The Fifty-Eighth One... and Stacey Aaronson

Episode 58 and Wendi and Dfernando's guest interview is author, editor and publisher Stacey Aaronson.

Stacey Aaronson is the product of an exceptionally loving, accepting, and big-hearted family who have always encouraged her to be no one but her authentic self. After a twenty year career in retail leadership roles, she finally uncovered her gifts and soul’s calling in 2011 as a writer, ghostwriter, editor, book and website designer, graphics creator, and publishing partner, and has since been gleefully and gratefully involved in the full or partial production of over two hundred books. She delights in working with authors of multiple genres within her business, The Book Doctor Is In, and as a layout artist for She Writes Press.

Stacey is also author of the just-released memoir, Raising, and Losing, My Remarkable Teenage Mother, which Kirkus Reviews calls “an intimate and moving account of a singular bond,” saying “Aaronson’s approach has a disarming charm and is warmly intuitive.” IndieReader gave it five stars and describes it as “a darn good page-turner that could easily rival any riveting novel” and “a memoir worth relishing.”

Stacey has written several articles and been interviewed on various podcasts and radio shows on topics surrounding her uncommon and mystical GILMORE GIRLS–like relationship with her mom, including Creations Magazine, caregiving.com, Houston Family Magazine, Mystic Living Today, Parentology Magazine, OM Times Radio, and Good People, Cool Things, and now the GENERATION RIPE podcast - with her high school best friend Wendi McLendon-Covey!

Stacey currently lives on Whidbey Island in Washington state with her soul mate and playmate of over twenty years, Dana; their rescued Maine Coon kitty; and the many deer, squirrels, and birds that frequent their property.

Also on Episode 58, Wendi and Dfernando discuss his recent trip to South Florida visiting family, his late groovy dad Daniel, and Wendi getting ready to go back to work on Season 9 of THE GOLDBERGS and the new RENO 911! movie.
