What happens when the version of yourself you've been living no longer fits? Not the job. Not the house. You.
In this episode of Life's Funny…Until It's Not™, host Deb LaMotta explores what it means to shed the identity you've been wearing for decades, the one that took care of everyone else, kept things running, and showed up for everybody but yourself. It's not a switch you flip. It's a daily choice. Sometim...
What happens when you finally run out of excuses?
In Episode 5 of Life's Funny…Until It's Not™, Deb gets honest about the dreams she's started — and stopped — over the years. The antique shop, she collected pieces for and then gave away.

Life's Funny…Until It's Not™
There's a parking lot I need to tell you about.
Last Friday, I drove to my local senior center — membership in hand, good intentions loaded — pulled in, saw the lot was full, and drove right back out. Didn't park. Didn't go in. Didn't even turn off the engine.
And I'm the one who hosts this podcast.
In this episode of Life's Funny…Until It's Not™, I get honest about...

Then we’re heading into Food for Thought, where I’m going to share something that made me stop when I saw it. Something that has everything to do with what it ...
Adjusting the Cooking Time
What starts as a disagreement about salmon becomes something much bigger.
In this episode of Life’s Funny…Until It’s Not™, I share a simple kitchen moment with my 87-year-old mother — one that didn’t seem significant at the time.
Sometimes life isn’t about getting the recipe right. It’s about adjusting the cooking time.
This episode reflects on aging,...
This is the space where we talk honestly about life as it really is — the good, the hard, the unexpected — and how we keep moving forward anyway.

The holidays are often wrapped in bright lights, cheerful music, and expectations of happiness—but for many, this season carries a quiet heaviness. In this deeply personal episode, Deb LaMotta shares reflections on how the holidays can stir grief, loneliness, gratitude, and longing all at once, especially as we age and life doesn’t look quite the way we once imagined.
