Protect Your Square and Reclaim Your Power

From Newfoundland’s wild humor to a no-holds-barred conversation about trauma, safety, and self-worth—this episode of Dildo Dilemma | Humour in the Face of Trauma goes deep. Coach Lita Mae Button opens up about her journey from fear and abandonment to boxing champion, nurse, and speaker—and why she created The Dildo Dilemma to spark advocacy through laughter. She reminds us that when women step into their power, we don’t just change our lives… we change the world. Joining her is Kristen Franey, the “anti-business coach” for women who are done playing small. Kristen works with entrepreneurs who’ve been oversold and under-supported by an industry obsessed with one-size-fits-all success. Together, they unpack what it means to protect your square—to stop contorting yourself to fit broken systems and start building a business and life that fits you. Expect laughter, truth bombs, and a whole lot of Newfoundland charm as these two powerhouse women remind us that healing and humour can coexist—and that every woman deserves to fight for her joy, her voice, and her square You can get social with Podcast Host Lita Mae Button on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libutton Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@punchpositive Learn more about your ad choices.

How Women Can Reclaim Power After Trauma & Divorce

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.
