For the most part, traditional Korean culture dictated that the father would work and the mom stayed home to raise the family. The woman's role is to take care of the children, not pursue a career. Uri's mom struggled with playing the subordinate role and was passionate about becoming a painter, yet she married at a young age.

To this day, Myung Hee shares her wisdom with her daughter's and helps guide them through life based on her own personal experiences as a child.

She is grounded, intuitive, spiritual and generous with her time and feels that she has lots to teach her children.

Uri lee is a healer,trauma hypnotist, works with clients needing help with addiction disorders and more.

Uri thanks her mom for teacher her about overcoming old patterns, loving herself, pampering herself drawing boundaries and believing in yourself.

When your mom makes all the little things in life magical, who needs the big things? Jen Hale's mother, Nancy  taught music lessons in the evening and was home taking care of the 3 girls during the day.  This week's guest, Jen Hale, recalls her mom's spirit, wisdom, patience and compassion in moments when not  every mother and/or father could -the moments when a parent is filled with fear for their child's future.   However,  Nancy believed that "there is a bigger plan in life and you have to do what's in your heart and not worry about what others think."

Jen definitely has her hands full with her  11 kids but she wouldn't trade it for the world. Regardless of all the crazy comments people say when seeing the family all together, she couldn't be happier and more appreciative of all the little things her mother taught her.

Dr. Ramani's parents repeatedly explained to their daughter  that education was the most important thing  in her life in order to be respected and taken seriously . There was  no way around potential bias toward a young Indian woman regardless of the fact that she was born in the United States and  an American citizen.

The oldest of two daughters, Dr. Ramani took this responsibility very seriously and is now a very successful doctor concentrating on helping those exposed to Narcissistic behavior.

Because of her mother's experience, Dr. Ramani has accomplished all that she has.

Sai, Dr. Ramani's mother, was at the top of her high school class in India and  ready for admission to medical school when she was told to forget about medical school because you are going to get married and move to the United States.  An arranged marriage was way more important.  A woman, had to get married at that time because they weren't considered as valuable as a son.

Dr. Ramani's mother is not narcissistic, but Dr. Ramani has had direct experience with friends and others  who suffer from  narcissistic behavior.

She is the author of two books:

"Don't know Who I Am" & "Should I Stay Or Should I Go".

She has her own Youtube Channel-https://www.youtube.com/user/DoctorRamanDurvasula, been featured on  National TV,  a guest on Red Table Talk and cohost of the podcast "Sexual Disorientation". 

"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.

So much thought goes into the conversations that a mother has with her daughter about becoming a woman.  A wonderful book for adolescent and pre-adolescent girls, "The Alchemy of Womanhood",  is a wholesome and poetic take on becoming familiar with the beauty and power of your own body as a young lady.  

Author, actor and director, Dolores Rice, who's husband is Andrew McCarthy, considers herself a storyteller and seeker and felt compelled to document this experience openly and with love.

Dolores shares her stories of her loving mother Margot and the difference in the non-conversations that she experienced versus the bountiful and generous conversations Dolores has had with her daughter, Willow.

Imagine your home is abuzz, young inspired graduate students coming and going discussing literature, your parents writing their own works plus editing for others.   This is how Anya describes her childhood.

Her parents met while working at John's Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. Once Anya was born, the family moved onto Baton Rouge, La. where  mom and dad both got jobs as  writing professors at Louisiana State University. This allowed them to write their own works as well as complete editorial work for others. They taught at  LSU for  two decades.  

Moira Crone, Anya's mother, wrote several fictional novels, often incorporating her childhood memories and experiences from  North Carolina . Since her retirement from LSU, Moira, an accomplished visual artist, loves creating and hosting 'Art/Zoom' classes with her granddaughters. She is also a natural psychic and her art truly reflects her connection to her mystic beliefs.

 Anya has been working  long and hard from a young age and is very accomplished, often keeping others, especially children's issues close at hand. She's  reported on  everything from technology and education, standardized testing, too much screen time for kids, high costs of education and much, much more.

Check out her most recent book, "The Art of Screen Time: How Your Family Can Balance Digital Media and Real Life." Look for her upcoming book  entitled "The Stolen Year"-the year lost to the pandemic.

Anya is compassionate, steadfast and dedicated to helping  parents and children overcome their educational, emotional and social challenges.  She works tirelessly  researching to help solve these problems that we all face.

Best of luck Anya. It was an absolute please hearing  about your childhood and your relationship with your mother.

"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.

 "Have I Taught You Everything I Know", a book of daily entries, sheds light on who exactly McGrath's mom was/is and helps clarify her mom's personality and life choices and philosophies.  Monette and her mom were always two peas in a pod regardless of the complicated family history....(with 8 sets of parents and two divorces). "I had put my mom on a pedestal and later learned that no one is perfect, but I always knew that my mom loved me unconditionally."    "My mom thinks I'm brave just because I go on stage in front of lots of people and perform,  but she's really the brave one." 

All the insight and life lessons that were passed down from McGraw's mother will be shared with McGraw's young daughter-lessons of love, obstacles and challenges and especially bravery.

My guest was a baby when her unmarried teen mom left her with her abusive grandmother for ten years, and yet she harbors no ill will toward anyone.  "i was always told, I could never do nothin right," LeQuita mentions though she seems to have done everything right.

She kept moving forward in life as though what was given her had no real consequences-she knew from a young age that there was 'more'.  "One of the many blessings is because the people I was around didn't love me and I didn't love them.  I didn't want to emulate them."

LeQuita Vance-Watkins lives in Vermont and still surrounds herself with the MORE of life, "the best of everything", the Arts.

Jay and his mother were joined at the hip back then and still today even though Doris now lives on the west coast and he on the east.  Doris and Jay had a great understanding and mutual respect for each other. They had plenty of "she and I" moment Jay fondly recalls, when they would go shopping together over the weekend.

Doris was a single mom and worked as a Social Worker at the Bronx Court House.  Soon enough she found a job there for young Jay so as to keep him out of trouble and off the streets.  Jay had been a latch key kid, often on his own when he was younger and his mom didn't want him getting into trouble as he got older.

"Because there was no real 'dad' figure in  the home, family and friends often helped out to fill in as a father figure including  my Uncle Johnny," say Jones.  There were often many people willing to help Doris and her family because Doris was always helping others.  

Doris was insistent that Jay from a young age, "treat others with respect, do the right thing, and be honest. My mom would always say "watch out for Karma."

Jay would hate to ever break his mother's heart. "I want to continue to make her proud. I want to keep helping others  like she helped so many struggling  families." Jay goes on to say "it's all about love."

"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.

While Lisa was growing up, she and her family travelled  quite a bit, usually related to her father's work in New York, Texas, California and London.

One of Lisa's fondest memories of her mother was sitting down together and having tea and talking about anything and everything including boys. "You have to look at the way a guy behaves and not just what he says" her mom would say. 

Lisa always felt that her mother was completely devoted to raising her and her adopted brother Peter.  "She was always very available," recalls Lisa. 

Her parents were very different and she understood how her mom would say "opposites attract." Yet Lisa's mom was a very strong woman who guided her husband and they made important work/family related decisions together.

Lisa established a relationship with her birth mother when she was 27 years old and has a budding relationship with her step sister.

However, seeing that this podcast is about the relationship between my guest and the story of their mother, Lisa was very specific about telling the story of 'her mother,' the woman who loved her and raised her. Rosemarie  passed away in 2000 and Lisa misses her dearly.

"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.

Sara, Allison's mother, "was all about lightness, air, love, encouragement and positivity," says Allison. "She let me live my life. She never really went out of her way to advise me or critique my life, and I respect her for that." Allison continues by saying "my mother cultivated independence in her children and she encouraged us to always tell the truth." 

"Honesty and integrity"  were essential characteristics for her and her family. As Allison says "she walked the walk." However, as optimistic and lighthearted as she was, she was struggling with an unhappy and difficult husband who was an alcoholic. And as one can expect, the dad's drinking had an effect on the whole family, especially the kids.

It wasn't until Allison's mother found Al Anon, the support organization for anyone who's concerned about someone with a drinking problem, that she found her new sense of self esteem. "My mom started standing up to my dad because of all that Al Anon taught her. Eventually, my day had to change. he had to adapt to her self confidence."  Sara was a proud member of Al Anon for 35 years.

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Professor Allison and I look forward to continuing our conversation in the near future.

Professor Scott Allison has authored numerous books, including Heroes and Heroic Leadership. His other books include Reel Heroes, Conceptions of Leadership, Frontiers in Spiritual Leadership, and the Handbook of Heroism.
