SHARON MALLON BIOGRAPHY

Sharon Mallon is an award-winning Radio Broadcaster. During her accomplished 35-year career she worked as a Reporter, News Director, Talk Show Host, Em-cee and Morning Show Co-Host. She interviewed high-level politicians, authors, sports stars and some of the most famous entertainers on the planet.

She broadcast live from cities across Canada and the United States to Abbey Road Studio in London, England.  Sharon Mallon delivered ‘reality radio’ long before ‘reality TV’ took over television. For decades she regaled radio audiences with stories of life.  She is still regarded today as one of the most skilled and engaging storytellers ever on Edmonton radio.

Just as she was about to retire, she suffered a personal, publicly humiliating blow.  It was debilitating. She’d been blindsided.  She was inconsolable. Sharon Mallon was so profoundly affected by heartbreak, she wrote a book called ‘The Gift of Adultery’.  Within months over 2000 copies were sold.

Only one year after suffering this personal tragedy, she was diagnosed with a form of blood cancer which would eventually become a terminal illness.  Five years later, Doctors believe it was that disease which caused her to lose ‘permanent sight’ in her right eye.

Upon learning she’d been diagnosed with Blood Cancer, Sharon Mallon opted to make the most of her time.  She travelled the world and joined four Boards in Edmonton; The Edmonton Police Foundation, Compassion House, Pilgrims Hospice Society and Events Edmonton.  She also volunteered as a Patient Visitor at the Cross Cancer Institute.

Today, after a life-saving Bone Marrow Transplant in 2021 and years of painstaking, anguishing mental work, Sharon Mallon is healthier than she has ever been, both physically AND mentally.  Doctors have stated her recovery from the transplant is in the top 5 percentile.  Among other things, medical staff have credited her attitude for her remarkable comeback.

Sharon Mallon has blogged about her post-retirement journey on FACEBOOK. She has a following of several thousand who regularly recognize her for inspiring, motivating and encouraging them.

Her story of how she survived heartbreak AND cancer is a powerful tale of how one can overcome adversity. She explains how gratitude is the cornerstone of her well-being.  Most importantly, Sharon Mallon details her tools for recovery and the lessons learned.  These are skill sets which are literally available to every one of us. Her message is especially powerful and moving, based solely on experience. She has ‘walked the walk’.

Who would benefit from hearing Sharon Mallon speak?  Literally, ANYONE who is struggling!  Anyone who is experiencing grief, loss, fear, adversity, unforeseen circumstances, self-doubt, or lack of motivation and for anyone who needs….hope.

Danny Hooper: Sharon Mallon retires from CFCW

Edmonton Sun

The rough and rugged road to recovery Friday was a big day for Sharon Mallon, my friend and former co-host of the CFCW Morning Show. Shortly before 9 a.m. she bid a final farewell to her faithful listeners, and ended a broadcast career that has spanned more than three decades. Sharon and I worked together at CFCW for seven years, and over that time we became the closest of friends. I guess that's bound to happen when you're both cut from the same bolt of cloth and have a full three hours to visit each weekday morning. There would be very little that we don't know about other. Raised on a family farm in the northeastern community of St. Brides, Sharon developed an early interest in...

  • In this presentation Sharon Mallon will explain how we can experience extraordinary growth during periods of adversity; that it is in fact during challenging times, we are presented with our greatest opportunities to develop resiliency, strength and courage. Her story tells of how she suffered three life-altering tragedies; all back to back.  Her story will surprise many to know that emotional pain is as, and in some cases, more destructive than physical pain.

    Sharon Mallon also shares very personal details of her journey from the depths of despair to how she lives her life today.  Her description of the devastation she felt is so explicit, it has brought audience members to tears.  Why?  Her story is so relatable, so relevant, so timely and so engaging, it can’t help but illicit the rawest of emotions.  It’s how she recovered though that is the ‘jewel’ in this message.  Her never give up attitude, her determination to plow through the pain, and ultimately her ability to ‘let go’ will leave audiences believing that if ‘she can do it, they too can do it’.
