Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Dr. Laura Graye, M.S., C.E.M. on air from January 30th
Dr. Laura Graye is a cutting-edge innovator and researcher in the burgeoning field of vibrational medicine. Her gentle heart and boundless energy guides clients from life-limiting beliefs and experiences to a healthier and more purposeful sense of being by utilizing her powerful intuitive capabilities, her knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and neuropsychology, and her comprehension of the quantum human experience. Laura has created hundreds of Medigraytions for her own conditions and those of her clients. She understands that to bridge the power of the subtle energy of consciousness to our physicality, we can use the brain’s ability to reorganize and recreate itself by forming new neural connections.
Laura holds a Master of Science from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, a Doctorate in Natural Medicine, and a Ph.D with a concentration in Quantum Medicine and Consciousness. She also holds a Certificate in Energy Medicine.
These medical meditations, aka “Medigraytions,” have been a long time dream of Dr. Laura Graye. As a freshman in college, Laura found herself with a serious case of obsessive-compulsive disorder. On the umpteenth trip from her car to check the locked door she was sure was still unlocked, Laura knew something was seriously off kilter in her brain. In an attempt to heal herself, she researched the metabolic pathways scientists believed at the time led to OCD. Working to design her own personal medical meditation, Laura studied the pathways created by the chemicals and receptor neurons and how a condition like OCD was created in the body physiologically, emotionally and mentally. Using her own mindful consciousness, Laura knew she could use subtle energy to deconstruct and reconstruct neural pathways in her brain and in the body’s messaging mechanism to the brain, called interoception. Over 30 days of nightly “Medigraytions” during which she meditatively blocked the excess serotonin receptors that were causing her OCD, calmed her neural pathways, and shifted her interoception, she cured herself of OCD. This was in 1986, 20 years before neural plasticity would be proven by science.

‘Life is too short, to not do what you enjoy’ and ‘Life is about choices’. I help people gain clarity and be happier, by creating more options in the simplest ways possible.

Zambian & British parents. Born in Zambia, raised in England, wanted to be a psychologist in my teens as the human mind always interested me, the saying mind over matter was a statement always heard, this didn’t happen, so started my journey of self discovery whilst working different office roles. Developed an interest in life coaching in my early twenties, but didn’t feel I had enough experience. Travelled some, acted on instinct and intuition, was free flowing and enjoyed life. Travelled to Zambia in 1999 and didn’t leave. Found I had a natural knack for business, got married, had kids. Fast forward to my early thirties and I was divorced, had 3 children between ages of 2 to 8 and had to make life and business work for me. So drew on my strengths to coach businesses and people to provide an extra income whilst raising and providing for my trio. Now in my late 40’s, parenting has transitioned, I live in both Zambia and UK and I thoroughly enjoy coaching.

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest JoAnn Grimlich, on air from January 9th
Did you know that one of the most important ways to help your child is simply by talking with them frequently starting as early as birth? The period of birth to age five is a crucial time for language development because at this age the spoken word develops naturally as a result of various types of stimulation. Brain growth, self-confidence, and vocabulary can be enhanced through talking, playing, and reading with your child every day. As parents and caregivers interact with their little one, they can use various strategies and techniques at home or when on the go to help their child develop communication skills. This all begins by having an understanding that children under the age of five experience the majority of their learning opportunities during regular daily routines and playtime. When you take the time to adjust your day-to-day interactions and your everyday routines that you are already engaging in, you can increase opportunities for speech and language development in your child and share special bonding moments together. So, let’s take advantage of daily routines that allow your child to understand and use language and get them ready for school success!!
Jo Ann Gramlich works as a Children’s Speech-Language Pathologist and uses her optimistic nature to empower children to be confident in their own voice so they can be heard and recognized out in the world. It all begins by Jo Ann teaching and helping children to tap into their imagination and skillful mind. She feels her philosophy of making learning fun and educational will bring out the best in children and help them explore their own creative abilities during the early years and beyond.
Jo Ann’s award-winning children’s books, Talk Play and Read with Me Mommy & Talk, Play, And Read With Me Daddy were inspired from her personal passion of working with children. She also published Talk, Play, And Read With Me Mommy Interactive eBook which includes interactive games filled with colorful animation, sound effects, and audio recordings that make a child’s learning experience enjoyable and fun. She continues to share her message with parents, caregivers, and educators to help bring awareness of the importance of early intervention and language development for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

I wanted to share my love of the outdoors and interest in the environment. Children can become empowered by reading about other children adventures and that leads them to many activities and adventures.
I’ve done many things in my life, but after getting an undergraduate degree in European History, I got an MBA and got licensed as a Certified Public Accountant. Starting out, I worked in several technology jobs, I managed a 16-attorney law firm, I taught accounting at the community college, and I finally took the leap and opened my own business of developing and managing self storage facilities. After retiring, I wanted to stay active and thought it would be fun to write a book for my grandchildren. My whole family skis, so this prompted me to undertake the first book, Tucker the Sno-Cat. That is when I went looking for an illustrator and co-author and found Annette Zack. After some success with the first book, we decided to write another one titled, Flotsam and Jetsam and other Beach Treasures.

“for the LOVE of Music” with Sara Troy and her guest Kevin Flournoy, on air from January 9th.
An unstoppable behind the scenes force of musical nature since his 1994 breakthrough as a producer with “Sweet Sensual Love,” Big Mountain’s follow-up to their smash “Baby I Love Your Way,” and keyboardist on their Reggae Sunsplash tour, Kevin Flournoy has amassed a dizzyingly prolific all-star resume in the jazz, pop and R&B realms over the past three decades.
Driven by an expansive, panoramic perspective on music, and starting with his subsequent 90s work with The Emotions, Teena Marie and Ronnie Laws (helming the saxophonist’s Blue Note tribute album Harvest for the World – Portrait of the Isley Brothers), Kevin has written, performed or recorded with Chaka Khan, Babyface, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Jeffrey Osborne, The Pointer Sisters, Jennifer Hudson, Howard Hewitt, Jamie Foxx, The Jazz Crusaders and contemporary jazz greats Boney James, Norman Brown, Kirk Whalum and Harvey Mason. In the 2000s, Flournoy toured with Donny Osmond for six years.
Now, marking an extraordinary 30 years as the music industry’s premiere “go-to” guy in a multitude of arenas, Kevin is finally emerging as a recording artist in his own right, writing, recording and producing his independent debut album Vers•a•tility. Much like Quincy Jones did in the 80s and 90s with his epic eclectic albums The Dude, Back on the Block, Q’s Jook Joint and From Q, With Love, the keyboardist/producer features a dynamic array of guest artists, complementing legends he has worked with throughout his career with hand-selected young and vibrant artists on the rise. The collection features eight vocal tracks and four instrumentals spotlighting Kevin’s brilliance as a keyboardist and composer.
“This project is a culmination of everything I know, each style I’ve played, and all I have done and want to do in music,” he says. “It’s special because it reveals all aspects of my artistry and lays a proper foundation for what I intend to write and produce moving forward. I’ve been dreaming about creating this album for many years and I’m delighted that it’s finally come to fruition. I’ve finally been able to emote through my art in such a way that is bringing joy to many people who are hearing my music for the first time.”
“What I like most about these sessions,” Kevin adds, “is that they’ve allowed me to work with some of the most sought-after studio musicians and celebrity vocalists in the industry. The album has always allowed me to develop relationships with some of the top recording studios (Capital, Westlake, East West, Sunset Sound) and studio engineers in the world, including late great 20-time Grammy winner Al Schmitt.”
Released this past year, Vers•a•tility’s first lead single “Tell Me If You Still Care” featuring vocals by Phil Perry and Shannon Pearson, is a lush, sensual re-imagining of the mid-80s Top 5 R&B hit by The S.O.S Band, composed by Jimmy Jam and /Terry Lewis. The YouTube video of a live presentation of the song has 2.5M+ views on YouTube and earned Song of the Year honors from the Orlando Urban Film Festival. The track marks a special reunion between Flournoy and Perry, whom the keyboardist played for years ago at Kimball’s East in Oakland.
The second lead single was the original Kevin-penned R&B/pop vocal track “You’re All I Need” featuring Filipino singer Orion Song, winner of The Voice Australia Anja Nissen and Christine Noel, well known for her tours as a backup singer for Miley Cyrus. The upcoming third single “Smooth It Over” is a special reunion with Ronnie Laws featuring Kevin on piano, while Kevin’s original urban jazz instrumental “Put It There” will be the fourth.
Other tracks include “Caribbean Blue,” which reunites Kevin with Quino, lead singer of Big Mountain; a twist on Al Green’s “Still in Love With You,” featuring Cerissa McQueen; a duet of the Barbra Streisand classic “Evergreen” by guest artists Cerissa McQueen and Adam Aejaye Jackson; an emotional version of Etta James’ iconic “At Last” with vocals by Shannon Pearson; and “A Parting Glance” featuring Native Vibe. In addition to “Put It There” and “Smooth It Over,” Kevin is the composer and main performer on the instrumentals “Secrets,” “Tears Are Gone” and “Move It Over,” which features San Diego guitar great Patrick Yandall and bassist Melvin Lee Davis, who is Chaka Khan’s musical director.
Kevin in part credits his father, a marine who played trombone, for cultivating his love for music early on by taking him and his siblings to a local music store in Barstow, CA to pick out an instrument to play. Kevin played guitar for several years before gravitating to his sister’s original instrument, the organ and ultimately piano. A professor at Kevin’s future alma mater University of California San Diego, Jimmy Cheatham, introduced him to the music of Count Basie when he was 15 and Kevin played in a big band for five years. Kevin earned a B.A. in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Music Science and Technology. Another major influence on Kevin as he made his way in the music industry was Marvin Gaye’s onetime musical director Nolan Shaheed.
In addition to his work with countless artists and working on numerous TV projects including American Idol, Kevin is the creator of an original video music-talk program called The K-Flow Show, a fresh take on the traditional music/talk show featuring organic live performances by celebrity and independent pop artists. Conceived as something of a mix between Hugh Hefner’s classic TV show Playboy After Dark, MTV Unplugged and Daryl Hall’s Live from Daryl’s House, The K Flow Show – which takes place in an intimate, living room type setting – will also spotlight instrumental performers and TV and film actors. Kevin has brought a live version of The K Flow Show to the Miracle Theatre in Inglewood, CA and in January 2024 will bring the special presentation to the Blues and Jazz Festival in Ghana, Africa.
Kevin is also deeply involved in a philanthropic effort as producer of a celebrity recording compilation On a Very Special Note, which will benefit The Art of the Olympians and the World Harmony Run/Peace Run – a project that will ultimately benefit people all over the globe. The original songs for the project have been composed by Kevin for each celebrity participant. A very important strategic promotional alliance with the Peace Run organization was forged when Kevin was honored with the Sri Chinmoy-Torch-Bearer Award, given to individuals who support and contribute to making the world a better place. Previous recipients include Archbishop Kevin Tutu, Russell Simmons, Carl Lewis and Billie Jean King.
