AK22-39. Leon Conrad’s Art of a Story

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Leon Conrad, on air from September 20th

We’ve been telling stories for thousands of years now. What can we learn about story and how it works that we don’t already know? In his book Story and Structure, Leon sheds new light on story, sounding new depths, diving deeper into the sea of story than anyone has ever gone before – and he’s here to tell the story of what he’s discovered in those unexplored depths. Most importantly, what he uncovers is a pearl of great price from the depths of that sea of story that can help us shape the way we live our life more flowingly and more harmoniously.

Leon was born in London, UK to a Polish father and Coptic Egyptian mother. He spent his formative years between the ages of 6 and 18 in Egypt in a multi-lingual environment among souks, bazaars, catacombs, markets, and a living tradition of oral storytelling straight out of the Arabian Nights.

A traditionally published author and storyteller, Leon has published extensively in journals and magazines, written theatre shows, and contributed to radio programmes. He’s an avid reader and a keen researcher who loves to find satisfactory answers to questions we don’t yet have satisfactory answers to.

As a story structure consultant, Leon works with both fiction and non-fiction writers to help people’s thoughts shine more brightly, so they communicate more clearly and their voice resonates with presence.

C22-38. Tenzin Rose Six months TO LIVE lets Travel

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Doug “Tenzin” Rose, on air from September 13th

My New book is available free. True story about a man who doctors said would die within six months but went traveling around the world instead. That was four years ago.

 Albert Einstein said, “Once you accept the universe as being something expanding into an infinite nothing which is something, wearing stripes with plaid is easy.” Doug “Ten” Rose has metaphorically worn stripes with plaid all his life. He has thirty years experience raising funds at street level for various causes, often while working under very adverse personal circumstances. He has also invented and directed charity projects involving rock stars, pro sports teams, a governor, mayors, and senators. These projects raised awareness and, in some cases, large sums of money for others. Much of this was done while Tenzin (”Ten”) himself remained homeless and panhandled for food money on the streets.

He has recently written two amazing books, Fearless Puppy on American Road and Reincarnation Through Common Sense. True to Ten’s form, all author profits from these books will be donated to sponsor Wisdom Teachers (beginning with but not exclusive to Buddhist Nuns and Monks).  Ten is a graduate of heroin addiction and death, as well as thirty-five years and over a hundred thousand miles of ground travel without ever driving a car, having a bank account, telephone, or a bill in his name. He may be the most comedic smartass as well as one of the most entertaining survivors of the hitchhiking adventurers that used to cover America’s highways. The term “crazy wisdom” is often used, but rarely meets its match the way it does in this author. Ten Rose and his work are a vibrant part of the present and future as well as an essential remnant of a vanishing breed.

“Once you accept the universe as being something expanding into an infinite nothing which is something,
wearing stripes with plaid is easy.” Albert Einstein

Paranormal/Attachment Topics-

The Ghost in the Closet- Why kids are afraid of the dark. Have now had 2 clients with real issues. 1 a ghost, other was an entity attached to a toy.

Energy (sometimes even entities, too) attached to objects:  Rings, gifts, WWII helmets, you name it. Knife hidden beneath a newly paved street. Wreaking havoc on the living. 

Keeping ourselves and our houses clean and vibrant- need to keep things clean, organized and energetically happy. Negativity breeds negativity and entities and come in and attach and deplete you of yours. Especially during COVID, we have placed TONS of negativity and fear in our home and it is being reflected back to us. 

Change in personality? New Phobia?  It makes no sense. Perhaps it’s an entity that attached. They bring their baggage with them.

Still mourning the loss of a loved one years later? Still crying when you think about them? They didn’t go to the great beyond, but actually attached to you. 

Old phobias, anxieties, beliefs that make no sense, and have nothing to do with your current life?  It’s a past life trauma that needs to be released. 

My quest for the right tools began as a young child when a childhood trauma knocked on my door.  Without the resources and support I needed (let alone identify), it took a long time to heal. I went through  my own pain, depression, frustration, and only once I found these particular tools as an adult did relief finally come my way.  And not only did the relief come but finally I had excitement for the future. Why did it take so long? 

Because I realized that after a long time in talk therapy, I started to spin my wheels. I wasn’t moving through and beyond my pain like I needed and wanted.  I also learned that I couldn’t change other people, that I had to change my own beliefs and experience.  That’s the only thing we have control over, and all that really matters, right? We want to have a better experience.  And our experience on this earth, as I have learned, is a many layered thing.

AK22-38. The Silent Count by E. A. Smiroldo

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Elizabeth A. Smiroldo, on air from September 13th

Nuclear engineer E. A. Smiroldo talks about her cli-fi (climate-change fiction) thriller The Silent Count

E. A. Smiroldo, novelist, musician and nuclear engineer. Her novel The Silent Count is a cli-fi (climate-change fiction) thriller about a young nuclear engineer who comes up with a daring plan to combat climate change, but faces unintended consequences as she fights for her family, her career, and for humanity. E.A. talks about her background in science as a nuclear engineer specializing in weapons nonproliferation, and the inspiration for this climate-change thriller.

E.A. Smiroldo, a native of Washington DC, has witnessed how politics corrupts and skews human perspectives on what’s right and wrong. E.A. says humanity is dangerously close to the brink of a real climate crisis.

  • How a nuclear weapon could indeed change weather patterns
  • How the premise of her book, The Silent Count, was inspired by a real textbook and valid science  
  • Weapons nonproliferation 
  • Climate change and is it too late? 
  • People think energy and fuel is expensive now, just wait… 
  • If countries like France can make climate headway, then the US can, too 
  • Her book is satire but in the same spirit as movies like Don’t Look Up, is a cautionary tale
  • Greenwashing – corporations and people do this to feel good but it doesn’t really help 
  • Capturing carbon from coal, and other ideas we should consider  
  • We need to make sure leaders are doing things for the betterment of the people, not for poll numbers 
  • Music and how it influenced her writing 
  • One of the main characters is a musician — E. A. infused a lot of her experiences from the gigs she played as a musician  
  • The local DC music scene — the hardcore punk scene in Washington DC were on the forefront of the straightedge movement, like her main characters 
  • The soundtrack for The Silent Count, available on YouTube 

ABOUT THE BOOK:

She’s determined to stop climate change before it’s too late…

Nuclear engineer Dara Bouldin’s life is a mess. She’s paying off her dad’s gambling debts, reeling from a broken engagement, and practically invisible at the energy research agency where she works. Meanwhile, her ex Jericho’s latest single is racing up the charts and her handsome new colleague Dmitri is friendly with everyone but her. All around them, wildfires, floods, and other natural disasters have become the norm. But Dara has an audacious plan to reverse climate change, if only someone would listen.

Little does she know, someone at the CIA has been paying attention. And when the public demands action, Dara gets the chance to turn her dream into reality, with the blessings of Congress and the President. Things are looking up. That is until she discovers a secret that thrusts her into the center of a global conflict that could rewrite history, in dire ways she never intended. Things are going to change, big time. And the countdown has already begun. Be careful what you wish for, Dara.
