C15/49b Nancyland books, reach for Mars, the Moon and the Sky!

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Nancy Guettier aired December 8th

Singer-songwriter and children’s book author Nancy Guettier inspires children with her See It-Believe It-Achieve-It Mantra. Through her five award-winning, acclaimed Nancyland books, she empowers children to be the best version of themselves-and even reach for Mars, the Moon and the Sky! 

88330647

Guettier finds inspiration in each of her children to write entertaining and educational stories. Guettier’s style is whimsical and fun, making learning effortless.  Each of her children’s books have a holistic approach with educational twists.

Guettier has produced an award-winning short film based on Mermaids on Mars complete with her original songs. It has been invited to and won various film festivals including Best Animated Short at the Carmel International Film Festival, Best Animation at the LA Underground Film Festival, LA Children’s Film Festival and others.  This will likely inspire a full-length film and a TV series, according to the author.

“Just like in nature you can’t force a tree to grow it just does -so I surrendered my ego and let go and amazing things happened. That is what led me to where I am today, a thriving business, fluid creative thoughts, the right people on my path, loving kids and a supportive partner by my side,” stated Guettier.

Some of Guettier’s secrets for success are: she cleanses her body four times a year and make sure she takes care of herself so she can provide for her kids and keep a youthful healthy appearance. She believes in putting her best self forward to deliver a positive message:  “You need to live the life you want to present to the world.  Mind body and spirit all illuminated to shine onto others while shining bright inside yourself and your home,” Guettier shares. Habitat for Humanity receives a portion of Nancyland book proceeds.

86903051Nancy Guettier, an emerging author of children’s books, is committed to inspiring and encouraging kids to enjoy learning new things. With a background of more than 25 years in the children’s industry, Nancy has provided retail visual merchandising for Gapkids™ and BabyGap™. She used to hold the position of VP of Visual Merchandising for Pottery Barn Kids and PBTeen™ before leaving to pursue her calling.        

Personal Inspiration

After adopting her three children, Nancy was inspired to write books that are not only appealing and whimsical, but that also provide educational content. Most importantly, she feels strongly about offering kids the opportunity to learn about new topics.

TSM 15/44 The Mastery of Birthing a Child

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 2 Comments

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Juta Wohlrab aired November 3rd

11666028_958763227496918_3728869341000034377_nEveryone deserves the best start in life 

Pizzas, parcels, good news bad news are delivered but babies should be really born.

How To Make A Birth Plan                                       

Over the last few years, when hospitals have become increasingly busy and understaffed, creating a birth plan can be a great way to express your hopes and wishes about your upcoming birth. A birth plan will help to ensure that everybody involved in the birth understands what it is you really want.

After months of doing the labour of love, filming and creating …finally, my first “Baby “is born.

IT is my online program for parents to be.

3bcd31fHello, my name is  Jutta Wohlrab and I have been a midwife for over  30 years. I’ve helped bring over 2800 babies into this world and there’s nothing I haven’t seen when it comes to pregnancy, labour and birth. I created the Happy Birthing Days online course so that you and other expectant mothers can learn how to give birth, how birth really works and what to do to make labour easier for you, your baby and your birth partner.

The Happy Birthing Days online course is made up of three modules, each designed to educate you enough so that you know what to do, when to do it, and what decisions to make during your pregnancy, labor, and birth.

The start for this fantastic platform for parents-to-be is:

Happy Birthing Days inside Elements Of Birth my online childbirth education system.

In 60 videos that around 5 to 15 min long  I explain and share my knowledge, exercises, tips and tricks and everything I and my parents to be find effective and useful.

51Ie1SqnJ3LHappy Birthing Theory, Happy Birthing Body, and Happy Birthing Mind 

I have taught my class already for many years and hundreds of parents have greatly benefited from it.

After more than 30 years of helping and supporting mothers to be in the world, I am asking you to support me. If you have a pregnant friend, sister, daughter, colleague, or anyone else, could you please be so kind as to share my information?

I  put a lot of  unique  exercises , theories and even great stuff from Hypnosis and NLP into my Program In times of 30 to 80 %of a C-section rate , the highest intervention rate at birth ever I felt the need to create a program that women all over the world can easily access to achieve a joyful, fearless safe and happy birth FOR BOTH MOTHER AND CHILD                                                                                                                                                                    CLICK ON BOOK TO BUY

409482_10151157495065475_196789950474_22872141_1634854334_nMy life’s work is and has been for more than 30 years to make pregnancy, birth, and the time after a better experience. To summarize, as an international midwife with years of experience, I’ve put all my best tips, trick,s and advice into this online course. Having a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can have. You owe it to yourself and your baby to educate yourself and those around you with the best birth and pregnancy advice so that you can truly have the birth you want. With hours and hours of video tutorials all designed to help you this is the best gift you can give yourself and your baby.

I very much look forward to seeing you inside the online course.

With Love

C15/41 An African-American girl Lori Leak Travels To Paris

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest  Barrett Clemmensen Powell aired from October 13th-on

This project is so close to my heart. In fact, Lori Leak is my heart. She is me.

The story we tell ourselves about anything is the reality we manifest in our lives. The effect of that story can be seen in our lives in the reality we create for ourselves. With Lori Leak, I am able to tell a story from the heart about a father-daughter bond, a family, and exploring the world.

Lori wonders why her father didn’t make it home for story time the night before but soon the curious, intelligent daughter of Lawrence and Adelle Leak learns that it was because he was preparing them for a great adventure. Lori and her parents are travelling across an ocean to Paris, France!

This funny, heartwarming story of an African-American girl and her parents exploring the beautiful and charming sights of Paris will make you laugh and feel good. Written from the heart by an intercultural consultant and author Barrett Clemmensen Powell and richly illustrated by award-winning animator Kristen Palana, it is a children’s book keepsake.

Barrett says that travelling for visiting, or living in other cultures is central to my heart. You learn so much about yourself and your origins when you spend time with other other people in their country and culture. Building bridges across cultures and between people is my mission, and travelling empowers me to accomplish my goal.

Books are treasures and I am in deep gratitude that in my lifetime I have been blessed with the talent and afforded the opportunity to create a character who looks like me and a story/book that shows African-American family life. I am especially thankful to my talented and patient illustrator, (and both kindred native New Englander and expatriate) Kristen Palana. gave my story rich and vibrant colours — like my vision.

TSM15/32 Playing to Reduce Stress in Kids

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Michele Kambolis from Harbourside Family Counseling Centre aired August 11th

One in five children has a diagnosable mental disorder; one in eight experienced clinical levels of anxiety. Amidst these extremes, every family must deal with some level of childhood stress: worries about changes at home, school pressures and scary headlines. What caused this surge in anxiety in our young people? How can parents combat this? Esteemed child and family therapist Michele Kambolis combine theory and practical, play- based activity to help this ‘generation stressed’.

group-therapy-560x373 (1)

Kambolis shows how to translate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques from her book Generation Stressed into fun, playful exercises that can be practised by parents with their children. CBT is the top, evidence-based toolset to reduce childhood anxiety; it teaches children powerful ways to change their thinking patterns and actions to decrease stress and increase resiliency.

Topics include:

Michele-Kambolis1-560x660Children experiencing high levels of anxiety are more likely to be physically sick, experience additional social problems, suffer from weakened brain development, and be less financially independent in later life. At a time when mental health is at the forefront of many parents’ priorities, Kambolis demystifies methods that ensure our children’s mental well-being. At the heart of these methods is a focus on joyful parenting and the relationship between parent and child.

Michele Kambolis (MA) is a registered Child and Family Therapist and Parent Educator dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues. She is currently pursuing her PhD program in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University and is passionate about supporting global health initiatives. Her book, Generation Stressed, has received widespread praise from therapists, families and media alike. Kambolis writes a popular weekly parenting advice column, Parent Traps, for The Vancouver Sun.

Michele shares with us an easy to use handbook which offers original, engaging and effective exercises developed by Kambolis that you can use at home, on the road and in social settings to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety in your child.
