Karmic Compass:

A Memoir of Betrayal, Awakening, and the Power to Choose Your Own Destiny

 

The child who was silenced became the woman who speaks.

 

Lisa M. Lee learned the rules early: children are to be seen and not heard. When she found the courage to tell her aunt about the abuse she was suffering, the response was devastating: "We survived, and so will you." Her parents knew. Her community knew. But her family's wealth and status mattered more than her safety. She was the price of access—a child sacrificed so others could maintain their proximity to power.

 

That wound became the blueprint for her life.

 

For decades, Lisa repeated the pattern. She became the "useful" version of herself—honed to perfection, sharpened by education, driven to be indispensable. She attracted men who would hurt her, lovers who would betray her, husbands who would discard her. She landed, again and again, in unethical companies where she discovered corruption, spoke truth, and was fired. Eight times. Eight times of blowing the whistle, telling the truth, and being cast out.

 

Then came the final time. A child had been abused on camera. The tape was being destroyed. The cover-up was underway. And Lisa faced the same choice she had faced her whole life: speak and be destroyed, or stay silent and lose herself.

 

She spoke.

 

What followed was devastation: blacklisting, isolation, broken heart syndrome, autoimmune disease, financial ruin. But also—something unexpected. In the wreckage of her life, she began to understand that her suffering was not random. It was curriculum. Her wounds were not just damage—they were doorways. The patterns that had trapped her were actually trying to teach her. And if she could learn the lessons, she could finally break free.

 

Karmic Compass is that understanding. Part harrowing memoir, part spiritual guide, part practical workbook, it offers a revolutionary framework for understanding why our lives keep repeating—and how to finally change the pattern.

 

Drawing on ancient wisdom from yogic philosophy, astrology, and trauma healing, Lisa introduces the concept of the karmic compass: a way of navigating life by understanding the law of cause and effect, recognizing the loops that keep us trapped, and consciously choosing to create new karma.

 

With unflinching honesty and profound compassion, she explores:

 

• How childhood wounds become the blueprint for adult patterns

• Why we keep attracting the same people and situations

• The three types of karma you're carrying right now

• How to recognize a karmic loop—and break it

• The difference between karmic relationships and soulmate connections

• Why speaking truth costs everything—and why it's worth it

• How to transform wounds into purpose, karma into dharma

 

This is not a book about easy answers or spiritual bypassing. It is a book for survivors, truth-tellers, and justice-seekers—the ones who have paid the price for their integrity and wonder if it was worth it. It is a book for anyone who has ever asked: Why does this keep happening to me? What am I supposed to learn? How do I finally break free?

 

Karmic Compass offers a map. Not to a life without pain, but to a life where pain has meaning. Not to freedom from karma, but to freedom within it. Not to becoming someone else, but to becoming who you always were.

 

The compass is in your hands. The journey begins now.
