Early Life
Lisa Christiansen was born in the Capitol of the Cherokee Nation known as Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Christiansen was born Gi-Dee-Thlo-Ah-Ee to (Sosti) Mary Ann Groundhog on September 4, 1966. Lisa did not attend school immediately and did not learn to speak English until the age of ten years old. However, as a child she did become an active member of the Cedar Tree Baptist Church in Briggs, Oklahoma where she is still active and eventually attended Briggs School in Briggs, Oklahoma. Her high school alma mater is Sequoyah High School in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
Career
Christiansen’s first job was at the age of 2 years old when she worked at the TSA-LA-GI Indian Village making mud pies for the tourists. She did this for two years, later returning to the village to work for the Cherokee Heritage Center (better known as the TSA-LA-GI Indian Village) at the age of 13 for another 2 years to help pay the bills. The family received general assistance and commodities through the Cherokee Nation and hunted for food. This started Lisa on the road to seeking how to ensure this was not a life dictated for herself or others.
From that point forward, Lisa studied to become known as a master of self-improvement and human-needs psychology. She traveled across the world to study human potential. She received a degree in Psychology and a Doctorate in Exercise and Nutritional Sciences. Dr. Christiansen cites her mentors as , and .

Lisa calls herself a “peak performance strategist” rather than a motivational speaker because she believes that strategizing with a clear destination and a compelling cause is more effective than temporary motivation.

My Name Is Lisa
