Sisterhood of Common Sense Love with Sara Troy and her guest Melissa Heathers, on air from April 21st
Author & Executive Producer of The Book Crawl
“At the heart of my work is a deep belief that every story holds power, and that authors are not just writers, but thought leaders whose voices deserve to be seen and heard. Through The Book Crawl, I’ve created a platform that brings those voices to life—bridging the gap between the written word and media visibility. My focus is on helping authors step beyond the page and into spaces where their stories can create real impact, connection, and influence. This work is for the writers who have something meaningful to say but need the platform to amplify it, and my message is simple: your story matters, your voice carries weight, and when given the right stage, it can shape lives far beyond what you ever imagined.”
Melissa Heathers is an author, media visionary, and Executive Producer and Host of The Book Crawl, a television and podcast platform that elevates authors as thought leaders. Through her work, she bridges storytelling with media visibility, helping writers bring their voices beyond the page and into meaningful conversations that inspire connection, influence, and lasting impact.

Sara’s View of Life, with Sara Troy, on air from April 21st.
In my thirties, life wasn’t something I was simply living—it was something I was holding together. On the outside, it looked like I was doing it all: raising my now 3 children, building businesses, clothing shop called Tabytha’s Wear Unusual, creating opportunities, moving between places, traveling back into England and the States. There was movement, there was momentum, there was creation. But beneath it all… there was a constant stretching of self.
This was the decade where two more children came into my life, Tyler and Natasha, Tabytha was born in my 20’s, and motherhood became not just a role, but a full immersion. My heart expanded, yes—but so did the responsibility. There was no pause button. No time to sit and ask, “How am I doing?” because life demanded that I keep going, keep providing, keep showing up.
Opening the dress store was an expression of something inside me that needed to come alive. It wasn’t just about fashion—it was about identity, about helping people feel seen, feel confident, feel something more in themselves. But behind the scenes, it was long hours, financial pressure, constant problem-solving, like a robbery that took all my stock. Then came the restaurant—another leap, another layer of responsibility. Feeding people, serving people, managing people… all while still being a mother first.
And that’s where the real story sits.
Because no matter what I built out there, I was always being pulled in here—home, children, needs, emotions. I was living in that constant tension between nurturing others and trying not to lose myself in the process. There were moments of exhaustion so deep that I didn’t even recognize it as exhaustion anymore—it just became normal.
There were questions… quiet ones… that didn’t always have space to be heard.
“Who am I in all of this?” “Where do I fit in my own life?” “Is this what it’s meant to be?”
“am I here only to serves others at my cost”?
But you don’t stop. Not when you have children. Not when people rely on you. So you keep going. You adapt. You become stronger—not because you choose to, but because you have to, and because your children were worth it.
And yet… within all that pressure, something else was happening.
I was learning resilience—not the kind that looks strong on the outside, but the kind that keeps you going when you feel like you’re falling apart inside. I was learning how to navigate people, how to read energy, how to respond, how to hold space—even when I didn’t know that’s what I was doing at the time.
I was also learning that doing everything… doesn’t mean you are fulfilled.
This decade taught me capability. It taught me endurance. It taught me how much I could carry. But it also quietly showed me the cracks—the places where I had abandoned myself in order to keep everything else afloat.
And that… is the deeper truth of my thirties.
It wasn’t just about raising children or trying to run a businesses or moving through life—it was about slowly realizing that somewhere in all of that doing… I had lost connection with me.
This one… this carries weight This is the “I held it all together… but at what cost?” decade.
And that realization… would become the doorway to the next decade.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Ashley Huegi, on air from April 21st.
Keynote Speaker | Founder, The AND Life™ | Vice President of Growth & Impact, GoBundance Women
My “why” was born from burnout. I followed the rules, built success, and checked the boxes— yet felt disconnected from myself, my family, and the life I was working so hard to build. Through that breaking point, I discovered that success without alignment quietly erodes our joy, health, and sense of self. Today, my purpose is to help women remember who they are beneath the hustle, reconnect with what truly matters, and build lives and businesses that feel grounded, meaningful, and whole. I believe women were never meant to choose between ambition and presence—we were built for both.
Ashley Huegi is a keynote speaker, founder of The AND Life™, and Vice President of Growth & Impact at GoBundance Women. A mom of two, she helps ambitious women scale businesses without sacrificing their health, families, or identity. After experiencing burnout firsthand, Ashley now teaches an alignment-first approach to success—guiding women to grow with clarity, resilience, and purpose while creating a legacy they’re proud to live and pass on.

Raising Our Gifted Childrenwith Sara Troy and her guest Dr. Susan L. Blumberg, Ph,D. On air from April April 14th
I help families go from chaos and conflict to mutual trust, respect and connection, and help teens become the successful, independent adults they are meant to be. I help all teens, but love working with neurodivergent and twice exceptional teens.
I also specialize in working with youth and adults with Nonverbal Learning Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I am passionate about helping people reach their goals. For over thirty years, my goal has been to help children, adolescents, adults, and families to overcome stress, anxiety, depression and other obstacles to find joy and success in their own lives. Why? Because working with families and individuals to achieve their life goals is my goal in life! I find great satisfaction in supporting my clients through their tough times, in helping them think through issues, and in resolving emotional and behavioral problems.
I’m a married mother of two young adult, twice-exceptional children. I’ve lived in Colorado for over 40 years, but I still think of myself as a New Yorker!
My background in cognitive behavioral therapy informs my work as a life coach, as I help people set goals, plan their journey, and achieve success. I worked as a licensed clinical psychologist for over 20 years, in mental health agencies, in private practice, and for the federal government overseeing child welfare and adoption services in the Rocky Mountain region. This has given me a solid and varied background, and extensive level of experience.
Working as a special education advocate for 40 years means I have honed my skills as a negotiator, my ability to collaborate, and my understanding of being a team member. I always put your child first. I have training from the Arc, Wrightslaw, and I was a member of COPAA, the Council Of Parent Attorneys and Advocates. I have sat on both sides of the IEP table, as a professional and a parent, which gives me an unique perspective. Though I am not currrently taking new clients, I am available for consultation as needed.
I am also the coauthor of multiple books, including Fighting for Your Marriage (2010, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg), 12 Hours to a Great Marriage (2003, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg) and Parenting a Child with Sensory Processing Disorder: a family guide to understanding and supporting your sensory-sensitive child (2006, Auer & Blumberg).

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy. On air from April 14th
When the Mind, Body, and Processing All Speak at Once
ADHD, Fibromyalgia & Dyslexia — Different Expressions, Shared Sensitivity
We often look at conditions like ADHD, Fibromyalgia, and Dyslexia as separate challenges… but when we step back, we begin to see a deeper thread connecting them.
This is not about dysfunction. This is about a system that processes the world differently—more intensely, more deeply, and often all at once.
A Highly Responsive System
At the core of all three is a kind of heightened responsiveness:
ADHD the mind moves quickly, absorbing and reacting to multiple streams at once
Fibromyalgia the body amplifies sensations, especially pain and fatigue
Dyslexia the brain processes language and symbols in a non-linear, often more visual or intuitive way
Different expressions… same root: the system is taking in more than it can easily organize.
Fibromyalgia deep body awareness, empathy, sensitivity to others
Dyslexia visual thinking, problem-solving, storytelling, seeing patterns others miss
These are not small gifts. They are different intelligences.
What Support Truly Looks Like
Not fixing. Not forcing. Not comparing.
But:
Slowing things down
Allowing different ways of processing
Honouring rest without guilt
Creating calm, low-pressure environments
Speaking with encouragement instead of correction
And most of all: being seen without judgment
What It Feels Like (Bring Them Inside the Experience)
“Imagine your mind moving faster than you can organize… your body feeling more than it can process… and words not always landing the way you intend them to.
You are trying… deeply trying…but the world is moving in a rhythm that doesn’t match yours.”
Shift from judgment to empathy.
The Invisible Effort
People don’t often see how much effort it takes.
“What may look like distraction, fatigue, or confusion from the outside… is often someone working twice as hard just to stay present, to stay engaged, to stay understood.”
Reframe the narrative from “not trying” to “trying beyond what you see.”
The Masking Layer
Many people with ADHD, Fibromyalgia, and Dyslexia learn to mask:
pretending to keep up
hiding confusion
pushing through pain
overcompensating
“Sometimes the strongest people you meet… are the ones quietly holding it all together, so no one sees where they’re struggling.”
Language Matters (How We Speak to Them)
Instead of:
“Why can’t you just focus?”
“You need to try harder.”
Offer:
“How can I support you?”
“Take your time.”
“You don’t have to rush here.”
That shift alone can change someone’s entire nervous system response.
A Reframe
This fits with our “knowingness” philosophy:
“This isn’t a lack of ability…it’s a different wiring of brilliance.
When we stop forcing people into one way of functioning, we begin to see the depth of what they truly bring.”
A Closing Invitation
End it in your signature way inviting awareness and action:
“So today, I invite you to pause… to listen a little deeper… to offer a little more grace to others, and perhaps to yourself.
Because understanding isn’t about knowing everything… it’s about being willing to care.”
A Reflection
What if nothing about this is wrong… just different?
What if the mind, the body, and the way of learning are all asking for the same thing:
Space to breathe Permission to move at their own rhythm Understanding instead of expectation
Because when that happens…what once felt like struggle can begin to feel like self-awareness, alignment, and even wisdom.
