ReAlign with Kassandra Hamilton MH26-04.

January 26, 2026January 21, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Kassandra Hamilton, on air from January 27th

I do this work because I know what it’s like to look successful on the outside while feeling disconnected, exhausted, and unsure on the inside. After navigating burnout, grief, identity-loss, and the pressure to hold everything together, I realized that real change doesn’t come from pushing harder. Instead, it comes from listening inward and restoring safety, clarity, and self-trust in the body and nervous system. Today, I support high-achieving women who are tired of living on autopilot to reconnect with their energy, boundaries, and purpose, so they can build lives that feel as good internally as they appear externally. My message is simple but powerful: alignment is something you remember, not something you earn.

Kassandra Hamilton (known as Kazz) is an alignment coach, speaker, author, and local singer-songwriter whose work is grounded in her background in global and community health and her lived experience of burnout and reinvention. Through years working within health systems, she witnessed how burnout, over-functioning, and disconnection are often treated as individual problems rather than systemic and nervous-system realities; a perspective she shared in her recent TED-style talk. That insight became the foundation for her Inside Out Framework™, which supports sustainable wellbeing by addressing regulation, boundaries, and self-trust before performance, productivity, or purpose.

Today, Kassandra works with high-achieving women who appear capable and successful on the outside but feel depleted or misaligned on the inside. Through the Inside Out Framework™, she helps clients restore energy, reconnect with their bodies, and make aligned choices that honour both their humanity and their leadership. Her work spans private coaching, group programs, speaking engagements, and experiential healing.

Alongside her coaching practice, Kassandra is a practicing healer offering Ayurvedic head massage, bio-energy healing, and sound healing, and works weekly at Triple Moon in downtown Nanaimo. She is also a volunteer with restorative justice programs for youth, supporting accountability, repair, and reconnection. Outside of her professional work, she is a storyteller and musician who writes and performs original music, hikes with her dog, and loves learning about new cultures through travel.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 20th

I’m now three weeks into the show and already seeing a strong and consistent thread across all my conversations—optimism, belief, determination, and a shared desire for 2026 to be a year of liberation. After the heaviness of 2025, people are ready to release fear, control, and outdated “shoulds,” and return to what truly matters: heart, soul, purpose, and community. Many are recognizing that chasing status, money, or approval never brought fulfillment, and that real enrichment comes from self-accountability, inner connection, and living in alignment with who we truly are.

2026 feels like a blank canvas, an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and consciously choose compassion, gratitude, collaboration, and kindness. Change doesn’t arrive all at once; it begins with one step, one positive choice, one act of love. When we do that, individually and together, we become the light we’ve been waiting for—and that’s how we rise forward.

Reconnect yourself—heart, soul, spirit, and mind. Let the soul bring wisdom, the heart resonate with truth, the spirit ignite into action, and the mind gather what’s needed in clarity. Then you rise into a higher plane of being—where your essence leads, your light precedes you, and you become a beacon for others. The world needs you in 2026—your heart, your spirit, your mind, your beautiful beingness. Want to see peace, love, and harmony? Become it.

And if you need a simple way to begin: write down everything that feels wrong, everything that weighs on you—then take a walk in nature. Come back and write your gratitudes—every single one. Then burn the list of negatives and declare, “I am no longer feeding lack. I am feeding gratitude.” Add one gratitude every day. Do one kind act every day, however small. Watch your frequency change. Watch your life respond. Because people can try to imprison your world—but they can’t imprison you when you’re free from the inside out.

This is the way forward. One step at a time. One positive thought. One grateful breath. One act of love. And together, we rise.

“Wishful Thinking” with TSIKKI THAU. C26-03

January 19, 2026January 18, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Tsikki Thau. On air from January 20th

Stress management expert Tsikki (pronounced ‘Seekie’) Thau, author of Attract It All: The Real Secret to Manifestation, dispels the popular myths surrounding “wishful thinking” and talk about the real secret to manifestation.

This conversation explores why most manifestation tools fall short—and how to approach them in a way that truly works. Rather than asking the universe for things, it reframes manifestation as a grounded practice rooted in energy awareness and mindset, not magic. Drawing on the science behind how our thoughts, emotions, and nervous system shape our experience, the discussion offers simple breathwork and gratitude practices listeners can begin using right away. It also addresses how to set intentions and resolutions for 2026 that are realistic, embodied, and aligned—so they don’t fade by February, but genuinely take root and last.

Sharmiley D. was born in Guyana to Caribbean Indian parents in an arranged marriage. She grew up in a culture where beating children was considered normal, where discipline passed as love, and silence spoke loudest. She believed all families were like this. No one said otherwise.

For much of her life, Sharmiley tried to see the good in others, even at the cost of her own well being. Emotional neglect, punishment, and abandonment felt normal. But they weren’t.

Her healing journey led her to yoga, coaching, EFT, breath-work, trauma therapy, and spiritual practices from around the world. She draws inspiration from the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr. Peter Levine, and Franz Ruppert.

Dr. David Weill, “TELL ME I BELONG” #26-03

January 19, 2026January 18, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Dr David Weill, on air from Janaury 20th

Dr. David Weill, author of TELL ME I BELONG: A Journey Across Faiths and Generations

A heartfelt memoir about the search for religion and identity

“I’m not Jewish.” For years, that’s what David Weill told anyone who asked about his religious background. Yes, his father was a Jew who had left Nazi Germany as a boy. But his mother was a Southern Baptist. Growing up in New Orleans, religion wasn’t something his family discussed, let alone practiced. As an adult, he developed a fervent zeal, and profound devotion to his work as a specialist in organ transplants. Transplantation was all he needed to define and fulfill him—until a crisis shook him to the core.

In 2015, after the simultaneous unraveling of his carefully crafted career and the death of his father, Weill began to doubt everything, including his purpose in life. While grappling with emotional pain and sinking deeper into despair, he began to suffer perplexing physical symptoms. In his moment of crisis, he was seized by a strong desire to practice a formal religion. But for Weill, the real question was, Which religion? Eventually, he chose Catholicism and was baptized at age fifty. He found solace in heart-to-heart talks with a priest and his daughters’ happiness at having the whole family at church together. Everything was fine—until 2020, when he learned that his mother had converted to Judaism right before marrying his father. He was born a Jew. And in the eyes of the Jewish faith, he would always be Jewish. That realization sparked his second quest.

He reflects on what drew his mother, a native of Selma, Alabama, to Judaism—partly because, as she once said, Jews “always seemed like such practical people,” but more deeply as a rejection of the hypocrisy she saw in Baptist churches that preached love for all of God’s children while practicing racism. He also explores his father’s complicated relationship with being Jewish, a source of pride linked to intelligence and success, yet shadowed by a lifelong fear of ostracism and stigma. This personal history comes into sharp focus during a heart-wrenching journey to Berlin with his daughter Hannah, where he seeks out his father’s first home and confronts the inner work of defining who he is. His search deepens through a determined effort, aided by investigators, to uncover the truth about his grandfather’s imprisonment in the Buchenwald concentration camp, and the pivotal role played by his renowned relative, composer Kurt Weill, in orchestrating his family’s escape to the United States.

DAVID WEILL, MD, is the former Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Diseases and the Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center. A sought-after advisor to various transplant programs across the country, he also serves on the Board of TransMedics, a company focused on improving availability of donor organs. Dr. Weill has also served on several non-profit boards including the Tulane Medical School, Xavier University of Louisiana, SFJAZZ, the Isidore Newman School, the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) Foundation, NextGen Personal Finance, and the Bellevue Literary Review. Dr. Weill’s writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Salon, Newsweek, the Chicago Tribune, STAT, the Washington Post, The Hill, LitHub, Tablet, The Times of Israel, TODAY.com, and the Los Angeles Times. His previous books include the memoir Exhale: Hope, Healing, and Life in Transplant (2021) and a novel, All That Really Matters (2024). He lives in New Orleans.
