Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Cindy Shaw, on air from May 11th
Cindy Shaw is the founder of the Better Brain Academy. As a brain health coach and mental performance trainer, she helps people improve their lives by blending leading-edge neuroscience, brain health, and self-improvement strategies that help individuals naturally overcome mental health disorders, supercharge their energy and focus, and optimize their well-being.
My story: For years I suffered from debilitating brain fog, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. As well, my youngest daughter suffered from anxiety and ADHD, leading me to fear for her mental well-being. As someone who taught mindset strategies for years, nothing I knew worked for myself or my daughter, which led to my exploration of the brain’s health and how it impacts how we think, feel, act and interact with others. This led me to create The Better Brain Academy which combines brain health principles with mindset coaching.
Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from May 11th
Let us celebrate our global village and support and collaborate together. That has always been the way to secure and strengthen a community, the coming togetherness. First, we need to know ourselves, who are we from our very core? what do we stand for, what is our passion that leads to our mission and meaningful purpose? Then in that self abundant light, shine yourself on others in your village, your community.
Being a part of a like soul, and spirited group, where you share each other’s abilities and celebrate with each other while collectively supporting everyone, opens the door to personal and communitive love. That sense of belonging to a tribe a community that gets you and where you are in harmony with each other that lifts each other up, and allows us to expand our divine abilities to greater heights.
So look around, locally, digitally, social media, interact and get to know others with whom you can connect with and be there for each other in all of your meaningful purposes. You walk your own path of your own choice, but having people who are there for you along the way, allows you to explore your calling and gifts even more.
Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Andrew Gruel. on air from May 11th
Andrew Gruel, is an American chef and television personality, who appeared as a judge on Food Network’s Food Truck Face Off and is the founder, CEO, and executive chef of Slapfish, a seafood restaurant franchise based out of Huntington Beach, California.
THE 86 RESTAURANT STRUGGLE: A Fund Helping Struggling And Out Of Work Restaurant Workers Restaurants in the U.S. are in an “economic free fall” amid the ongoing spike in coronavirus cases and the forced shutdowns, with almost 20% of dining establishments around the country haveclosed permanently since the start of the pandemic. This has left thousands of restaurant workers struggling to survive, many unable to pay even the most basic bills and put food on the table. In the absence of any substantial government relief and gridlock in state unemployment agencies, it is incumbent on us within the community to help one another. All of the funds raised will be redistributed directly to restaurant workers, via checks and electronic platforms, who have either lost their job or are in need of a small leg-up to cover rent payments, medical bills, childcare, or any other day-to-day help. A backend admin team of volunteers will double-check and confirm references, previous employers, and more to ensure the process is honest and transparent.
Chef Gruel | Seafood Guru – Sandwich Junkie – Restaurateur Andrew Gruel, a summa cum-laude graduate of Johnson & Wales University, is currently the Founder and Executive Chef of Slapfish Restaurant, the award-winning food truck turned international brick and mortar, based out of Huntington Beach, CA. Chef Gruel has taken Slapfish (bootstrapped!) from 2 food trucks to 10+ restaurant locations in just over 3 years. Chef Andrew Gruel has appeared on multiple Food Network shows including his most recent role as a Judge on the show Food Truck Face Off. Gruel has also been on “TODAY Show”, PBS, Cooking Channel, as well as in numerous publications including The Wall Street Journal, Men’s Health, Food & Wine Magazine, Entrepreneur, and Restaurant Business. In 2013 he was named the top 40 under 40 entrepreneurs in Orange County. He is currently the host of a new restaurant makeover show set to air in spring 2015 on a major network.
How he got here: After years of working in fine dining restaurants, hotels, and diners — ranging from The Ritz Carlton to the midnight shift at Denny’s — Chef Gruel’s love of the ocean drove him to direct a non-profit project at The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA called “Seafood for the Future”. Here he worked with hundreds of chefs, fishermen, and like-minded organizations establishing a national culinary awareness for the sustainable seafood movement. Andrew is admittedly addicted to the fast pace of the restaurant world and translates that into his business approach to be very hands-on whenever possible. His next project is to establish a monthly changing restaurant space that gives aspiring chef-entrepreneurs a chance to “beta-test” their concept without spending thousands of dollars.

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Terry Boyle McDougall, on air from May 4th

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Marie Delanote, on air from May 4th
Meditation and awareness training allows us to find the place in our hearts and minds where we feel happy and trusting so that we can feel good again, in any situation, wherever we are, and as quickly as possible. Knowing how to regulate your emotions is a life skill and should be taught to all children. This knowledge will empower our children, the next generations, and humanity and can help reduce the number of people dealing with depression and anxiety dramatically! My children’s meditations are visualisation exercises that enhance creative thinking, mental strength, positive thinking… the base of a happy life. It is based on the principle: when you watch the TV, your emotions react depending on what you see…. What if you use your mind as a TV to influence your emotions. So we start to visualise positively to uplift our emotions. The mind doesn’t know the difference between real or imagined anyway but your emotions react to it. And when you feel good, you vibrate higher energy which in its turn (like attracts like), attracts good to you. When a child learns how to regulate their emotions, we empower our children. The exercises in this book teach children how to have power and control over how they feel, what’s happening, and where they want to be in life! Exercises may be performed in as little as one minute or as long as 5-10 minutes, making it easy to incorporate them into daily life or a longer learning session. They rely on fun visualisation techniques that enhance creative thinking, mental strength, positive thinking, and self-esteem, in order to harness the mind – the basis of a fabulous, happy, and successful life.
Marie’s first book, ‘The Healing of the 1lb Baby’ self-published in 2014, tells her personal emotional and spiritual journey when her fourth child was born extremely premature at 24 weeks pregnancy, weighing 1lb.

People can contact me if they’re interested in a healing session (all sessions are distance healing but everything that comes up is typed out and sent in an email) I use my visualization skills to look past the boundaries of the physical.
