Information about my guest Terri Hanson Mead:

About Me

WHO THE HELL IS TERRI? Terri Hanson Mead is a tiara-wearing, champagne-drinking, midlife troublemaker on a mission to help women over 40 blow up the boxes they were told to live in. She's a former life sciences IT consultant and angel investor turned reinvention advocate, helicopter pilot, and award-winning author of Piloting Your Life.

After nearly 25 years in IT consulting for life sciences companies, Terri realized she'd been living by someone else's rules. So she changed the game, ditched the script, rewrote her story, and now helps other women do the same. She speaks truth about the messy middle of midlife including career pivots, empty nests, changing bodies, evolving relationships, and helps women reclaim their power on their own damn terms.

WHAT MAKES HER DIFFERENT (AKA WHY YOU WANT HER ON YOUR STAGE OR PODCAST)

Radical Realness: Talks openly about identity crisis, imposter syndrome, and the WTF moments of reinvention and living as a woman over 40 in a patriarchal society
Permission Slip Provider: Gives women full-body yeses to take up space, make noise, and burn the "shoulds"
Action Meets Attitude: It's not just inspiration, it's a call to DO the damn thing
Impossible-to-Categorize Credentials: Former life sciences consultant. Helicopter pilot. Angel investor. Midlife adventurer. (Try putting that in a box.)
Laugh-Out-Loud Smart: Think Brené Brown or Mel Robbins meets your funniest, most fearless friend, with receipts and a flight plan

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. 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 2018/2019, in getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal stories of their relationship with their mother, for better or worse and what they learned from that maternal relationship.

Some of my guests include Nationally and Internationally recognized authors, Journalists, Columbia University Professors, Health Practitioners, Scientists, Artists, Attorneys, Baritone Singer, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist, Activists, Freighter Sea Captain, Film Production Manager, Professor of Writing Montclair State University, Attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Property Manager, Chefs, Self Help Advocates, therapists and so many more talented and insightful women and men.

Jackie has worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. She has interviewed 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 the logo for "Should Have Listened To My Mother".
