Oh crap. It’s that time of year again when I am reminded in a more pronounced way that my mom has died. Most of the year, I can be offhandedly crude about losing her: Someone else: “how’s your mother?” Me: “She’s dead.” This is (obviously) a defense mechanism so I don’t have to feel (or…

Putting your daughter on a diet just might make her fatter!
I’m still bothered by that mom Dara-Lynn Weiss’ exploitive article for Vogue magazine talking about her putting her daughter on a weight loss diet at 7 years old. My mom put me on a diet when i was 8 years old. And though I am hesitant to blame her years later because I know…
Objectified, Criticized, Vilified, – I suppose this is the dark side of being beautiful…
(Also posted on the huffington post) I feel for Ashley Judd. Really I do. I’ve been there! I was teased for being overweight. A few years ago, I saw on the Internet that I’d been called Jabba the Hutt — real creative! I was made to feel Invisible because I was not a “head turner”; overlooked…
do you love me or hate me?! Seems my listeners are split! And I can learn from both.
On my show today I mentioned that Radio Sean Ryan is probably leaving to work on another show. Although this is disappointing because I adore Radio Sean Ryan, I understand the situation. He has mentioned on air that he is not financially solvent working my gig (frankly, neither am I!) And he ought to keep…
Aftershocks of the Earthquake that is @tonyrobbins
(This post is also available on Huffington Post) This past weekend I had the great fortune of going to the Tony Robbins four day seminar in Secaucus, New Jersey. I was super excited to figure out what was stopping me from achieving what I wanted: that is to make more money. I was also super excited…
Being asked to guest co-host a network tv talk show felt like my big break. Instead, I got a broken heart.
(This post is also available on huffington post) Weeks ago I was asked to guest co-host a tv talk show. My appearance was confirmed this past Friday. And canceled late this morning before tomorrow’s scheduled appearance. Reason given: “the higher ups changed their mind.” Reason heard: “the higher ups hate you”, “You’re a loser”, “You’re…
reading this blog post will make you think. and according to my friend, may make you squirm. i’m ok with that!
(this was also posted on the huffington post) my new friend best selling author (the secret lives of wives and many other books!) iris krasnow wrote yet another powerful piece about women and relationships for the huffington post. and after reading her recent post, i got to thinking… caution when contemplating the affair with the…

advice to a woman who’s in love with her married best friend.
late friday night i received an email from listener “k” saying she is in love with her best friend. ” I am profoundly in love with my best friend. She is beautiful, smart, funny, genuine, and accepting. She is unhappily married and we once had a physical intimate relationship. While I long for that again, and…
i remember whitney.
(this post can also be found on the huffington post) if you’ve read “WHATEVERLAND” or listened to my radio show, you probably already know that i grew up with a dad in the music business. i spent many a day in a recording studio, met many recording artists, vacationed with barbra streisand, spent time with…
jenny, you’ve disappointed me again. another listener takes issue with me.
listener marcia sent an email counseling me that i needn’t counsel others (ironic?!). here are the relevant parts of her email: “Jenny: I started listening to your program the first day that you started this particular format – that being without Alexis Stewart. I don’t consider myself within your demographic (I just turned 56) but…
so what if i’d like to be a milf…
today im 42. and today, along with being a successful devoted working mother and wife, i want (desperately?!) to be a milf. a milf is a “mother i’d like to eff” (different from being a cougar because a cougar wants to be effed and is the predator- a milf is the prey!) in my…

advice for a bride to be and a reminder for the rest of us.
a “bride to be” listener named karen emailed me after yesterday’s show asking for some “pre-marital” advice for sustaining a marriage. i was thrilled because the past couple of days there had been some controversy surrounding my “marital” advice. ..and by controversy i mean some people were quite agitated with my recommending to an unhappily…
