RK18-38 “King Zoom the Vegan Kid” Sharing Animal Compassion

September 17, 2018July 28, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guests Kid Zoom THE Vegan Kid and Mum Gillian Walters.

Most children are taught to take the best care of their companion animals. They love them and feed them, pamper them and make sure they are not harmed, but at the same time, we live in a society that teaches us that it is okay to eat pigs for breakfast, chickens for lunch, and cows for dinner. It is estimated that 60 billion land animals and 90 billion marine animals are killed for food each year. These numbers do not include the millions of animals killed in other areas of exploitation. Find out how King Zoom makes sense of this and what you can do to help save animals.

Saving the Planet with Compassion

I was born Vegan.
I learned that we drank almond milk because cow’s milk was for baby cows. Eating plant-based foods was just normal for me (and delicious!).
Growing up I learned that we didn’t visit zoos and marine parks because the animals inside these places were not happy.
As I got older I learned more about animals used for food, entertainment, clothing and in laboratories. I felt confused as to why this was happening to animals. I just knew that I had to do something to make a change, so I got active!
My activism started when I was about 7 years old. I felt so sad about the earthquake in Haiti that I wanted to do something. So I asked friends to donate money to Doctors without Borders instead of birthday gifts for me.
For several years I made freshly squeezed lemonade and sold it to raise money for local animal rescue groups.
?Since then I have attended marches, peaceful protests, gathered signatures for
? Bill S-203, spoken with local government, leafleted, created posters and chalked!
? I have had an active part in making history; including the Ban on Cetaceans in Captivity at the Vancouver Aquarium and the biggest Animal Rights March in San Fransisco!
?But my favourite activism is speaking about Veganism and visiting sanctuaries.

UK Therapist and the founder of Conscious Parenting, Sally Saint, shares her inspiring story, tips for the new school season, and how allowing your child to express his/her emotions, feel his/her feelings, and allow themselves to be vulnerable during the first few days of the new school year and beyond can lead to a healthy and memorable year, both for you and your child/children.

“Do not close your eyes and ears if you are not a parent, for the deepest parenting journey is of self.” (Sally Saint) Sally Saint is a UK-based therapist, energy healer, artist, and the founder of Conscious Parenting, serving as a support worker for families whose children have learning difficulties and behavioural challenges.
Sally’s life has taken her down many paths and has seen her walk through challenging terrain, but it was the creation and birth of her son Edward, that gave her the key to unlocking the door of transformation in a deep and profound way. The qualification, the spiritual work, the books she read, all slotted into place when her journey of motherhood began to unfold. Now, with her passion and expertise, she connects with others across the planet, to offer the wisdom she has unlocked on her own epic journey.
Sally has over 16 years of experience in working with energy to facilitate healing for clients around the world, being a trained Reiki practitioner, reflexologist, and massage therapist, having a natural ability to read the energy of another (in person or via distance), then to actively work with the person’s energy to release any blockages and facilitate expansion. Her artwork, a constant friend and companion since childhood, is another example of how she is able to directly connect with her clients in a very deep and meaningful way to facilitate healing and release.
Sally’s purpose is to hold the space for those parents who are navigating their own healing and parenting journeys so they can remain in direct contact with their hearts. She has absolute faith in the transformation of self, from societal-led to heart-led lives.
After working at her child’s school, an independent, Montessori-inspired school, which has a rehabilitation unit attached to it (the only one of its kind in the UK), Sally was able to see how the lives of children were turned around. She believes that children can shift from their trauma to become fully happy and vibrant beings when given the right tools.

Giggles and Joy gives new perspectives on everyday life, by celebrating

topics like Mother Earth in unique ways, a child’s growing body and all its remarkable abilities, and the importance of sleep. The book lovingly articulates the power of subjects like kindness and gratitude, and also of bad days as well. She helps the reader transform tough moments by infusing them with a new light, paving the way for an unexpected, yet welcome lesson. Giggles and Joy demonstrate the power each child carries within. Through the words found in this delightful book, images are created of a world beyond what is in front of the reader. She has created a world that gives voice to a child’s spiritual nature.

You Are Loved centres on the concept that love is everywhere, breaking it down into examples so practical and relatable that speaks to a child on a soulful level. This radiant book transcends the mysteries of life into a thing of beauty; life can be happy and sad, confusing and exciting. Difficult experiences like illness, scary issues like dealing with change, and confusing matters like coping with grown-ups’ emotions are all touched on with meaningful morsels of wisdom, tapping into the soul, helping children remember their inner light.

Being You breathes energy into a child’s essential connection to nature,

terrestrial and spiritual. Touching upon subjects like God (while honouring the abundance of diverse spiritual beliefs), in telling the truth and the importance of breathing, this sweet book empowers children to believe in their strength of character. Readers are encouraged to take charge of their lives by listening to their heart and thinking for themselves. Being You nurtures the children who read it, wrapping them in a cloak of love and light, teaching them that they have the tools on the inside to heal, to overcome, to be who they are.

Ariane describes the books as being “‘spiritual’ in that they are imbued with love, optimism, humour, honesty and common sense.” They do not promote or offend anyone’s sense of God or the Universe. They exist beautifully next to anyone’s beliefs. It is urgent that we take care of our children’s spirit as much as their minds and bodies.”

Ariane also works with grown-ups on similar topics! She has embarked on a mission to integrate amazing transformational content into bite-size daily practices for busy people. Her new iOS and Android app, Mindful365, is a program that helps boost your spirit one day at a time. It provides a daily practice to focus on: a question to ask, an idea to contemplate, an emotion to focus on or let go of, or an action to take. Mindful365 allows you to do one small thing each day to know more about yourself.

Ariane writes, coaches and speaks frequently on issues of personal and professional change, happiness and inspiration, entrepreneurship, women in the workplace, parenting and the topic of mindful living and conscious business. She is passionate about helping raise happy, conscious, healthy and empowered kids. She is a bestselling author, a speaker and has previously worked in the varied fields of consulting, big media, Venture Capital and startups. She considers herself a global soul having lived all over the world. Ariane has appeared on dozens of TV and radio shows, including NBC’s Today Show, the CBS Early Show, CNN and ABC News Now. She recently completed a TED Residency in New York and her TED Talk on Life Skills for young kids will be available soon.

TH18-29 Feroze Dada, author of “Children Of The Revolution”

July 16, 2018September 23, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Feroze Dada, on air from July 17th

Children of the Revolution A Spiritual Journey to Burma and Buddhism – A Powerful and Compelling Story of Heroism & Hope By Feroze Dada. Endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Children of the Revolution is a truly inspiring story about Feroze Dada, a Chartered Accountant from London, and his chance meeting with a freedom fighter and a Buddhist monk in Myanmar which transforms the lives of a great many orphaned and abandoned children being looked after in a remote monastery on the shores of Lake Inle by making the monastery financially independent – setting up a drinking water bottling plant and establishing a teaching programme. At the same time, the journey they take provides him with a deep and enduring sense of purpose and self-discovery.

His Holiness the Dalai Lamai has said – “Feroze Dada, gives a moving account of a monk’s work and talks about his own efforts to support a school and a care centre for destitute Burmese children started by the monk in his monastery. I offer my prayers for their success.” Children of the Revolution is not simply a book about Myanmar’s journey towards a new freedom, with all of the complexity that freedom brings. It is also a story of the author’s own journey: as a Muslim absorbing Buddhist philosophy and in so doing building a bridge towards peace which offers a transformative vision about how to live a meaningful life that will bring education and hope to thousands of Burmese children. Children of the Revolution is Feroze Dada’s first book. All proceeds of the book go to the monastery school and orphanage at Inle, Phaya Taung. Feroze Dada set up the Inle Trust Charity www.inletrust.org.uk to provide the relief of poverty and education in Myanmar and has so far has set up educational, healthcare and water facilities at the monastery.

The story behind Ko Yin Fresh Drinking Water

We were travelling on a small boat on Inle Lake when a freak storm hit the lake. We were put ashore in the village of Phaya Taung and were given shelter by the monks. What happened next changed our lives……….and we are now looking to change the lives of 1000 abandoned and orphaned children at the monastery.

Whilst staying at the monastery I discovered this clean mountain water source on the monastery land. Because of malaria and water-borne diseases, there is a huge need & demand for bottled water. It is clear that given the Monk’s reputation and the good work they are doing that the people in the surrounding towns and villages would buy this bottled water knowing that every bottle that they buy will pay for one meal for a young school child.

Feroze was born in Karachi. He has lived and worked for most of his life in London and is married to MuMu (Farida) Maung Dada. Having qualified as a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax advisor he was Managing Partner of his private client tax practice in London Mayfair for 25 years. Feroze is also a guest interviewer with TVapex, a community TV channel where he has interviewed everyone from a Buddhist monk to the legendary Andrea Bocelli on the subject of humanity.

MA18-28 Bully Busting 101 with Doug Setter

June 24, 2018July 23, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Doug Setter, on air from July 3rd

Bully Busting 101

The current “Nanny State” approach to bullying has failed in many ways:

The victim has to rely on an institution to protect them.
The schools set up an environment that not only encourages bullying but sets the school up for liability. (A friend’s son was punched at school, and following the school’s policy, put his hands behind his back and walked away. The bully was allowed to hit others without fear of punishment.)
The bully label is overused. A suspect and real bullies are being accused and bullied into not bullying.

One of the myths of bullying is that school shooters were driven to the act of destruction. When in reality, school shooters were usually the biggest bullies with inflated egos and other bullies were NOT targeted.

The usual targets of bullying are the kids from different ethnic backgrounds, single-parent families and who have moved frequently. Less stability, less home life and definitely less authority figures. There is less respect for elders, fathers, mothers, teachers and law enforcement. Teachers have little authority, police are constantly suspended and criticized and even military instructors are charged over the wrong comment.

This lack of authority makes the students and workers feel unsafe around bullies. Even young, “teen” elephants will calm down and stop destroying things in the company of older male elephants.

The overcrowding of classrooms, distressed family life, disconnected youth, the lack of Physical Education and exploiting media take away the confidence of young people. Instead of talking with friends (about what jerks certain people are) or taking action, children rely on the passive, media advice and ever-shifting school and work policies.

30 years ago, even when bullied at school, there were opportunities for other students to shun the bully or for the victim to fight his/her way up the food chain. Sometimes giving a bully a good threat or a kick-in-the-butt was enough to stop months and months of daily harassment and berating.

The individual has to be able to say, “Hey, that is out of line,” to the guilty parties.

In high school, I recall seeing the hockey team captain, twisting his girlfriend’s arm and laughing while she screamed. No one said anything. I was really surprised at all of the “cool” people just standing by. It was about then, I realized that “the cavalry is not coming to the rescue.” One has to rely on their own initiative for self-protection.

Later, in the military, I saw a trial of a trainee who committed sexual assault and clinically mentally ill instructor bully, harass and hurt trainees and staff. None of the high commands did anything until I took unofficial action against both of these criminals.

This does not mean physically harming others or doing malicious acts. Even self-defence involves humane “reasonable force.” It does mean that the person has to build some moral fibre and self-confidence on their own. While they do not have to buy a gun, hire a bodyguard or become a martial arts master. It does mean having a sense of self and self-confidence. That can only happen with the individual and not over-sensitivity or over-protection.

The “karate-mill” martial arts businesses are not really doing much service, either. They water down their training to gain more students and leave many students with a false sense of confidence.
