Jeannine's  biological mother got pregnant In her early 20's and was unwed. Her family  sent her away for months to a facility in Evanston, IL,  for single mothers until her baby was born, never to speak of the incident again. Though it was a closed adoption, eventually my guest was able to track down her biological mother. 

The unfortunate part of the story was the unsettling abuse that Jeannine  suffered  at home from a young age. Jeannine was never good enough, she looked different than her adoptive parents and two younger, not biological siblings, she was fat, etc.

"The mental abuse was so tricky"shares Jeannine. A phrase she heard and felt on a regular basis was "you're only good enough if you.........  Fill in the blank with 'are pretty, skinny, look like us, etc.  Carol would repeatedly say, "girls are so bad, you are so fake, you don't know how to love anybody" continues Jeannine.  

Very driven, my guest was  on a journey to find herself and her real mother. Jeannine says there was something inside her that was  silently directing her to things otherworldly and intangible. She left a successful business career to dive into a more Eastern philosophy of life and spiritual knowing.

Ms. Kim says " she  always felt different and was looking for appreciation and acceptance on a regular basis."

For 24 years, Jeannine has been offering healing wisdom and guidance to clients worldwide as an Intuitive Reader, 5D Astrologer, Medium, H.H.P., Yogi, Teacher and Author.

In listening to our conversation, Jeannine will explain,  "mother is mantra." She explains further, "I love saying Mother IS Mantra, as  the way that all she is (inside and out) or does or says ..it stays with us, it repeats ...all of it (for better or worse)... just like we do with Mantra." 

My guest continues, "this is not my story anymore."

"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.

“A Heartfelt and Insightful Exploration of Maternal Love”

Jackie Tantillo’s “Should Have Listened To My Mother” Podcast is a treasure and it’s clear why it’s a 2023 People’s Choice Podcast Award Nominee.  This show delves into the profound impact mother and maternal role models have on our lives through personal stories and reflections.

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.

"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.

A big thank you goes to Ricky Soto, NYC based Graphic Designer, who created the logo for "Should Have Listened To My Mother".
