Brandon is an author and a public speaker. However, more importantly, he is a husband and a father of 5 beautiful daughters. Natives of South Carolina, the Walden family is currently residing in Northern California. As a young man, Brandon was a talented singer-songwriter and a gifted visual artist. He dreamed of using his love of art, and desire to help people, by studying art and psychology and had desired to become an art therapist. However, upon graduating high school, Brandon found himself pursuing missions opportunities in third world countries to serve the poor and needy. This decision informed him greatly in his desire to serve the broken, but completely changed his trajectory as a young man. For many years you’d find him travelling the world looking for opportunities to serve.
 
Several years later he married his best friend, Stephanie. Years into marriage and having children Brandon began a journey of healing and therapy. As a young man, he had endured sexual abuse from the age of 6-9yrs old. This was a secret he held for over 25yrs. He soon realized the pain he was enduring was causing pain to those around him. He’s spent the past 5 years turning hurt into healing and pain into purpose. It was through this healing journey that he began to write his first children’s book called, Seeds and Trees. It’s a story about the heart and the power of words. Brandon often says it’s his personal biography cleverly disguised as a children’s book. He and his wife formed The Treasured Tree, LLC. late in 2017 as a collaborative company creating resources for parents, teachers and therapist. Brandon’s team is currently preparing a curriculum that can be used in public schools and home schools across the nation based on the concepts presented in Seeds and Trees.

C18-18 The Wisdom of Listening. Pieces of Gold from a Decade of Interviewing

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Marilyn R. Wilson. ON AIR FROM MAY 1ST

The next time you’re out in public, take a moment to look around you. Each and every person you see holds wisdom in their pockets—pieces of gold they’re accumulating as they walk their own unique life journey.

Within these pages Marilyn shares some of the many pieces of gold she has received over her decade-long career. They have been offered to her during interviews, through random encounters and while facing difficult challenges. The most important? We are each unique and exactly who we are meant to be.

Are you ready to dig for gold? All you need to do is be brave, be present in the moment and be open to the possibilities—then start a conversation.

Every life has a story and, no matter our background, we share similar hopes, dreams and fears. This book not only gives you insight into the varied lives of its subjects but, through Marilyn’s reflections, shows how we each walk a similar spiritual path.”

Robbin Whachell, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Bahamas Weekly

Marilyn shows us, through her compassionate and incisive interviews, how to grasp and link those golden moments, like sparkling prisms of light, into an animated and profound acceptance of ourselves, the people we encounter, the relationships we build, and the dreams that will set us free.”

Gabriella Contestabile, Author, Founder of Su Misura Sensory Journeys

I was reminded we are collectively all walking our own paths, but we often experience similar emotions, feelings, obstacles, challenges, triumphs, rewards, and successes. We each learn as we go and we each become wiser as time passes. This is humanity.”

RozeMerie Cuevas, Co-Founder and Designer at JAC by Jacqueline Conoir

Marilyn R. Wilson is a freelance writer and speaker with a passion for interviewing. Her career as a writer began in an unusual way, by answering a Craigslist ad. The world shifted while she conducted her first interview—she had found her passion. Since 2006, she has interviewed over a hundred and fifty people from as near as her hometown of Vancouver, Canada, and as far away as South Africa.

Whether through a random encounter on the New York subway or via a one-on-one interview with an internationally recognized artist, her goal is the same—to give wings to the unique journeys of inspiring individuals. In 2007, this goal led the author to co-launch a successful, innovative magazine focused on articles about professionals working in the fashion industry paired with photography and illustrations by local artists.

In 2015, Marilyn took her passion to a new audience with the release of her first book—Life Outside the Box—the first in a new series highlighting the journeys of real people living extraordinary and real lives.

A LITTLE FASHION AND ITS STORY

More on your host Sara Troy’s shows,

 choose-positive-living

The journey to this book is so different than my others, so not sure exactly what angle you’d like to take. Life Outside The Box took 18 months of self-doubt and hard work to become a reality. Every chapter involved 1-2 interviews, transcribing the interviews, writing and then getting approval for it by the person interviewed, my publisher and then my editor.

The Wisdom of Listening was so different. I had been struggling for over a year trying to write Life Outside the Box #2 – the second in a series – with little success. One day in a meditation circle, the desire to write The Wisdom of Listening hit me hard. It was a passion project I had on a back burner.  I thought if I just went to the computer and laid out the book, I could get back to the one I was working on.

Instead, I couldn’t stop. The first draft poured out of me like a waterfall over the next 3-1/2 weeks. It was a beautiful experience.  It still took a year to bring to launch, but I will forever be grateful that I followed my heart and allowed this book to come next.

The book title and concept – In one interview with Fine Artist Pamela Masik, she shared how her art helped her heal and that one day she realized art was a piece of gold she held in her pocket that she could share with others to help them heal. That struck me hard and I knew one day I would take all the pieces of gold interviewees shared with me, as well as wisdom I gained on my personal journey, and pass them on to others through this book.

IG 18-18 Empowered Love in the #Me2 Movement with Pam Del Franco

Igniting Our Hearts and Souls with Sara Troy and her guest Pam Del Franco, on air from May 1st 

The key to any relationship, but specifically to a partner, is to be vigilant in learning how to listen to the intuitive part of yourself. You can enter a relationship wounded; you don’t need to be all sorted out. But you do have to be willing to look at how you might be participating in bad behaviour from your partner; for example you may be suppressing your needs; putting the other person first; avoiding looking at the reality of what’s happening and being stuck in the “if only I could …he would change”. When you constantly look within yourself and ask the hard questions, you may find it easier to make choices based on your own knowing which often gets suppressed in order to make a relationship work. That’s the part of you that does know what next step to take; when to be flexible and when to stand firm; when to stay and when to walk away.

The #MeToo movement – how important is this movement and why IS IT HAPPENING NOW? 

I like to use the metaphor of a glass of water with a layer of mud on the bottom. If you’re just looking at the top it’s easy to miss all of that dirt at the bottom, but then you start to stir it up; it all mixes and muddles together and it looks like you’ll never have that clear water anymore. With time, the sediment settles back down to the bottom, and although it doesn’t actually leave the glass it has offered enough of a disturbance to acknowledge that it’s there.

The #MeToo movement is about that disturbance. Many women are coming forward speaking about things that happened to them 20 or 30 years ago. Some people comment that it was so long ago just leave it alone, what’s the point in bringing it up now. The point is that heartbreak, sadness, or fear don’t operate on the same timeline as our minds do on a day-to-day basis. Just like someone that can smell the aroma of apple pie and be immediately taken back to a time in the kitchen with their mother baking and re-experience the joy of that moment, we too can also immediately be transported back to a time where the experience made you feel scared, ashamed and alone.

The #MeToo movement is the mud at the bottom of the glass and it’s being stirred up. It’s not entirely new; we experienced similar ideology in the 1960’s but now with the power of social media, it offers a much wider platform. In that way, it’s even in more powerful because the #MeToo is easily accessible across generations of women.

Any growth in humanity is important and I hope that in my lifetime I will be able to witness that we have the ability to #RiseUp not only for women’s equality but to move beyond that and become humanity moving forward together regardless of gender.
