Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara troy and her guest Norma Jean Maxwell, on air from January 31st
After working in the public school system over the last 2 decades, I watched the slow decline and clawing back of resources for those kids that don’t learn well in a classroom setting. I watched the schools fade out and move away from teaching basic foundation literacy and math skills into a more politicized agenda and I watched more and more bright children fall through the cracks – getting to high school, still unable to read and do basic math.
It’s heartbreaking to me when I see a child, who could be very successful, fail to fulfill their potential because they are not being taught in a way that makes sense to them. After many years of successfully supporting and teaching these kids and being unable to find a program that incorporates all the components needed for early literacy, I decided to create my own based on my training and many years of successes with children.
Every child can learn and if they aren’t, we need to look to the teacher to find out why not!
I am the MOM of two grown young men who both had learning challenges and struggled in the current school system. They were the square pegs that didn’t quite fit in the round holes. I also have a brother who has dyslexia and I saw how his negative school experience left lasting scars (additions, being the tough guy to compensate for feeling stupid).
I worked in the Surrey public school system for 18 years in special Ed, until I retired a couple years ago… mostly out of frustration over the current system’s failures
I am a trained Orton Gillingham Therapeutic Tutor which means I am a reading & spelling specialist and I’m a Behaviour Interventionist with extension experience working with kids on the spectrum.
And after watching my own kids’ struggles and also seeing all the kids, bright kids, that are falling through the cracks because they are not getting the support they need and deserve, I developed my own teaching model based on my Orton Gillingham training and my personal experience. It is a multi-sensory, fun & playful approach that works for all kids and keeps them engaged
I have a lot of success stories under my belt and it’s because I’ve seen how effective my methods are that I created Time to Shine Teaching, the training and the resources that will help best support a child’s learning.
I have watched with amazement as a child flourishes with the right instruction and support… I have lots of stories…
I also strongly disagreed with the CV protocols that the schools implemented and I think we won’t know all the lasting implications for many years… teachers and kids wearing masks limited the children’s exposure to proper language and social/emotional development. I also think we instilled too much fear in our children (of others, of themselves…)
My avatar is really homeschool parents (and public school parents) who recognize that the school system is failing our kids and who are looking for a better way to teach their children.
FREE GIVEAWAY: Landing page for free Letter pack #1
I am creating my Time to Shine Level I Phonics course. It is a very comprehensive course that provides everything a teacher/parent would need to teach reading, spelling & printing. Not only is it scripted to support the educator/parent while they learn the system, but it also includes a video tutorial that show exactly how to conduct the lesson for each letter. This letter pack includes all the downloadable materials & videos needed to teach the first 5 letters I teach. Note: I do not teach in alphabetical but rather in an order that allows the child to start reading, spelling and printing in 2-3 letters!

Nature of Addictions with Sara Troy and her guest Jason Umidi, on air from January 24th
Sobriety has a wonderful way of bringing all things into the light, if you’re willing. Detox finally opened the door to sustained sobriety for actor Jason Umidi on January 10, 2012. Gratitude for a life that’s been redeemed and restored permeates his entire being. His sobriety requires him to live in the moment and his faith asks him to lead a life of service, loving as he has been loved.
After being clean and sober for a couple of years, Jason was looking to share his personal journey on Facebook in the hopes that someone might be encouraged by his story. This developed into a series of popular, short blog posts about addiction, recovery, and hope, known as “Today’s One Minute Reads.” Jesus & Seltzer is Jason’s curated collection of his One Minute Reads.
In Jesus and Seltzer, Jason starts each inspiration page with a quote by a person, actor or character, from which he has gathered strength in his daily journey in sobriety.
In this interview, Jason talks about:
How to get back with God after all the disappointments in life and with yourself
How to find hope, love and redemption in the recovery journey
What is serenity and can it be truly attained
How to handle regrets without relapsing
What do you do when you want to escape reality again
Finding your sense of purpose during the journey
Recalls painful times as an actor that made him feel like he needed to numb the emotions
Dealing with holidays and family drama during sobriety
3 things You can do to jumpstart your journey for sobriety
As a pastor’s kid who grew up in the church, Jason had his fair share of Sunday services. However, none of them prepared him for the disappointments in life – whether it was the relationship that didn’t work out, the dream job that never materialized, the loss of health, or the death of a loved one. For most, it’s simply the dreams that never came into fruition. Church and its collection of “do’s & don’ts” for how to live your life didn’t soothe his broken soul. His faith faltered during his personal struggles, as the chronic pain from 5 spine fusion surgeries overwhelmed him and his bipolar depression left him feeling empty and dead. Jason found alcohol, prescription opioids and fentanyl to be a much better comfort. In 2012, Jason began his sober journey. His renewed life in the spirit promises that all things work together for good for those who love God, and are called according to his purpose. Jason is now helping others as a recovery coach. He is the author of the new book,

Bethany Meadows has been a mompreneur for almost 20 years and understands firsthand about the “juggle” of running a business and raising a family.
In 2008, after going through a divorce and wanting to continue homeschooling her five children, starting her own business seemed like the answer. Using her previous experience as a corporate marketing executive, Bethany founded Vertical Solutions Media, a full-service brand and marketing agency that helps businesses grow and succeed.
Her first book, Getting A Grip: Build A Custom Parenting Plan That Actually Works was published in 2017. In Getting A Grip, Bethany shares her insights on intentional parenting objectives and creating a framework for meeting them.

Finding success and balance as a mompreneur gives the reader the benefit of 30 years of brand and marketing experience to help them grow their business. At the same time, she explores how to strike the right balance, remove friction, build a tribe and find parenting success.
Bethany Meadows started Vertical Solutions Media in June of 2008. At the time it was a financial solution for a homeschooling single mom of five children. Relying on her extensive marketing background, Bethany continued to grow the company and today, Vertical Solutions Media is a full-service marketing agency based in Birmingham, Alabama. For over 14 years they have provided marketing consulting and services to dozens of companies in a vast array of industries.
The company’s mission has always been Reinventing Success. This is an acknowledgement that every business owner’s path to success will look different.
Time to Thrive was created out of a desire to serve those small businesses who find themselves unsure how to take their business to the next level. Becoming stagnant in your business is not an option. It’s your choice whether or not you will THRIVE.
As part of that mission, Bethany launched TimeToThriveMembership.com as a way of helping small business owners level up their sales and marketing skills.
