C21-49 Heather Dugan, Surviving the Holidays when you are Alone.

December 6, 2021November 30, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Heather Dugan, on air from December 7th
~Tips and advice from relationship expert and award-winning author Heather Dugan on how to keep loneliness at bay~

Heather says that loneliness is a personal concept. While some people don’t need a lot of social interaction to be happy and healthy, others may have contact with friends and family members all the time and still feel alone. “Loneliness happens when you feel socially isolated, and it can have a powerful impact on your mental health. You need to plan for low moments and make the most of situations that are beyond your control,”

The holiday season should be a time of joy and love, but it can also be a time of loneliness for many people. As we gradually crawl out of the pandemic, the uncertainty around traveling and vaccine hesitancy among Americans may force people who live far from family to stay home and miss seeing their loved ones. “For those who feel a sense of loneliness, holidays can be a time of major additional stress,”

Dugan. “You can still make memories for yourself by being creative and flexible. Build new “traditions” and find ways to embrace rather than avoid the alone time.”

Some useful suggestions from Heather to add some cheer to solo holidays:

Refrain from comparing yourself to others and assuming they are doing great
Focus on the brighter and positives of the situation
Volunteer and offer your service to someone in need

September 13, 2021September 4, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Sheryle Ann Wilson, on air from September 14th

I am a singer, songwriter, author, speaker and a seeker. My story started from early life experiences and then later in her early 30’s I was deemed disabled. This brought out the researcher and writer as well as speaking, in me as I was initially involved with a disability non-profit where I learned much and was consistent in speaking up for the disabled people, as well as dealing with new disabled category illnesses that came to me in my life. I continued being involved in several different non-profits either being an advocate, board director, or president.

C21-36 Isabel Chiara, author of EAT YOUR WORDS

September 6, 2021September 4, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Isabel Chiara, on air from September 7th

Isabel has supported hundreds of clients to actualize their life’s greatest potential, to reconsider obstacles as opportunities and how to meet challenging moments with heart. She has dedicated decades to personal growth and development but kept her own lifelong struggle with food well hidden from her work. Nearing her 60th birthday, she knew she had to break her own silence about her struggles.
From this place, she wrote EAT YOUR WORDS and created Giana Giovanni; loosely based on aspects of her own story, but presented in a relatable way so that, true to Isabel’s nature, her own healing journey could be offered to others.

How to begin to approach feeling the physical body in a world that seems to promote disassociation with the body. How women can powerfully reframe what “getting there” actually means and why we can come together to transform what success looks like physically. How each person is equipped with a unique sense of “gut instinct” that is as varied as the trillions of bacteria in our digestive system. How to hone in on your “gut instinct.”

Isabel Chiara, created Giana Giovanni, a character whose story is told in the style of a first-person historic memoir. Giana’s recount takes us from the farm fields of Italy circa World War II to the era of Grease Lightening in the late 1970’s, up to the current day. In humorous, easy-to-read language, Eat Your Words gives us a peak at the generational path of overeaters beginning from a home-grown food heritage to the fast-food, drive-thru window of the super-sized large fry and extra-thick chocolate shake.
With the wisdom of the feminine, Isabel supports Giana’s inner-exploration and aha moments, not pushing her to find a solution to her dysfunctional relationship with food, but encouraging her, through self-love, to live her way back into her body that feels, at last, like home. In this tale, our protagonist’s main “squeeze” and heroic rescuer isn’t the hot boy next door but rather the overly-handled bag of chips she grapples with until finally exchanging it for the act of self-embrace.
