About Harvey's guest:

Today’s guest, Phyllis Taylor, is a remarkable woman who reinvented herself in a most innovative and unique way, following her retirement from a 30-year career as a paralegal, technical writer and training specialist at a major law firm.   

After attending one of Oprah Winfrey’s public speaking engagements, she decided to become a volunteer in prisons, where, for the past decade, she has worked with countless male and female inmates to develop their self esteem, anger management, problem solving skills, positive thinking, and a variety of life skills and coping mechanisms to help them in the rehabilitative process.   

Her unique combination of interpersonal skills, compassion, common sense and a huge heart, made her an immensely popular and sought-after personality within the jail system, and she was even awarded “Volunteer of the Year” at one of Canada’s largest women’s prisons.   

Her experiences in the jails, and the many insights she learned not only about the correctional system, but from the prisoners she worked with, are the subject of her fascinating book entitled, “The Prison Lady:  True Stories and Life Lessons From Both Sides of the Bars”.    

This is an entertaining, moving and inspirational book full of empathy and profound perceptions about an almost totally neglected and forgotten segment of society.  Her book resonated with me on multiple levels, not only because of my 26 year career as a family and criminal court judge, but because this woman has  articulated so beautifully, the key to what it means to live a meaningful and purposeful life.  

In addition to her work in prisons and as a writer, she’s a certified life coach, mediator and motivational speaker. But in my opinion, she’s much, much more than that.  She’s a HEALER.
