TSM 17-16 “Living My Illusion” with Joel Van der Molen

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Joel Van der Molen, on air from April 18th


Living My Illusion

Joel says “Like most people, I too have been a victim of living in an Instagram/Facebook world and have become very good at wearing masks to hide the pain. I take a selfie and say, look at me, I’m successful, my life is amazing and I have it all together, when inside I’m anxious, stressed, depressed and lonely.

In this interview with Sara Troy on SELF Discovery Radio , I share my journey working with the world renowned Life Coach and Human behaviour expert Tony J Selimi and how it ignited the idea to co-create the documentary series Living My Illusion.

It was not an easy thing to do, in fact, it was the hardest and most challenging thing to go through periods in my life where I had to address thoughts and feelings that deep down I was afraid to acknowledge.

Many people have grown up in a world where we suppress our truth and live our lives according to other people’s values and expectations, whether they are parents, society, culture or religion. I trust by sharing my personal story it becomes a lesson for millions of people to self-reflect, addresses their fears and awakens their true authentic being.

In today’s fast-paced, demanding, and the technologically driven world it is easy to move with the crowd and create our lives based on what everyone else is doing, and what we are told to do. We are programmed from birth about how the world is and what we have to do to fit in.

We learn to suppress our inner truth, voice, and heart desires in order to seek the approval from those we love, be accepted and feel worthy. It is this change in our way of thinking, feeling and behaving that brings us out of our natural state of inner balance, creates disease and drives the segregation we experience worldwide.

Recognising from a young age that something doesn’t feel right about his way of being, but unable to express it, Joel Van der Molen sought the help of Tony J. Selimi, the world renowned human behaviour and cognition expert known as The See-Through Coach to address the nagging feeling deep down which he could no longer ignore.”

TSM17-14 Understanding Fibromyalgia with Dr Ric Arseneau

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Ric Arseneau, on air from April 4th


What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia (FM) was recognized as a true syndrome by the American College of Rheumatology in 1990. FM is thought to exist in 2% to 3% of the population. It occurs in both men and women and women are affected 6 to 9 times more often than men. In women, FMoccurs most commonly between the ages of 30 to 60.  FM can also affect teenagers, children, and the elderly. FM has no known cause. Current research into how the nervous system deals with pain has shown that various abnormalities are present in people who have FM.

Other studies have indicated that genetic (inherited) factors may predispose some individuals to develop FM. These genetic factors can affect how the body responds to pain, physical or emotional trauma, and illnesses (such as viral infections).

This work is at the research stage and not yet available for doctors to help diagnose patients with FM in their offices. But this knowledge can be helpful in the management of FM.

TSM 17-15 Forster Children’s Comfort Cases with Rob Scheer

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Rob Scheer, on air from April 11th

“I remember the first day Amaya came to stay with us. She was four years old, moving into her third foster home and carrying her entire life in a white trash bag,” said Comfort Cases founder Rob Scheer.

“Having experienced foster care myself, I was disgusted to see a child forced to carry around their things like they were garbage. We took her out to buy new clothes and she picked out a Cinderella nightgown.”

“From that moment, I knew we needed to make a change.”

TSM 17-10 Hiding in a Cave of Trunks: Internment in a WWII POW Camp with Ester Shifren

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Ester Benjamin Shifren, on air from March 7th


img_0587-297x300

Hiding in a Cave of Trunks: A Prominent Jewish Family’s Century in Shanghai and Internment in a WWII POW camp. Against an impressive historical background, China-born Ester Benjamin Shifren relates the saga of her family’s century-long existence in Shanghai, the city often referred to as “The Paris of the East,” and details the culture and tribulations of the colorful multi-ethnic population. In the early1840s a vessel brought the Benjamins from India to Shanghai, where they prospered for five generations. Some members of the family achieved high-level diplomatic positions. Owners of prize-winning horses, the family even conducted business at the race- track, sometimes on a handshake! World War II abruptly terminated their privileged lifestyle. In 1943, the Japanese interned the Benjamins for three years in a POW camp. Along with other internees, they endured great hardship and loss of all worldly possessions. In 1948, shortly before the Communist takeover, the Benjamins relocated to Hong Kong, where the ensuing Korean War embargo eventually caused their irreparable financial collapse. In 1951 the family immigrated to Israel. Ester served two years in the army, married a South African in 1957, and spent thirty-six years in South Africa. After spending five years in Canada Ester immigrated to the USA in 1997 and now lives in Los Angeles, California. Ester Benjamin Shifren is an author, artist, musician, and dynamic international speaker. In 2005, in England, she was featured in the BBC1 program “We’ll Meet Again,” and was a guest lecturer for several days at the Imperial War Museum.

A POEM BY ESTER.

How life changed overnight, and more, of which I’ll speak.
So recently from China, with little to our name,
Depleted of well-being—the enemy had no shame!
First, Israel and tented, then moving to a hut,
So many people idle, most doors to work were shut.
New roofs of tin still missing, our ceilings were just wood,
A Heavy rain fell early—we did all that we could!
Pouring in it drenched us, some neighbors from a tent
Piled in—that day all old umbrellas were truly heaven sent!
Some songs we sang in English were mimicked, hardly fun…
We all spoke different languages in 1951!
The army came to help us, we needed tons of aid!
The government took note, and important changes made.
More or less a year went by, we got the tiniest place
On roof top of a building, the view its saving grace.
We bartered our possessions to pay the purchase price,
We traded fridge for icebox, and daily purchased ice
From vendor (horse and buggy!)—who shouted out his wares!
We heaved ice block, both up and down, more than one hundred stairs!
But we were young and healthy, and never said a word,
Just happy to have shelter, and freedom of a bird.
The next best thing to being like birds that at our level flew,
Was being at top of mountain with the most breathtaking view!
And soon we started working, in different styles and ways,
And started feeling better with how we spent our days.
And now I think I’ll end this piece of memoir that’s in rhyme,
And leave continuation for another day and time.
