About Dr. Lillian Williams

Co-host, chaos coordinator, and queen of the comeback, meet Lillian. She’s one half of the dynamic duo behind Mics, Moms & Mayhem and the founder of Panoptic Coaching and Consulting, LLC, a brand built to remind women that they can lead with vision, speak with power, and show up with unstoppable vibes.

With a background in Psychology and Human Services, Lillian is more than just a coach, she’s a transformational public speaker, mentor, and motivator who specializes in helping others rewrite their stories and create lives they don’t need a vacation from. Whether she's on stage, in session, or dropping truth bombs on the mic, she’s dropping wisdom, shifting mindsets, and calling women higher.

But beyond the accolades and ambition, Lillian is also the heart of her home. She's a proud mama to two wild-hearted boys, a brilliant bonus daughter, and the deeply loved wife of over 12 years to the best man on the planet. Full stop. Period.

When she’s not coaching or podcasting, you’ll find her dodging LEGOs, refueling with Takis runs, or pretending her chai latte hasn’t been reheated for the third time.


Lillian is here to keep it real, crack you up, and remind every listener that you can be both a mess and a masterpiece, and still show up and slay the day.
