Stanice Anderson is a publicist, inspirational speaker, performance artist, author, and recovering heroin addict.  Stanice has lived through it all.  From a seemingly perfect upper- middle class home, she fell into a nightmare of endless partying, self-destructive behavior, and abusive relationships.  Unresolved pain and guilt drove her to the bottom on a death-spiral nothing seemed able to stop—until the night, while shooting drugs, a miracle happened.

Now, free from the bondage of active addiction for over twenty years, Stanice is compelled to share her inspiring story to show others they too can overcome even the most soul-destroying mistakes—and discover the lifelong assurance of peace and joy through personal relationships with God, others, and ourselves—at last; and go on to do great things. Stanice will be my special guest on Monday, Dec. 12.

“It was so nice being on your show Bev. Thanks for the insightful and great interview!” ~Jerry “The Beaver” Mathers (Aug. 29 interview)

“In every instance I have had the pleasure to work with her, in addition to being a consummate professional, Bev has authentic, engaging, generous and fun.  Whether she is teaching, training or linterviewing guests “live”, it is obvious Bev has long since mastered the medium.  It is exciting to learn from her and wonderfully hought-provoking to see the world though her professional eyes.  If you want to send your message out to the world, not in a bottle, but over the airwaves, you want an experienced radio and televisional professional like Bev to guide you.” ~Dr. Thomas Sheldon Griggs (August 22 interview)

“When I was the guest of Beverly Mahone’s The Boomer Beat Radio show, it was a wonderful experience for me.  Beverly is a great host! I felt comfortable speaking and answering her questions. She moved early to discussion of more shocking content of my book and yet made it into a non-threatening topic.  Beverly was clearly dedicated to giving her listeners some good information and she added to her own credibility during our interview. I’d be delighted to be a guest on The Boomer Beat Radio Show again. Beverly rocks!”~ Marcia Barhydt (Jan. 2012 interview)
