We monitor reviews for authenticity
Very repetitive content, particularly if you have seen the you tube videos.
Quite negative, parent bashing approach to healing. Promises a lot of support but basically takes as many on the programme as will buy it so support really not there IMHO.
Felt there were some real mental health issues from participants and wondered about the morality of the breakthrough programme accepting certain participants instead of signposting them elsewhere.
BTW A lot of the positive reviews look coached to me but who knows.
I decided to take Lisa Romano's 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program because there was a piece I was missing in my healing journey and I just felt stuck. I had been following Lisa Romano's podcast for a while and I truly and believed whatever was stopping me would come to light through this course.
Lisa and her amazing team of moderators create a very caring and safe space to share. I absolutely loved the meditations and the journaling prompts really pushed me to dig deep. The lessons and livestreams each week helped to unravel a lot of false beliefs, shed light on faulty programming and bring new understanding to what had gone wrong.
The breakthrough I had been looking for came in week 11. It was a very spiritually and emotionally charged experience that would take a bit to explain, but I was able to go back and get my missing piece! I feel a shift in energy and I'm looking forward to manifesting the life I want rather than just taking what comes. I highly recommend this course. It is truly life changing!

I have been on this journey for several years now but could never put the pieces of the puzzle together. I was always looking outward for the answers. The 12 Week Breakthrough Program showed me the path to understanding my inner child, my subconscious programming, my codependency, and that this was where everything originated from. The program also gave me the tools to fix myself and my faulty programming in order to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
I want to thank Lisa A. Romano and her staff. This program has truly transformed my Life.
Hi Matt! Thank you for being a graduate of the LIVE April 2024 12-Week Breakthrough Coaching Program, where we aim to help students awaken, develop self-awareness and self-compassion, and elevate their level of personal accountability by guiding them through a three-month intensive healing program. This course is not a magic bullet. The mind does not change simply because we know what's wrong in a cognitive sense. The subconscious beliefs must be explored and addressed in order to begin this reprogramming process. The subconscious mind holds the keys to our behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, yet, when we are children of trauma, we are unaware that the mind and brain are built to deny what causes us pain. Instead, we remain in survival mode, codependent, seeking approval, living in fear of other people's disapproval, all below the veil of consciousness. We are stuck in the past, and have no way of knowing that our current false perceptions are creating our current realities. For that reason, I am so very thankful for your presence in our program, for your participation, vulnerability and willingness to share your wins with me, our moderators and our April 2024 class. You did the work Dear One, and that's why your life is showing shifts and it is improving day by day. LIke a pair of shoes, you have to put them on for them to work to your advantage, an online program such as this is the same. One must be willing to do what is asked to gain the benefits. Thank you again. The world is a brighter, and more compassionate and loving place because you have learned to stop living in resistance to what you could not and should never have tried to change. You are enough!
I have just completed the 12-Week breakthrough program with Coach Lisa Romano. Quite literally, this course has changed my life. I came into the course desperate for answers why my life was always in chaos. I thought I was doing everything I could to make a happy life for myself and the people around me, but it always ended with me the victim and questions of how did I go wrong again. I was sad, depressed and felt so misunderstood.
What I have learned from Lisa and this course is that I was never the problem it was my programing. She gave me the tools I never learned as a child to live a life of abundance and joy. It will be a lifelong journey and I must work at this for the rest of my life. There are no quick fixes in this. You will learn to live in this word knowing you are enough. You will learn to be the light in your life and the lives of those around you. What you give out will come back to you. The elation and relief I feel is immeasurable!
I came into this course with the hope of fixing and getting back all the relationships that went wrong because of my codependency. Not only didn't I get them back, I learned that letting go was the only way to ensure my happiness. I have hope and anticipation for the future I want now not the future I would have had if I had continued in my toxic behavior.
Lisa gave me "ME" back! I never met "ME" before! I love "ME" now! I am enough in this world and always was enough! Run don't walk into this course! Give it your complete attention! Invest in yourself! It truly is everything!
I just finished Lisa A. Ramano's 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program. I have wanted to do this for along time and finally I just went for it. I am so grateful that I did.
I did not realize how badly I needed this information. Lisa has such a profound understanding of childhood trauma and the lasting effects. Her caring and insight is evident right from the beginning.
I now have a firm grasp of why I am me. And I am calmer and more at peace with myself.
I am taking the Master Class soon and couldn't be more excited! The more I know, the more I grow! Into the person I was always meant to be. Calm, Relaxed, Confident, Humble, Empathetic, and HAPPY!
In 2020, I invested a significant amount of money in this program, coming from a third-world country. After giving it a fair chance by participating three times in the first year, twice in the second year, and once in the third year, as advised by Lisa A Romano, I can confidently say that I deeply regret my decision, time, and financial investment in this program.
Key Issues that Caught My Attention:
Parent Bashing: The approach to addressing parental issues lacked professionalism and sensitivity. While addressing concerns about a narcissistic parent is valid, the program's focus on non-narcissistic parents seemed unjust and harmful. This approach has led participants to isolate their non-narcissistic parents, which is deeply concerning. A program dealing with such sensitive topics should prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment for all participants.
Generic and Repetitive Content: I have serious doubts about Lisa's credentials and qualifications, as most of the content seemed recycled from her other videos or easily found on the internet. The use of inappropriate or harmful content undermines the program's credibility and effectiveness. Participants rely on the program for accurate information and guidance, so it's crucial to ensure the content is well-researched and ethical.
Unprofessional Behavior During Live Streams: Maintaining a professional and respectful demeanor during live streams is essential. I witnessed instances where Lisa spoke disparagingly about clients, which is highly unprofessional and undermines trust in the program. Participants should be treated with respect and discussions should focus on constructive support and guidance.
Poor Audio Quality of Meditations: The recorded meditations included distracting background noises, which disrupted the calming and relaxing experience intended for participants. Given the financial investment in the program, it is reasonable to expect professionally produced recordings in a quiet and controlled environment to provide a seamless and immersive experience.
Lack of Honesty and Transparency: The program's promises of extensive support and bonding opportunities among participants seemed exaggerated. Making false promises or exaggerated claims can lead to unrealistic expectations and undermine the trust and credibility of the program. Clear communication about the program's limitations and potential challenges is crucial for managing expectations and ensuring participants make informed decisions.
Inadequate Decision Timeframe: The two-week timeframe given to decide if the program is suitable is insufficient. Participants may feel lured or pressured to continue, only to realize it's too late to make an informed decision.
Overall, my experience with this program has left me deeply disappointed and regretful. I hope this review provides valuable insight for others considering this program.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa Romano's Breakthrough Warrior Membership. I was raised in an alcoholic home and was married to an narcissistic man (diagnosed by a professional) for 22 years. A year after leaving my ex, I joined Lisa's 12 week course and it helped me learn so much about my own codependency. I've come to realize that while I'm not to blame for it, it is my responsibility to learn how to handle it and that I have the power to change my behaviour and reactions for the better. Recovery is cumulative and Lisa's course is such an important, hopeful and result-focused source in my journey towards wholeness. Thank you Lisa and team from the bottom of my heart.
I took the 12 week breakthrough course and i can without any doubt say, that this is the best personal development course i have ever done. I have finally found a course and a teacher (Lisa A Romano) whose philosophy and teachings have worked. This course, has changed the way i view myself and helped me,to start loving myself and believing in myself. No other courses or therapists have done this, i have tried it all. The Master class, is a course that helps you to master your mind, your emotions and therefore your Life, it teaches you how to manifest your desires and this will ignite your life and you stop being afraid and start living your dreams literally. I highly recommend both courses, for anybody who feels low self esteem, stuck, fearfull and worthless, you wont regret taking these courses, they will change your life for the better!.
I highly recommend Lisa a Romano. If you were raised by parents who experienced trauma of their own I highly recommend.
I was raised by a borderline mother and a father who was raised by an alcoholic. This caused me a lot of trauma. It was a therapist who "diagnosed" me with trauma but it was Lisa's advice and insight that has helped me heal. Heal along with not blaming my parents but acknowledging what happened and "letting go in love and light."
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience Christina! Childhood trauma arrests us at the neurological level, and because the mind is more subconscious than conscious and is designed to avoid pain, often we don't realize we are stuck in shame of the past, repeating what was unresolved in childhood. My mission is to help wounded adult children, from any and every generation to awaken so they can understand their subconscious patterns, because until we can see a hole in the wall, we can't fix it. Good for you for finding this space of solace, forgiveness and deep understanding...that's awesome...Keep growing and glowing Dear One!
Update Lisa's company rep responded immediately after
I wrote this review. They ignored my emails. They did send me one but acted clueless. I did reach out about the live stream and no one responded. If you ask for help no one contacts you.
The response in this review seems to be Lisa but is just a rep. They told me there is a live Q and A and that I must be 'stupid' as I couldn't find it. Lisa has some great books, videos, and podcasts.
I purchased two products one as a promotion I checked out as I was considering if I wanted to take the 12-week course. This was how to love yourself.
Then I found a membership program and signed up for that and asked for a refund as the original program I purchased was in the membership.
There is a program for warriors and it has podcasts with good content but I noticed after each one she would say visit my site.
I was on the site. So I searched the internet and sure enough for free was the very podcast I just listened to!
I paid $279 for the membership and $100 they did refund me after this review.
However, I read another review saying the same thing the content for the 12 week program is available on You Tube or a podcast.
Then post the same content you just paid for on YouTube and
I paid $279.
Don't do it don't let someone profit from your emotions just buy her book.
Everything she speaks of is in other books. For Instance how to heal your enter child and Melody Beatty.
It is repetitive.
The last live Q and A was in 2021
All the info on the warrior is available for free via YouTube or podcast.
Likely the same with the 12-week program.
I think she comes from a good place but it is like buying a book and then the publisher turns around and gives the entire world the same book away for free to the world.
Hi Carla, Unfortunately, there seems to have been a miscommunication. You were granted a refund, and your emails were responded to, so I am a bit confused regarding the statements made in your review. My team and I strive to offer members the highest customer service, and we were saddened to read this review, considering we were in the process of resolving the issues you raised via email. From what I can tell, you reviewed 5% of our Membership Site before requesting a refund, which means you did not get a chance to benefit from the many programs members have access to, like The Loving the Self Video and Meditation Program, The Boundary Building Workshop, Workbooks, Journaling Prompts, 12 Part Advanced Audio Series on Codependency, Meditations, as well as my audio library which usually sell as stand-alone purchases on my website. Within our private FB group, I host a monthly live stream to answer questions posted to our pinned posts. I offer this live every last Monday of the month to have our group come together simultaneously. I am also confused as to why you were unable to locate past livestreams on our Private FB group, and our team would have been more than happy to help you navigate the page. There was also some confusion around YT posts, which we tried to clear up via email. We are truly sorry you are no longer a member of our Private Facebook Community and Membership Site. This site is committed to supporting adult children from dysfunctional homes who wish to heal from codependency. We would have been honored to serve you throughout the year. We are truly sorry for any miscommunication. Wishing you all the best on your travels through life, specifically on the inner transformation journey.
"The Road Back To Me" Written by Award winning Author Lisa A Romano
I could not put this book down after opening the front page and reading the introduction.
I was absolutely entranced by Lisa's wisdom and elegant way with words.
One day later and I simply had to finish reading it to the very end.
There is an air of pure insight and honesty residing within each chapter as Lisa delivers her words to the reader so delicately and carefully so as to protect the integrity of not only herself, but those people she cares so deeply about and who have played an integral part in her life and added to her experiences.
Lisa's delightful way with words express not only a challenged childhood, but the repercussions it can cause alongside the scars and bruises silently left behind on the inside, which, will inevitably surface one day and scream out loud for help and for attention.
As I sailed through each experience she so beautifully described on each page of her book, it was like standing tall and holding tight onto the reigns of the sea-dragon with each chapter depicting yet another familiar wave upon a troubled sea that I too had learned to navigate throughout my youth.
I understood Lisa's journey so well, at times I felt tears well up within me and my heart ached with an empathic hug for that little girl who felt so very alone in her suffering and yet, through it all, as a reader I saw her emerge just like a butterfly, not just in certain parts of her life as she lovingly describes herself, but as the queen of all the butterflies ready to display all the colours of the rainbow and light up like a beacon with her iridescent wings of innate wisdom and one who was just waiting to unfurl them and show the world in quiet beauty and gentle grace that there is a brighter and much deeper perspective that we can all achieve in life no matter how dark and grey our palette may have seemed to be.
Lisa is a wonderful life coach, poet and an incredibly gifted writer who has grown her own garden of knowledge through her own unique life experiences and now shares these jewels with anyone who may like to discover for themselves a better way of seeing things why we are as we are.
After reading her book, I found all it takes is a gentle nudge in the right direction down a new garden path to a place where your hearts eye is opened up and you can see things a bit more clearly and maybe stop for a while and smell the roses.
That gentle nudge is Lisa's book:-
"The Road Back To Me"
Lisa proves that sometimes roses do bloom despite the toxic weeds that occupy the garden they are planted in and they manage to thrive and grow stronger than anything else, sculpting their own roots of wisdom deep into the soil where they can fuse boldly and bravely to design new foundations for all subsequent rosebuds to blossom into life.
"An Enlightening snd Insightful Book"
Thank you Lisa.
I'm incredibly grateful to Lisa for all the tools she has provided to me through the 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program and the Master Class. Her programs (including videos, meditations, livestreams, journaling, and written materials) really resonate with me and have helped me tremendously in shifting my vibration, thought process, and life. Her messages are so powerful, honest, and thoughtful. I would encourage anyone on the path of self-healing to check out her programs!
To learn after years of pain and confusion, that it was all because of my Programing! I am created by a divine God who I know as Jesus (I was raise Jewish, yes from LI NY) I am on a path to a gentle life without the need to recreate my childhood trauma and the narcissistic abuse, I have survived! Thank you Lisa at 57 I will live in 2022, healthier and happier than I ever hoped.
It is a complete honor to watch you find the light within and for you to let it shine! Yes, you are MORE than enough! It was NEVER you... it was ONLY your programming. Thank you for your review, and your commitment to healing your mind, body, and soul! Your future is bright!
Since day one of this program, my life has been completely changed for the better. I have read self-help books for 30 years, including a course in miracles twice, but this program is the only one I've experienced that is really transforming my life deeply, all the way to the root of the problem. To finally look back and acknowledge my past traumas is of course hard to do, but well worth it in the end to finally be able to move on and for once be in the present. I have a picture of my beautiful younger self at my desk which has been one of the best pieces of advice offered int this program. For the first time in my 50 years, I feel seen as the divine innocent being I was born to be. An eternity of gratitude to Mrs. Romano and her staff! Thank you! Xoxoxo
Thank you Mindy! It is an honor to know that the program and the way it is presented has worked to help you heal your life
I debated about taking this course for a few years, and finally did the "on demand" version, and am so happy that I did! Lisa's style (blunt, honest, funny, compassionate) of presenting material works really well for me.
This course is set up so that you get new video material, a new mediation, new journal prompts etc., with a specific focus each week. I found the journal prompts particularly useful. I took longer with the material some weeks, which is really why I enjoyed the on demand version. I think if someone is really ready to put in the work and take a look (with gentle compassion) about what role they play in their own codependent behaviours as an adult, then this course can be extremely helpful to you. Would recommend to anyone who struggles with codependency and/or finds themselves in repeated poor relationships (friends, family, partner) and is ready to want more for themselves!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. This course is not a silver bullet, however, as you have said, if and when someone is ready to look at the role they play when it comes to codependency behaviors, yes, yes, yes, they can completely change their lives for the better! Codependency is a survival strategy. It is not our fault if we are codependent, however, until we awaken and see our part in the subconscious drama, we remain stuck in loops of faulty illogical and self sabotaging thinking. Thank you for digging deep and for finding your light and for letting it shine!
Every single person on the planet needs to know and understand the teachings of Lisa A. Romano! Period. Lisa is a courageous explorer of the mind who has discovered connections to how we, as human beings, operate. How are our basic skills, that serve us every second of our lifetime, formed?
I first found Lisa over 6 years ago, at 52, after I had literally run out the door of a nice house in a nice neighborhood when the guy wearing tailored suits going downtown to work hired a man to harm me because I had discovered he was a diagnosed sociopath and had stolen large sums of money.
And now, when I finally realized my current relationship revolved around someone else's needs and wants instead of my own. And that, once again, I was loosing my voice and my very self. Why am I sad and attract people that cause me pain?! I only thought that I had taught myself boundaries from Lisa's YouTube videos! That is when I decided enough and enrolled in the 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program.
I can hear Lisa's voice: "Who knew?! Dear Ones, Who knew?!". Lisa brings very complicated ideas and concepts to our hearts and brains, holds our hands and fearlessly helps get us from stuck to pain free forever. She has mapped the course and given us all the resources we need to instill real life change. She uses her own relatable life experiences: her shame, humiliation and fears to make us feel safe and eager to make our own journey to ourselves. Ever changing and evolving as intended. "Who knew…"
Hopefully and bravely (‘cause I know that I am Enough) I go, into the person I was always intended to be…
Forever and ever grateful,
K. C. Grant
Why Lisa A. Romano's 12-Week course is a winner for your 2022 year and beyond!
Welcome to 2022!
Greetings all. A blessed and prosperous happy new year to each of you and all of yours.
As we look at the start of a new calendar and Lunar year, we look for places/people/events that will enhance and cultivate our minds, bodies, and spirits to new potentialities. As we create and desire new resolutions and evolutions for ourselves in the new year (or new year's!) the 12-step program from Lisa and the team may be a good fit for your goals, desires, and inner work for the new year.
I began the 12-step on-demand program in late August 2021 and completed it in mid-December 2021. As a promise to the team, I saved my review until after I completed the course, and to post after the new year to enliven and motivate our sisters and brothers into a new and exciting year. This year is yours! TAKE IT!
In this course you will travel to places where you itch, burn and even bleed. In that travelling, you will heal yourself... and perhaps others around you. This is not about confrontation with your enemies or abusers, it is about the quiet warrior strength that lives within each and every one of us. A quiet, yet activated peace, that will abide in your heart and spirit. An eternal peace.
Many of our brothers and sisters have demands, lives, and issues that may be beyond the 12-week commitment. If I have learned only one thing from my time with Lisa and the team, it is that: YOU ARE WORTHY AND YOU HAVE WORTH. Your worth is divine, and inscrutable, unquestioned, and magnificent.
While I attended this 12-week on-demand course, I was also working on my Graduate courses. It can be done, even with conflicts and demands. YOU ARE WORTH IT! And you have the support of a glorious team of individuals who will lend a hand, shoulder or kick in your $#*! if needed. There is time, take it, and there is space, find it, it is time for You to become, well... YOU! When would NOW be a good time for you?
I hope this review is helpful to new students to Lisa and her programs. Happy new year, I wish you all well, and as we share: NAMASTE.
Richard
I highly recommend this program! It has literally changed my life! I am so grateful for Lisa and her team that put together a wonderful program for anyone struggling with boundaries and self worth. I am now a completely different person than when I started the program! I am now more confident, self aware and self loving!
I took the 12 week on demand class recently, and now I'm taking the 12 week breakthrough August class. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Lisa has given me the answers to so many questions. She teaches you how to love yourself! How to reprogram your faulty beliefs! She has changed my life in so many ways! Every day is getting better! My stress levels have come down immensely! She goes above and beyond with her students! My only regret is not finding her sooner. She gets an A-plus from me! NAMESTE LISA! I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH!
Thank you, Mary Ann, for offering your time to write this review and for working on finding the love within. Once we know why we do what we do, there, in the space of objective self-awareness we find the pocket of potential that resides in each of us. You are discovering the way we think impacts the way we feel and what actions we take, which is responsible for our outcomes. YOU are discovering that when you change your beliefs, and you stick to organizing your mind in a non-codependent way, there is nothing you cannot achieve. NAMASTE to you dear Mary Ann!
Lisa's work was invaluable to my healing. I read her book "The Road Back to Me" in one day. It could have been my story. Being raised by a narcissist and married to one for 28 years, I had no idea I was living unconsciously, repeating patterns and wiring from childhood. Through perseverance and pain I am now living a full, happy life. I have tools to create my own joy and share my love and light with people in my life. Unless you've been abused by a narcissist, you truly don't "get it". Lisa's experiences and knowledge are priceless as she walks your healing path with you.
Answer: I have been healing and doing self help work for over 20 years. I had been in therapy for 20 years. And Lisa's course was the first time I understood that it wasn't my fault - all the things that happened to me; all the patterns I repeated over and over - it's not my fault. It's my internal programming that I got from childhood. And there was no other way it could be. That lifted a thousand years of pain off me and unlocked something - it's not my fault! I'm not a failure. I simply didn't have the tools I needed to be the success I know I can be because I wasn't taught things when I was younger. How obvious! But only once you are told it and get it.
Answer: I found her videos on youtube and simply couldn't stop watching them. It peaked my interest enough to take a course. I had just come from Tony Robbins' big 6 day $10k event in Florida - and I got more out of Lisa's online course. I'm not dissing Tony - he's right for some people. But right now, Lisa is what I need. She's no nonsense and has lived experience that she draws from - that is what makes a true Teacher and not someone just giving a course. You need to figure it out for yourself - watch her videos and see if they click with you.
Answer: That's so subjective that I don't think anyone can really answer it. We all need different things at different points in our life. I just think all this Lisa bashing on here is some kind of coordinated effort to trash her - and I want to know why. Lisa is great for me. I did her course after a couple years of Tony Robbins, which was after a couple years of Landmark and 20 years of Tibetan Buddhism. And 20 years of therapy. Now I'm also watching and loving Esther Hicks because she's resonating with me. As you grow you change - so only you are going to know who's right for you. Good luck with your search! Just please don't rule Lisa out because of all the mean people on here. Her course was exactly what I needed.
Hi Erin! As adult children with unhealed trauma, or for those stuck because of the brain's valid, default survival processes, it is not our fault when we fail to launch or do not go after our dreams. In fact, adult children who have been denied love are cut off from their divine, spiritual selves, and without this connection, we don't dream. Instead, we live below the veil of consciousness, operate from this space of consciousness, and never question our version of reality or whether or not other states of consciousness might be available to us. In this course, I attempt to help students shift their awareness of the self incrementally each week because quick fixes do not work. Much like losing five pounds of water on a weekend, by Monday, once you eat a normal meal, the weight returns; it is the same with online courses or any form of personal development work. This course has been designed based on the science of neuroplasticity. It also aims to help stuck adult children move through the stages of self-actualization, which is what Carl Jung refers to as individuation. We start right where you are, stuck, confused, codependent, lost, and afraid, and help expand your understanding of self, thereby nurturing the miraculous power of metacognition. In time, you become what Eckhart Tolle describes as the silent witness, who can observe your inner child's story from an expanded plane of awareness rather than react from this arrested state. For the one who is ready to let go of their attachments to those stories from the past, who commits to the guided meditations, journaling exercises, and homework assignments in this program, and who appreciates the science behind retraining the subconscious mind, this program can work miracles. I want to thank you for blessing me and my team with your unfolding and for this review.
