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 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".
