My name is Lita Mae Button. At 16, fear and self-doubt had me paralyzed. By 22—life sucker-punched me into single motherhood, raising a son with a rare blood disorder.
My only choice? Fight back. Boxing taught me to stand my ground, focus, and punch through life’s hardest hits. Those lessons carried me from the ring to becoming a Golden Gloves Champion, Entrepreneur of the Year in greater Toronto area, and now a voice for women reclaiming their power.
And yes—only in Newfoundland can you live in Dildo, across from Spread Eagle, with Jimmy Kimmel claiming to be “mayor.” That’s a Dildo Dilemma!
But behind the laughs is urgency: 1 in 3 women worldwide—and 1 in 2 in Newfoundland—experience violence. That has to end.
On today’s episode, I sit down with Naomi Cao—divorce coach, strategist, and founder of Split Happens.
💔 Divorce and trauma can leave women feeling powerless, lost, and overwhelmed. But what if those painful chapters could become the foundation for reclaiming strength, freedom, and joy?
In this empowering episode we dive deep into:
✨ The 3 Core Struggles of Divorce — how to navigate finances, parenting responsibilities, and ongoing childcare costs without losing yourself.
✨ Creating Safe Spaces — why permission, trust, and judgment-free zones are essential for emotional release and true healing.
✨ No-Fault Divorce Explained — breaking down the legal realities in Australia and what women need to know.
✨ Laughter as Medicine — how humor, fun, and lightheartedness help women cope with the darkest times.
✨ Escaping Violent Relationships — the critical steps, services, and financial strategies that empower women to leave safely and build independence.
✨ Rebuilding Human Connection — why isolation is often the deepest wound and how to reclaim authentic relationships.
✨ Shattering the Fantasy of Marriage — Naomi’s powerful insight: we must break the illusion to create a real dream.
🔥 Whether you’re navigating divorce, healing from trauma, or supporting someone on this journey, this conversation is packed with tools, hope, and inspiration to help women step back into their power.
