For 33 years, Jill was a cornerstone of the Orange County community, serving as the high-profile publicist and media face of the OC Fair. In her interview, she reflects on the high-energy world of community events and how her decades spent managing public narratives eventually prepared her for a much more quiet and sacred calling in the world of death care.

    PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 323 Brandi Morey-Pols The Rowan Project

    In this episode, Brandi joins host Jeanne Pepper for a raw and necessary conversation about the reality of filicide and the "broken" status of child welfare departments. They discuss the legislative hurdles Brandi has overcome, the bipartisan support for The Rowan Act, and the importance of holding CPS directors accountable for failures in background checks and investigation protocols. It is a story of a mother’s love evolving into a protective shield for all children in the state of Michigan. This interview serves as both a tribute to Rowan—a boy who loved golf and had an infectious smile—and a call to action. Brandi explains how listeners can support lobbying efforts, become "Court Support Advocates," and help designate August 31st as Filicide Awareness Day. Her journey proves that while the system failed Rowan, his legacy is now the catalyst for a safer future for every child in danger.

    PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 320 Adam Brody Strategic Kids

    While studying at UC Irvine, Adam began teaching chess at local elementary schools, including Foothill Ranch Elementary School. What started as a collegiate endeavor quickly blossomed into a mission-driven career. He realized that chess was more than just a game; it was a vehicle for teaching critical thinking, patience, and confidence—skills especially vital for at-risk youth. This passion led to the expansion of Academic Chess and the eventual founding of Strategic Kids.

    We are joined once again by Dr Michael GIlman, a devoted father who first shared his insights on the show during episode 304, alongside autism expert Melissa Reiner. While his previous appearance touched on the medical and societal landscape of neurodiversity, this episode pulls back the curtain on the Gilman family's private world, revealing a story of extraordinary resilience in the face of overlapping crises: autism advocacy and a childhood cancer diagnosis.
