Daily Inspiration: Meet Lutisia Stamps

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lutisia Stamps.

Hi Lutisia, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Lutisia is a certified life coach and children’s author with a driving passion for helping others. Her most profound belief is that ‘kindness keeps the world turning,’ and she has dedicated her life to spreading that message.

Lutisia has spent many years caring for children of all ages. After losing her mother in her early twenties, Lutisia stepped in to raise the rest of her large family. She quickly discovered she had a natural ability to entertain kids and genuinely loved doing so. This gift, along with the joy of sharing stories with them and watching them learn to read, inspired her to write for children.

To date, Lutisia has published five children’s books that provide a fun space for emerging readers to recognize and understand the importance of sight words. Each story has an important message: a lesson about giving back, showing good sportsmanship, or that you’re never too old to learn something new. All the books feature vibrant illustrations and coloring pages, allowing kids of all ages to tap into the creative spirit they share.

Her capacity for help doesn’t end with youngsters, though. Lutisia is also a life coach specializing in helping women achieve balance and reach their full potential. Using her positivity, experience, and kindness, Lutisia helps her clients gain a better view of themselves… her motto is “A Better View of You!”

When she isn’t working and volunteering, Lutisia enjoys happy hours with her girlfriends, shopping, cooking, and, even better, eating soul food. But her happy place, where her soul recharges, is on the couch beside her husband, a retired U.S. Army soldier, watching their favorite television shows.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Being a Life Coach was a slow burn. It took about 3-4 years before my clientele started to pick up. Being a self-published children’s author is a lot of work. Because you are in control of everything, for example, you have to hire editors, as well as someone to make sure the layout is up to par for printing. The hardest part of it all is hiring an illustrator who understands your vision and won’t let you down. I’ve had a lot of illustrators start but not finish. It’s very frustrating, so many times I wanted to give up. But when you’re passionate about something, your heart won’t let you give up.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Lutisia’s bestselling book, Yearning to Learn Sight Words, provided her with the opportunity to be the keynote speaker for a nationally recognized organization in Washington, D.C., where they purchased the Yearning to Learn Sight Words book to include in the back-to-school backpacks.

What’s next?
My husband and I are first-time parents; our daughter, Alexandria, is two years old. We’re older parents, at 49 and 50 years old, so she’s our only child. I took some time off to be a mother. I’m finally in a place where I can write again. I’m currently writing a book series with my daughter as the main character. In addition to animation, short videos of 2-3 minutes are available. I’m looking to release in the summer of 2026.

Regarding my coaching business, I would like to ensure that you are aware of my ongoing efforts to expand my client base and my plans to do so even further.
