C23-10. Carmel Ecker Everyone has habits and behaviours


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Carmel Ecker, on air from March 7th

Why do people procrastinate or please other people to their own detriment? What is it that makes some people feel the need to control everything or become so focused on winning that their relationships deteriorate?

Everyone has habits and behaviours that help us in some ways but cause problems in other ways. They are coping mechanisms we’ve developed in life that once helped us but have become an overused default that can negatively impact our success, our happiness and our relationships.

The good news is that changing these behaviours is simple. The key is to build 3 core mental muscles.

Just like exercising a physical muscle would make it stronger, exercising these 3 mental muscles helps you to overpower old, unhelpful habits and create powerful new ones. The result is called Mental Fitness.

In this episode, Life Coach Carmel Ecker will share the practical lessons from research that combines the fields of Positive Psychology, Performance Science, Neuroscience and Cognitive Behavioural Psychology with independent research by Executive Coach, Stanford lecturer and Author Shirzad Chamine, creator of the Positive Intelligence program Carmel uses in her coaching practice.

You’ll walk away with new insights into why you sometimes make unhelpful choices and how you can effectively change them with a simple daily practice.

Carmel is a life coach who focuses on helping you tame your mental gremlins.

She’s on a mission to help you untether yourself from all the “shoulds” and “can’ts” that have been holding you back. 

She knows what it’s like. For too many years, she believed she was meant for something big but every time an opportunity to shine came along, she hid. She made “safe” choices. And she failed spectacularly at living the life she didn’t really want in the first place.



By age 35, she was a divorced single parent working a job that no longer interested her. And she wondered what the heck she was supposed to do. The more she developed as a person, the more she realized the supposedly safe path she had chosen was never the one she was meant to follow. 

When she finally got tired of hearing her own complaining, she hired a coach and started taking full responsibility for the results in her life. That coach guided her from being a burned out, exhausted and bored 9-5 employee to launching her own business and dramatically improving her quality of life.

Now, as a mental fitness and life coach, she helps others change the unhelpful stories in their minds so they can perform better, feel happier and improve their relationships.

BB23-10. Sarry Ibrahim is Thinking Like a Bank.” 


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Sarry Ibrahim, on air from March 7th

Infinite Banking and how it helps business owners and real estate investors grow more wealth over time.  I help business owners and real estate investors grow safe and predictable wealth without worrying about market conditions. I also help clients protect their assets from various risks (like creditor risks).

Part of the strategy that Sarry uses involves changing your mindset when it comes to money. His motto is to ‘think like a bank’. Which is why he named his podcast “Thinking Like a Bank.” 

Sarry Ibrahim is a financial specialist, private money lender, real-estate investor and member of the Bank On Yourself Organization. He helps business owners, real estate investors, and full time employees grow safe and predictable wealth regardless of market conditions using a financial strategy that has been around for over 160 years.

He worked for companies like Allstate, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Healthspring, and Humana before founding Financial Asset Protection, a financial services firm that focuses on one sole concept; the Bank On Yourself ® concept.

23-9. Take Care of Yourself


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from February 28th

We are all in a hurry to get things done, we have intentions, agendas and we want to meet them, but it does not always go as planned. I was looking after my Grandson, then going to look after my sons house and pups and cat, while he was away. I got to see some friends, help out a bit at his restaurant, and I was meant to finish editing my memoir finally.

Well, I saw friends, walked pups, had time with my oldest daughter, then…. the internet did not work,( I needed that to finish the editing) and I got sick. I crawled through the days walking pups, seeing people, but was in bed by 4pm, flattened. A most peculiar virus, no cold, hit my chest so hacking away, no shivers, but sweeting lots, and body ache like none other, and yes, flattened.

We are in a time when nothing is normal, no colds, flu, or viruses. So we need to pay attention to our minds, and body’s when they are feeling over wart. We can not push ourselves, or ignore the signs like we used to. It is time for the stich in time, and take care of ourselves all the time.

So make sure you have that daily time to look after you, that lump of time to nurture you, time to decompress, time to stretch, time to relax. You are with you all the time, so make sure you are aiding you and your wellbeingness, and your mind body spirit and soul, will be there for you.

Over the last decade, Brad owned and operated three gym locations in Orange County, and oversaw 40+ independent personal trainers each with their unique training styles. He built a loyal following and sought-after client/trainer community culture within each of his gym locations.

Post COVID, Brad had to focus more on online training and had started his first fitness podcast called Over 40 Fitness Hacks. He wanted the show to revolve around his passion of helping the over 40 crowd fight the aging process, while still having a social life.

BB23-9. Mary Lee Gannon & Freedom is Success.


Building your business wit Sara Troy and her guest Mary Lee Gannon, on air from February 28th

My topic is relevant for anyone who wants to be respected at work, advance in their career, and prioritize well-being without being so overworked they don’t connect with the people who matter.

I went from welfare, food stamps, medical assistance, being homeless and without an automobile to quickly being a CEO of a $33 million organization.

My “Why?” is that working harder is not the only necessary strategy to advance in your career. At a certain level everyone does that. Yet really hard working and great people get passed over in their careers because they either haven’t positioned their value proposition to create measurable impact, or they sit back waiting for their merits to get noticed. I help leader advance quickly and feel satisfied.

Success is freedom. Not more hours, says Executive Coach Mary Lee Gannon. Mary Lee was a stay at home mother of four children living what looked on the outside to be the country club life yet she was in an unpalatable marriage. She filed for divorce as a leap of faith, not at all prepared for the avalanche that befell her. Within six months she and her children were homeless, without an automobile and on welfare, food stamps, and medical assistance. She quickly reinvented her life as the CEO of organizations worth up to $33 million to support her family. She helps leaders get off the treadmill to nowhere and be respected, advance in their careers and prioritize well-being with her 5 Star Leader Formula.

Mary Lee began her executive leadership quest on the heels of a divorce as a single mother of four children under seven-years-old on welfare. She committed herself to the intention that public assistance was not the way she would lead her life and realized that to support five people she didn’t have time to go back to school or work her way to the top. She freelanced as a writer and public relations consultant to feed her children while she built her toolbelt of leadership quantifiers. She assessed her signature strengths, developed her transferable skills, volunteered to showcase measurable accomplishments, built connections, and grew a sphere of influence. Her first full time role in corporate America was as a president of a hospital foundation when she had held no prior paid positions in the field. As she grew her portfolio of successes, so grew the size of the organizations she ran and her income. Today, she is the CEO of a $33 million hospital foundation and is also an executive coach whose mission is to help good people become respected leaders quickly so they can enjoy a great life with people they care about without compromising their well-being.  Success is freedom. Not more hours.
