and firm boundaries.

Here's what others have experienced on their healing journey.

"

I kept trying to make a toxic relationship work, bending over backward for someone who refused to meet me halfway. I begged for therapy, for communication, for them to just *try.* But I was chasing something that didn't exist. Through Cleared for Takeoff, I finally saw the truth—I was repeating the cycle my narcissistic mother had trained me for: dishonoring myself just to be 'loved.' When I finally let go of trying to change someone else and focused on what I deserved, everything changed. Today, I've landed my dream job, and I'm building a life where I am honored, respected, and at peace.

Cleared for Takeoff Graduate

"

I spent years acting like I didn't need anyone. I was angry, defensive, always ready to fight. My childhood had trained me to stay in survival mode, to push people away before they could hurt me. And then I met someone. At first, he was everything—charming, affectionate, the opposite of what I had known. But it escalated quickly. With Lisa's help, I finally had my breakthrough moment: Just because he's better than my dad doesn't mean he's good. That realization changed everything. I walked away. Now, I'm single, not because I have to be, but because I'm finally discovering who I am and what I deserve.
