HOST JACKIE TANTILLO - It Doesn't Matter Where You Came From, What Matters Most, Is Where You're Going" with Guest Lisa Barnett. Looking back At S2E15

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 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".
