My guest lived in California upon arriving in the US from the Philippines with her mom and dad and two older brothers. There definitely was a big adjustment to make culturally and that took a tole on Mayim as a young teen.
With both parents working full time, Mayim was often left to her own devices. She's very happy that her children are not exposed to the same socio-cultural conflicts. All of her nine children are home schooled.
Mayim did a complete about face when it came to her career. She used to be a computer scientist and engineer at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffet Field, CA. Now she is a Naturopathic Herbalist and founder of Arukah- the Holistic Life Academy. In other words, Mayim is someone that uses all sorts of holistic methods for healing, including diet, nutrition, orthomolecular nutrition-mega dose vitamin therapy and detoxification including toxic mindset/toxic relationships, etc.
Corazon or Cora as her mom likes to be called had a positive impact on her daughter's life regardless of the fact that she worked and worked and worked when Mayim was young.
Hope you enjoy this conversation.

"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".
