A mothers love and her daughters mission. This is a story of rediscovering a mother's legacy, honoring her memory, and amplifying the voices of women everywhere. This post directly complements my latest episode, 2025 Kicks-Off as Dori DeCarlo Shares Love From Above with Kittie DeCarlo.
A Mother's Legacy: Rediscovering Kittie DeCarlo's Music
At the core of Word of Mom Radio lies the remarkable music of Kittie DeCarlo, my mother. Her talent, though tragically cut short by her passing in 1994, continues to resonate. For years, her music was thought to be lost to time. Then, nine years ago, a Christmas miracle unfolded. We unearthed five songs she recorded with the legendary Les Paul. These rediscovered treasures ignited a passion within me, a desire to share my mother's unique voice and musical gift with the world. It was a profound experience, unearthing a part of her legacy that I never thought I would have the opportunity to share. The feeling of finding her music was nothing short of magical, a feeling I know many can relate to when finding lost treasures of loved ones. Her music is not merely a collection of songs; it's a testament to her spirit, her artistry, and her enduring legacy. It’s a part of her that I want to keep alive and share with the world.
More Than Just a Podcast
The journey of creating this podcast has been one of unexpected blessings. What started as a deeply personal mission of giving Mompreneurs like myself has blossomed into a community of supportive listeners and inspiring guests. I never anticipated the extent to which this project would impact my life and the lives of others. The feedback we receive is incredibly heart-warming and validating, helping to cement my belief in this venture.
My brother once questioned my motivation, asking, “What’s in it for you?” His question, though seemingly simple, forced me to reflect on the true purpose of my endeavors. The answer, of course, is multifaceted. While the initial impetus was deeply personal, the ongoing mission has expanded to encompass a far wider purpose. It’s about giving back, about supporting other women, and about creating a community where voices can be heard and stories can be shared. It’s a journey of paying tribute to my mother while simultaneously empowering countless others.
The Power of Sharing Stories: Amplifying Women's Voices
Beyond my mother's music, Word of Mom Radio is dedicated to amplifying the voices of women from all walks of life. We provide a platform for women to share their experiences, their wisdom, and their stories. The podcast isn’t solely about entertainment; it's about fostering connection, empathy, and understanding. Each interview is a unique tapestry woven with threads of courage, resilience, and inspiration. These stories serve as a reminder of the strength and perseverance of the women who grace our airwaves. The platform has given me the privilege of connecting with women from across various backgrounds, united by their unique experiences and their eagerness to share their wisdom and lessons learned.
We've interviewed hundreds of women, each with a unique narrative to tell. These conversations illuminate the challenges, triumphs, and complexities of the female experience, offering listeners a diverse and relatable perspective. We aim to create a space where authenticity is celebrated, vulnerability is embraced, and women feel empowered to share their truth. Every story shared serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, reminding listeners that they are not alone in their journeys.
