Your Mom™

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.

You can watch this episode on our YouTube page.

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.

Mother's Day is a time to celebrate moms, but we know for many people this holiday can also carry a sense of sadness, loneliness and nostalgia. In honor of anyone facing and grieving the loss of their own mom, Yogi Roth joins the show to pay tribute to his late mother, Devorah Channah Roth.

Yogi is an on-air college football analyst, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, and New York Times best-selling author. But in this conversation, he is a grateful son sharing some remarkable stories about the incredible woman who raised him.

Together with Ashley in Los Angeles, Yogi describes his mom's journey as the daughter of Holocaust survivors and how she lived and embraced the Hebrew term Tikkun Olam, which means "repair the world."

Yogi's words remind us that even if when a mother is no longer with us in a physical sense, her love and light can live on forever through her children.

When Yogi launched his first podcast LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS, his first guest was his mom. As you listen to this episode, which includes excerpts from that interview, we urge you to write down questions you have for your mom or someone close to you. And then call them.

A reminder you can watch this on our YouTube channel.

We hope you enjoy this touching conversation and may we all continue to do our part to help repair the world.

"A jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread—and Thou."

We hope you enjoy this honest, affectionate, meandering mother-daughter conversation in which one thing is clear- the apple does not fall far from the tree.

This week, Ashley and Lisa are joined by award-winning sports journalist Bonnie Bernstein to discuss a topic near and dear to their hearts. Inspired by a study that found 94% of female C-suite executives played competitive sports in their youth, Bonnie shares insights from her new Audible Originals series called She Got Game: Inspiring Women, Inspired by Sports.

Bonnie's adorable mom, Lois, also joins the conversation and shares how surprised she was when her daughter chose sports journalism over pursuing a career in classical music at Juilliard. Don't be surprised if the room gets a little dusty at the end, when mom and daughter share what they most admire about each other.

Bonnie is recognized by the American Sportscasters Association as one of the most accomplished female journalists in her field. The founder and CEO of Walk Swiftly Productions spent two decades of her Emmy-Award winning career at ESPN and CBS, and was the first person who inspired Ashley to pursue a career in sports broadcasting.

We know you will love She Got Game, so please check it out and give it a review! Our huge thanks to Bonnie and Lois for helping Your Mom kick off a special month of Mother's Day coverage.

Fourteen years ago Heather Vandenberghe was a single mom living in New York, thriving in a high profile career as Senior Vice President of Marketing for Louis Vuitton. But one afternoon in September of 2009, her entire life changed as she came out of a meeting to several missed phone calls bearing the type of excruciating news every parent fears.

Her youngest daughter Elle was in the hospital after being hit by a car while on her scooter. Her three-year-old spent two weeks in a medically-induced coma, four months in an ICU and ultimately endured ten brain surgeries. "That is why I'll never miss another phone call in my life," Heather explained during this inspiring interview which highlights a mother using pain as fuel to create meaningful change.

Elle is now 17 and while she still deals with complications from the accident, her mom is grateful the daily struggles are mostly focused on typical teenage stuff, like trying (and failing) to smooth out those unsightly bumps in her daughter's ponytail before school.

Heather Vandenberghe lives in LA and is currently the CEO of Flexpower, the founding partner of Your Mom™ and the first company to invest and support our mission of celebrating motherhood.
