My name is Lita Mae Button. At 16, fear and self-doubt had me paralyzed. By 22—life sucker-punched me into single motherhood, raising a son with a rare blood disorder.
My only choice? Fight back. Boxing taught me to stand my ground, focus, and punch through life’s hardest hits. Those lessons carried me from the ring to becoming a Golden Gloves Champion, Entrepreneur of the Year in greater Toronto area, and now a voice for women reclaiming their power.
And yes—only in Newfoundland can you live in Dildo, across from Spread Eagle, with Jimmy Kimmel claiming to be “mayor.” That’s a Dildo Dilemma!
But behind the laughs is urgency: 1 in 3 women worldwide—and 1 in 2 in Newfoundland—experience violence. That has to end.
On today’s episode, I sit down with Naomi Cao—divorce coach, strategist, and founder of Split Happens.
