As a mom, Michele earned one of the greatest compliments any parent could ever receive about their parenting. It was from Gerald B. Whitman, MD in Beverly Hills. Dr. Whitman is a board-certified pediatrician with over 49 years of experience as a pediatric specialist, and in addition to many more additional accolades, he was the former Clinical Chief of Pediatrics at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California (“Cedars”). He continues as a pediatric primary board expert at Cedars. His direct compliment to Michele in 2014 was something his nursing staff had never heard him say before.

Michele’s advice called “brilliant!” by Bill Handel, a Southern California well-known and respected radio talk show host and attorney at KFI 640 AM radio station in Burbank, California on December 10, 2012. KFI 640AM Program Director Robin Bertolucci had sent Michele an email with this message:

“I just mentioned your idea to Handel and he thought it was brilliant! We’re on it. Thank you for the excellent suggestion!”
