Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Dawn Marie Westmoreland aired from May 19th on.
Dawn Marie Westmoreland author of The Empowered Whistleblower: A Practical and Spiritual Path to Personal Power, prompted the need for a foundation for women being bullied in their workplace.
The Foundation of Respect is a non-profit organisation established by Dawn to help empower women who are being bullied in the workplace. The Foundation of Respect offers women the ability to seek guidance through coaching, speaking engagements, on-line training, and free tips. The Foundation of Respect also offers women the ability to recover and to step into their personal power, feeling more confident and empowered. Dawn is constantly sought out by media to discuss the mission and underlying story of The Foundation of Respect.
Dawn Marie Westmoreland is a speaker, writer, “breakthrough” coach, and hypnotherapist.
She used to be a former leader in hiding! She used to hide from being her greatest self. Why? Dawn was scared of her power and was afraid of failure. She was also disappointing a lot of people because she was not living in her zone of genius, but the hardest critic was herself. After many struggles and lessons, she learned how to achieve everything she set out to do that is alignment with her goals and values. Dawn took her past challenges and made them into triumphs. After working 25 years in the government, she took the initiative and left an unfulfilling career to now help empower professional women who are struggling to get through their “blocks” and realising their zone of genius.
Dawn is a retired Air Force veteran, who worked in many special duties and leadership positions. Learning has always been her forte and she studied leadership, earning a masters in management and human resources. Her curiosity of learning enabled Dawn to earn other degrees and certifications such as horticulture, business, life coaching, and hypnotherapy. With many years of experience, she uses these tools to help women “shift” into their true potential, in a powerful and quick transformation. Women learn how to command respect and step into their personal power in a shorter measure of time than other methods. Dawn is living her life with passion and designing every day with an alignment of her values as she teaches her clients to fulfil their own destiny as they see fit.

Originally Aired on July 15th, 2014 on Positive Living Vibrations Roundtable with Sara Troy and her guests Kathy Gambill and Colonel John Pettit
The dignity of a veteran should always be honoured for their service to their country. So why are so many coming home to nothing? We should not just celebrate them for dying for their country, but be there for them now in rebuilding their lives. They are shattered, they have had to do things that no man or woman should have to do, they are suffering from post-traumatic syndrome and many are unable to work. They are not the same people they were when they left, how can they be? they need help and support more than ever in that they can find dignity, meaning, and purpose once again in their lives.
Today we talk about the stress and anxiety and depression and what is being done to help the veterans to find a prosperous life again. Kathy Gambill and Colonel John Pettit are helping their soldiers regain their dignity and sanity with support and a nutrient called Q96. I have used this myself and know in how it helps, and if we can help the veterans around the world regain their lives, then let us find a way to do it.
Kathy Gambill
My background with the military goes back to 2006 thru 2010 When I was elected President of the “Everett Navy League”. This was not a paid position, but truly a labour of Love. Fundraising in the community and a very generous group of businessmen and women afforded me to supply our Navy families, with much-needed support.
My latest involvement with the Military is very exciting, but a much different path. A little over a year ago I was introduced to a Micronutrient that was helping restore tens of thousands of people’s lives who suffer from everything from mild and severe stress and depression to ADHD and many other brain disorders. The 25 clinical studies were very impressive, and the people I shared the product with were getting better. One of the people I was introduced to, who was desperately looking for help, happened to be COL Pettit’s daughter in law who was suffering from a severe case of Anxiety and also depression. I worked with her over approximately a 3 week period. COL Pettit was taking notice of her amazing recovery and that is when I was introduced to John. Little did I know that this was the beginning of a new and exciting project to help our Veterans overcome the challenges and the debilitating effects of what COL Pettit calls mind wounds. And our new project began. We have been working with active duty and veterans who are suffering the effects of long tours of combat duty, past and present.

THE COMPANION STORY TO “AMERICAN SNIPER” ABOUT NAVY SEAL RYAN “BIGGLES” JOB
An exhilarating story of a young Navy SEAL whose relentless faith transformed his life and inspired everyone who knew his courageous story.
Faith, duty, the belief you will come home and gratitude for life are the lessons here in Ryan Job’s story.
In A Warrior’s Faith, Ryan Job’s close friend, Robert Vera, recounts how the highly decorated Navy SEAL’s unstoppable sense of humour, positive attitude, and fierce determination helped him survive after being shot in the face by an enemy sniper on a roof in Ramadi, Iraq.
Though blinded, the irrepressible Job recovered from his wounds and began facing a new set of obstacles with his characteristic humor and resolve. He married the girl of his dreams, hunted elk, climbed Mt. Rainier, graduated college with honours, influenced countless people around him, and was looking forward to being a father—before his life was tragically cut short by a hospital medical error.
Vera’s raw, often funny, and heartfelt account of his friend’s life offers readers a way to find hope in the middle of life’s raging storms.
The biggest film in America has a companion story you must know. “American Sniper” follows the life of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, the most deadly sniper in American history and his Navy SEAL Team 3 brothers. What people don’t know is that Chris risked his life to save Ryan’s.
The movie version of “American Sniper” was adapted from Kyle’s New York Times #1 best selling book, which was dedicated to Kyle’s NAVY Seal teammate and close friend Ryan “Biggles” Job (pronounced Jobe), a central character in both the book and film. Hollywood actor Jake McDorman portrayed Ryan Job in the film version, while “American Sniper” co-producer Bradley Cooper plays Kyle, although it captures the impact of their story, it is not entirely accurate.
Robert Vera, who was also friendly with Chris Kyle, says that the runaway success of the film “American Sniper” and seeing his friends portrayed on the silver screen has taken him by surprise. “The movie was a little eerie for me, it was like seeing a ghost because Jake McDorman actually looked and sounded a lot like Ryan”.
Jake Mcdorman As Biggles.
In the movie, Ryan Job (or “Biggles,” played by Jake McDorman) is shot in the head and blinded by Syrian sniper Mustafa but survives long enough to propose to his girlfriend. He dies soon after, and that death defines Kyle’s fourth tour in Iraq and spurs him to seek revenge against Mustafa. In reality, according to Kyle’s memoir, the Navy discharged Biggles from service following his injury. The ex-SEAL attended college, began a career, and got married before dying following facial reconstruction surgery while his wife was pregnant with their first child.*
Chris Kyle and Ryan Job were SEAL teammates on SEAL Team 3. The two were on a rooftop in Ramadi, Iraq when Job was shot in the face and gravely wounded by an enemy sniper. Job miraculously survived and was saved by Chris who came to his rescue but was rendered permanently blind in the incident, captured in one of the movie’s most harrowing sequences.
MEET the AUTHOR WHO ATTENDED THE FUNERALS OF BOTH CHRIS KYLE AND RYAN “BIGGLES” JOB, Robert Vera.
Robert Vera, is the author of A Warrior’s Faith: Navy SEAL Ryan Job, a Life-Changing Firefight, and the Belief That Transformed His Life.
Ryan Job’s real life story is more complex, more inspiring and in some ways even more tragic than Chris Kyle’s, says Vera, who pays tribute to his fallen friend in a new book; “A Warrior’s Faith: Navy SEAL Ryan Job, a Life-Changing Firefight, and the Belief That Transformed His Life” “I hope that readers will come away as inspired by Ryan’s courage, determination and faith, as I was,” Vera said.
Shortly after returning stateside for facial reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation, Ryan Job settled with his wife in Scottsdale, where he attended Scottsdale Bible Church, became involved in wounded veteran’s causes and befriended Robert Vera. Vera, a former U.S. Senate aide on military affairs, trained with Ryan in the hills around Phoenix for Job’s blind hike to the summit of Mt. Rainier. At 14, 411 feet Mt. Rainier is one the most challenging and deadliest peaks in America. Also, an avid hunter, the totally blind former SEAL also managed to successfully hunt a massive 980-pound bull elk. Vera and Job were close friends and trained together to race Ironman triathlons. Ryan earned his college degree with honours and served as a spokesman for disabled veterans organization called “Camps for Patriots” to regain a purpose in life. camppatriot.orgwhere Vera is heavily involved today.
Vera gave the eulogy at Ryan’s funeral in Scottsdale that was attended by several hundred Navy SEALs from around the globe. He was also in attendance at Kyle’s funeral service in Texas in 2013.
“A Warrior’s Faith” chronicles’ Job’s amazing life from the time he was wounded and made blind to his summit climb of Mt. Rainier and his elk hunting adventure, all while blind, his unstoppable spirit and unshakable faith, until his tragic death in 2009. It is available now, and Vera is available for book signings and speaking engagements.
Robert Vera has enjoyed a twenty-year career in the banking industry. In 2006 he took a leap of faith to follow his dream to become an entrepreneur. Robert serves on a number of non-profit boards and as a mentor to returning veterans. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Boston College. He is married with two children and lives in Phoenix, Arizona. His life has been forever changed by knowing and telling Ryans story and example of true faith and living in knowingness.
This is truly a story of living and valuing life in every way, living in a faith of trust and divine knowingness, it moved me greatly. Sara Troy Self Discovery Media host.
