Lisa martinez
As a disciple, wife, writer, artist, entrepreneur, and speaker, Lisa Martinez shares her penchant for storytelling across mediums—from painting to podcasting, blogs to books and retreats—to bring hope, healing, and restoration in Christ.
After studying writing, mental health, and theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Lisa served more than twenty-five years across the corporate arena, higher education, hospitality, and working with small businesses and ministries. From her experience in sales and digital marketing and gifts of writing and ministering, she co-founded illuvint digital marketing boutique agency, religious non-profit iAmplify, and an outreach restoration ministry, Little With Great Love—home to The Restoration Collective of Catholic Speakers.
Through the power of storytelling, Lisa ministers to the broken from a heart God has been restoring from her own brokenness from trauma, grief, and infertility–engaging audiences with her authentic blend of joy, humor, and passion. After thirteen childless years of marriage, fifteen years of blogging, and decades of writing and ministry, Lisa is writing an infertility devotional to help others find their path through profound suffering to greater hope, healing, and wholeness in Christ. The Michigan native now lives in Austin, with mountain man Mike, whom she loves to travel with throughout life and around the world.
