06: Lisa P Is Political Glam

TIKTok FAMOUS™: The Stories Behind the Scroll

In this episode of the TikTok FAMOUS™️ Podcast, host Meredyth Willits sits down with content creator, fashion icon, and social truth-teller Lisa P—aka @itsme_lisap—who somehow manages to embody southern grace, 1950s glam, and sharp political commentary all at once.

Lisa isn’t just serving looks—she’s serving perspective. From her signature red lips and vintage-inspired fashion to her bold breakdowns of motherhood myths, trad wife trends, and political nuance, Lisa has become a beloved, complex voice in a sea of algorithm-chasing perfection.

Together, they dive into:

✅ The real difference between “trad wife cosplay” and actual domestic labor ✅ How TikTok helped her find her voice after decades of people-pleasing ✅ What it’s like being a Jewish, liberal, homeschooling mom in the conservative South ✅ Why the pressure to “do it all” is quietly burning out millennial moms ✅ How creators can reclaim beauty, style, and self-worth—without feeding the machine

They also explore how social media became a virtual group therapy session during COVID, the shift from Pinterest-perfect parenting to honest motherhood, and why being misunderstood online is one of the hardest lessons of all.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t “fit the mold” of what society says a woman, mother, or creator should be—this conversation will validate your existence and your edge.

🎧 Tune in to hear how Lisa is:

✨ Dismantling domestic myths one vintage outfit at a time ✨ Holding space for complexity in motherhood, politics, and fashion ✨ Using TikTok to break cycles of silence and reclaim personal power ✨ Proving you can be both well-dressed and well-informed—and that’s the point
