Episode 1: The Why Behind Mama’s Lasagna

In the debut episode of Mama’s Lasagna, Heather shares the deeply personal story that inspired her to create the podcast. She recounts the pivotal moments in her life, from her mother leaving when she was 15, to surviving an abusive relationship, and eventually raising her children alone after the tragic death of her husband. Heather reflects on the loss of her son and the years spent in survival mode, all while raising her children without the support of her own mother.

As her children grew older, her home became a haven for her kids’ friends and anyone needing advice or support, leading her to realize the power of sharing motherly wisdom with others. After years of focusing on yoga therapy and personal growth, the idea for Mama’s Lasagna came to life when her daughter’s friends turned to her for advice. Heather now opens her heart and home through the podcast to offer guidance to those who need it most.

This episode introduces listeners to Heather’s journey, her resilience, and the motivation behind starting Mama’s Lasagna, setting the stage for the heartfelt and practical advice to come.
