The Boss Mom Podcast

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. A woman in a flowing gown and heels carefully straps on knee pads, positions herself at the top of a staircase, and deliberately throws herself down the stairs. It sounds absurd. Maybe even reckless. But when you understand why Michelle Lang does this—and what it represents—it becomes one of the most honest conversations about motherhood you'll ever encounter. After 12 years away from her career as a professional stunt performer, Lang has returned to throwing herself off buildings, getting hit by cars, and tumbling down staircases. But this isn't just about revisiting old skills. It's about what happens when mothers finally get enough mental space to ask themselves a devastating question: "Who am I if I'm not just someone's mom?"

You'll learn Dana's favorite framework—Start, Stop, Continue, Delegate—and how to finally start building the support, systems, and future you've been dreaming about.

Here at BossMom, we know the best breakthroughs don't come from pretending everything's fine. They come when we're honest about the fear, the overwhelm, and the spirals of anxiety that so many of us carry while raising kids and building businesses. In this episode, Dana sits down with Zen Cryar DeBrucke, creator of the Fear-Free Human Movement and founder of the Recreating You Game. Zen shares her work on the Internal Guidance System (IGS), a built-in compass we all have that helps us detect when our thoughts are leading us off track, and how to shift toward ones that open us up to alignment, peace, and possibility. Together, they explore what it looks like to move past fear-based thinking, how to recognize the signals in your body that show you the truth, and why learning to pivot into "opening" thoughts can be the key to lasting emotional freedom. If you've ever wondered how to stop the late-night worry spiral, how to respond to life's chaos with more clarity, or how to live and lead from a place of abundance instead of fear, this conversation will leave you inspired, grounded, and ready to trust the guidance system you already carry inside.

What You'll Learn in This Episode: What the Internal Guidance System really is and how it differs from intuition and emotions. The difference between opening and closing thoughts, and how to feel the signals in your own body. Why emotional freedom matters and how it changes the way you parent, partner, and run your business. The truth about guilt vs. remorse and why one keeps you stuck while the other sets you free. Practical ways to use your IGS daily, from handling kid interruptions to making big business decisions. This episode is a reminder that you don't have to be ruled by fear, anxiety, or overwhelm. You already have the tools inside you to find calm, clarity, and courage. Zen's work with the Internal Guidance System shows us that emotional freedom isn't just possible, it's the foundation for living a more abundant, aligned life. Be sure to check out Zen's Recreating You Game, a five-day practice designed to help you experience your IGS in action and start living with more ease right away.
