From Cancer Survivor to Business Freedom Strategist

Helping entrepreneurs build a business that runs without them

I am Lisa Dimond, bestselling author, AI automation strategist, and founder of Vibrant CEO.

Years ago, my life turned upside down when I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive breast cancer. In an instant, everything I thought defined me - my health, my business, my control - was gone. But in that season of loss, I gained something far more valuable: clarity.

I realized life is too short to spend it burnt out and overworked. That insight became my mission - first in helping women heal in my wellness studio, and now in helping entrepreneurs reclaim their time, freedom, and spark through human-centered AI automation.

My Story

Before cancer, I owned and operated a successful health and wellness studio in Naples, Florida, helping clients heal and feel empowered in their bodies. I was a mom, a business owner, and a high achiever who believed working harder was the path to success. Then came my diagnosis.

I will never forget my doctor’s words: "I’m sorry, my dear. I don’t have good news." In that moment, my world stopped. The hardest part was telling my daughters. I feared not just for my life but for how my absence would affect theirs.

Cancer stripped away my hair, my schedule, and my sense of control, but it also gave me a clear sense of what truly matters. I decided I was not just going to survive, I was going to shine. That became the name of my book, Shine Beyond Cancer, because I believe no matter what tries to take you out, you have the choice to rise.

Recovery was not quick or easy. A year later, I nearly died from a treatment-related infection. Yet through it all, I searched for the right tools to restore my energy and rebuild my life. I found two that changed everything - superfood nutrition and a microcirculation device - and they became part of my own healing journey as well as my work with clients.

Real Results. Real People. Real Freedom.

My biggest takeaway was understanding the value of AI for my business and the confidence to navigate it.

I've been missing out by not using LinkedIn!!! The LinkedIn strategies were a game changer!

All of the workshop content was relevant and so needed. I finally feel confident using AI in my business. Thank you!

Why Vibrant CEO Exists

Today, my work goes beyond health. I help entrepreneurs, service providers, and venues create businesses that work for them, instead of the other way around.

Yes, I help my clients automate and streamline. But more importantly, I help them reclaim their time and energy so they can focus on what truly matters. Because burnout is not a badge of honor - it is a warning sign.

Through my AI Freedom Framework™, I blend systems, soul, and strategy to help you scale without losing the personal touch your clients love.
