C24-41. Sandra Wasko-Flood. Labyrinth of Peace

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Sandra Wasko-Flood, on air from October 8th

Meet the woman who made people walk in a labyrinth on the Eastern lawn of the U.S capitol. Sandra Wasko-Flood is an artist, poet and teacher. She is the founder and spirit behind non-profit organization Living Labyrinths for Peace. Her book The Labyrinth Path to Light and Peace gives a view into her visions of peace and health through labyrinth walking.

In the Great Kiva at Chaco Culture Park, New Mexico, Sandra had a vision of ceremonial dancers from all races, cultures and beliefs, peacefully ascending an underground spiral to do a labyrinth dance. She became the founding member of the International Labyrinth Society. She went on to create an interactive labyrinth art/technology installation, “Dance of the Labyrinth,” symbolizing a peaceful dance of opposites for our times. The first project was a walking the labyrinth for inner peace ceremony on the U.S capitol Eastern lawn. The Washington Performing Arts Center asked her to give her “Labyrinths for Creativity and Peace” workshops in the schools. She gave these workshops in the local DC schools and changed the school system relating the labyrinth to every subject.

Sandra means that walking the Labyrinths can help with diagnoses such as autism, dyslexia and Parkinson. Psychologically they can help alleviate anxiety and PTSD. Since 2005, the Living Labyrinths for Peace has installed labyrinths in over 40 schools in the DC area, and many in New Mexico.

She has done many programs in the Taos, New Mexico schools and the local communities and continues to do these programs nationally and internationally.

Her goal is to create a Luminous Labyrinth Center for Peace where people can choose what labyrinth design to project on the floor, what light box images on which they wish to walk for the occasion of their choice: birthdays, marriages, conflict resolutions.

Sandra Wasko-Flood is artist, poet and teacher. She is the founder and spirit behind non-profit organization Living Labyrinths for Peace, Inc. She got a BA in English and a Secondary teaching credential from the California State College in Los Angeles.

C24-37. Dr. Tamara Stephens “Well Of Course”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Tamara Stephens, on air from September 17th

My background was consumed with low self-esteem, depression, and suicidal ideation. Conventional therapies such as medication and therapy did not work for me. However, by reading self-help books and integrating spiritual practices into my daily life, I broke through limiting beliefs and began living a life of progression and joy. I am passionate about sharing my journey and the lessons I’ve learned along the way with others. I believe that when individuals live more joyous lives, they contribute to joyous communities, and when communities are grounded in progression and joy, they can create an ever-expanding ripple effect of positivity and well-being across states, countries, and continents.

C24-35. Fairy Godmother, Marisa McGrady

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Marisa McGrady, on air from August 27

The Fairy Godmother’s Growth Guide:

Whimsical Poems and Radical Prose for Self-Exploration

Social media sensation Marisa McGrady is the Fairy Godmother with a self-help guide that isn’t one-size-fits-all…
Modern media makes self-love seem simple. Buy a bath bomb, apply a face mask, and voila! You’ve got self love commodified and canned for your convenience. But self-love cannot be bought. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to self-care. What happens once our bubble baths drain and feelings of self-loathing, doubt, or despair creep back in? How do our bodies, resource availability (including free time), and physical and emotional needs impact our ability to care for ourselves? Are our bodies “bad” just because certain industries, organizations, or people deem them so?

C24-24. Ingeborg Mooiweer’s Transformation

Sara Troy

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Ingeborg Mooiweer, on air from June 18th

My why is the road I travelled from adversity being brought up by a narcissistic mother, divorcing parents and many very traumatizing situations in my life to a life. Now healed and helping people within the relationship realm, with my own method based on my experience, education and highly intuitive feeling. The why is that I want people to be able to change their life/business and relationship from what they thought they couldn’t to a I can, and subsequently empower their children to break the cycle.

C24-13. Jeane Lynch Mediating Transitions

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Jeane Lynch, on air from March 26th

Having experienced, and successfully navigated many life changes and transitions myself, I can look back on the growth and benefits of those events.


Victor Frankl – last of human freedoms -to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances – to choose one’s own way when we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves –

So important for clients to change their mindset / thinking / assumptions to be able to move forward towards a new and positive future 

Transition and change are often scary and filled with uncertainty, lack of clarity, anxiety and fear, with people being stuck and feeling helpless and hopeless. 

However, transition and change can be empowering and lead to a bright future with the right insight, support and tools. I use the butterfly as a metaphor both for the (a) butterfly effect – where a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon, could cause a typhoon somewhere else in the world. Thus, small actions or steps can have a significant ripple effect and impact, which can change the course of one’s life. One just needs to start with small steps to move forward and to move through the overwhelm.

(b) the metamorphosis that occurs in the butterfly cocoon – Life transitions and challenges can be the catalyst for major transformation and growth

In my practice I emphasize the transformative power of family mediation and divorce or transition coaching, and how it can turn uncertainty, chaos and conflict into harmonious resolutions and a future with hope. But most importantly in Family Law to keep people out of court to save thousands of dollars.

I grew up in South Africa, and emigrated to Australia in my 30s I was a Librarian which I loved, and worked in different libraries, until I had my children. I then worked part-time in many different fields.    In my 60s I felt the urge to do something challenging, that could lead to a meaningful use of my time and give a sense of purpose in my Third Age. The ‘R’ word (retirement) didn’t feature in my vocabulary!  I did a post-graduate law degree online and was admitted as a solicitor.  However, I was more drawn to mediation than litigation, and went on to study Family Dispute Resolution as part of my Masters of Law and other courses, including Separation and Divorce Coaching and Transition and Recovery Coaching, and started my solo practice, hope and harmony coaching and mediation last year.

Just to add an initiative of mine to get certified divorce coaches recognized in AUSTRALIA:

Divorce Coaching is fairly new in Australia, unlike in the USA where it is recognized by the American Bar Association. I was one of the first cohorts to be trained and certified in Australia in 2021.

There are however many untrained and non-certified coaches who call themselves divorce coaches, which can jeopardise and discredit the reputation of genuine divorce coaches.

I did a presentation with two colleagues for their Board and listeners as a CPD event. We have been recognised in principle, however there are a few more processes for full recognition. 

My vision is for a national register by the Attorney General Department where the legal system can access divorce coaches as the first port of call, as a dispute resolution process, to keep people out of court, for the protection of children, and saving thousands of dollars in legal fees, time and stress.

Thus, last year I approached a few Dispute Resolution agencies and organisations to gain professional recognition and accreditation.

I have been in consultation with ADRA – Australian Dispute Resolution Association, to that effect.
