Guest Overview


New York born, Hollywood stylist, creator of the first expert management agency, a trend spotter and teacher, and co-founder of moms' charity YourMomCares.org, is this week's guest, the irrepressible and inspirational Sharon Feldstein.


Leaving her beloved NYC aged 19, Sharon earned an early break as a costume designer on 70’s hit TV sitcom, TAXI. Never looking back Sharon became a Hollywood stylist, known for her trend spotting ability.

In the late 90’s she created the global trend of sparkle phone covers, before moving on to create the first expert management agency.


Combining her strong sense of justice with her belief in showing up, and her action taking attitude to life, Sharon has used her position as mother of Jonah Hill and Beanie Feldstein, to partner with Patsy Noah (Adam Levine’s Mom) and Terria Joseph (Alicia Keys Mom) to create YourMomCares. Now on a mission to help the most vulnerable children by raising awareness and funding for organizations focused on children’s child mental wellness, Sharon’s next chapter is underway.
