The log for The Story Behind Her Success podcast is 3 lines reading "The Story" in all caps on one line, Behind Her in all caps on the second line, and "Success" on a third line in all caps. The words "Story" "Her" and "Success" are a heavier weight

Official Podcast Partner

I’ve always wanted to create a partnership with a magazine that is devoted to women in every chapter of their lives. Pink Chair Storytellers Magazine and I are joining forces on a mission to spread inspiring stories around the world.

You may know me as the voice you heard coming out of your radio for 25 years on Magic 106.7 in Boston. It was a long journey from secretary to co-hosting morning drive, but I learned so much along the way. There were so many highlights, but the two that mattered most to me were hearing my own songs on the radio and the creation of the weekly “Exceptional Women” show. Interviewing women is what I love to do and I’ve continued that with the launch of the weekly podcast series: The Story Behind Her Success. So far, nearly 1000 women have shared their stories with me and I’m not stopping!  Women around the world are downloading these inspiring stories and now, I’m bringing them back to local radio with the creation of the Candy O Radio Network.  Mothers, daughters, sisters and friends all benefit from positive messages: shared wisdom, rooted in hope, love and perseverance.  My goal is to create a place where inspiration is just a click away.  Take a look around and be sure to join her Think Pink Club!

I learned that sometimes you must be your child's advocate and other times you must help them find their own way.

What’s Your Story?

At its root, storytelling is about leaving a legacy. It is about not being forgotten.

It’s a New Year, new you. Switch up your wardrobe, lose 10 pounds, try a new hair color, blah, blah, blah. Here’s a thought: This year, do what scares you.

Relationships. Are. Everything.
Relationships. Are. Everything.

Of course, relationships are the foundation of our personal lives, but they are at the core of our professional success stories, too.

You don’t have to look very far to find women doing great things for their community and the world.

I wish my mother had lived longer. I wish I knew more of her story. Marjorie died of breast cancer when I was a teenager, and that loss defined me for a long time. She had big brown eyes and chestnut hair. A real New York City girl, she had been a buyer for Saks Fifth Avenue and Bonwit Teller. Her fingers were long and her hands were soft when she turned her palm to check my forehead for a fever.
