Your Health Is Your Choice Sara Troy and her guest Becky Wolfe, on air from September 27th
That is, the idea that health and leadership coaching can go hand in hand. Understanding who you are as a person, seeking the health and balance you want from life and understanding what motivates you are possible. I believe that people are searching for peace, health and balance, but they are struggling to find what makes sense for them. I’m passionate about helping people understand who they are so they can become healthy, happy and free. Finding peace in your relationship with food and your body as well as finding peace in your purpose is what inspires me to be a coach.
Becky Wolfe is a Leadership Development Specialist focusing on organizational change specifically focused on burnout within teams. She is a certified Coach/Consultant with GiANT Worldwide and has a background in healthcare.
Becky started her career as a Physician Assistant in 2006 initially working in the ER. She spent the bulk of her career working in Cardiology where she became frustrated with the current healthcare model. While she was a practicing PA in Cardiology, Becky decided to get certified as a health coach to help her patients with their own well-being. Becky got certified through NSHC which is a clinician-based certification program focusing on motivational interviewing to help patients on their journey to live healthier lives.
After she got certified, Becky started a program in her Cardiology Clinic as a free source of information and motivation for her patients to attend. The program had great response and she found that patients were able to obtain their health goals with the proper tools and coaching. Becky was the wellness advocate in that clinic and offered one and one support and coaching to staff and patients as needed.
Becky I also began a blog in 2014 and wrote to inspire women who were on their own health and wellness path. She continued health coaching individually and in groups during this time.
She also co-founded a real estate investing business with her then husband in 2012 through 2020.
In 2017, the cardiology clinic closed its doors abruptly and Becky was faced with finding employment in another field. She went on to work in Urgent Care, but realized that she wanted to shift to coaching full-time.
In 2018 to 2019, Becky decided to invest in her own professional development and began a leadership development course through GiANT worldwide. At the end of 2019, it was clear to Becky that she needed to pursue coaching full-time. She got certified with GiANT to so she could work with organizations to help them with strategic people development.
Becky started working with a health coaching company initially in 2020 and started her leadership development company later that year. She built up her business and now is a full-time entrepreneur focusing on helping teams move forward from burnout culture.

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Greg Hammer ,MD, on air from September 20th
Greg Hammer, MD, Stanford School of Medicine professor, physician, best-selling author, and mindfulness expert, shares tips to become more nonjudgmental and explains the benefits.
Most people admirably strive to be “nonjudgmental” towards others. Coming from a place of nonjudgment allows us to see the best in others without letting our own biases get in the way. However, in order to become less judgmental, we need to change how we think about ourselves and the world around us.
We make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad. And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves??
Mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment. First, we acknowledge how often we judge and that it is not necessary to judge. Then we can practice living in the present and accepting the world, ourselves, and others as they are.
What is nonjudgment? Nonjudgment is observation without bias. It’s understanding that reality is not necessarily good or bad— it just is. Nonjudgment is a natural extension of “living in the moment.”
What are the benefits of nonjudgment?
Nonjudgment allows you to see the best in yourself and others.
You’re freeing yourself from your own criticism.
You’re more open to positive experiences and opportunities.
What problems does judgment create?
Judgment prevents us from seeing what is really in front of us! We risk missing out on making new friends, having great conversations, and learning something new.
Judgment stokes our own fears, anxieties, and insecurities which keep us stuck.
Our compulsive need to make judgments is tiring and takes our energy away from important tasks.
How does mindfulness inhibit judgment?
When we are focused on the present moment, we accept things as they are, which prevents judgment.
When practiced consistently, nonjudgment will become more natural, but it will most likely never be automatic. Remaining nonjudgmental is a continual effort.
Any tips on practicing judgment?
Take a moment to be present (practice mindfulness) every morning before you start your day. Set an intention to greet the first person you see with nonjudgment.
When you notice a judgment, release it. You may not be able to stop all immediate judgments, but you can notice and capture them before they influence your behavior.
Remember that becoming aware of bias and judgment is an important first step.
If you notice that your self-talk is critical, try adjusting your tone to sound like you are talking to a dear friend.

I’m a father, husband, and passionate creator. I grew up in a small Massachusetts town and spent a lot of time outside and playing sports as a kid although I wasn’t very good. I’ve always been my weird self and known as a mellow kid who’s always joking. I went to the university of New Haven for a year after high school but dropped out after 2 semesters after dealing with deep depression, paranoia, and mood swings. I was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and spent what I call a sick kids gap year trying to write several novels, drinking heavily, sometimes avoiding public situations for weeks on end and sometimes contemplating big life changing moves. I spent the next few years unmedicated and self medicated openly struggling with bipolar disorder. I started dating my wife who suffered from a severe eating disorder and stood by me while I struggled through my own mental illness. I have a 1 year old son named Nohl (Nohlie) a cat named ozzy, and a daughter on the way named Leala Bowie, I love to paint, write, listen to music, hike and cook.
