Accomplished author, food critic, and mother of three, Julie Halpert was my guest on Soapbox Radio – recorded live today.
Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, she’s been a journalist for twenty years with articles in the New York Times , Newsweek , the Washington Post and many other publications. Halpert is currently teaching a course on environmental journalism at her alma mater, the University of Michigan (go blue!).
What’s she doing now? She’s touring the country to talk about her new book (which she co-authored with Deborah Carr, Ph.D.) and she made a stop on the Soapbox .
In the book, "Making Up With Mom," Halpert & Carr explore a range of communication challenges and offer tips from more than two dozen therapists on how to overcome them. If you’ve ever wished you could communicate more easily and effectively with your mother (or mother-in-law or your spouse or your siblings or…), you’ll love this book.

Those are certainly so great topics to cover. Certainly some I can relate to. Sounds like a great guest!
Sandy (Momisodes)s last blog post..Guest post: This Could Be a Bad Idea
Sorry, but I have to do it. GO BUCKEYES!
Thanks, Sandy! I agree. To me, it’s a book about how to bridge the gap between generations. You don’t have to have problems with your mom to enjoy the book. It’s bottom line is all about keeping lines of communication open and trying to empathize with each other (daughters & their moms or daughters and any loved ones from the older generation).
Hey, your comment gives you an automatic entry into our drawing for the autographed copy of her book.
Good luck!
