C22-16. Caprice Hogg, Art, Books and Teaching

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Caprice Hogg, on air from April 19th

Caprice first picked up her paintbrush in 1994 and quickly discovered a hidden talent. She studied with artists Karen Hersey, Keith Smith and Shane Garton and soon found herself in a world of colourful oils, shapes and art techniques. Her insatiable thirst for knowledge of art has become an obsession as Caprice eagerly reads each and every art book she can get her hands on. In 1998, Caprice’s first solo exhibition gave her the confidence and courage to pursue painting as a full-time career. She works and exhibits her paintings from her Studio Gallery located in Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada. Caprice’s works are now in private and corporate collections in Western and Eastern Canada, the United States, Europe, and New Zealand.

After painting full-time for many years, it was a natural progression for Caprice to start teaching art. Passing on the knowledge that was passed on to her is certainly an important part of her career. Whenever the opportunity arises, Caprice travels to not only see new landscapes but also to art galleries and museums in Canada and abroad. Looking at art illuminates and inspires. She then calls upon the powers of her imagination to portray on canvas the beauty and majesty of the mountains and forests that surround her. Her vibrant colours and bold strokes reflect her strong connection to mother nature.

Caprice is one of Cloud Lake Literary’s contributing reviewers. She is responsible for book reviews as well as the occasional author interview. Find her work under Impressions.

C22-16 Linda Heeler, Normal Lies in Life

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living Sara Troy with her guest Linda Heeler, PCC, on air from April 19th

Coaching gave me my life back. I had so much social anxiety that it was easier to lose myself in my family and work. Therapy helped but I still had crippling fear and anxiety every time I wanted to try something new. Now I’m living an amazing life and doing things I never thought possible. The best part is, that I’m helping others do the same! 

Linda Heeler is a Life/Executive Coach and host of the Normal Lies podcast.  While working as a dental hygienist, Linda discovered coaching as another way to help people; without having to put her hands in their mouths.

C22-16 Ruth Yunker is an expert at aging vivaciously.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Ruth Yunker, on air from April 19th

I am an author who has written three books. Two on traveling solo to Paris. And the third, Baby I’m the Boss of Me, tells how I find myself at 72 feeling, better than ever, at the top of my game, in fact! I’ve traveled widely, lived in many places, raised two children, and am finding out that getting older is not the end of the world. In fact, it is the beginning of an amazing journey, this unique part of our lives, and by staying curious and open, by nurturing your sense of humor, it becomes an amazing journey. Certainly, it has for me.

We discuss aging, traveling solo, health, and exercise, humor, personal bravery, beauty and fashion at every age, parenting, and the most important factor to aging vivaciously.

She’s been writing for thirty-five years, and has published everything from literary short stories, magazine articles, newspaper columns, and book reviews, to an NPR show called “Every day is Astrological”, and a cartoon strip “Zoe’s Voice”, about single parenting…

Ruth Yunker has written two books, in equal parts travel memoir and humor. Me, Myself and Paris and Paris, I’ve Grown Accustomed to Your Ways are both about surviving Paris as a single woman whose French is spoken with a Belgian accent (teenage years lived in Brussels), and who feels compelled to smile at strangers, even knowing such behavior is way outside the bounds of Parisian politesse.

In her latest book Baby, I’m the Boss of Me she takes on the joy and humor of aging, defining it clearly and precisely as the most powerful time of one’s life, should one choose to make it so.

Ruth Yunker had a peripatetic childhood and has continued the pattern as an adult. She is well-traveled and acutely attuned to both the gifts and foibles of her fellow man. As a result, she can say hello with the inflection and accent of a native anywhere she finds herself, and sometimes can even tell a joke successfully in French.

She currently lives in Los Angeles, California. She has two grown children, two divorced husbands, is in between pets, and is about to give up the big SUV for a smaller, more battered car to survive the appalling traffic issues in the gently aging Los Angeles.

Ruth Yunker is vivacious and intelligent, opinionated and funny, an easy-going, charming, and witty storyteller, who brings humor, her personal history, and the power of her convictions to every book she writes, and every audience to whom she speaks.

C22-15. Andrew Biernat & The Growing Pains of Growth

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Andrew Biernat, on air from April 12th

The process of personal growth isn’t always pleasant. After years of counseling, reading mountains of personal development books, and going through numerous challenges, including quitting alcohol and experiencing 3 miscarriages in between our two girls, much of the growth I’ve experienced has come at a cost. Some of the growth processes are fun and motivational. Much of it cuts you to the core in order for you to heal back stronger.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Victoria Coure, on air from April 12th

A Contagious Smile has been supporting families with both special needs as well as survivors of domestic violence for well over 16 years now. As a special needs parent, a survivor of domestic violence, and being special needs myself, I understand first-hand just how challenging it was and still is to be able to find the assistance that you need. This is a place where there is no judgment, no bullying and you get to be YOU! We offer support groups, social groups, classes, legal preparation, and much more. Finally, a place where you can be amongst lifelong friends, who understand exactly who and where you are because each and every one of us has been there or is still there. We believe in having fun, learning with laughter, and supporting one another’s dreams.
