Meet Lannette West
1. Lannette, your journey from TLC’s ‘MILF Manor’ Season 2 to becoming a motivational speaker is truly inspiring. Can you share what sparked your passion for speaking on addiction recovery and female empowerment, and how your time on reality TV shaped that mission?
My journey to becoming a motivational speaker wasn’t planned—it evolved from my life experiences. Surviving addiction, domestic abuse, and cancer ignited a fire in me to help others. ‘MILF Manor’ Season 2 gave me a platform to show my authentic self, and the overwhelming support from fans encouraged me to turn my story into a message of hope. It shaped my mission by proving that vulnerability can inspire change.
2. As a single mother of two and a professional with nearly three decades in IT, you’ve overcome incredible challenges, including addiction, domestic abuse, and cancer. What key lessons from your recovery journey do you most want to share with podcast audiences to inspire them?
The key lessons are resilience and self-belief. As a single mom in IT, I learned to juggle chaos and still stand tall. Recovery taught me that every step forward counts, even the small ones. I’d tell podcast listeners: You’re stronger than you know—lean on support, celebrate progress, and never give up.

3. You’ve been voted a fan favorite on ‘MILF Manor’ Season 2, captivating viewers with your authenticity and resilience. How has that public platform influenced your approach to connecting with audiences as a motivational speaker?
Being a fan favorite on ‘MILF Manor’ showed me the power of being real. It’s influenced me to connect with audiences by sharing unfiltered truths—my struggles and triumphs. That authenticity builds trust, and I use it to engage listeners, making my speaking more relatable and impactful.
4. Female empowerment is a core theme of your speaking career. What does empowerment mean to you, and how do you hope to uplift women through your podcast appearances?
Empowerment to me is about giving women the tools to reclaim their power—self-worth, voice, and choices. Through podcasts, I hope to uplift women by sharing practical advice and stories that inspire them to break free from limitations and pursue their dreams fearlessly.
5. You’ve spoken about your nearly 1,000 days of sobriety on platforms like the ‘Warrior Healer Podcast’. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone struggling with addiction who’s listening to your story on a podcast?
My advice is simple: Start with one day. Those 1,000 days began with a single choice to seek help. To someone struggling, I’d say reach out—whether it’s a friend, therapist, or support group—and take that first step. You’re not alone.
