BB24-31. Rebecca Visser Stop Burnout


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Rebecca Visser, on air from July 30th

Even from a young age, I struggled with perfectionism and tried to control every aspect of my life to get ahead. Despite achieving a seemingly “perfect career” with a good title, salary, and accolades from my bosses and peers, I felt completely unfulfilled. This relentless pursuit to “achieve” throughout my life inevitably led to severe burnout. My only choice left was to take six months off to reconnect with myself.
In retrospect, I realized I was never living in the moment, always focused on the future or berating myself for past mistakes. Through coaching and other holistic practices, I’ve witnessed the power of letting go of limiting beliefs and connecting with our inner wisdom.

By sharing my story, I aim to help others find the peace and fulfillment I discovered on my journey. The world
needs more people pursuing their unique talents, so they can reconnect with their joy and we can better face societal challenges.

BB24-31. Jamie Martin – JEM Consulting.


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Jamie Martin, on air from July 30th

My journey in leadership began through working for bosses and companies that treated their employees poorly. Witnessing this mistreatment sparked a desire to change the status quo. I immersed myself in the study of servant leadership and adapted my leadership style to prioritize serving others. This approach centers on treating my team with empathy and understanding, particularly concerning mental health. By fostering a supportive environment, I focus on encouragement and perspective rather than immediate accountability and judgment. This leadership philosophy benefits everyone in the organization, promoting a culture of respect and compassion

“People will move mountains, when they feel valued, respected and understood” 

Jamie Martin’s professional journey commenced at Starbucks, where foundational skills in customer service and operational excellence were cultivated from the ground up as a Barista. This early experience ignited Jamie’s passion for retail operations and laid the groundwork for a career marked by leadership and community advocacy.

Transitioning from Starbucks, Jamie advanced to roles at Walmart, initially serving as an Acting Store Manager and Assistant Store Manager. Here, Jamie gained extensive experience in managing large-scale operations, overseeing teams, and optimizing business processes. This tenure at Walmart provided invaluable insights into multi-unit retail management and strategic leadership.

Jamie’s career then took a pivotal turn at the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB), where Jamie excelled as a Senior Store Manager and Regional Manager. Managing operations across 20 locations within a unionized environment, Jamie not only oversaw multimillion-dollar budgets and led teams of up to 400 staff but also played a crucial role during the legalization of cannabis in British Columbia. Jamie navigated complex regulatory landscapes, developed compliance strategies aligned with the Cannabis Act, and fostered partnerships with government entities.

24-30. Its my day today


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from July 23rd

Taking a day for yourself can be incredibly rejuvenating and grounding. It’s about prioritizing your own well-being and happiness without feeling guilty about it. This time allows you to reconnect with your inner self, recalibrate your thoughts, and recharge your energy.

When you dedicate a day to yourself, you can indulge in activities that bring you joy and peace, whether it’s reading a favorite book, taking a long walk in nature, practicing yoga or meditation, or simply lounging and enjoying some quiet time. These moments of solitude and self-reflection help you regain clarity and perspective amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Moreover, being selfish in this context isn’t about neglecting responsibilities or disregarding others; it’s about recognizing that by nurturing yourself, you can ultimately be more present and effective in your relationships and commitments. It’s like filling up your own cup so that you have more to give to others.

The joy that comes from taking a day for yourself is unique—it’s a blend of contentment, relaxation, and a renewed sense of purpose. It reminds you of your own worth and the importance of self-care in maintaining overall well-being. So, embrace the opportunity to be selfish in this positive sense, and allow yourself the gift of a day focused entirely on you.

LM24-30. DeeAnn’s “Its My Time”


‘for the LOVE of Music” with Sara Troy and her guest DEEANN, on air from July 23rd

It’s My Time. In 2015, years after setting aside her larger musical dreams to dedicate herself to raising a family, multi-talented singer/songwriter, DeeAnn is back to create her legacy. Her latest album It’s My Time, currently receiving National airplay with Neal Sapper, New World n Jazz and featuring three original songs amidst a mix of folk, pop and jazz classics, is the latest manifestation of the Niagara Falls, NY native’s renewed vision of her life.  

The singer laid the foundation for her newly burgeoning career with her cleverly titled 2017 collection Desperately Seeking DeeAnn, which was produced by contemporary jazz bassist, RiShon Odel (Brian Culbertson, Najee). When her father, popular Buffalo area jazz performer Frank DiMeo, learned she was finally embracing what he felt was her destiny as a jazz singer, he was thrilled.  Though she had previously sung pop and country professionally, he was the one who introduced her as a little girl to the music of Ella Fitzgerald and his favorite, Sarah Vaughan.  

To pay tribute to her dad’s influence, DeeAnn invited him to sing two duets with her (“Unforgettable” and “Fly Me to the Moon”).  The collection also featured the blues and jazz influenced original tune, “Everybody’s Got a Story”, whose chorus served as her life’s new mission statement: “Everybody’s Got a Story/Everybody’s got a cross to bear/Everybody’s got something to say/So shine the light and spread your love.” The following year, DeeAnn was honored to be inducted into the Niagara Falls Music Hall of Fame.  

The singer soon had a painful story to tell.  The tragedy of losing her 23-year-old son William Michael Tompkins to a motorcycle accident, after she and Odel had completed most of the tracks of “It’s My Time’ threw DeeAnn’s life into a tailspin and delayed the project indefinitely.  Her original concept was to record an album of old standards, and the two had 90 percent of them.

When DeeAnn came back to the project she added a few new, very personal songs, starting with a heartrending, gospel-influenced version of “You Are My Sunshine”, a song she sang to William to put him to sleep when he was a child.  Odel’s sensitive yet rousing and inspirational production features members of the Buffalo Philharmonic String Quartet (Roman Mekhulnov).

Another original tune she added, the soulful ballad, “A Little Romance,” is a homage to the “angels” who helped her during her lowest points: “You help me pray, when my faith is shaken/You give me hope, help my soul awaken.” The other originals are the passionate love ballad “Here to Stay” and “Writing on the Wall,” a whimsical, hard hitting, brassy blues-rock breakup song, a duet with Mick Hayes that balances the poignancy of the album.  

The other tracks on It’s My Time reveal DeeAnn as a masterful song interpreter and storyteller who turns words and melodies of legendary writers and artists into her own emotional narratives.  Drawing from a wide range of styles and eras, these include “Blue Skies,” “Summertime,” “Killing Me Softly,” “My Funny Valentine,” “Nearness of You” and “Fine and Mellow.”

Hailing from a small steel town outside of Buffalo, DeeAnn was raised in a musical family, learning standards that would eventually become part of her repertoire.  In addition to the smooth vocal stylings of her father Frank, she was inspired early on by Buffalo Blue Note legend, DoDo Green and attended multiple jazz jams.  During her early days as a pop/rock singer, she won Best Female Vocalist at the Buffalo Music Awards two years in a row.  Her later success as a country artist earned her placements on numerous radio CD compilations, resulting in airplay throughout the U.S and Europe.  When she returned to music as a jazz-blues singer in the mid-2010’s, she won Best Female Blues Vocalist at the Buffalo Night Life Music Awards and her 2019 EP Stay Here won Best Jazz CD from JazzBuffalo.org. 

Tony Zambito, Executive Director of JazzBuffalo, says, “DeeAnn is not only a soulful powerhouse, but also a superb storyteller who’s emotionally charged performances create a deeply personal and wonderful listening experience for audiences.  Whether interpreting timeless classics or presenting her own originals, DeeAnn captivates listeners with her heartfelt delivery and genuine connection, making each concert and listen truly memorable.”
