TSM 15/26 Becoming Unique with Autism

June 18, 2015July 6, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 3 Comments

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest James Charles originally aired June 30th

Mental Challenges and Autism are even more evident today, but are we any closer to understanding them and the gifts they can be? Meet James Charles who has worked in the mentally disabled world for a long time only to discover he has always had Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Having struggled with social interaction and emotional development as a child, James was badly bullied and found himself consumed with overwhelming feelings of fear and anxiety. It wasn’t until he entered his fifth decade that the diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder proved to be a revelation. It was only after he began to recognize the signs and symptoms of his patients in himself while he was working as a mental health practitioner, that he found the courage to seek out an official diagnosis. Suddenly released from the feelings of guilt, confusion and distress he had experienced since childhood, James embraced life anew, began studying to become a life coach, and finally realized that his autism was, in fact, a gift.

TSM 15/25 The Voice of Our Children

June 15, 2015June 25, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Daniel and Ilana Bissonnette aired June 23rd.

Don’t be fooled by his cuteness cause this kid packs a serious punch when it comes to getting kids to ditch junk and go organic. You might have seen him last year at the veg-expo or Non-GMO Show, or been there for his epic world renowned performance at March Against Monsanto Vancouver…Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome 10-year-old Daniel Bissonnette.

Here are some of Daniel on YouTube:

“Here they are, the ones that will make the changes we so desperately need.”

GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Our bodies are not designed to digest these foods, and the chemicals they use in pesticides are causing our bodies to break down.

Studies in humans reveal that GMOs leave behind harmful material in our bodies linked to cancer in humans, and in animal studies, GMOs have been associated with organ damage, immune disorders, and accelerated aging early death.

Without GMO labeling laws, what can you do to protect yourself from hidden GMOs that continue to threaten your health and wellbeing?

We have a voice, and it starts here and now with young people like Daniel and his parents. We have the power to change things by buying local and organic, make your voice heard in the grocery store, buy organic and be aware of the foods you eat.

Professional Bunhead from NYC, travelled abroad extensively via her art form and escaped the limitations of her neighbourhood, family, culture and socioeconomic predisposition at an early age. Having first-hand knowledge about the power of transformation through the arts, Alice, used her training to create opportunities for others to have similar experiences. She founded her non-profit agency, Heroes Unite in 1990 as a response to the community need in Miami due to the lack of services and resources for underserved populations ranging from the HIV populations, terminally ill children, families of domestic abuse, underserved youth, poverty-stricken, oncology patients and most recently breast cancer victors. With a strong theatre background, using the arts as a viable method for empowerment was a natural fit. From the first organic community garden in North Miami to Mobile Micro Theater all offerings under Heroes Unite result in high scoring measurable outcomes delivered with patience, mindfulness and humanism. Over the course of the past 25 years in Miami, we have served thousands of people discover the bounty within via programs, events and projects all based in a variety of well managed, professional arts offerings.

Marilyn Van Houten RN MS CDMS CCM

Marilyn Van Houten is a Registered Nurse with 46 years of nursing & administrative experience. She has owned a case management company, Rehab Case Management, for 27 yrs and has been very interested in the rehabilitation of breast cancer survivors, assisting them to become “thrivers” not just survivors through choral music and the camaraderie of the Heroines Choir.

She is a past President of the local Case Management Society of America as well as National Board of Directors. She was awarded the “Case Manager of the Yr Award” by the local CMSA chapter for her advocacy of breast cancer patients. Currently, she is serving on the PFAC (Patient Family Advisory Council) of the Baptist Hospital Breast Center. She also served on the patient advisory committee for Baptist Hospital new Comprehensive Cancer Center assisting with the design of the planned structure.
As a nationally certified Case Manager and Certified Disability Management Specialist, she is aware of the importance of assisting those who have faced potentially life-threatening illnesses.

The current medical community has little to offer breast cancer survivors in terms of “what’s next” after treatment ends. Through Marilyn’s contacts in the community, we have formed a partnership with Your Bosom Buddies, assisting us with our rehearsal space & a stage. As the Coordinator for Buddie for You, matching up trained mentors with newly diagnosed, she has recruited new choir members as well as many of those she is personally mentoring.

Through her personal, educational and management background Marilyn has been instrumental in developing goals, measurable outcomes, and identification of important partners such as the University of Miami, HealthSouth Rehabilitation & Baptist Hospital Breast Center.

S15/21 The Blind Blogger

May 18, 2015April 6, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Maxwell Ivey Jr originally aired from May 26th on.

untitled-design-1 Never Give Up and Never Give In for you never know what your journey is really about until you walk through your barriers.

I am a 48-year-old blind gentleman who grew up in a family of carnival owners. All I ever wanted to do was to continue in my father’s and grandfather’s footsteps and be part of the family business.

As you can tell by reading this, that isn’t where I ended up. I did help in the business over the years, but couldn’t sustain it after the early death of my father (who had lung cancer). I then turned to helping people sell their amusement equipment. I do that on my other site,

The Midway Marketplace.

I started blogging to promote that site and met a lot of wonderful people in the blogosphere. They told me that I had an amazing story and many commented on how I inspired them. They finally convinced me that I had a bigger purpose in store for myself.

So, I started this second blog, and in it I share more of my personal journey, struggles, and triumphs. I also got noticed by a lot of people and have appeared as a guest, an interview subject, and a motivator on many different sites. My As Seen Online page lists these places.

I do my best to help others, and do so mostly by encouraging them to take steps towards their ultimate goal or to continue on the path they have started.

I am now offering coaching to help people who are stuck and frustrated with not being able to find their passion or follow their dreams once they have determined what they want in their lives.

I am also available to speak to groups. I believe that by sharing the story of my personal growth and transformation, it will motivate and inspire anyone who hears it.

In addition to starting a new business, I have also lost over 250 pounds through a combination of gastric surgery, diet, exercise, positive attitude, meditation, and prayer.

I believe I can help you. If you have questions for me, just ask them via the contact form. If anything, I am known for being too forthcoming!

I want to get to know you and become friends. I want to hear about your dreams and aspirations as well as your fears and concerns. I want to help you to grow to be that person you were meant to

Leading You Out of the Darkness Into the Light: A Blind Man’s Inspirational Guide to Success

This is my first book. It is a motivational one where I share my personal experiences as a blind entrepreneur and the lessons I have learned along the way. It includes exercises that you are encouraged to do and report on as you work through them.
