Should Have Listened to My Mother PodcastAuthor: Jackie Tantillo
Host Jackie Tantillo is proud to announce that "Should Have Listened To My Mother " has won a 2024 People's Choice Podcast Award for best podcast in the Society and Culture Category. SHLTMM is also a 2024 Nominee in two additional categories including, "Best Female" Hosted Podcast & "Best Podcast" in the Kids and Family category. SHLTMM is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the role they play/played in ones life. The mother/son, mother/daughter bond is unique for each of us and it is like no other. "You'll be amazed at human nature and how we can overcome our obstacles, says the podcast host. Our mother/son--mother/daughter relationship is such an integral part of who we are. What we choose to do with it, is up to us, not our mother. "Did your mom influence you by her actions or words or both? Are you who you are today because of or in spite of, your mother? What would you say to your mother if you could speak with her again today? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from others about who and/or what shaped their life. My guests, some of which share similar backgrounds, interestingly enough, had completely different outcomes in their future. Why is that? I hope you enjoy these timeless oral history recordings of the role mothers and maternal figures have played throughout society. The impact these women have on our lives is insurmountable. What the women that preceded us overcame has undeniably given us liberties and knowledge enabling us to have the bright future that we have. They opened so many doors regardless if they were in the eye of the nation or merely in the hearts of their children, and they should be given a voice. Yes hindsight is 20/20, but by sharing these stories now, we can help the next generations of mothers and give them the tools they need to stay healthy, balanced and strong for the betterment of their children and themselves.

He is a retired FBI tactical instructor, active shooter expert, counter terrorism team trainer and more. Greg is the author of the best-selling book, “Stay Safe – Security Secrets for Today‘s Dangerous World”.Considering his background and busy schedule, Greg couldn't have been more excited to share stories of his mother, Penny. All the sons loved their mom and it's a pleasure to share the stories with you.Penny was a professional ballroom dancer who competed throughout the United States with her dance partner of many years. She loved to dance so much that she'd even clean the house and dance at the same time. Family was everything to the Shaffer family, especially because of all the international traveling that they did when the kids were younger, it brought them closer together. Penny loved to cook and was famous for her 'Penny Shaffer pancakes' and fried chicken. Greg says, "it was almost like a 'Leave It To Beaver' kind of family. We are all so close and there was so much love and laughter. "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.
