Meet the Happy Meemaw

Meet Jeron Hayes, the heart and voice behind The Happy Meemaw - creator, podcast host, and community builder passionate about sharing joy, wisdom, and real-life stories
that connect generations.

Welcome to my new community!  As the Happy Meemaw, I am excited to share insights on some of my favorite interests.  Writing has always been one of my favorite things.  Over the years, writing changed from a hobby to a part of my career.  Now that I’m retired, I look forward to writing and sharing with those interested in reading my thoughts and interacting with my site.

 

Here’s a little about me:

  • I’ve been married for nearly 41 happy years, 20 of those spent as a Navy wife

  • I am a Die Hard St. Louis Cardinals fan – I bleed Cardinal red

  • I’m an avid reader and love participating in challenges and book clubs

  • I love all kinds of music, with rock music my favorite; I do love dabbling in other genres as well

  • I love to cook and entertain – I am a semi-homemade cook at best

  • I love watching all kinds of sports and I love live music

 

After 20 years working lots of different jobs, followed by a 20-year career with the US government as a public affairs officer, I’ve met so many people of all walks of life and love interviewing people to tell a story.  My retirement project is to create a podcast that shines a light on lots of interesting topics – some fun and some serious – and telling the stories of family, friends and community members.

 

The Happy Meemaw will be my happy place to talk about my interests, tell some stories, and make new friends.

Jeron
