A few days ago, I had the distinct privilege of sitting down and chatting with the incomparable Tina Sloan, daytime drama legend…and now author. Tina has chronicled her life as an actress, mother, and daughter in a wonderfully charming, humorous, and poignant memoir entitled Changing Shoes.
Changing Shoes is a primer of sorts for growing old gracefully and meeting aging head on. Tina utilizes footwear as a metaphor for the different stages of life; when you are ready for a change, it’s simple, just change your shoes. From the innocence of pink Capezios to the sophistication silhouette of a pair of black Chanel pumps, Changing Shoes takes us on a sentimental journey of youth, career, motherhood, and the decline of aging…our own and our parents.
So, enjoy the conversation with two women who really love shoes…and the changing stories beneath the sole.

Really enjoyed this “Schmootzcast” Great conversation and I definitely want to read Changing Shoes now.
I love how you bring such a diverse group of strong women to the table. It was a pleasure hearing you and Tina discuss her new book and her time in the entertainment industry.
I’ve loved watching Tina since her first day on Guiding Light and I’m so happy to see all of the projects she has going on. Thanks for the great interview as always, Schmootz.
