Ep. 45: Raising Lisa McCaffrey

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Mother's Day than by introducing you to Lisa's Mom, Betty Conroy, aka Big Mama, aka the Queen of Key Biscayne. She has a remarkable story and offers a poignant reminder that we can call reinvent ourselves throughout the course of our lifetime.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as it captures how a shared pain between a mother and daughter can evolve into a shared vulnerability and deeper appreciation for one another.

Our biggest thanks to Betty for being one of our first guests, and for raising a fierce, loving, beautiful woman who also happens to be one hell of a podcaster.
