Should Have Listened to My Mother Podcast

De: Jackie Tantillo
  • Resumen

  • 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.

  • Within Chaos, She Brings Inner Calm and Peace with Guest Pianist and Co-Founder of MuseFlow, Patrick Boylan
    Apr 29 2025
    Patrick shares stories of his mother and her ability to light up a room whenever she walks in. "She's always herself," beams Patrick. Patrick attributes, her sense of humor to her brothers and he says "she's a little butch, not too feminine." And all of that and more makes him love his mother even more. "She unadulterated herself. She never code switches or changes her behavior depending on the crowd. She always her most authentic self."Eight years of piano lessons was tough for Patrick. He didn't like the repetitive method that his teacher was using and he was bored. His mom eventually had to ground him for not practicing. But that's when he started exploring with little chunks, the melodies, the notes, breaking things down, playing them backwards and forwards until he absolutely fell in love with playing the piano. Patrick claims that his mom "gave him that space to be able to do that and what a privilege." He also admits that his ADHD was most likely a big part of the problem and today, finds great relief by taking a prescribed medication. Patrick's philosophy "even though life around you is chaos, you can still find an inner calm/inner peace, and my mom has that in spades. She can re-infect a room with her vibrancy so easily.She walks into a room and it lights up.""My mother knows that she's infectious around everybody else and so she's able to kind of manipulate that too to better suit the environment a little bit. She thinks everyone should be themselves, most authentically all the time.Below is the first first email response that I got from Patrick having asked if he'd be interested in joining me on SHLTMM."Hey Jackie. Thanks for reaching out! I love this concept for a podcast. My story fits perfectly for this since she’s been a freelance true crime documentary writer for decades and she allowed me to feel confident in that space, just seeing her succeed and talking about the struggles in that space. I had a good role model. And also… she was the one who grounded me if I didn’t practice piano lol, and now I’m a professional pianist so… I owe it to her for a lot of who I am today 😊 I’d love to be one of your guests. Let me know next steps! Talk soon"!Patrick'sBio:Patrick Boylan is a skilled multi-instrumentalist with a deep passion for self-education. Despite eight years of traditional piano lessons, Patrick found the repetitive nature of practicing the same pieces uninspiring. Like many music students, he struggled with the conventional approach. However, when his teacher retired, Patrick began exploring his parents' sheet music on his own, selecting phrases he enjoyed and improvising around them. This self-directed experimentation not only reignited his interest in music but also led him to uncover the foundational elements of musical theater.Today, Patrick can sight-read virtually any musical theater composition. His experience with traditional music education, combined with his innovative spirit, inspired him to co-found MuseFlow, a cutting-edge music edtech startup often referred to as "The Duolingo of Music Education."MuseFlow revolutionizes music learning by emphasizing the development of bite-sized skills through sight-reading—enabling students to read and play music at first sight—rather than relying on repetitive practice. After students master a new skill through sight-reading, they can apply that skill to songs that get unlocked. This approach to skill-acquisition makes learning music more engaging, effective, and rewarding compared to traditional methods.The platform is customizable to each student's preferred learning pace and skill level, allowing the user to adjust the tempo and complexity of the music, ensuring that they remain challenged but not overwhelmed. MuseFlow’s unique method involves students playing levels designed to teach specific skills, such as new notes, rhythms, or time signatures. The system generates novel sheet music, focusing initially on the new concept in isolation, and gradually integrating it with their existing knowledge throughout the level. Students continue practicing until they achieve a 95% accuracy rate over four consecutive phrases, at which point they have mastered the new skill.Patrick has been featured on podcasts such as Mystery Team Inc.'s "The Biggest Thing In The Universe," where he shares his insights on the future of learning, edtech, and underappreciated Sondheim musicals. He is passionate about educating audiences on self-teaching sight- reading and guiding parents and teachers on how to leverage MuseFlow to help students achieve a flow state, enabling them to master a new instrument with greater accuracy and enjoyment.

  • She Made me Feel Loved, Protected and Secure with Guest Award-Winning Children's Book Author Gramps Jeffrey. Looking Back at S3E12
    Apr 22 2025
    SHLTMM CAN NOW BE HEARD ON YOUTUBE:YOUTUBE CHANNEL LINK: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoUWxgQECqrMqI1ylVH9DpwAs I mention in the introduction of my show, Gramps Jeffrey, I believe is the first grandfather I've interviewed on SHLTMM, so that's pretty great. I was so happy to hear how engaged he is with his grandchildren.Gramps' mother's name was Faye and she really left quite an impression on him and his brother. Faye was the youngest of 3 children, with two older brothers. Growing up during the Depression and WWII, known as The Greatest Generation, was a very challenging time, "and my mother lived up to every expectation", continues Gramps. While raising her two boys, she insisted they turn off the tv and read-no if, ands or buts. "We loved our mother," says Gramps, referring to him and his brother. They grew up in a small town in Ohio, about 50 miles outside Columbus, where they were free to play outside and knew when to come home in time for dinner. He had relatives nearby as well, including lots of love and support from his grandmother and uncle.Gramps brags, "mom always had a positive attitude. Her glass was always half full and she was always looking at the 'bright side of life." That philosophy and her passion of reading certainly influenced Gramps and his interest in writing. It's clearly stayed with him even today because he continues to write and read to his 6 grandchildren."Mom would remind us regularly that we were very fortunate and had a good life, but that we can't forget other people. This world is hard and she knew it," remarks Gramps. Faye had learned many life lessons from her paternal grandmother who lost her husband suddenly when he was only 49. She was left to raise her children on her own, including Fay's dad. She also raised her nephew who had also lost his parents. But her grandmother was always smiling regardless of her hardships.Gramps Jeffrey is very concerned about the different parenting styles today. Most concerns him most and feels is most important for every child is 'one on one attention' from the parent. Gramps feels so blessed to have had such a devoted mother, and hopes that parents still take the time to put the phone down, turn the computer off and just sit and read or spend that precious time with your children. Gramps' mom gave him such a sense of security. "We could always go home and feel secure, you felt love, you felt protected," remarks Gramps about his mom. One of his mom's favorite quotes was "when you love, you will teach others how to love."Gramps Jeffrey is truly committed to sharing this message. He's got every little child on his mind in hopes that they get all the loving that they truly deserve.Gramps Jeffrey is his pen name. His real name is Marc Joseph.

  • Controlling Me Was More Important Than Loving Me with Guest Psychotherapist and Interior Designer, Dani Gottschalk
    Apr 15 2025
    It was such a pleasure to speak with Dani. She's wonderful and has accomplished and overcome quite a bit thus far in her life. And a lot of that has to do with her mother. It took Dani many, many years to figure out what her real connection was with her mother. Was it love? Was it control? Dani was convinced it was love. Even Dani's girlfriends were convinced that she and her mother had the most special relationship and were even a bit jealous of what these two woman had- what looked like a very special bond.Dani was always there for her mother. Very protective of her, always there by her side should she need anything. If she hadn't heard from her mother within a certain amount of time, Dani would worry. If she said the wrong thing, Dani would worry.Here's a little bit of what Dani wrote to me about her relationship with her mother, prior to our recorded conversation."I'm the way i am because of her. I'm everything she wasn't and still of cuz I find her in me, her fears, her narrative, her internalized voice that speaks to me with grim predictions whenever things go really great for me.I wrote a whole book about me and my mom called "mutterseelenallein" which is a wonderful german word and means something like "lonelier than alone." Like when you find a kitten in the middle of the forest with no mum but as well as no one else around."Mutterseelenallein" was how my mom and I both felt, while she in fact was given away by her mother in 2nd world war and i had my mom always around like an emotional absent dissociated shadow that lived by my light.My mom was scared and depressed and my sole purpose was to make her happy. She was very generous when it was about sweets and bedtime but i had a massive price to pay: My self, that i had to surrender to her. She was so close that she suffocated me and at the same time she never was there.""I didnt realize till puberty when i started to become my own person what my mom couldn't handle. As long as I was an extension of herself everything was good, but by the slightest sign of separation, she started to become ugly. Emotional blackmailing, blame shifting and the sad realization that no matter what, I could never make her happy...which i tried until the day she died. Missing out to build my own family as she was my sole responsibility. She became the bitter and hateful, jealous of every move I made, every success I celebrated...she talked my victories small, told me I'm too messy or to fat..no man would ever want me."Such powerful words to describe a very complex relationship, especially for a young daughter who trusted her mother implicitly.There's so much more to this story. And the great news is that Dani has accomplished so much in her life. She says she loves her mother regardless of how hurtful she was. She a psychotherapist who's loves helping others and is able to help her patients because she is living proof that you can always turn your life around for the better.As narcissitic as Gabriel was, Dani has learner and voiced her opinion about the significance of raising our children to be able to leave home/the Mother Ship as a teen or in their young adult prime. "The bravest thing to do is teach your kids to separate."Dani uses her bold and dynamic design choices to lift her internal vibrations, to make her happy and feel alive and appreciate all of her talents regardless of how her mother tried to control her and keep her self esteem bleak. (Tinzeltowndesign)Brava Dani and I can't wait to meet you in person either in Germany or The Bohoho in South Africa.*Mutterseelenallein" is a German word meaning "utterly alone" or "completely isolated". It translates literally as "mother's souls alone," but the actual meaning is an extreme sense of loneliness, as if even one's mother has abandoned you. The phrase has a more inteFrom Goodle-Definition of "Mutterseelenallein:" "Tinzeltown, a high-concept project development and interior design firm redefining "content creator spaces."
