When Big Personalities Become Moms Part 2: How This Mom Got Herself Back
Episode description
In this episode, we cover:
- When you finally claim something for yourself after years of telling yourself there was something wrong with you
- The “got myself back moment”: finding your creative outlet and feeling attractive while doing it
- The guilt around doing something for yourself that doesn’t make money
- Find your "plus" as soon as you can because you’re going to need to have all your reserves when your kids turn into teenagers
- The slippery slope between finding yourself and staying diligent with your teenagers
- The different stages of life where we find the other side of our "plus" — from awareness that you should have one, to your family fully accepting your passions
- Being able to answer the question: What would I do if I had a day to myself?
- This is what this mom can do: What we can bring to the table with our creative skillset
LISA LANE is an overeducated goofball who finds the funny in the balancing act of parenting teenagers, becoming single at age 50, and navigating the chin hairs and wrinkles on her very own face. She is a regular host, feature, and mother figure in the Denver comedy scene, the author of Teenagers Suck and Beyond Mama Bear, an announcer/emcee, and a voiceover actor.

Based on years of research and experience as mother, teacher, and funny lady, Lisa’s message gives hope (and lots of laughs) to all those trying to survive the delicate balancing act of surviving adolescence.
