As I mention in the introduction of my show, Gramps Jeffrey, I believe is the first grandfather I've interviewed on SHLTMM, so that's pretty great. I was so happy to hear how engaged he is with his grandchildren.
Gramps' mother's name was Faye and she really left quite an impression on him and his brother. Faye was the youngest of 3 children, with two older brothers. Growing up during the Depression and WWII, known as The Greatest Generation, was a very challenging time, "and my mother lived up to every expectation", continues Gramps.
While raising her two boys, she insisted they turn off the tv and read-no if, ands or buts. "We loved our mother," says Gramps, referring to him and his brother. They grew up in a small town in Ohio, about 50 miles outside Columbus, where they were free to play outside and knew when to come home in time for dinner. He had relatives nearby as well, including lots of love and support from his grandmother and uncle.
Gramps brags, "mom always had a positive attitude. Her glass was always half full and she was always looking at the 'bright side of life." That philosophy and her passion of reading certainly influenced Gramps and his interest in writing. It's clearly stayed with him even today because he continues to write and read to his 6 grandchildren.
"Mom would remind us regularly that we were very fortunate and had a good life, but that we can't forget other people. This world is hard and she knew it," remarks Gramps. Faye had learned many life lessons from her paternal grandmother who lost her husband suddenly when he was only 49. She was left to raise her children on her own, including Fay's dad. She also raised her nephew who had also lost his parents. But her grandmother was always smiling regardless of her hardships.
Gramps Jeffrey is very concerned about the different parenting styles today. Most concerns him most and feels is most important for every child is 'one on one attention' from the parent. Gramps feels so blessed to have had such a devoted mother, and hopes that parents still take the time to put the phone down, turn the computer off and just sit and read or spend that precious time with your children.
Gramps' mom gave him such a sense of security. "We could always go home and feel secure, you felt love, you felt protected," remarks Gramps about his mom. One of his mom's favorite quotes was "when you love, you will teach others how to love."
Gramps Jeffrey is truly committed to sharing this message. He's got every little child on his mind in hopes that they get all the loving that they truly deserve.
Gramps Jeffrey is his pen name. His real name is Marc Joseph. Here is a link to his LinkedIn profile:

It was such a pleasure to speak with Dani. She's wonderful and has accomplished and overcome quite a bit thus far in her life. And a lot of that has to do with her mother. It took Dani many, many years to figure out what her real connection was with her mother. Was it love? Was it control? Dani was convinced it was love. Even Dani's girlfriends were convinced that she and her mother had the most special relationship and were even a bit jealous of what these two woman had- what looked like a very special bond.
Dani was always there for her mother. Very protective of her, always there by her side should she need anything. If she hadn't heard from her mother within a certain amount of time, Dani would worry. If she said the wrong thing, Dani would worry.
Here's a little bit of what Dani wrote to me about her relationship with her mother, prior to our recorded conversation.
"I'm the way i am because of her. I'm everything she wasn't and still of cuz I find her in me, her fears, her narrative, her internalized voice that speaks to me with grim predictions whenever things go really great for me.
I wrote a whole book about me and my mom called "mutterseelenallein" which is a wonderful german word and means something like "lonelier than alone." Like when you find a kitten in the middle of the forest with no mum but as well as no one else around."Mutterseelenallein" was how my mom and I both felt, while she in fact was given away by her mother in 2nd world war and i had my mom always around like an emotional absent dissociated shadow that lived by my light.
My mom was scared and depressed and my sole purpose was to make her happy. She was very generous when it was about sweets and bedtime but i had a massive price to pay: My self, that i had to surrender to her. She was so close that she suffocated me and at the same time she never was there.""I didnt realize till puberty when i started to become my own person what my mom couldn't handle. As long as I was an extension of herself everything was good, but by the slightest sign of separation, she started to become ugly. Emotional blackmailing, blame shifting and the sad realization that no matter what, I could never make her happy...which i tried until the day she died. Missing out to build my own family as she was my sole responsibility. She became the bitter and hateful, jealous of every move I made, every success I celebrated...she talked my victories small, told me I'm too messy or to fat..no man would ever want me."
Such powerful words to describe a very complex relationship, especially for a young daughter who trusted her mother implicitly.There's so much more to this story. And the great news is that Dani has accomplished so much in her life. She says she loves her mother regardless of how hurtful she was. She a psychotherapist who's loves helping others and is able to help her patients because she is living proof that you can always turn your life around for the better.
As narcissitic as Gabriel was, Dani has learner and voiced her opinion about the significance of raising our children to be able to leave home/the Mother Ship as a teen or in their young adult prime. "The bravest thing to do is teach your kids to separate."
Dani uses her bold and dynamic design choices to lift her internal vibrations, to make her happy and feel alive and appreciate all of her talents regardless of how her mother tried to control her and keep her self esteem bleak. (Tinzeltowndesign)
Brava Dani and I can't wait to meet you in person either in Germany or The Bohoho in South Africa.
*Mutterseelenallein" is a German word meaning "utterly alone" or "completely isolated". It translates literally as "mother's souls alone," but the actual meaning is an extreme sense of loneliness, as if even one's mother has abandoned you. The phrase has a more inteFrom Goodle-Definition of "Mutterseelenallein:"
"Tinzeltown, a high-concept project development and interior design firm redefining "content creator spaces." Known for bold, immersive interiors, Gottschalk's landmark project, The Bohoho in Camps Bay, South Africa, recasts 1960s Palm Springs glamour with striking hues and retro-Hollywood flair—offering an Instagrammable haven that blends luxury and creative freedom for travelers and creators alike.

"I am my mother's only daughter," explains Bergstein. Both of Rachelle's parents eventually remarried. Her father has two daughters from a subsequent marriage. And Rachelle's mom, has remarried twice. Rachelle's parents were very much in love and married right out of college. At around the age of five years old, her parent's split up and Rachelle lived with her mother though there was joint custody between her parents. Rachelle admits that they did a pretty good job of not pushing and pulling her into their disagreements up until just prior to her wedding!
Pauline eventually went to graduate school and became a psychologist and Rachelle says "she'll work into her eighties, she loves it so much." "She had a lot of drive and intelligence that was sort of sitting somewhere and not used. Eventually she learned how to use it." says my guest. There were humble beginning after the divorce, but Pauline eventually found her calling and nothing can stop her now.
Getting support from her mom regarding her writing and being able to have honest open conversations was always helpful, yet Pauline didn't like it "when I dressed sexy. I could pierce my ears, dye my hair, no tattoos till 18. My mother also has a really loud laugh" recalls Rachelle. So loud that Rachelle will sometimes ask her mother to not laugh so loud if they're out in a restaurant.
Some of Rachelle's favorite Judy Blume books include, "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret," "Blubber," "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and so many more. But it was Ms. Blume's natural writing style that enthralled not only Rachelle but teens and young adults around the world, even today. There was a period in the 1980's that Judy Blume was one of the most banned author in America. She wrote about somewhat sensitive topics that her audience was looking to learn more about, but not from their parents. Topics such as menstruation, puberty, parental divorce, sexuality, women's lib/feminism and so much more.
One of many things that Rachelle is grateful for is that her mother was very open about speaking with her about a woman's body and sexuality.
Again, it was reflective for Rachelle to write this latest book "The Genius of Judy Blume-How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us." She clearly saw many similarities in both her mother and Ms. Blume's life. Though the transition of being a young divorcee with children was challenging, once these women hit their stride, they found themselves unstoppable.

In speaking with my two guests, they shared stories of the three generations of writers in the family including, Irene's mother, Wilma, followed by my guest, Irene and her son Brendan. Brendan is an award winning graphic novel/picture book author and acquiring editor at Blackstone Publishing where he also runs the TV and Film Division even made notice of having his maternal grandmothers published books on his desk.
Brendan shares that he was always supported and encouraged by his family with his passion for comic books which he started writing and drawing caricatures at a young age.
In time, Irene expressed "that the family was moving in a different direction and the divorce was almost inevitable." Irene continues, "I'm highly emotionally intelligent and I finally found my tribe. I found people who spoke my language." This all occurred once she went back to school for her Masters Degree in Counseling, and later on became a social worker.
Brendan raves about his childhood as a latch key kid. He loved growing up in Connecticut. And now as a father, he appreciates even more what it takes for parents to raise their children. And now he's learned even more about what his mother was going through raising the four Deneen children.
Both Irene and Brendan claim to be emotionally intelligent-they are very good at listening to others, which Brendan feels that "not many people listen to one another these days." Brendan has always been there for his mom as a sounding board. Irene says " Brendan was my listening post." When she needed to talk, she call Brendan.They have a special bond for sure. They respect one another.
Irene Deneen Murray: Irene Deneen Murray grew up in the 50’s, an era when a woman could be a nurse, teacher or secretary. She chose teacher because it pleased her mother. In truth the first half of her life was devoted to taking care of or pleasing her mother. At age 50 having raised 4 kids in a Hollywood -worthy suburb, Irene became a divorcee and learned to love being more adventurous than she had previously ever imagined. By then she was working as a social worker having recently earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling. Irene loves the natural world and has been a devoted hiker and later a biker, paddler and pretty consistently a practitioner of yoga. She continues these pastimes presently sometimes to the chagrin of her children since they may picture her falling off a cliff, rolling over in her kayak or some other catastrophe. Her children and grandchildren are her greatest achievement. She is a good observer and has insight galore but is sometimes amazed at how each of her children has developed so uniquely.
Brendan Deneen is the author of the novelsThe Ninth Circle andThe Chrysalis, as well as the bestselling four-volume Night Night, Groot picture book series for Marvel/Disney. He’s also the author of the middle-grade graphic novelGreen Arrow: Stranded for DC Comics; the novels Morbius: Blood Ties and Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation:Conquest from Marvel/Titan, and Alien: Uncivil War from 20th Century Studios/Titan. His other graphic novel work includes multiple volumes of Flash Gordon, an original Island of Misfit Toys book, and the original graphic novel Scatterbrain.
In addition to his writing, Brendan has been working in the publishing and film/TV industries for twenty-five years, including development jobs with Scott Rudin Productions and Miramax, as well as editorial and book-to-film jobs with St. Martin's Press and Tor Books. He currently works at Blackstone Publishing, where he's an acquiring editor in addition to running the company's film/TV division, which he created, and where he has dozens of literary projects set up at movie studios, streamers, and networks. His short stories and essays have been published by St. Martin's Press, Reader's Digest Books, 13Thirty Press, and Necro Publications.

Dravon was the eldest of the three kids and would sometimes hear her mom crying at night. That was really hard for Dravon because she knew how hard her mother had worked and how much she gave up in order to give her children a solid family foundation and a good education. So Dravon was afraid to disappoint her mom because of all the sacrifices her mom had made for the family.
Now, Davon is a doctor, an author and a Life Coach. She has so much to thank her mother for, including how her mom instilled in her the power of positive thinking, hard work the power of forgiveness.
In Dravon’s new book, “Forgiveness: The Pathway to Happiness,” she shares her expertise and personal experience with forgiveness. She teaches that "it is not denial, amnesia, or even reconciliation, but a pathway to peace and a lifetime practice." A few inspirational influencers include Oprah Winfrey, Miya Angelou and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.
As a young child, my guest’s journey began in poverty on the South Side of Chicago. Though she had always dreamt of a career on the stage, Dravon went on to earn a doctorate in pharmacy from Creighton University and has worked as a pharmacist for over 30 years. A leader in the healthcare industry , she is the recipient of the Secretary McDonough Coin of Recognition for her leadership efforts to combat the COVID pandemic.
Along with her medical career and theatrical aspirations, Dr. Dravon has always had a keen interest in personal development. After reading Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking in college, she went on to make a lifelong study of the power we all have to create the life we want.
Ruby wasn't all hard work and business. Because of her Southside of Chicago roots, she was the queen of "Chicago Steppin.'
Chicago Steppin', which I was not familiar with until Dravon shared this story of her mom's love of dancing, is a unique and improvisational partner dance, originated in Chicago's Southside and is rooted in soul, jazz, and R&B music, with influences from styles like the Chicago Bop, Lindy Hop, and Western Swing.
Dr. Jame's says her mother always instilled in her children to "be dogmatic and be committed to something." Ruby was unwavering, reflects James. "Her commitment to success was the endgame!"

As a proud mother, Dorothy was all ready to share very specific stories of when she thought June "should listen to her mother," including her junior high musical instrument selection, Orange Bowl Queen/King Orange Bowl Game in Miami, taking a job at the "nascent" CNN news network and not marrying her first husband.
"Greetings From Paradise" began as a screen play and it turned into a gift from June to Coral Gables. It is a one act, 80 minute play written by June Thomson Morris, making it's debut at Miracle Theater on Miracle Mile.
The roaring 20's happened big time in Coral Gables and the Miami area. At that time, the Prohibition was not taken seriously at all. June says "the booze was pouring in with miles of unprotected coastlines between Bermuda and Cuba."
1925 the great Florida Land Boom -no more income tax nor inheritance tax so everyone from up north, who had money, flocked to the Miami area.
In September of 1926, a hurricane leveled Miami and left a path of destruction
June's Grandmother, Lucy, was there and she experienced the loss of all that had been created and developed because of this one horrific storm.
Dorothy as a proud mother, explains that by writing this play, June has done something that no one else has ever done. It's the first time that anyone's written a historically accurate telling of the story of Miami.
Coral Gables is also dedicating a park in Dorothy's honor. It's going to be the first theme park in Coral Gables and named "Dorothy." Dorothy was raised in Peekskill, New York where in the 1800's, L. Frank Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz, attended the Peekskill Military Academy for two years. When L. Frank Baum was looking for his new school, a gentleman told him to "follow the yellow brink road" and you'll find the academy.

Julie Jargon is the first 'Family & Technology' Columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Congratulations again Julie. She is also a Gen X mom. Generation X is the generation after the 'baby boomers'-mid 1960's to early 1980's, and her findings may not be too surprising.
As a parent, I've often told my boys to get off their phones and/or computer for many reasons. The worst being social media and the damning effect it can have on ones self confidence. In times of need, one often thinks that reaching out to friends is the smartest and safest solution, but it doesn't always workout that way. The same holds true for adults. One has to be smart and think outside the box when trying to find new friends or different ways to gather socially.
Moms are human and they have needs too, especially during these trying times of lockdown. Kids are struggling with virtual schooling, parents are either out of work or all working from home. Add a pandemic dog to the mix, so now you essentially have an additional new baby to take care of and train on top of everything else. All of this can lead to chaos in the home.
So a number of mom's sought solace on social media and admit to becoming more lonely and depress. It didn't fulfill their needs the way they had hoped. That's not to say that all social media is bad, you just have to find the right fit your you. Seeing others out and about, carrying on and having fun during these past two years while you're at home doing 'the right and smart thing' can be upsetting. Jargon is spot on when saying "we should be prioritizing friendships. She continues, "research shows how important friendships are to physical and mental health."
Julie has a number of wonderful suggestions on how to meet up with friends and make new ones during these trying times. I'm sure some of her suggestions will help you and give you a different perspective about how to truly use this powerful tool as social media to your benefit. And she suggests "don't be afraid to show your vulnerability. Ask for what you want and sometimes you must take the initiative."

My guest, Dr. Joseph Garcia, was speaking to me from the Pacific Northwest. As he said, "I'm 15 miles south of Canada and 6 miles in from the water (Pacific Ocean)."
Emma was born and raised in Alabama. She moved up North to Milwaukee and started her family in her 40's. Joseph is so proud of all his mom's accomplishments and is overwhelmed at times by the number of lives she touched. One of the things that impressed Joseph the most, is that "I never saw my mother get angry, ever in my life." She was sure to never raise her voice at home, because the look of disappointment was way more effective than any shouting could possibly be.
"Son, you're going to have to do twice as much, to get half as far," was one of Emma's most memorable expressions. She was trying to prepare her mixed race adopted son for the real world. In the 1950's, it could be challenging for people of color to find a significant job to help support the family.
Apparently Joseph didn't really have any interest in school as a teen. "It wasn't as important as my social life", say's Joseph. "My mother would often say "son I know you can do better, you have to decide to do that. Then she'd walk away." My guest continues, "children of color were not directed toward the college prep courses back then. But I took advantage of shop class, etc. I learned how to build a house."
It wasn't until seeing the rest of the world that Joseph realized how special his mother was and how fortunate he was growing up.
Because Dr. Garcia was adopted and because he was mixed race, he was often bullied and teased by his classmates. HIs mom wanted to help Joseph be resilient to this intimidation so she would say to her son, "yeah you're more than one race. We picked a child who had the best qualities of all the races put together into one child." And Joseph's direct response to these pests was " "yeah my mom chose me. Your parents are stuck with you!"
To this day, my guest is still shocked by the hundreds of friends and former students came to his mother's funeral when she passed at 99 years old. "They flew in from all over the country to pay their respect. She influenced so many people."
More of Emma's expressions:
"I'll rest when I die"
"I'm too old to be polite. I'm going to tell you the truth"
"Moss doesn't grow on me and I don't want it to grow on you"
"You always have to do something before you can do something else. AND there's always somethin"
"Son, don't pick something up before you have a place to put it down-that's not just stuff, that's people, that's things in your life, that's everything"

As a young child, Sarah, native to Western Australia, didn't understand the voices and visions inside her head. She didn't understand how she knew things that a 4 year couldn't possibly know. It wasn't until she was older that she came to understand that she had psychic/intuitive abilities.
"As a child, I was emotionally and verbally abused by my mother and brother," continues Strong. My mom was Bipolar/Narcissistic and that made the situation even complicated.
Sarah's father didn't really play a role in her life. Now, Sarah says "he has an anti-role." "He's never been a big presence in my life. I was a wild child as a kid and growing up. If he'd been in my life when I was young, I would have rejected him anyway."
"I have gifts including being a medium, empath, telepath & psychic & I channel the star beings, beings from other dimensions and many other beings of the light including the Ascended Masters, angels, fairies, loved ones on the other side, Jesus, Mother Mary and many more. During a session the channel is opened and guided by your spirit guides," affirms Strong.
Ms. Strong gladly professes, "my aim in life is to bring as much joy to everyone in this blessed world as I can," that comes from someone who's had a brutal childhood, made some bad choices and picked herself up again.
For more information about Sarah Strong and her work check out her website. Link is below. Below are a few positive affirmations from Sarah.
DO YOU DESIRE SPIRITUAL ALIGNMENT, TO KNOW YOUR TRUE LIFE PURPOSE OR TO DEEPEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
CELEBRATE ALL THAT YOU ARE!!! YOU ARE A BRILLIANT SHINING STAR AND YOU ARE A BRILLIANT HUMAN!!! BE IT ALL; THE MESSY AND THE BEAUTIFUL

To say that Claire Sinclair is generous with her time, is an understatement. She's been a teacher for decades. And currently she's teaching kindergarten in the same classroom at the same elementary school she attended.
What's interesting about how our conversation began is that both Claire and her mother attended Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ and both women married their high school sweethearts, just decades apart.
Claire shares stories of the similarities of she and her mom and how much it means to her that so many people from her community still hold her mother close to their heart. Claire's mother, 'Ellie,' was known as "The Duck Lady" in Maplewood/South Orange NJ. What she started many years ago as a simple race in a brook with plastic ducks has grown to raising tens of thousands of dollars annually for different organizations that help and support kids, ie Kiwanis, Scouts, YMCA, etc.
Ellie's mom, Claire's maternal grandmother, passed away when Ellie was in her 20's. When Ellie's father remarried, there was no real love between she and her step mother so she moved in with one of her favorite aunts, Aunt Fay, her birth mother's sister, who ran a preschool out of her home. Ellie had interests in nursing and/or becoming a teacher but her career was cut short when it was time to start a family.
Claire says "she likes to dabble in a little bit of everything, just like her mom." Claire is involved in community awareness when it comes to food insecure families. She volunteers regularly at local food pantries distributing food as well as keeping her young students involved by organizing can drives at the elementary school. As a board member for MEND, Meeting Essential Needs with Dignity, located throughout Essex County, NJ, Claire regularly sees families in need of help and like her mom, it's hard for her to say no to helping others.
Claire is the administrator of a Facebook Group, 'Habitual Gratitude 365' where she shares daily prompts of things that her multitude of followers are grateful for. Again, like her mom, and as a mother, she loves to help others in need.
Claire's mother passed away in 2013 but she's left an imprint on the community. Claire was lucky enough to have one last phone call from her mom and she's so happy that she picked up that call.
Claire also has a park bench in Maplewood Memorial Park, which was dedicated to her mother, by the community, nestled nicely right beside the brook where Ellie started her very first Memorial Day 'Duck Race.' That's where Claire goes on a regular basis to feel her mother's support, love and guidance.

Micheal's been working on his own personal healing journey for a minimum of fifteen years.
"I walked into therapy for the first time when I was seven years old because someone had molested me," reflects Michael. Michael's been working at changing his life trajectory. It's taken years of being committed to changing his past experiences to better his future. Michael is now offering help to others. (All information is below regarding his website, free weekly meet-ups, and his social media links, etc.)
This is probably the best advice anyone could give someone with addiction and abuse issues. Michael is sincere when he says "you've got to just make a decision whether or not you're going to walk this path. If you're tired of your life being a disaster, you're tired of all the things you're going through you're tired of feeling like a victim, and again I'm not taking anyone's victimhood away, I get it, but at some point you got to decide whether or not you're going to take control of your life. And that's the hardest thing that you're going to have to do in this life- is choose yourself."
"Hurt people hurt people" Michael repeats. His mother, Donna, was not well and had suffered a life full of abuse, drugs and alcohol, so she was unable to "change the arc of her own life." She tried over and over again to get help. She was in and out of facilities. Said she was going to AA meeting just for Michael's sake and she just couldn't beat it. According to Michael, "she chose drugs and alcohol over her children and she ultimately destroyed everything that she touched."
Michael never had his biological father in his life. But what he did have were abusive step fathers which of course, did not help the situation.
This story that Michael shares is very personal. He mentioned that he hasn't really had many of these kinds of open conversation, specifically about his mother, so I appreciate Michael trusting me with his story.
It's not an easy journey. "Michael often has to explain that "I don't think people know how hard this work is, to change the arc of your life." There are lots of scars, but there is hope. And it is possible to design your own destiny.

Before we get into more of the story, I just wanted to mention that Liz, as a comedian performed for the sold out symposium on January 12, 2025 for "Not Your Mother's Menopause, NJ which took place in Maplewood,NJ. Allison Kalsched along with Dr. Sharon Mallone, OBGYN and best Selling Author, were guests on S6E4 of SHLTMM. I wanted to mention Stacey Futterman Tauriello and April McKenzie who are also Co-Founders of NYMMNJ. Many people were involved, working diligently to have a long list of practitioners and professionals speak on the topic of women's health, wellbeing and happiness.
This is the story of mother and daughter that absolutley love one another and have a very special connection. They love to talk about anything and everything. It's heartwarming to hear these stories of their relationship and how laughter is such an integral part of both of their lives. You'll hear liz share stories about how great her mom is at landing a story and that she's got great comedic timing. Comedy and laughter can be therapeutic and I think it's been healing for both women.
Liz and Toby have their own Love Language. They understand one another perfectly where as other people may not really understand exactly what they're talking about. The two women also love speaking to one another before going to bed. As a child, her mom would give Liz the option of reading a book or talking before bed and Liz would automatically choose option two of talking together.
"My mom was fun but not like a cool mom. Both of my parents were over protective. But my mom loves to talk and boy does she know how to land a story," according to Glazer."If she wants to be a comedian," I support her.
As a teen, Liz would have some girlfriends over for a sleepover and naturally in the middle of the night mom would come down to keep an eye on the girls so they got some sleep. Toby lays down on the floor with the girls and the only two awake are Liz and her mom. The two women wind up talking till late in the morning?
"Both mom and dad grew up with Holocaust survivors as parents" shares Liz. Her mother's upbringing -was tough. On one hand her parents experienced an atrocity in the Concentration camps. They were traumatized and now living in a foreign country. Meanwhile, Toby was trying to fit in as an American on Long Island. A friend asked why is Theresa name Theresa? For fear of Anti Semitic backlash?Toby's birth certificate originally had "Theresa" listed as her first name as not to be recognized as being Jewish. Eventually they legally changed her name legally.
Retail returns are a right of passage. Liz has been returning purchases for her mother for decades.
Liz share "this is the story of a woman who endured sadness and trauma and found hope and laughter and a sense of calm through her own resilience, helped by friends and her family and ultimately has become the strong woman that her family members saw that she was before she saw it herself."

This podcast is a collection of timeless stories that highlight the powerful role of maternal figures in our society. Whether your mother influenced you positively or you thrived despite challenges, this show resonates deeply.
I highly recommend “Should Have Listened To My Mother” Podcast for its insightful, heartfelt and enriching content.

Some of my guests include Nationally and Internationally recognized authors, Journalists, Columbia University Professors, Health Practitioners, Scientists, Artists, Attorneys, Baritone Singer, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist, Activists, Freighter Sea Captain, Film Production Manager, Professor of Writing Montclair State University, Attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Property Manager, Chefs, Self Help Advocates, therapists and so many more talented and insightful women and men.
Jackie has worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. She has interviewed many fascinating people including musicians, celebrities, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians and more.

Dr. Sharon Malone's book is titled "Grown Woman Talk, Your Guide to Getting Healthy and Staying Healthy." This is a book isn't filled with stats, charts and graphs. It's a book about taking care of oneself and getting support from family, friends and doctors that take the time to recognize you, your symptoms and guide you in the correct direction until you get the answers that you need.
Bertha, Dr. Malone's mother, was born in 1914 in rural Alabama. Sadly Bertha died when Dr. Malone, her youngest daughter, was twelve. Out of necessity, Bertha and close relatives had to self diagnose any and all illnesses. There wasn't really any medical services nearby. It was all based on collective knowledge from family members and maybe a midwife who could help out. It was her family, a few things in a medicine cabinet, home remedies, etc that worked when one of her children was sick. "There was so much of an "ancestral collective of knowledge" that Bertha had access to, that we don't have today," reflects Malone.
My guest's mother, Bertha lost her mother when she was 14 and Bertha and her sixteen year old sister had three younger siblings to raise. It wasn't an easy childhood, but it didn't stop Bertha for instilling such a wealth knowledge in her own children. I highly recommend you read "Grown Woman Talk," to get the full impact of her mother's life and Dr. Malone's philosophies regarding health.
Dr. Malone explains, "medicine is not the answer for everything, but there is also a place and time for it. Don't run to the doctor every time there's a sniffle." "She'd like to see the pendulum come back to the middle," regarding the health field.
Bertha was a maid in officers quarters of the near by Military base because she had to work. Plus Bertha took care of the work around the house including the cooking, cleaning, etc.
Bertha was confident and calm but there are so many stories that Dr. Malone doesn't know about. In the early 20th century Bertha was very practical and conscientious especially when it came to diet, health and "necessities.
Dr. Malone lovingly shares stories of her mother, her work ethic and the moral grounding and how important it was. "I still hear her voice in my head. When I do things I either think of them as either this will make my mother proud or my mother would not be pleased with this particularly behavior."
Dr. Malone only had twelve formative years with her mother, but she says "I learned enough about character and what was and wasn't important in life in that short time. Don't ever doubt the the value and importance of mothers and the effect they have on their children. In those few years, I had enough to be really influenced by her about what kind of woman i wanted to be and what kind of mother I wanted to be."
Allison Kalsched a women's fitness specialist is one of the Co-Founders of NYMMNJ. She was so excited to share the "significance of the community of women" that came together to not only organize this first ever symposium but the respected presenters and the 250 women that came from near and far to this event.
Allison has been working exclusively with women for about ten years on their fitness and health journey. "The story hasn't changed much, remarks Kalsched, since Dr. Malone's mother was born in the early part of the twentieth century, and everything she (Bertha) learned about women's health was through a symposium of women-the benefits of being surrounded by women and how we can help one another." NYMMNJ was put together by a group of women out of the necessity of getting the help they need for their midlife health and wellbeing. Most of these women had come to Allison for training and they've been through all life changes together.
Allison concurs that women some times make things too complicated and tend to put our well being on the back burner. As women age we need to work on our bodies differently than when we were younger. Taking the time to see a doctor is important, but "we have to think about the woman's body as much more complicated and much more holistic." Fifty percent of the women who walk in Allison's door complain of frozen shoulder or plantar fasciitis, they are the most common complaints. Allison believes that mainly these issues of inflammation in joints are reactions to changes in our hormones " it's all connected."
NOT YOUR MOTHER'S MENOPAUSE NJ:
Not Your Mother’s Menopause NJ is the creation of three Maplewood/South Orange based women who recognized a need for an event such as this.
April L McKenzie started the popular Facebook group Perimenopause — It’s for Real (now renamed Not Your Mother’s Menopause NJ) when she became increasingly frustrated at her own personal experience with finding help for her perimenopausal symptoms. Since the group’s founding in 2021, almost 800 women have shared their knowledge, resources and experiences. She has just been voted in as a board member of Let's Talk Menopause, a national nonprofit, where she will grow her involvement in women's health advocacy and menopause awareness.
Stacey Futterman Tauriello is the founder of 5 Point Physical Therapy and a pelvic health specialist. After 28 years practicing pelvic health, Stacey (and her patients) were going through hormonal changes that affected their lifestyle in many ways.
Allison Kalschedis a women’s fitness specialist who has worked in the Maplewood area for over 10 years. As she and her clients have aged together, she became increasingly interested in how the menopause transition affects every system in a woman’s body. She is currently studying to become a certified menopause coach.
The three of us have come together to help our community forge a path through the information overload about the menopause transition. This event took place for the very first time on January 12, 2025! More information coming regarding a video of the day long event with all the presenters including Dr. Sharon Malone.

In 2024, Judy released her book, "The Hidden Power in Your DNA." She's also published "Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint," and you can get more information about placing an order on her website. The information is below.
Judy immediately told me that she's not one that doesn't love her mother. She and her mother are very close and she can't say enough great things about her experience as a child. Shirley created a wonderful environment to experience as a child. "Her parents were strict but loving. Judy says she knew what her boundaries were in terms of not just outward but inward. I never felt like it was so strict, I couldn't breathe. I knew what discipline looked like."
Shirley used to say "if you're going to do something, do it properly or don't bother." And Judy interprets that by saying, "there's a whole bunch of magic in doing something really, really well. Invest in yourself and it makes soul magic. Investing in yourself through that process, it makes soul magic."
Judy goes on to describe how when her mum was working in the garden, she put her two daughter's in a wheelbarrow when they were little girls. Shirley lined the wheelbarrow with a blanket and filled it with snacks, drinks, books and things to play with and it is to this day one of Judy's fondest memories. Again, Shirley always created magic.
Judy loves everything Disney, again because it's magical. And Judy suggests you "watch Encanto and Frozen because you are the magic, you are the imagineer, you are the one who can make it happen. You are the creator of what's possible."
As we were saying goodbye to one another, Judy professed, "mothers are amazing. "And every single gift your mother ever gave you was meant for you, because it grows you the way that you can be and only you can be, don't forget it. Even when the gift doesn't look great."
Hope you enjoy the episode. There's so many more wonderful stories about Judy, her mother and Judy's step daughter and their loving relationship. Judy is so grateful for all that her mother taught her and how she was raised.

Both Llance and Lori share that Milly was a generous and wonderful person. "There was a real strength about her" continues Lori," and I didn't see her cry very often."
Again, Milly had wonderful qualities about her even after major setbacks . Lori's mother and father had four children and raised them in the Seattle, WA area. Lori's youngest brother, is developmentally disabled which, Lori says, "it gave our family a different dynamic. All my mother wanted was the best for her kids. I think of how hard my mom worked to just give us a normal life, in spite of the challenges." So in honor of Milly, they named their soups after her.
The broths came to fruition because Lori was a long time teacher and for years would bring a bouillon to work with her and add hot water for a nutritional snack. That's when Llance said, I'm going to try and make you something more nutritious and with less salt. And the creation of Millie's Sipping Broth had it's beginning.
I don't know if you're familiar with the podcast "How I Built This" with host Guy Raz. Well I listened to an episode and Llance was a guest on the show. Guy also had an entrepreneur cohost, Jim Koch, Founder of Samuel Adams Beer. The two hosts talk through a business venture idea with each caller and give advice. Well Llance got some great feedback from both gentleman and things really seems to be taking off for Milly's Sipping Broth.
Llance created a discount code for SHLTMM podcast listeners. The code is " mom20" for 20% off anything at milliessippingbroth.com. A link for the offer is attached here; https://milliessippingbroth.com/discount/mom20
Thank you so much for listening. I hope you enjoy this episode.

He wasn't your average ordinary young child because of his knack for computer skills, coding expertise and love for video games, etc.
Roberto calls himself an "IT Craftsman." He likes to know how each thing works down to the tiniest detail. He's a father, husband and wonderful co-worker. HIs clients have said, "Roberto's exceptional knowledge is only surpassed by his kindness and willingness to support others."
My guest's passion lies in technology, Web 3, P2P, Blockchain and so much more. Roberto was so excited to join us and share stories of his mother Camilla who's mother was a Baroness and the title was eventually passed down to Camilla when her mother passed away. Roberto's parents were never physical when it came disciplining him. They were able to have conversations to clear any issues up. Often, Roberto's parents did his usual chores for him because it was just easier for them. Unfortunately, that "hands off attitude," had a bit of a down side to Roberto's experience. Had Roberto been accused of things, things he didn't do, his parents took other adult's word for truth and they never allowed Roberto to defend himself of any of these false accusations. He uses this experience as a big lesson especially in raising his own children. He's adamant about having these open and honest conversations with his children. False accusations have a lasting effect on all of us, especially when you're a young child. He's still waiting to get an apology from the Boy Scout leader.
One big surprise for my guest was that he never had any idea that his grandmother was a baroness. He had no idea that nobility was in his genes. It was lucky for Camilla's family, because there was wealth in the family and that allowed them access to food during WWII. Roberto says that it shaped his mother's personality. "She would never throw away one gram of leftover food and use it the next day." Camilla wouldn't let anyone throw anything away, no waste, preserve everything. They enjoyed spending time enjoying simple things in life, like being out in nature and long bicycle rides in the mountains.
Camilla grew up in the mainland of Venice, Italy.
Both parents were into mathematics. Camilla continued her studies but didn't finish a degree. Shortly afterward she became a housewife and a full time mother. Many years later after her husband passed, Camilla became a tour guide and a teacher of English but Roberto says her English wasn't really that good so he was a little bit embarrassed.
Roberto hasn't lived in Italy most of his life. He left at 18 years old and would return for holidays. Since his mom died almost two two years ago, Roberto has stopped going to Italy for Christmas.
Roberto says he owes a lot to his siblings for taking care of their mom for so many years. According to Roberto, his mother would often start telling a very lengthy story so it would take yet two more hours in order to leave her apartment.
Roberto and his mother both have/had a fantastic sense of humor and always find ways to be happy in life. She never really understood how Roberto could take care of himself and his businesses beginning at such a young age.
Camilla had a remarkable intuitive ability to warn her son not to get involved with certain businesses or with a particular person. She was often right. She even suggested that he marry a particular girlfriend years ago. He didn't listen to his mother's advice and he definitely has regrets.
linkedIn:RC10

If Roberto didn't work in computers and technology, he says he'd love to be a comedian. Humor, laughter and happiness was a common theme for he and his mom. "It's the biggest medicine to smile and laugh" Roberto reflects. "Whatever I do, I have to do it with a smile and with a joke in the middle."
"Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. You'll be amazed at what the responses are.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In 2018/2019, in getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal stories of their relationship with their mother, for better or worse and what they learned from that maternal relationship.
Some of my guests include Nationally and Internationally recognized authors, Journalists, Columbia University Professors, Health Practitioners, Scientists, Artists, Attorneys, Baritone Singer, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist, Activists, Freighter Sea Captain, Film Production Manager, Professor of Writing Montclair State University, Attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Property Manager, Chefs, Self Help Advocates, therapists and so many more talented and insightful women and men.
Jackie has worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. She has interviewed many fascinating people including musicians, celebrities, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians and more.

Alana says "we ate a mix of Chinese food and Australian mix of food which consisted mainly of meat and potatoes, however, mom never enjoyed cooking.
Alana's mom is warm and fuzzy yet she and her mom didn't talk openly of intimate topics regarding female issues.
Alana has one brother, Adam, three years older, they will always be there for one another. Alana describe's their relationship as "chalk and cheese."
Lesley had studied bio chemical science and worked in hospital labs.
"As a teenager mom was quite studious but also very very social. She has an ability to retain so much information about the people she's met. She inquisitive and interested when she meets someone and can retain all of this information. Lesley is very creative and logical. Lesley enjoyed calligraphy and making things, "it's a nice balance" according to Alana.
Alana explains that her parents were at university with the same group of friends. "Mom was the bad-cop with strict rules, dad was fun to be with," according to my guest. " Lani" is Alana's nickname. Dad went to chiropractic school as an adult. Alana's dad had to get psychiatric help for a while when she was a child, so mom was on her own for a while taking care of the kids. "Dad was ahead of his time in that he openly searched out help on his own. Personal health is very important to him and he wanted professional help and not just to rely on being medicated", recalls Alana.
"My mother is very empathic and very loyal," and being on her own was tough. my grandparents helped a lot but my mother rose to the occasion. Mom says family comes first. I'm sure this was a very tough time for my mother. Both or our parents gave us a very happy and healthy childhood, even with these ups and downs," reflect Bonnemann.
Lesley's the oldest of three children. Lesley and her mother have a very close relationship.
I asked my guest, "If you're having a bad day and just need someone to talk to, is your mom the first one you call? Alana responds, "I would always go to my mom but my mom always gives me the same advice "you'll be alright, you'll be ok, it'll be what it'll be . Before Alana calls her mom, she already knows what her mother's response will be. "There's always that assurance there," continues Alana. Mom can you just validate my feelings. She's always there. She's open to it as well. She doesn't block me out.
I love how Alana responded to my next question regarding her mother.... "This is the story of a woman.....? And this is her response which I love." "This is the story of a woman who loves her family. She is like a mother duck who will put her wings over the people that she cares about and keeps them close to her heart. "Alana lives in Germany and her mother is in Australia and she's always, even from afar, always encouraging that we have a strong bond with all of our family members."
Alana has chosen the emoji of the flamenco/tango dancer to describe her mom-"she's a bit spicy, she got a flare, she's got energy, she got jazz about her." Lesley is very active. She dragon boat peddles and plays Pickleball. "She's quite short but just a lot of energy. She keeps track of all of Alana's friends back in Australia," reflects Alana.
When asked about her career and how is her philosophy of helping women is different from others, Alana says "it all comes down to purpose, perhaps. She believes that if someone is healthy and feels mentally, emotionally and physically sound we have that much more to offer others. "By elevating women to be able to feel well, then they get to impact their life and that impacts other people's lives . There's a wave of change and in perhaps in my own way, changing the world, for the better."
I learned a lot from Alana. Our mind is a powerful thing and we can get pulled off track very easily. You can either go for that chocolate or sugar treat that's calling out to you or perhaps trade that in for a few minutes of meditation. Neither is bad but meditation may be more frustrating, but consider which will bring you more happiness and what are the long term benefits that we can get from doing things that benefit our health?

Henry Woodman, a really interesting entrepreneur and father was wonderful explaining the complexities of his mother's behavior. He and his two siblings had to juggle so many crazy situations that would never have happen in a "normal" family. Henry shares stories of his mother that are truly shocking and unfortunate for any children to have to had to experience. And again, when you take into account what Margo experienced as a child, perhaps one can be more forgiving.
All of that said, Henry loved his mother, yet was her affection genuine? "It's hard to say because regardless of the things she set her children up to do. He says that his mother was very loving and affectionate in spite of asking her children to steal things from stores and then act shocked and surprised when confronted by the store manager, etc. if they got caught.
"As a kid you don’t really realize what was going on-that was kind of messed up", reflects Woodman. " When mom was growing up, the sense of having missed out or being robbed and the victimization thing came through her whole life. She would do whatever she needed to do in order to have the appearance of somebody successful or wealthy. It manifested itself in us looking at the world saying there’s more to it than the superficial part of it. We had horseback riding , tennis, speak multiple languages, it was challenging but also thankful for it all (languages, etc) plus other things that she felt the kids have to have this facade."
Lessons learned by Henry were many including first and foremost, he could have continued on the path of "I need more," I deserve more," etc. But he chose a different path, one not superficially charged, one of morals and doing what's right. What he did learn from his mother is tolerance and resilience. And Henry is so thankful for these gifts.

"She had a really, really good life," says Stephanie about her mother. That said, it was a good life, yet complicated.
As a young girl, Joanie had many friends, and so many were drawn in by her joyful energy, big heart and infectious laugh. Joanie's father owned a women's clothing store and she got to ware the newest designs of dresses and outfits from the shop on a regular basis. She love her father and she love all the beautiful clothes. Unfortunately, Joanie's father died suddenly when she was pregnant with Stephanie. Stephanie believes that her mother never fully recovered from this loss.
In time, Joanie taught her daughter how to nurture female relationships and Stephanie is so thankful for that. Joanie would spend time on the phone speaking with her girlfriends and she was a wonderful letter writer. She often wrote letters and sent care packages to Stephanie when away at camp, etc.
Later on in life, unfortunately Joanie had been misdiagnosed by her doctors, before they started treating her for dementia. Communication eventually became challenging for mother and daughter and Stephanie wanted to figure out a way for both women to be able to communicate. Stephanie started engaging more with the right side or "intuitive" side of her brain in hopes of opening up their connection through mind, body and spirit.
After a long journey, Stephanie was relieved when her mother passed away. Stephanie insists that if she had do it all over again, she wouldn't change a thing. Though it was tough growing up with a mom with mental illness, there was so much love and appreciation between them. Stephanie is also grateful to her father who never wavered with his support, compassion and attention and was always by his wife's side, giving and getting her the best care possible.
It's been many years since Joanie passed and yet Stephanie is in conversation, visual and spiritual connection with her mother on a regular basis. Including the signs that her mother sends via the red cardinal outside the window.
Stephanie is so thankful for her journey with her mother because my guest feels "a really sharp ability to read energy." Stephanie shares "that's part of the lesson of this walk in life. We con't have control of the things we presume to have control over." My guest is so grateful for the "nudges" that she started getting years ago. And even more thankful that she started recognizing and acknowledging these intuitive messages.
She's built a career helping others because of her mother's experience and she's so happy her mother is still a huge part of her life. Stephanie shares "through my channeling gifts, I reconnect people to their soul’s wisdom and innate intuition to create a life of their wildest imagining."
Stephanie is asked regularly "how do I know if I have intuitive gives like you"? "My answer is this: we ALL have powerful intuitive gifts. All of us. But we don’t all use these gifts because somewhere along the journey we were taught to mistrust ourselves or fear our gifts. That’s the bad news. The good news is: you can reclaim your gifts at any time! Your intuition never goes away.
Speaking with Stephanie was so uplifting and a reminder to not ignore the signal or "nudges" as Stephanie refers to the signals or messages we gets from a loved one and/or a higher power.
If you're looking to contact Stephanie regarding sessions, all the correct information is below.
