From law to entrepreneurship to venture capital: This is what building power actually looks like.

We’re told there’s a “right way” to live.
To build.
To balance motherhood, marriage, and ambition.

But what if the real work is becoming stable on your own first?

In this episode of BILF Pod, Lisa Sutton joins Mara for a grounded conversation on motherhood, identity, partnership, and building businesses without losing yourself.
No hustle culture. No perfection myth.
Just clarity, structure, and lived perspective.

This episode isn’t about doing it all —
It’s about doing it aligned.
