The Freeman Files Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-freeman-files On October 19, 2023, in her mother Fran Weintraub’s home in Walnut Creek, Dena Freeman sat down for a conversation that gently traces the arc of a life—both the one she’s lived and the one she’s passed on. Fran was present throughout the interview, adding her own voice, memories, and perspective to the conversation. Together, Dena and Fran reflect on motherhood, family, and the evolving bond between parent and child as time reshapes both roles. Dena speaks candidly about raising her three daughters, her career, and the seasons of her life, while Fran’s presence brings depth, warmth, and a sense of continuity across generations. Guided by interviewer Ashley Adamson, this conversation isn’t focused on achievements or milestones as much as it is on connection—how love is expressed, how values are modeled, and how relationships grow richer when we pause long enough to listen. This recording is part of the Tamber archive—a preserved moment in time, created to be revisited, shared, and held by family for years to come. © 2026 Tamber, LLC 1751fde2-b448-5e44-8f4e-0730226f6fc2 yes en Mon, 02 Feb 2026 14:20:43 -0800 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 14:21:31 -0800 https://img.transistorcdn.com/qobgk2yKoFTLmt9UhFYtG4JGRbc_nttRFEynPA1FwWM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85ZGRh/ZmJmNjc1ZDUxNzY4/NzViZWMyZTZiYTEw/MDdmNy5wbmc.jpg The Freeman Files episodic Tamber, LLC On October 19, 2023, in her mother Fran Weintraub’s home in Walnut Creek, Dena Freeman sat down for a conversation that gently traces the arc of a life—both the one she’s lived and the one she’s passed on.
