Empty Nester + Standup Comedian + Netflix Star: You’ve Got To Hear This

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we cover:Why rejection stings so much for Mother + Creative types, and how Lisa has coped with criticism and negativity as a performer. Lisa shares her experience being on a Netflix reality TV show and what it was like to have her image out in the world without having much control over it. The importance of owning the narrative when you have a public persona, and how it stems from being centered in who you are and not caring what other people think. Being a mother + empty nester: Lisa shares the gifts of this stage of parenting and how it feels to be unapologetic about your goals and needs: "You want to be seen, you want to be heard.""After I got a divorce, stand up comedy became my boyfriend." How having a passion and purpose helped Lisa navigate a new era of life by giving her a voice, a creative catharsis, and a way to process. 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. Her shows for parents, parenting groups, and educators offer frank and funny advice for frazzled families and anyone who knows the pain of working with teenagers. 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. Where to find Lisa Lane:BeyondMamaBear.comBooks: Beyond Mama BearTeenagers Suck: A memory book for the awkward and awful yearsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisalanemamabear/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisa.filholmWHERE TO FIND US NOWConnect with Stacey🎧 The Next Phase Podcast —  on Apple & Spotify 📸 Instagram: @stacehutsonConnect with Steph🎧 The Peri-Normal Podcaston Apple and Spotify✍️ The Reclamation Eraon Substack📝 MidCircle— a writing community for midlife women📸 Instagram: @stephsprenger
