Jacqueline GumJoyRadio was honored to host  Jacqueline Gum , author of Confessions of a Corporate Slut, on March 7, 2012. Jacqueline discussed her  profound and enlightening novel. She spoke about how woman’s role in marriage has been in a state of evolution since the beginning of time. In the 70′s and 80′s most women were stay-at-home moms. Then the feminist movement came along and there was a segment of women who blended the old with the new and became “professional” corporate wives. But was it worth the price they had to pay in the end – giving up their  passion and relinquishing their power, all for the price of love?

Listen to Jacquie’s  interview as she speaks about the common themes of her novel – love, broken dreams, courage, and renewal.  Confessions of a Corporate Slut is a must read!

Thank you, Jacqueline for being a guest on the show. JoyRadio is looking forward to having you back to discuss your upcoming novel, The Accuser’s Burden.

Two Tiny Hands  is a Virginia based nonprofit providing support to families nationwide who have lost a child – miscarriage, SIDS, stillbirth and various other diseases, yet they are committed to helping all families who lost a child.

What do they offer to grieving families who have experienced the unimaginable? Families have access to grieving resources via their website or through their loaning library. Siblings are given care packages: stuffed animal, blanket, and a book, “Little Life, Big Life, ” bringing comfort to their bodies and souls.  Parents receive a photo memorial of their child in canvas print by providing the foundation with an emailed picture.

What a pleasure it was to interview four wonderful, inspirational women (Merissa, Leslie, Lindsey, and Karen) today on Joy Radio.  All these ladies, families and friends, have been touched by Two Tiny Hand’s generosity, kindness, selfless hearts and loving services. It was obvious after speaking to today’s guests that Two Tiny Hands was there for them or their loved one when they forgot how to fly?
