TSM26-24. Valentina Pinzon Ancestral Art


Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Valentina Pinzon, on air from June 16th

Our mission is to honour and support ancestral wisdom through Indigenous-made and sustainably grown cultural offerings from Colombia, Peru, and Mexico. We share ceremonial tools, statement jewellery, organic edibles, and sacred creations that invite people into deeper self-awareness, connection, and appreciation of ancestral cultures.

Our offerings include ceremonial-grade cacao, cacao tea, palo santo, rattles, medicine bags, beaded jewellery, clothing, accessories, and other handcrafted items created with intention and respect for tradition. Each piece carries a story, reflecting the people, culture, and sacred processes behind its creation.

What began as a journey of sharing Indigenous art has evolved into a deeper focus on ceremonial edibles, particularly cacao. Through learning the needs and interests of our local community, we have expanded into designing and creating products that resonate more closely with those seeking meaningful and conscious living practices.

By offering authentic Indigenous products and educating people about the traditions, craftsmanship, and cultural significance behind them, we aim to foster awareness, respect, and curiosity for ancestral wisdom and Indigenous communities across South America and beyond.

Through our ceremonial cacao, we are also beginning to facilitate workshops and talks on the conscious consumption of cacao, helping others reconnect with the ancestral spirit of Mama Cacao and cultivate a more mindful and heart-centred relationship with themselves and the world around them.

C26-24. Troy Frostad is Choosing Life in the Face of Cancer.


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Troy Frostad. On air from June 16th

My story is about emotional resilience when life changes without warning and pressure becomes deeply personal.  As a former Executive Vice President, I understood responsibility, leadership and high stakes decisions.  Being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer forced me to learn resilience at a much deeper level.  I had to fight for my life while still choosing how I would live, love, lead and respond to the people depending on me.  That experience became the foundation of my life’s work:  helping leaders and people in difficult seasons stay grounded when fear is loud, protect their decision making under pressure and keep moving forward with courage and purpose.  The message to pass is this:  you may not be able to control what happens to you, but you can build the resilience to face it with clarity, strength and a life that is still fully lived.

I am originally from Kettle Falls, Washington, and my leadership journey began in the United States Air Force, where I served for six years, including combat roles during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. After the military, I spent much of my career in executive leadership, building teams, coaching leaders, and learning how to lead through pressure, change, and responsibility. Today, my work with Pinnacle Leadership brings together 37 years of leadership experience, my cancer journey, my faith, and my passion for helping people grow. Behind the profession, I am a husband to Kim, a father to Taylor, a man of faith, a cancer survivor, and someone who believes leadership is not just what you do; it is who you become when life tests you.

MA26-24. Dr Susan Blumberg on Adult women with ADHD


Mental health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Susan Blumberg. On air from June 16th

Adult women with ADHD frequently experience delayed diagnosis due to internalizing symptoms like inattentiveness, emotional dysregulation, and heavy masking. Special considerations for women include hormonal impacts on medication efficacy, higher rates of comorbid anxiety and mood disorders, and a significant risk of burnout from compensating for executive dysfunction, either at work or home, or both. 

Women often don’t get diagnosed until their children are diagnosed and they recognize their symptoms, they begin to experience difficulties at work, or treatment of their misdiagnosis of depression or anxiety stops working. 

 Cognitive behavioral therapy, life coaching focused on executive functioning and communication skills, support groups, and targeted medication management are all effective interventions.

I’m a married mother of two young adult, twice-exceptional children. I’ve lived in Colorado for over 40 years, but I still think of myself as a New Yorker!

My background in cognitive behavioral therapy informs my work as a life coach, as I help people set goals, plan their journey, and achieve success. I worked as a licensed clinical psychologist for over 20 years, in mental health agencies, in private practice, and for the federal government overseeing child welfare and adoption services in the Rocky Mountain region. This has given me a solid and varied background, and extensive level of experience.

Working as a special education advocate for 40 years means I have honed my skills as a negotiator, my ability to collaborate, and my understanding of being a team member. I always put your child first. I have training from the Arc, Wrightslaw, and I was a member of COPAA, the Council Of Parent Attorneys and Advocates. I have sat on both sides of the IEP table, as a professional and a parent, which gives me an unique perspective. Though I am not currrently taking new clients, I am available for consultation as needed.

I am also the coauthor of multiple books, including Fighting for Your Marriage (2010, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg), 12 Hours to a Great Marriage (2003, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg) and Parenting a Child with Sensory Processing Disorder: a family guide to understanding and supporting your sensory-sensitive child (2006, Auer & Blumberg).

My journey started out as an inspiring gymnast, and I had to give up that dream in 8th grade. Which left me chasing finishlines as a competitive cyclist and triathlete. My highest value is health, which lead me to become a physiotherapist. While in school, I was introduced to cycling and triathlon, and that is when I starting competing. I coached myself to the pro level as a road cyclist. When I became a mom about 13 years ago, I started a fitness business for moms. From there I moved into the world of coaching, health coaching, life coaching and mental fitness coaching. Training the brain and the nervous system is my passion and I focus on helping women get off the diet cycle and lose the weight for good, not just the physical weight but the emotional weight.
