What started as a way for two adult siblings to record conversations with their mom turned into something bigger — and we’re still seeing where it goes.
On My Mama Done Told Me, we talk, we explore, we cook, we watch movies, we bring in old friends, and we make time for new ones. We share the time we’ve got. However it looks, it’s about being together.
It’s our excuse to hang out — and bring you with us.
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”

082 - Assignment: Outer Space (1960) - Celluloid Invasion
The year is 2116, and humanity has pushed beyond Earth's atmosphere and into the vast unknown (read in a transatlantic accent.)
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.
CREDITS FOR ASSIGNMENT: OUTER SPACE (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054330/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_2_nm_0_in_0_q_assignment%2520outer%2520space)
