“Positive Birth Psychology” and why a positive emotional and positive habits approach is now more needed than ever in birthing!
During these times of a global pandemic, there number of people all over the world, suffering from anxiety, depression and worries is on the rise. I read that depression has risen by 300 %.
The vision of “Pregnancy and Birth” does not seem to be a happy event anymore. Now there are so many changes in hospitals, the birthing experience is being overshadowed by uncertainty, anxiety and worry.
“Positive Birth Psychology” gives pregnant women and their partner’s simple exercises and techniques to go from pessimism to optimism; retraining your mind, body, emotions into doing more positive habits, more often. Many of the techniques can be done with a birthing partner which strengthens the bond in the relationship and includes the partner more in the birthing journey.
As an experienced midwife and NLP Trainer /Hyopnotherapist, I like to work with different methods to empower my clients to feel more positive, build true resilience and create more happy and posititve habits that they benefit from during pregnancy to birth and into the rest of their life. Sounds too good to be true? Of course, change takes time and practice, so I will speak a lot about how to build healthy habits and how you can use “Positive Birth Psychology” techniques such as kindness and gratitude to get out of trauma.

QUANTUM SPIRITUALITY with Sara Troy and her guest Joanne Derbolowsky, on air from January 5th 2021.
Embracing Change with Self-Knowledge and Kindness
In a world where uncertainty has become a constant, stepping into the unknown with confidence begins with knowing which foot to lead with. And for that, you must first know yourself. The deeper your self-awareness, the easier it becomes to release limiting patterns and shed old baggage that no longer serves you.
Self-discovery is the key to reinvention, allowing you to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience. As the saying goes, nothing stays the same—or as wisdom reminds us, this too shall pass. By detaching from the temporary, we free ourselves from unnecessary burdens and open the door to greater happiness and peace.
And in this journey, let’s not forget the power of kindness—to ourselves and to others. Life is filled with challenges, but the more we extend understanding and compassion, the lighter the load becomes for everyone. Small acts of kindness ripple outward, creating a world that is not only easier to navigate but also richer in connection and meaning.

With another year of managing my hedge fund coming to a close and the business still not profitable (i.e., we are not able to pay employees market salaries while also funding all the infrastructure costs of a hedge fund from legal to auditing to fund administration, etc.), I decided to go to a course entitled “Reignite.”
It sounded like just what I needed to get SaLaurMor to the next level in 2016.
All I had to do was get down to Orlando (frequent flyer miles helped there) and then the course was free except for just a $99 per night fee for the resort.
The description for the weekend was very enticing as well: “Learn how to re-ignite your finances, business, career and relationships. The weekend delivers change that lasts. We provide the real-life tools customized for your personal roadmap to getting results – so that you can live the life you choose.”
I decided to sign up for the session that started on December 18 and ran through December 20. I was positive it was going to get me ready for a 2016 that would be unparalleled.
There were people from all over Florida, but very few from outside the state. It was the last few days before Christmas and if you hadn’t completed your shopping these were the days that most do it. So, I was surprised to find almost 200 people in our “classroom” on Friday, December 18th.
Day two and Day three were very powerful with team building exercises. The one that really caused my “A-ha” moment was the one which was called “Obstacles are Illusions.”
We were each given a wooden board about two and a half inches thick; eight inches long and five inches wide. Imagine everyone’s horror as we had to fill out “permission slips.”
Robert spent at least forty-five minutes explaining how the holder was to hold the board with his hands covered with protective gloves and the “breaker” was to shift his weight forward but only use his palm outstretched. We practiced setting up and shifting our weight and ending up beyond where the holder was holding the piece of wood. Wow, this was really scary. Is it possible to break your wrist? Remember, “hesitation = pain?”
We had to literally break it in half with our hand.
On one side, we wrote our biggest obstacle and on the other side we wrote our goal.
I wrote down my biggest obstacle was raising enough money for SaLaurMor Capital to be wildly profitable.
On the other side, I wrote my goal: “Making everyone in this room financially free.”
Wow!
Writing that and saying that made me feel so good. I was being of service to others.
What did Robert say success was? “Success is not a thing; it is more a feeling. You feel complete and you feel successful in your relationship or business.”
I also realized that my objective and my goal were non-sequiturs. The objective of raising enough money for SaLaurMor Capital had nothing to do with “making everyone in the room financially free.”
At this course and a few others I have been to over the years, I have found that when the speaker starts talking about stocks and stock options, especially, they explain it in such a way as to make it seem that you can make a lot of money in options but the risk is very limited or not at all. I’ve heard statements such as these:
“Options have unlimited upside.”
“You can trade them anywhere.”
“You have very little up-front or start-up costs.”
“It requires very little time.”
“Options are where the rich make their money.”
While, many of these statements are true, it is also true that options do have significant risks and if you buy an option you can lose your whole investment and if you sell an option you can lose a lot more than your whole premium. And I’m not sure how many of the rich have used stock options alone to make their money.
So, the other thing that happened at that course that I went to in December 2015 was that other attendees started to ask me questions about stocks and stock options after our guest speaker on options had finished his introductory tutorial.
I realized that recommendations to invest in securities without knowing key information about the attendees including their risk tolerance, net worth, earnings, cash flow, and knowledge was inappropriate. And I felt that this part of the presentation was not authentic and potentially misleading.
Many attendees asked me if stock options were essentially riskless (see JoelSalomon.com for a discussion on stock options for my obvious answer). Some felt that they could make multiples of their investment—using leverage. That is certainly true; however, no one discussed the risk of losing their whole investment, which is also possible.
What I realized from all these discussions was that education was essential and I could do a really good job of helping others and being of service to them based on my long history in the insurance and investment industry.
Knowing the limited amount of information that most individuals had on investments and the lack of information many have about their own situation, the possibility to help others seemed to be quite large to me. I felt an obligation to help the people in the course and realized there must be many other courses like these that could be hugely beneficial and educational to potential investors, and to help people achieve financial freedom.
I came home from the course and realized that my mission in life was not investing institutional and high-net worth individuals’ money.
I could have continued on investing this money, but it didn’t feel right. I could have been a super successful hedge fund manager. But what did I do?
I didn’t sleep the night I came home from the course as the wooden board—actually one half of the wooden board—stared at me all night: “Make everyone in this room financially free.”
I went into my office that Monday morning and informed my investors I was planning on shutting down my hedge fund. This was a major decision that is hard to make a reader understand. A dream that I thought was “right” for twenty years was really not my true purpose in life. I know that may sound a bit cliché, but it is true.
This huge decision to shut down my company came quickly. It was my “higher self” telling me “truth.” I knew that trusting this decision was the right thing to do. Remember this was the company I longed to start for years. It was the company I had so much difficulty finding investors for in 2012 and 2013. Remember I had two employees I was paying salaries and benefits. Two people who relied on my good judgment. I had two daughters that relied on my cash flow generation for their child support. And of course, I had all the service providers who had supported me unconditionally (though some may say they were more than fairly compensated for their efforts) for almost four years. Was I throwing this all away based on a “whim?”
No!
I began with a simple question:
Is investing my true purpose on earth?
Am I supposed to be helping ultra-high-net worth individuals and companies become super-wealthy or am I supposed to be of service to those in need?
Am I supposed to help those who can really gain by my knowledge and experience?
Am I supposed to help those who can gain not only from my financial acumen but also from my knowledge that everything depends on your thoughts and if you can “act as if,” you can indeed achieve what you ask for?
When I informed my investors that I was going to return their money because I wanted to align my mission with my career, I did not receive significant push back. This indicated to me that I was on the right track…

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Eric North, aka “The Happiness Warrior” on air December 1st
“My age is like a phone number – It’s unlisted.” – Eric North
Eric North thinks he has a genetic disposition to set things right– and regardless of what’s going on in your day to day, no matter how fraught and anxious 2020 may be for you, he wants to help you do something that, once taken to heart, will change your life. He wants you to give yourself permission to be happy. After years of entrepreneurial success with two thriving Washington DC based businesses dedicated to life changing therapies, he’s found new purpose and passion leading people to the next level in their emotional and spiritual lives as “The HappinessWarrior.”
As we see on his recently launched Instagram page The Happiness Warrior Eric is “forging a new path in a changing world.” He’s done it on the platform before, gaining a massive following on the platform for his @50redfined page, which he created in 2014, the year he turned the big 5-0. By posting pictures of his ultra-fit body (which keeps his modeling agent in NYC busy) and motivational videos, he helped change the minds of thousands about aging and showcased an alternative to just “getting old.” Driven by his long-held theory that “every seven years, we go through a positive, momentum shifting upheaval in our lives,” the lifestyle visionary is now expanding, rebranding and building momentum as a force for leading others to finding personal happiness in an increasingly negative world.
“This is a year where everyone is going through major changes, and my mindset is on what being a warrior means and redefining it a bit to be aligned with how I think,” Eric says. “Over the years, I’ve been humbled by people who have told me that my words of insight or encouragement have served to change their lives – even years later, and from things I don’t remember saying. I have become a good listener and always look for practical solutions. It’s what I call ‘naïve intelligence’ and common sense. Being ‘The Happiness Warrior’ is a way to use what I do best to empower people and raise their self-esteem.
“I’m a highly driven and motivated person but have always felt there are many people out there who need a voice, someone that’s on their side,” he adds. “The happiest people are those that help others have better lives and feel good about themselves. Most concepts that really work well are very simple and don’t need to be complicated to have the most impact. To me, it’s all very spiritual and energy is everything. Becoming ‘The Happiness Warrior,’ I’m creating expansion in my life by adding value to the lives of others.”
Putting his advocacy into personal practice, Eric says the first step towards giving yourself permission to be happy is forgiving yourself for mistakes and missteps that have hurt yourself and others and working towards the closure of long festering emotional wounds. He’s diligent about affirmations, starting his day and setting his intention by saying, “It’s going to be a great day.” His three-step morning plan is affirmation, hydration, activation (quiet time stretching and doing breathing work). His pre-bedtime ritual is similar and includes the phrase, “I had a great day today, but I will do better tomorrow.”
Eric has essential, empowering advice for those who feel dogged by anger and depression. “To get to a happier place,” he says, “find three things you love, that give you joy. It could be a favorite book, a tree in your yard or the park, your dog or cat, your son, daughter, niece or nephew. Expressing gratitude is key. Start thinking about ways to make yourself happier. It’s a healthy lifeline in a world that’s becoming more uglier with the destruction we’ve caused to our planet and the horrible sociopolitical discourse that’s been happening.”
Though his branding as “The Happiness Warrior” will include a launch of professionally shot videos in the spirit of those he created for @50redefined, Eric has higher ambitions, planning to develop a Netflix/OWN ready series concept that focuses on people around the world who have made an effort to help others be happy – and what we can learn from their stories. “The concept is about bringing more emotion and humanity into our lives by seeing how others bring joy, to counter all the negative things we hear about on the news,” he says. “Human beings need to see impactful stories that, when they’re done crying, will inspire them to do better things in their own lives. Considering the current global population, there are potentially seven billion stories out there waiting to be discovered.”
Over the past decade, Eric – who grew up in Fairfax County, Virginia and earned a B.S. in marketing from George Mason University – founded and has run two seven figure businesses that help people expand their lives and feel better physically and emotionally. Performance Rejuvenation Center (launched in 2011) is a medical practice that provides hormone optimization and anti-aging therapies. Stretch Workz, started in 2015, provides practitioner assisted stretch therapy with six DC area locations. While Eric represents the Performance Rejuvenation Brand, his husband Tom leads the Stretch Workz team
Both of these entrepreneurial success stories evolved from Eric’s bold move in his late 30s to leave corporate America – where he worked as a tech and proposal writer, among other jobs, for government contractors – and pursue his dream of becoming a personal trainer and later, a real estate professional. While his type A personality led him to thrive in both endeavors, by 42 he felt an ongoing sense of lower energy and stamina. His physician determined that he was displaying the classic symptoms of low testosterone levels – but the prescribed gels were messy and did nothing to help him.
After extensive research, he found a respected clinic in Palm Beach, Florida and became a new patient. Learning about his internal health and the power of a well supervised hormone therapy program spurred his “help all, set things right” ambition. Prompted by the head of the clinic, who said he was seeking someone younger to start new businesses with him, Eric put together a business plan and opened Washington DC’s first dedicated hormone therapy clinic. A few years later, after experiencing first-hand the long-term health and fitness value of “being stretched,” Tom and Eric launched Stretch Workz in a one room space in an office building.
Often called a “a machine” by his husband and blessed throughout his life with magical trips and serendipitous, soul-stirring encounters, Eric made an amazing friend in renowned personal transformational coach Giselle Koi when he attended the Precision Performance Summit in Austin in March 2020. Giselle’s invitation to Eric to visit her in her new home of Sedona, Arizona in August proved life-changing – even beyond the cementing of their friendship and her helping him focus on his personal goals.
“I felt like I needed this trip, and I was there as part of a journey to find out what I am and should be doing with my life,” Eric says. “One morning we hiked up a mesa and met up with a prayer circle. I was able to join in and put my hands and feet onto the rocks. I looked above me as if to seek guidance from the universe. Then I felt something shift, as if the mountain itself were speaking to me and all the knowledge I could ever need was right there to tap into. I had been waiting for this epiphany a long time. I came away from that experience changed and liberated, declaring ‘I am the happy warrior.’ I knew it was time to rebrand my life with that aesthetic. There are so many things I can do to make a difference in this world, and I’m excited to tap into people’s hunger for happiness.”
