Falling down the stairs on purpose saved Michelle Lang's life
Description
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?"
