What some of my guests have said...

"[Madelyn’s] deep and insightful questions allowed me to discuss topics in a multidimensional manner. As a result, we had a rich, interesting and very dynamic conversation. At the same time, Madelyn was kind, respectful, made me feel comfortable and welcomed."

Miriam Zylberglait, MD

"It was such a delight to be in conversation with Madelyn. Her genuine interest in my work and the benefits it can bring, shows her to be utterly open to all possibilities in real terms and not just as a theory. She brought out the total best in me.”

Angie Wakeman, Clown Facilitator

"Madelyn’s questions shook off cobwebs in my mind on topics that were critical to my life successes that I haven’t thought about in years – topics that are still applicable today. I hope one day for a return invitation. In the meantime, she can count me as a new listener to her show!"

Michael Hillman, Executive Director Emmitsburg News Journal
