Lucy Lantis started her career in a workplace so toxic it left her questioning everything. Today, she helps organizations rewrite that story—and create cultures where people feel seen, heard, and valued.
In this episode of Headspace by My Mama Done Told Me, we sit down with Lucy Lantis, organizational facilitator and founder of Inward Inquiry, to explore how workplace culture impacts belonging, burnout, and resilience.
Lucy shares her journey from a toxic first job to working in international education, where she discovered the importance of culture and connection. Drawing from her background in conflict resolution, she now helps teams intentionally shape workplace environments that foster trust, respect, and authentic relationships.
Together, we talk about:
- How Lucy’s early work experiences shaped her passion for culture-building
- The difference between “getting along” and true belonging at work
- The role of story and curiosity in creating stronger connections across generations and cultures
- Practical first steps leaders can take to build healthier workplaces
- Recognizing and addressing burnout before it takes over
- Why workplace resilience comes from understanding—not just “toughing it out”

Welcome, Strangers, to Celluloid Invasion by My Mama Done Told Me!
This time, Jeff and Mama Kat are joined by comedian Richie Reece III to blast off with the 1960 classic - Assignment: Outer Space - a slice of classic sci-fi that dares to put a journalist into outer space, and occasionally forgets to pretend there isn't any gravity in space.

Welcome, Strangers, to Small Talkumentary by My Mama Done Told Me!
In this spinoff of @talkumentarypodcast we watch documentaries, then small talk about them. (Basically, it’s the same show, but less frequent and a bit shorter.)
In this episode, we discuss the Netflix short doc The Quilters (2024). It follows a men's quilting group inside a maximum-security prison as they design and sew personalized quiltes for children, while managing the struggles incarceration.

What happens when you lose your sight, your hearing, and none of your drive to do something meaningful?
This week on Headspace, we meet Kelvin Crosby, also known as The DeafBlind Potter - a resilent, joyful, and deeply intentional human who uses clay, community, conviction, and faith to shape a more meaningful world.
Kelvin's story is anything but ordinary. Diagnosed with Usher Syndrome and navigating live without vision or hearing, Kelvin shares how he built a thriving ceramics practice, started a business, and became a powerful advocate for accessibility and faith-driven resilience.
We talk about:
What it means to "see" and "hear" the world differently
How grief and loss can lead to unexpected joy
The role faith plays in shaping Kelvin’s mindset
Why pottery became more than a craft — it became a calling
The importance of showing up, even when things feel impossible

Deep in the California desert, the past refuses to stay buried. Giant footprints mark the sand, a teenage girl faints, and a caveman grunts his way into cult movie history.
Welcome, Strangers, to Celluloid Invasion by My Mama Done Told Me!
This time, Jeff and Mama Kathy are joined by the one and only King James himself to take on Eegah (1962)—a cinematic oddity where prehistoric man meets mid-century teenage romance, dune buggies, and pointless singing.

Welcome to Silver Screen Review by My Mama Done Told Me!
This week, Mama, Lauren and Jeff dive into the bittersweet, slow-burning journey of The Life List. We talk about the moments that moved us, the choices that confused us, and the quiet beauty of a story that asks what we really want out of life. Plus, we unpack some of the symbolism, some of the pacing issues, and what we think would be on our own lists.
What would be at the top of YOUR life list?
