Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Jennifer Fiedler, on air from January 23rd
I would like to speak of my passion for inspiring people seeking a deeper level of awareness, increased confidence, a greater sense of self-trust, more resilience, and less fear of uncertainty, my joy in helping them overcome their pain-points around self-worth, authenticity, and their connection to the divine, and my desire to show as many people as possible that if I can do it, they can too, by getting Cosmic Bitch-Slap out into the world.
Jennifer is a Film industry veteran, Filmmaking trainer and lecturer, Confidence coach, F1 racing fan, and Author.
The film industry is one of the most brutal, competitive, toxic work environments known to man. While working in this unique industry, she developed a serious addiction to the mind-blowing exhilaration and the non-stop excitement that can’t block out the toxic nature of what goes on.
After almost 20 years, Jennifer’s arms got tired of holding all that toxicity at bay and knowing she was burned out, she dropped out to pursue a radically different course resulting in an epic adventure spanning four continents and more than nine years.
Cosmic Bitch-Slap is the book Jennifer wrote about how she gradually discovered that her big bag of sharp shiny moviemaking tools could successfully be put to use in other contexts. It’s a true story that’s basically a parable about all the things we don’t know we already know.
A terminally curious truth speaker with a gift for communicating, possessed with confidence, at ease with risk, and comfortable with uncertainty, one of Jennifer’s greatest joys in life is working with spiritually curious beings seeking their own transformational adventure in self-discovery.

Judy Wilkins-Smith – World-renowned Systemic Work and Constellations Expert, Motivational Speaker, and Author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint: A Powerful Guide to Transformation through Disentangling Multigenerational Patterns (Sounds True) offers guidance for disentangling your inherited family patterns so you can transform your relationship with money.
What comes to mind when you think of money? How do you feel about it? Do you tense up and feel fearful and stressed or do you feel joyful, relaxed, and at ease? Is money the “good guy” in your life or the “villain”? What does money mean to you? What kind of relationship do you really have with money?
Is it possible that we could be dealing with a generational ghost – a family pattern that keeps showing up from the past to haunt us and if so do we have the power to change or stop it?
It turns out Money is not just a commodity – it’s a relationship. And our relationship with money determines how much we can or can’t, will or won’t have. Money affects EVERY single area of our lives—lifestyle, relationships, education, health, opportunity, financial freedom, you name it. When our relationship with money is healthy, it supports us. When it’s not healthy, it seems to turn our whole world upside down.
You may think your relationship with money is based on your individual life experiences but it turns out we don’t just inherit our physical DNA we even inherit our money DNA through our emotional DNA. Neuroscience and epigenetics show there are many kinds of patterns we inherit – deeply unconscious, yet faithfully repeated patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors otherwise known as Emotional DNA. Every aspect of our lives, including our relationship with money, is subject to those inherited patterns.
So, how can you look at money with a fresh perspective and change the patterns that may be preventing you from living your best life? How do you elevate your money mindset and step into a new relationship with money such that money is now your valued friend who will gladly show up for you?!
Why is our relationship with money critical to manifesting more of it?
How can we best identify the limiting inherited financial patterns, our money DNA, that are not ours and no longer serve us?
Once we identify the patterns, how can we break through them and create a new relationship with money?
Consciously laying down new neural pathways around money, one thought, feeling, and action at a time.

Picture this…
A regular middle-class guy. Good job. Nice family. He made some money, bought houses, and sent his kids to college. A life many people would aspire to.
But his finances were a mess. And he didn’t even know it.
He relied on people he trusted to give him advice about what he should do with his money.
What he got was insurance that was totally wrong for him. And instead of making money with investments, he lost thousands.
What’s worse… these guys, who he trusted, who he thought were looking out for him, earned huge commissions.
That WAS our presenter today, Howard Gershman.
Fortunately, thru Primerica, he discovered the way finances are supposed to work. What he’s supposed to do and not do with his money. He switched everything around, and now he’s in a much better place.
Now with 19 years of experience, Howard shares that knowledge with others and, as a result, has helped:
Over 300 clients all over the country.
Turned 13 clients with massive debts to be on track to have $1,000,000 in retirement accounts
Set up 5 families to send their children to college without huge loans
Focuses on putting in place programs to prevent an unexpected disaster (death) from turning into financial ruin.
In short, he disrupts the way people think about their finances.
He’s eager to help you and the people you know to do the same.
As a financial advisor and coach, Howard Gershman teaches, guides, and coaches individuals and families about the fundamental concepts behind “how money works”. Unfortunately, these concepts are not taught in school. Through education and by offering a customized financial strategy, his clients experience the peace of mind they have always longed for, knowing that they are on the correct path to achieving their financial goals and financial independence.
Howard has broad experience and professional training in all aspects of personal financial management, including family budgeting, income replacement challenges, debt elimination, and early retirement planning.
In addition, he is skilled at problem-solving, organization and planning, writing, and public speaking.
Notable Accomplishments:
Won BNI givers gain award twice, Cycle to Vermont for Special Olympics, Numerous scouting awards.

She’s on a mission to help you untether yourself from all the “shoulds” and “can’ts” that have been holding you back.
Carmel is a single parent, mountain bike coach, life coach, podcaster and writer.
She’s pretty happy with her life, but it wasn’t always this way.
For many years, she made “safe” and practical choices. And she failed spectacularly at living the life she didn’t really want in the first place.
By age 35, she was a divorced single parent working a job that no longer interested her. And she wasn’t spending nearly enough time doing what she loved. When she finally got tired of hearing her own complaining, she hired a coach and started taking full responsibility for the results in her life. 10 years later, she runs her own coaching business, mountain bikes at least 3 days a week, and has finally found her forever romantic partner, who also mountain bikes, of course.
The more she’s allowed herself to focus on her passion for mountain biking the happier she’s been and the easier life has become.

Join a discussion on such profound and multifaceted topics like self-love & self-acceptance, radical honesty, spiritual journeys, plant medicine, living your truth, open marriage, ethical non-monogamy, self-confidence, and body image, offers a rich ground for exploration and learning. Here are some insights and questions that could contribute to the conversation: Here are some insights and questions that could contribute to the conversation:
Self-Love & Self-Acceptance: These are foundational for personal growth and happiness. Discussing how to cultivate self-love in a world that often promotes unrealistic standards can be enlightening. How do different cultures and societies view and encourage self-love?
Radical Honesty: This concept involves being truthful to oneself and others, including in uncomfortable situations. How does practicing radical honesty impact personal relationships and self-perception? Are there limits to how and when it should be applied?
Spiritual Journey: Spirituality can take many forms and doesn’t necessarily have to be tied to religion. What are various ways people embark on spiritual journeys? How do these journeys impact their worldview and inner peace?
Plant Medicine: Discussing the use of plants for healing, both physically and mentally, opens up a conversation about traditional and alternative medicine practices. How have different cultures utilized plant medicine, and what is its role in modern healthcare?
Living Your Truth: This can mean different things to different people. What does it mean to live authentically in today’s world, and how does one balance personal truths with societal expectations?
Open Marriage and Ethical Non-Monogamy: These are important topics in the context of modern relationships. How do couples navigate these waters while maintaining trust and respect for each other? What are the misconceptions and challenges?
Self-Confidence & Body Image: In a world bombarded with images of ‘ideal’ bodies and lifestyles, fostering self-confidence and a healthy body image is crucial. How do media and culture influence our perceptions of ourselves, and what can be done to promote a healthier view?
Each of these topics is a deep well of discussion in itself, and together, they weave a complex tapestry of human experience and psychology. The key in such a discussion is to maintain openness, respect, and a willingness to understand diverse perspectives.
I’m Misty Laboy, a Master Makeup Artist, Weight Loss Advisor, and Self-Love Mentor. My journey began as an art student selling Cosmetics to put myself through college and support my family. Along the way, I discovered my passion for helping women transform inside and out. Despite achieving success in my career, I struggled with my weight until I found that diets don’t work, but lifestyle changes do. This realization led me to the top 2% of my company and a mission to help others shed pounds and gain confidence. However, my own journey toward self-love was the most profound transformation of all. In 2020, I hit a low point and embarked on a spiritual self-love journey, healing addiction and finding inner fulfillment. Now, I empower women to discover their worth beyond appearances, as I did. Join me in embracing self-love and manifesting a life that exceeds your wildest dreams!
