IG23-51. Shawna James is Magical

December 18, 2023December 18, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Shawna James, on air from December 19th

Magic. Life is full of it. For years, in the corporate world, my teams would hear me repeat my mantra, “I have a magic wand and I know how to use it.” That was my truth, though at a level I didn’t even yet realize, until a life-altering encounter with COVID-19 changed my trajectory and had me doubting everything I thought I knew. I found myself compelled to embrace stillness on my healing journey, discovering that true healing resonates on the level of frequency.

While we’ve been taught the importance of daily nutritional health for our bodies, we must not forget that we are not merely physical beings. The question then arises: what kind of ‘nutrition’ are we providing for our mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual health? As we are surrounded by frequencies and energies, it’s the raising of our vibration to a level of harmony and resonance with the higher frequencies that contribute to our fullest expression. Now, more than ever, we are awakening to our inherent power. The daily practices we adopt are not just routine and self-care is not merely a luxury; they are the keys to unlocking our latent potential, allowing us to wield the magic that lies within with profound clarity and intention.

With a wealth of experience from two decades in personal and corporate training, Shawna James saw her early career bolstered by the privilege of working alongside and observing closely revered industry leaders, such as Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra. The insights into the human potential and resilience were put to the test when her journey through a crucible of personal health challenges lighted a path towards vibrational healing and self-discovery.

In the aftermath of her health ordeal, Shawna turned inward, harnessing her training in Reiki, hypnosis, and neuro-linguistic programming to forge a new path of wellness rooted in the subtleties of energy work. She is now a steadfast advocate for the transformative power of frequency and resonance as tools for profound self-healing.

Dedicated to raising the collective vibration, Shawna’s approach is rooted in the belief that each individual’s path to healing and growth is sovereign, unique, and one-of-one. She empowers others to discover their own vibrational signature and awaken to their spiritual consciousness. Her vision is clear: by honoring the uniqueness of our journeys, we activate the full spectrum of our inner wisdom and step into a life of deliberate authenticity and enchantment. We have begun the journey of remembering who we really are. It’s time we begin to practice living A Different Normal. If enough of us change ourselves, we will change the world.

23-51. My Self Discovery is Published.

December 18, 2023January 24, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from December 19th

Well, the time has come – my book is finally out, albeit currently just in e-book format. It’s an odd feeling, putting your life’s story down on paper. Reading it back feels like reliving my journey, with each page turning into a surprising exploration of my past.

Originally, my plan was to record everything and then transcribe it, but instead, I took a three-week break from work and just let my fingers do the talking. My story flowed out naturally. This seems to be a recurring theme in my life; I often start with one plan in mind, but then my soul takes over, steering me in a different, yet invariably a better, direction.

Now that my book is out there for anyone to read, it feels like it’s no longer just mine. It’s a liberating feeling, though. And soon, it won’t just be an e-book – I’m working on getting it published in paperback and as an audio version too.

I’ve reached a point where I’m at peace with not knowing how my book will be received. I’ve learned to let go of that concern. After all, we can only be true to ourselves, and it’s up to others whether they see us for who we are. How my book is interpreted and what readers take from it is beyond my control. My hope is that by sharing my own journey from self-discovery to living soulfully, I might inspire or help someone else on their path. If my experiences and reflections can open even one door for someone else on their soul journey, then sharing my story will have been worth it.

I have put together another anthology called Our Forgotten Children, filled with authors who have dedicated their lives to our children and know the changes needed for them to grow in life.

I am also in another anthology book called Dare to Live Fearlessly, speaking to facing our fears.

The Voices of Classic Soul have been around the world and back again several times each as the lead singers of four of the most legendary vocal groups of all time: the Temptations, Platters, the Four Tops, and Drifters. The three singers have a back-story right out of a Hollywood movie; Coleman, Blunt & Peoples grew up singing together in church and on street corners throughout the 1960s before finding fame and fortune separately, then reuniting after 30 years to harmonize together once again.

The DanSing Pancakes’ Healthy Choices Musical Story is a new, edutaining, high-action, illustrated children’s book written in rhymes, and with a “scan and play” audiobook by voiceover narrator and actress Shayna Small and with a hot new song, written and performed by legendary Platters® lead singer Joe Coleman.

The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington [DC] proudly had a cameo part in the fun song. Please visit www.DanSingPancakes.com.

Pablo and Priscilla Pancake were born suddenly in a frying pan at a home near yours. They bathe in bowls of syrup and they attend Panfry Primary School. There they encounter “human” classmates smoking, and talking about drinking and doing drugs.

Through their adventurous story and a hot new song, the DanSing Pancakes help kids resist drugs, alcohol, and smoking while teaching them positive choices such as studying hard, eating healthy foods, and being good friends.

What readers are saying about Joe Coleman’s DanSingPancakes: “I wanted to tell you about a little boy I read it to in the play therapy room. His mother, who has struggled with addiction and is on the verge of losing him was in the lobby. He sang the song until he memorized it. He then went out to the lobby, got down on his knees in front of his mother seated in the chair, and sang it to her and made her sing it with him. Joe it was quite honestly one of the most moving things this old therapist has seen in 30 years. So that is my critique of your book through the eyes of a little boy who dearly loves his mother.”-Beth Hughes; Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and Certified Trauma Therapist who specializes in treatment of traumatized children & adolescents, and their families.

BB23-50. Dr Christiaan Willems & The Stylised Version of You®

December 11, 2023February 26, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Christiaan Willems, on air from December 12th

I have been a coach and consultant in the corporate sector for more than 20 years, specialising in non-verbal and on-camera communication. But my professional background (after leaving Consulting Engineering behind) spans some 40 years in the performing arts, music, and television. For 25 of those years I was a professional Mime artist, creating, performing, and touring solo mime shows.

One of these solo shows, titled Son of Romeo – a mime version of Romeo & Juliet created in the style of a Bugs Bunny cartoon in which I played all the parts (with no words), including: Romeo; Juliet; a cast of thousands; and one small dog – I eventually adapted for television.

This was partly in response to my Mime teacher’s suggestion that “…you can’t do Mime on television – it doesn’t work – the silence…”, and partly because of my training and experience in television (including working for the BBC in the UK), which revealed a way of not only making it work and achieving it, but by utilising the visual language and technical capabilities of television – in this case the fairly early days of Blue Screen technology – creating the ‘cartoon’ aspects which had been hugely influential in the creation of the original stage show.

Both the visual and movement styles drew heavily from a diverse and divergent range of sources, not only the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner cartoons, but also: the Sistine Chapel; Errol Flynn’s swashbuckling Robin Hood movie; nonsensical comedy; and of course Shakespeare – with the ‘live’ human performer both playing and interacting with multiple characters on screen, against painted cartoon backgrounds. So, both the mime skills and the television knowledge and technology were adapted to support and enhance each other in a rather unique combination.

Fast forward a decade or so to 2000 and I began adapting those same Mime skills to the non-verbal aspects of professional communication – for television presenters, tertiary academics, and corporate professionals. Because Mime, at its most fundamental, consists of the analysis, manipulation and stylization of body-language. And with body language representing more than 55% of human communication, there was, for me at least, an inescapable logic in applying those mime skills and techniques to professional communication (this has been borne out over the past 20 years as I have coached literally hundreds of professional and academic clients).

Fast forward another decade or so and I am formalising that notion (as well as others involving music) through my doctoral research and thesis. And it is in that research context that an apparently entirely unrelated story emerged by serendipitous chance, which, if written as a film script no-one would believe. Yet it is absolutely true. And the role of Serendipity – in both that story and in my research – is what binds these two remarkable stories together.

The deliciously pretentious title of the Doctoral thesis is: Music, Mime & Metamorphosis – which simultaneously says everything and says nothing. Yet it describes, was a catalyist for, and holds depths of meaning, experience, and stories that would never have been revealed without a chance comment by someone in 1979 in London who casually suggested, “you should try Mime Chris. You’ve got the body for it”.

So what’s Mime got to do with it? Just about everything…

Dr. Christiaan (Chris) Willems is a professional communication consultant and coach who enjoys an extensive and uniquely diverse career across: creative industries; music; award-winning international television; corporate communication, and tertiary education.

Informed by this diverse professional experience, and formalised by doctoral research, Dr Chris has specialised in non-verbal and on-camera communication for more than 20 years – applying his trademarked concept of: The Stylised Version of You^® to the professional presenting context.

Dr Chris’s unique coaching approach utilises his specialist expertise and experience in stage and screen performance – in particular 25 years as a professional Mime artist – to help professional communicators become Comfortable, Confident, Credible presenters, both live and on-camera.

Sara is authoring in 3 books

December 8, 2023January 27, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Over the next few months I will be launching three books that I have co-authored and authored.

The first one is a glimpse into my life and how I got to where I am today; My Self Discovery to Soul Living, it covers my early childhood and the obstacle of being a spiritual child who saw things she did not understand and had a knowingness that was beyond her compression.

I was a sickly child, I was given Ashama and Eczema at the age of two when the Asian flu went through England. This left me going in and out of hospital and spending days and weeks in bed when I got a cold and bronchitis. With 4 white walls looking at me, I had no option but to dimensional travel for my sanity.

This led to opening my soul and spirit to seeing things others did not see ,and showed me that my connection with the divine was where my truth and purpose laid and my heart was full with it. This presented an issue in the world as being a spiritual being was not fashionable and not always a safe place to be in this human world. Living as a human was very difficult for me as trying to fit in was like a round shape trying to fit in a triangle.

I speak to my journey of my Self Discovery into whom I am today living in my cosmic truth and purpose. E-BOOK LAUNCHED NOW

I am also proud to be a part of this book on Dare To Live Fearlessly, speaking to our fears and how to overcome them. It launches January 2024 and is available to pre-order December 29th. Alexandria the conductor of this book is also an author in Our Forgotten Children Book. Hear Alexandria’s story HERE

Our Forgotten Children’s book speaks Our Children who Represent Our Future. They Are The Promise Of Our Nations, Carrying Forward Our Traditions, Our Values, And Our Aspirations. However, It’s Disheartening To See That We Are Consistently Failing To Provide Them With The Resources, Opportunities, And Support They Need To Thrive. Our authors speak to the issues and what we can apply as solutions to seed and help grow our wonderful children.

A summit with the authors is coming mid January, the book launches in February and in March there will be “Ask the Author’s” platform, where readers can ask each authors on the subject of their chapter and cause.

To see the full line up of authors and summit event and launch on February 20th go here.

Being a part of these books has been an honour, and finally sharing my own story was a journey in its self. Even though have been podcasting for nearly 12 years with my own network, and blogging for over 20 years; writing a book revealing your past and how I came to be where I am now, was an experience in its self, one where I learned a great deal about my self.

Contributing to the Dare to be Fearless book was a reflection of my own fear, and writing in Our Forgotten Children’s book, amongst such other authors was yet a challenge but also a realization of a dream to produce this book finally after 5 years of dreaming of it.

Though we have a dream and it does come into view straight away, if we allow, it will come when the people and the time is right, and then, many doors open tapping into the good vibrations of a collectiveness and inspirations.

This is the time and with more collaborative books to come, I have tapped into the positive energy and I allow my waters to run free and allow what ever is to be, to be. .
