Ep. 84 of Conversations with Iris podcast has Iris sitting down with Hillay Momberger Powers. Hilary been in recovery since 1983, been a mentor, writer and public speaker in recovery for over forty years.

In the early 90’s, Hilary worked as the program manager for the first sober living house for women alcoholics in the United States. This program, which later came to be known as Promises, was instrumental in establishing the after care for the recovering alcoholic.

For over 30 years Hilary has worked with hundreds of women whose lives had been devastated by alcohol and drug addiction and guided them through various stages of their growth.

As a child Hilar was a well-known actress, voicing the character of Sally in many of the Charlie Brown cartoons, blessed to have worked with Charles Schulz and Bill Mendelson.

Hilary's passion is for discussing alcoholism, family dynamics, mindset changes, ego, ways of changing ones character, healing trauma wounds, and using scars to thrive not survive. Hilary has provided guidance towards the love within, freedom from emotional bondage, procrastination, toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, and helping people to avoid "sitting in your sh..t”

Hilary will soon be publishing my memoir, "Good Grief-Hollywood Ate My Childhood", which chronicles her harrowing journey from self-destruction to redemption.
Hilary has also written two Children’s Books, “Zack the Yak” and “Zack and Tack Are Back”.

Ep. 82 of Conversations with Iris podcast has Iris sitting down with Dr. Eugene Manley. Dr. Manley is a cancer scientist, health equity leader, and longtime patient advocate working at the intersection of biomedical sciences, cancer care, AI ethics, and leadership. As a Black healthcare advocate and founder of a nonprofit focused on cancer health equity, I run an annual lung cancer summit that brings together patients, clinicians, researchers, and industry to co-create solutions to disparities in screening, diagnosis, and treatment. I’ve seen firsthand how algorithms, technology, and clinical systems can either deepen disparities or finally start to close them. On your podcast, I share real stories from communities who’ve been overlooked in cancer care and break down complex ideas about AI, health equity, and oncology into clear, actionable insights. If your audience cares about cancer, technology, and what it actually takes to build a fair healthcare system, I help them understand both the promise and the pitfalls—and what we can do differently.
