The Everyday Advocate

In this heartfelt wrap-up to our mentorship series, host Jessica Evans sits down with mentor coach Lisa Pirinelli to explore what it really means to support a mentor-mentee relationship from behind the scenes. Lisa shares how she became involved with Allies in a nontraditional way, what she’s learned about herself through coaching, and the powerful impact of simply showing up consistently and compassionately. Lisa highlights how suffering often plants the seeds of passion and why being a steady presence matters more than having all the answers. You’ll hear her perspective on navigating hard conversations, supporting both mentors and mentees, and what keeps her committed to this work even in the toughest moments.
