Pam Siegel, MPH, MFT, hails from Northern California but made Los Angeles her home after studying at UCLA. She is a licensed Marriage Family Therapist with a specialization in mindfulness training. With 48 years of marriage, a large extended family, and over two decades in private practice, Pam brings deep personal and professional insight into family dynamics. When she’s not working with clients, walking on the beach, diving into a good book, writing, or engaging in yoga and meditation, Pam is likely traveling between LA and NY to be a devoted Grammy to her five beloved grandchildren. www.pamsiegel.com

Leslie has been married for over 50 years, and is the proud mother of two sons and loving grandmother of two enchanting grandchildren. Family is her greatest treasure. She met her husband at UT Austin, and though they’ve made LA their home, their Texan roots add a special warmth to their life together.

Leslie began her career as an elementary school teacher, where she thrived on the joy of learning from her students. But, her true calling in the design world soon beckoned. After five years of teaching, she embraced her passion and has spent the last 50 years as an interior designer. Additionally, Leslie has co-authored four books, ranging from parenting to golf to grandparenting. She and Pam are gearing up to publish their second grandparenting book.
