HOST JACKIE TANTILLO - Building Courage Through "Courageous Conversations" With Guest Educator And Coach Elizabeth Bennett

many peopple say tht their past defines them. Others say they are determined to change who they are because of their past, and that new trajectory defines who they truly become.

Elizabeth Bennett says, “being a survivor of domestic violence, sexual abuse and bullying as a young person, has taught me that in order to succeed in life, I must be willing to do whatever it takes to heal and move forward. I have used my past as a vehicle of opportunity to flourish in the present and in the future."

 Her 35-year career in high schools as an educator, administrator, and principal and now as a student and parent coach, is helping families understand one another better, to become 'curiously engaged'  with one another with "Courageous Conversations," which happens to be the title of her latest book.  

We all know that teens have a lot going on in their bodies, minds and emotions and it's important for them to know that as parents, we're here for them. We truly are listening to them. 

Ms. Bennett is also thankful for her parents who handed down “a fiery attitude and a heart-centered desire to empower people and help them transform, so that they can live the life that they desire”! 

Her new book, Courageous Conversations, gives parents easy-to-implement strategies to create a powerful and loving relationship with their teen, without lectures, shame or guilt.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, 'are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother'? 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 getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.

Some of my guests include Baritone Singer Christopheren Nomura, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Tim Wacker, Activist Kim Miller, Freighter Sea Captain Terry Viscount, Film Production Manager Peg Robinson, Professor of Writing Montclair State University Dr. Bridget Brown, Tammy Steckler, attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter Mark Heingartner, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Maryellen Valyo Cole and Roger Evens, Property Manager in New Jersey and so many more talented and insightful women and men.

I've worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. I've interviewed so 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 my logo for "Should Have Listened To My Mother".
