The Journey of Becoming: From Inner Saboteurs to Soulful Strength

There are several ways that I came to the realm of healing and helping. I have long believed that whatever has been a struggle in my life, that I have been able to overcome, has within it some knowledge or experience that can help another find their own way through their difficulty or transformation. 

The keys I have uncovered that I believe are the most significant in any life journey are: Being present to the WHEN we are living; Integrating the head and the heart; Learning how to have healthy boundaries; and Learning how to communicate that which is our truth.

 I could speak for hours about parts of self, the archetypes that are our saboteurs or champions, and the specialness of finding the true spark that makes us know without a doubt that we are meant to be here. And that, the spark, although it sounds the hardest to people, is really the simplest, because we were born with it. The rest is taught. 

For me, seeking, knowing there was more than the obvious, more than the physical world, made me a seeker – going deep early on. My own trials and tribulations, insecurities, and struggles were abundant- as was my strength.  Life, specifically early trauma, taught me strength, fear, survival, self-preservation, and the ways to move on and eventually heal. That has made me the clinician I have been. Add wisdom and a great education to that, and the tools I have to help are immense. 

Early stories of my work and the inspiration it brought are many, but later expanding the work by recognizing that I could integrate my knowledge of energy, medicine, mind/body, and an individual’s strengths as healing tools led to a more exciting and full methodology. I love to help people think outside the box, understand their early conditioning, and create the life they want to live and explore the work they are meant to do in the world.

I began as a teenage seeker. Majored in Anthropology, Art History, and Studio Art in College. I chose to go to graduate school in Art Therapy and become a licensed and board-certified art therapist because of one little boy, whom I met doing field work, who was afraid to go home because he lived on a dangerous street.

I’ve been working as a transformational coach and psychotherapist for over 40 years. I’ve worked in inpatient and outpatient psychiatry. I have a private coaching practice and a separate clinical private practice. Over the years, I  created multiple psycho educational courses for men, women, involving readings, meditations, conversation- an exciting experience for all, including me. I work extensively with couples as well as all relationships. How we communicate is key as is how we feel about ourselves and couples. I’ve studied theosophy, multiple spiritual teachings, energy modalities, and neuroscience. I have come now to be working and playing in the sacred. Because all of this work we do with each other is simply sacred.

C26-19. Tammy J. Cohen, “Text Messages To My Sons”


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Tammy J. Cohen, on air from May 12th

At the heart of it, what led to discovering my mission: Back on 3/20/20, when the world shut down, I had time to pause, reflect, and think, and I realized I was not ok and I knew I had to act. I immersed myself in programs and coursework to understand why I felt unworthy, resentful, and disengaged.  To understand why I self-sabotaged and was reactive and judgmental.  I went on a journey of discovery and realized that everything I was learning was simply not taught in school.  So I decided to start sharing all this incredible wisdom I was learning from thought leaders across generations with my sons, because I wanted it to be different for them than it was for me growing up. 

I realized that if I wanted to deepen my connection with my sons and change the relationship, I had to change the conversation and reach them where they are and where their generation is: on their cell phones.  This was the AHA moment for me to use technology differently and to commit to an unconditional practice of texting my sons a meaningful, intentional message daily.  No texting agendas, commands, reprimands, or reminders, no unsolicited advice, just an intentional message with no expectations of a response.  I knew I had to show up differently.  What I did not know was the ripple effect this practice would have on me over time.  I did not just deepen my connection with my sons; I deepened my connection to myself, and it changed me.  And this change rippled out to my family, friends, colleagues, and community.   My text messaging practice led to the publication of my book, “Text Messages To My Sons: A Guide to Using Mobile Devices to Connect and Communicate with Your Kids.

C26-10. Mary Farias & Economy Creators


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Mary Frias, on air from March 10th

I am an Economy Creator at heart, meaning that I have never fully embraced the traditional ways of earning money and having a “job.” Instead, I have followed my interests and desires and have found ways to earn money doing those things. For instance, my first job was as a gymnastics coach at 16 because I loved the sport, and I wanted to teach it to others. This was a focus for me for many years. When I wanted to combine my love of writing with the sport, I started my publishing company (IrisBlu Publishing) by writing and publishing a series of gymnastics books (called Gym Rats).

When my daughter was born, that evolved into opening a gymnastics center with my husband. As I coached and ran the programs, I felt the pull to do something even more. I was doing more than teaching gymnastics; I was teaching important life skills. But beyond that, I was teaching these kids how to believe in themselves. Because I wanted to be better so I could better serve them, I continuously looked to self-development resources to strengthen my coaching. I came across Bob Proctor, and in studying with him and his work, I realized that I had found the missing link: I found that although gymnastics was my path to get to this point, it wasn’t my destination. So in 2021, rather than rebuilding the gym after the pandemic, my husband and I decided to close it down and to go all-in as a personal and professional development consultant. Along with my new podcast and radio show, Economy Creators, I maintain my publishing company, and I use it as a way to further help my clients by publishing my own books, but also by publishing theirs, as well as spotlighting them and other economy creators on my show. I want to keep going to see where this journey takes me; I’m always listening to my intuition to guide me, following my desires.

The person behind the business is just as important as the person in the business. I believe in creating a YOU-shaped economy, one with each human being at its center. So a part of my economy, besides my businesses is that I’m a wife (husband, Marc) and mother of one daughter (Lola). I have adored horses since I was a child before I manifested my first pony, and now we own two horses now and spend every morning with them at the barn. We all eat a plant-based diet and have been for 12 years now.

C26-08. Furkhan Dandia, Reclaim Agency


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Furkhan Dandia. On air from 24th of February.

My WHY is rooted in helping people reclaim agency, meaning, and dignity amid adversity. Having lived through professional upheaval, family and legal battles, loss, and deep inner questioning, I’ve seen how easily people can become trapped in victimhood, self-deception, or systems that erode their sense of self. My work is driven by a commitment to truth, compassion, and responsibility—supporting individuals in facing their pain honestly, integrating their shadow, and reconnecting with something greater than themselves, whether that’s purpose, values, faith, or service. I believe healing is not about being rescued but about being empowered to stand upright, make conscious choices, and live with integrity, even when life is unfair.

I began my professional life in engineering and business, spending two decades in high-performance, results-driven environments where problem-solving, precision, and accountability mattered. From the outside, things looked successful, but life slowly introduced deeper tests—family conflict, loss, legal battles, faith struggles, and periods of profound uncertainty that no spreadsheet or strategy could solve. Those experiences forced me inward and reshaped how I understood resilience, suffering, and responsibility. I ultimately chose to pivot into counselling and therapeutic work, not as a departure from my past, but as an integration of it—bringing structure, discernment, and grounded compassion into spaces where people are navigating pain, identity, and meaning. Behind the profession, I’m a father, a seeker of truth, a person of faith, and someone who believes that healing happens when we are honest about our wounds, accountable for our choices, and willing to stand upright even when life is unfair.
