In this episode of Mom to MORE®, Sharon Macey welcomes fashion powerhouse Liz Lange, the woman who redefined maternity wear. What began with eight simple pieces and a $25,000 loan, grew into the largest maternity apparel brand in the United States, complete with celebrity clients and major partnerships with Target and Nike.
Behind the success were defining personal chapters. Liz shares what it was like to host a fashion show on the morning of September 11th 2001, face a cervical Cancer diagnosis at 34 while raising toddlers, and wrestle with the reality that building a booming business often meant missing moments at home.
Tune in for an honest conversation about ambition, reinvention, resilience, and learning when to build boldly and when to step back for what matters most.
