We are sisters and the co-moderators of “What’s Your Birthday?& what does it mean”. We started on Clubhouse in February 2021, setting ourselves apart with our unique perspective about family dynamics, personal relationships and career development. 

We decided to share a conversation we have been having for 25 years, with the clubhouse world. Embracing an ancient system of personality identification, we created a club room that is welcoming and very engaging.

Everyone has a birthday…and the day we are born sets our personalities. …understanding all the Birthday cards is where we start the conversation… Donna set’s the table for Jeri and asks… ”What’s your Birthday” and where are you calling from. 

Our goal is to give advice, guidance, and wisdom with light heartedness and humor.  Our club keeps growing as our new friends come back with their friends or just to listen.

You can hear us Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays on Clubhouse as co-moderators of our club “What’s Your Birthday”.

In this blog, we apply our interpretation of the cards to real life relationships, like our blog on #MelindaBillGate and our Summer Series the #RoyalQuandary.  We never know what will inspire us, so be sure to follow!!!

Who is Jeri Isaacs???
Chief Content Officer

Life in Nashville began Sept 2005

As Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, Jeri and her husband Dave Isaacs drove to Nashville to start a new chapter in their life. The moving van had all their belongings and they drove, with their dog Shadow, as they listened to the radio about the reports of Katrina…happy they decided on Nashville instead of New Orleans…they dodged the hurricane bullet.

Jeri moved to Nashville with a position at Liberty Mutual as a workers compensation claims manager. Insurance was her day job, but life in Nashville was about music. Her husband Dave Isaacs brought his talent to Nashville and quickly was seen all over Nashville… with his guitar always in hand. He became a prominent guitar instructor and spent a few years as a Professor at Tennessee State University. He fronted The Dave Isaacs Trio, Good Souls, DI3, and Medicine King while also performing as a singer/songwriter. Known in Nashville as the Nashville Guitar Guru, he has added author to his accomplishments with the release of this first book, ‘The Perpetual Beginner’.

Dave’s post pandemic CD, ‘ Choogle’ will be released October 2021.
