“Cocoon to Butterfly—is an inspiring book to read and a powerful process for creating your own breakthroughs to reinvent your life or your purpose. Through her own transformational life experience, Lisa weaves a method each of us can use to break out of our own cocoon and reach higher points in our lives. The book is sprinkled with illustrations to help readers find their own path toward positive change and greater fulfillment. I heartily gift this book to my friends, clients, and others who want to elevate the quality of their lives.”

“This is a deeply profound yet accessible book. Cocoon to Butterfly helps the reader move through their process of personal transformation with grace, ease and a sense of playfulness and joy!”
Dr. Marion Moss Hubbard, author of Work as a Heroic Journey and the Heroic Path to Self-Forgiveness
“Cocoon to Butterfly—what a gift of beauty, generosity, and guiding Light! This book has the juicy quality of being both sublimely accessible yet potent. I especially appreciate Longworth's emphasis on “creative tension,” encouraging us to be with the discomfort of the change process; and her support to shape the practices as our own. Count me in for using this process to check-in with my Psyche and Soul!”
Meo O’Malley, Creator of Altars Within: sacred space in daily life, artist, teacher curriculum leader with k-12 Arts education
“Cocoon to Butterfly, Creative Midlife Change for the Busy Person, is truly a tour de force, a montage of eastern philosophy, art, nature, poetry and modern therapy. Dr. Longworth merges these seamlessly into an enjoyable narrative that encourages the reader to find his or her path toward living a more mindful existence.”
Dr. Lawrence A. Herzog, Professor of Urban Design, School of Public Affairs, San Diego State University, California
“Savor this book like fine wine. The author is so present with her message that sometimes it feels like she is helping turn pages. A delightful read.”
Richard A. Hubbard, Former President – National Association of Consumer Protection Investigators
“This book is a revelation! It helps people make their unconscious conscious and thus allows control of one’s behavior. She shows us how to make all work be play. As I read her book, I began flapping my 90-year old slightly worn-at-the-edges butterfly wings. Lisa's book made me happy.”
Dr. Natasha Josefowitz, Author of 20 books including her most recent, Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without: Hope and Healing after Loss
“As a psychologist for over 40 years, the majority of my clients describe feeling stuck and unfulfilled in their lives whether it is their lifestyle, career, or relationships. Cocoon to Butterfly elegantly articulates the metamorphosis process of a butterfly as a model to inspire and guide people in transforming their lives. I highly recommend this powerful book to my clients going through midlife change.”
Dr. Michael R. Samko, Licensed psychologist and hypnosis expert, personally trained by the renowned Dr. Milton Erickson
