Lisa Phillips is a woman on a mission bold, visionary, and impossible to ignore. A former international fashion model turned award-nominated podcast host and survivor advocate, Lisa has built a life rooted in resilience, creativity, and unapologetic truth-telling. Her journey from magazine and TV campaigns to building her own talent scouting agency in New York as a single mother of three boys under five is a masterclass in determination. But what truly sets Lisa apart is not just her success it’s her soul-deep commitment to helping others rise, too.
As a Model, Lisa was known as the Commercial Queen, she was constantly on TV screens across the US in commercials and traveling across the globe, but after her second child Lisa decided to take a chance: one paved with grit, sacrifice, and an unrelenting drive to build something of her own. From a tiny, mice-infested apartment in New York City, she made a promise to her children: one day, they’d move to Southern California and have a home with an ocean view. A decade later, she delivered on that promise. She also vowed to take them on a life-changing adventure to Japan where they explored Mount Fuji’s caves and got lost in the magic of Shibuya, which she excited did last year.
Lisa has never believed in limitations. Only possibility. “There was no Plan B,” she says. “I had to succeed.”
Her talent scouting company quickly became a standout force in the modelling industry but after 12 years her calling evolved. In 2020, Lisa made the courageous decision to speak publicly about the abuse she endured as a young model at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. With newfound clarity, she realized it was time to walk away from the modelling world that no longer inspired her. She wasn’t just a model and scout. She was a survivor. And it was time to use her voice.
That voice became From Now on with Lisa Phillips, a groundbreaking podcast she launched less than a year ago that’s already made waves across the globe. With over 20,000 YouTube subscribers, 20K TikTok following growing by the day, and a staggering 450,000 Instagram followers, Lisa has become a trusted voice in the conversation around empowerment, healing, and systemic change. Her show brings together survivors, experts, and advocates across Hollywood, sports, arts and tech, and beyond shining a light on the truth and creating space for collective empowerment.
Lisa’s work has been recognized by the Webby Awards, the Ambies, and the Women’s Podcast Awards, where she was nominated for Best TV Host and Public Advocacy. She’s been featured in Forbes, USA Today, Flaunt, The Guardian, US Weekly, New York Weekly, and more. But if you ask Lisa what she’s most proud of, it isn’t the press or the accolades it’s the impact. The community she’s building. The stories being told. The survivors who now feel seen, heard, and no longer alone.
Today, Lisa Phillips is not just a star in the making. She’s a rising force in the world of media, justice, and purpose-driven storytelling. With unmatched drive, unshakable heart, and a warrior’s spirit, she’s turning trauma into truth and inviting the world to rise with her.
Because from now on, everything changes.
