Mrs. Santa Says 2025
Dec 2400:23:22Tap to summarizeMrs. Santa Says When I was growing up, I was that girl who was always singing into her hairbrush! -Candy O’Terry Welcome to the holiday edition of The Story Behind Her Success! For the next 23 minutes, I’ll share listener emails as well as three of the holiday songs I’ve recorded over the years. Whenever I interview a woman, I always ask her if she knew what she wanted to do with her life. For me, the answer to that question is simple: I just wanted to be a singer. My radio career was directly related to wanting to be around the music. If I wasn’t singing my favorite songs, at least I was hearing them on the radio and talking about them with listeners, LIVE on the air. As you may know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and completed my treatment in 2024. Hearing the words “you have breast cancer” turned my world upside down, reminding me about gratitude and the power of love. This past year, I took a leap of faith and started releasing new music. My fingers are crossed that if you like the songs you hear in this holiday episode, you’ll take a listen to my other songs wherever you get your music. Thank you for listening to The Story Behind Her Success. Every woman I’ve profiled shares her wisdom and leads by example. If she can do it, you can do it. #womensupportingwomen #singer #Christmas2025 #grateful #radio

Mar 18, 2019Tap to summarizeWelcome to the success story of Denise Hajjar, one of Boston’s most loved and respected fashion designers. The grandchild of a designer from Syria and a pattern maker from Lebanon, Denise started making clothes for her Barbie Dolls when she was a little girl. By the time she was ready to go to fashion design school, she had an entire wardrobe created for herself and for her mother. Known for her generosity toward non-profits, Denise has made giving back a cornerstone of her business with a focus on raising lifesaving funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In this very candid interview, she shares her lifelong love of ballet and ballroom dancing, along with stories of the good times and the bad, like her decision early in her career to buy fabric instead of paying her electric bill! “I’m driven, I’m stubborn and I’m tenacious,” says Denise. “I will always do what it takes to make things happen.” @denisehajjarboston #storybehindhersuccess #16LifeLessons #mydoveproductions
