RAISING OUR GIFTED CHILDREN with Sara Troy and her guest Dimitri Moraitis. On air from November 3rd

His latest book, Martin & the Light Beams of Amalius, is a middle-grade fantasy about finding hope when life feels overwhelming and discovering that even the smallest spark can make a difference.
Dimitri is the co-author of the international bestseller Change Your Aura, Change Your Life, Communing with the Divine, Karma and Reincarnation, The Healing Power of Your Aura and Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolution.

Award-Winning Author and Spiritual Teacher Dimitri Moraitis pens an enchanting middle-grade adventure that celebrates hope, imagination, and discovering the light within.

Martin & the Light Beams of Amalius is an engaging read for children who love fantasy while offering families meaningful opportunities to talk about resilience, kindness, courage, and navigating difficult emotions.

Martin loves looking at the planets and stars, finding wonder in the vastness of the universe. But at home, his parents’ constant arguing has left him anxious, isolated, and ready to run away. Then Amalius—a remarkable beam of light—appears and offers Martin the chance to transform into a beam of light himself. Martin enters a dazzling cosmic world filled with extraordinary characters, including fearless General Romaine, radiant Diva, and mischievous Rag-a-Muffin. But the adventure takes an unexpected turn when Martin learns that Amalius’s home planet is facing a crisis that could destroy it. Suddenly, the boy who thought he had no power to change his own circumstances must find the courage to help save an entire world.

Through friendship, imagination, compassion, and courage, Martin discovers that the greatest source of light isn’t somewhere out in the universe—it is within him.

In an interview, Dimitri Moraitis can discuss:

How children can find inner light during difficult family times: Martin uses cosmic wonder to cope with his parents’ constant arguments and overwhelming isolation.

The healing power of creative imagination: How transforming into a beam of light serves as a beautiful metaphor for a child finding courage, healing, and hope.

Simple, time-tested meditation with color: A practice called reflective meditation is a way to release anxiety and build confidence that parents can do with their children, or children can practice on their own.

The process of creating the unique characters of Amalius: The colorful, unforgettable cast of light beams like the fearless General Romaine, the radiant Diva, and the mischievous Rag-a-Muffin, and the character-building qualities they represent.

How personal difficulties can turn into a vital mission to help others: Martin discovers that the light beams on Amalius’s home planet face a crisis that threatens their very existence.

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Barbara Wiseman. On air from November 3rd

The Earth Organization (TEO) is a science and logic based environmental solutions non-profit. After observing that, despite 80-plus years of environmental conservation and restoration messages being shouted from media rooftops, so many people don’t know what to do in their own lives to help be part of the solution to restore the health of our planet. Worse, people commonly think that, to achieve a healthier planet, mankind can’t flourish and prosper and the economy must be suppressed. The organization is dedicated to educating people on rational solutions that not only benefit nature, but also people, jobs, and business and industry, as well.

Learning about the importance of helping others is basic to living a successful and happy life. In this podcast we speak to that and how is serves our children and adults.

RG26-43. Michelle Grace & I’m Right Here

October 26, 2026October 25, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Michelle Grace. On air from October 27th

As the world continues to become more digital, screen-time often replaces real, meaningful human connection. It’s easy to feel disconnected, even from our own children.
Michelle Grace, who was inspired to write I’m Right Here when she had her daughter via surrogacy, will talk about how she found a connection to her daughter through play and imagination. The book is a letter to her daughter and is a tool for all parents navigating connection with their children.

Becoming a mother awakened something deep within Michelle, helping her rediscover parts of herself she thought were lost. After years of feeling disconnected from her creativity, motherhood reawakened her imagination and opened a new chapter of self-discovery. Her journey through surrogacy led her to explore how parents and children build attachment, trust, and connection, with imaginative play becoming a bridge between her and her daughter. Her book, I’m Right Here, is both a love letter to her daughter and a tribute to her own mother. Having lost her mother to cancer at nineteen, Michelle found that becoming a mother deepened her understanding of her own mother’s love and the enduring legacy of maternal love across generations.

RG26-43. A Child First, Down Syndrome Second

October 26, 2026October 26, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Tasha Shearer. On air from October 27th

Tasha says that raising a young child with DS is not unlike raising a neurotypical child in many ways, but there are some definitive differences that can often feel overwhelming and scary. By sharing our story about a loved one with down syndrome hopefully we can demystify and destigmatize people with DS and their families. Often the biggest barriers are not my child himself but the expectations and rigidity of those expectations that we hold in society.

Understanding Down Syndrome

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. It can affect a person’s physical development, learning, and communication, but every individual has their own unique abilities, personality, and potential. With love, encouragement, understanding, and the right support, people with Down syndrome can live joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.

Children with Down syndrome benefit from the same things all children need: love, belonging, encouragement, patience, stimulation, and opportunities to discover what they can do.

We sometimes focus so much on what a child might struggle with that we overlook their individuality and potential.

A child with Down syndrome is a child first. The extra chromosome is part of their biology, not the entirety of who they are. And this connects beautifully with the philosophy of self-discovery: seeing the person, not simply the condition.

They are not defined by an extra chromosome, but by who they are as individuals, with their own gifts, dreams, and contributions to our world.

Your body is built using a massive set of instruction manuals called chromosomes, which normally come in 23 pairs (46 total). In Down syndrome, a person inherits a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21, bringing the total to 47. Having three sets of instructions instead of two causes those specific genes to work overtime, producing an excess of certain proteins. Because chromosome 21 carries hundreds of genes active in nearly all tissues during early development, this overload alters the signals shaping the brain, heart, digestive tract, and facial features all at once.

I have never intimately known someone with DS before having Louie, many things were a learning curve for me. I just want to normalize this genetic difference, normalize my family and this life.

RG26-41. “Eugene the Wayward Frog.” by Cornelius Wright

October 12, 2026October 12, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Cornelius (Neo) Wright. On air from October 13th

My “why” comes from a desire to turn ideas, stories, and opportunities into something that can genuinely impact people’s lives. Through CDJ Books and Eugene, the Wayward Frog, I want to remind people that having a dream is only the beginning—it takes courage to step beyond what is familiar, take responsibility for your choices, and pursue the possibilities that are waiting on the other side of fear. My goal is to build a publishing company that doesn’t just create books, but creates opportunities for authors, entrepreneurs, independent businesses, and everyday people to participate in something meaningful. Ultimately, I want to inspire people to believe in their ideas, believe in themselves, and have the courage to take the first step toward creating the life and future they envision.

I’m Neo Wright, an entrepreneur, author, and founder and CEO of CDJ Books. My journey has always been driven by a belief that ideas can become something much bigger when you’re willing to pursue them with persistence and purpose. That journey eventually led me into publishing and to the creation of Eugene, the Wayward Frog, a story that reflects many of the same themes I’ve experienced in my own life—dreaming beyond what is familiar, taking chances, learning from the journey, and finding your own way. Today, through CDJ Books, I’m building more than a publishing company; I’m creating a platform that brings books, authors, businesses, and new opportunities together. Behind the business, I’m simply someone who loves creating, connecting with people, and turning ideas that start as a vision into something real.
