My career journey began in the medical field, driven by a deep desire to help people, particularly from a supportive, administrative perspective. I thrived behind the scenes, ensuring the teams who worked face-to-face with patients had everything they needed. During that decade, raising two children shifted my focus. I sought a career that allowed me to contribute meaningfully to the community while offering the flexibility to be more present for my family. This led me from the corporate medical world to the non-profit sector. In 2023, I joined Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island, an organization that beautifully prioritizes families—both those they serve and their staff. This role allowed me the freedom to integrate my work schedule with my family’s needs, creating a powerful motivation to excel in a role that serves the greater good. In 2025, the board of Crossroads Pregnancy Centre approached me with the Executive Director opportunity. This felt like the perfect, rooted next step, allowing me to fully dedicate my passion to an organization that profoundly impacts the well-being of women and their families. It’s an honor to lead CPC, filling a massive systemic gap, and I am incredibly excited for this new chapter.

YH25-43. Michele Molitor“ Reclaiming Your True Self”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health Is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Michele Molitor, on air from October 28th

I do this work because I’ve lived it. After burning out in a high-pressure career that demanded perfection, I saw firsthand how self-doubt, people-pleasing, and anxiety can quietly erode even the most capable among us. I became obsessed with understanding how we can break those cycles — not just cope, but truly heal. Today, I help others do the same: to release the patterns that no longer serve them, reconnect with their worth, and lead with calm, clarity, and confidence. Because when we stop performing and start aligning with who we really are — that’s where real power lives.

I started my career in the fast-paced world of high tech, climbing the ladder as a creative director in Silicon Valley. From the outside, everything looked shiny — but on the inside, I was unraveling. After being bullied out of my role, I was left reeling with a massive case of imposter syndrome and a painful question: Who am I without the title?

That question became the turning point.

It launched a decades-long journey of healing, self-inquiry, and transformation. I dove deep into neuroscience, coaching, hypnotherapy, and the psychology of human behavior — not just to help others, but to first rebuild myself from the inside out.

Today, I’m not just a coach or a therapist. I’m a guide. A fellow traveler. A woman who knows what it feels like to lose herself to burnout — and to find a way back to clarity, purpose, and power.

Behind the credentials, I’m someone who loves nature, animals, books, quiet mornings with a cuppa tea, deep conversations, and helping people remember who they truly are when the masks come off.

YH25-40. Drew Deraney & Caregiving.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

“Why Caring for the Caregiver Isn’t Selfish, It’s Essential” and Health & Wellness

I believe that success happens when we find a better way and are able and willing to share it. I find a better way by challenging the status quo and thinking differently. Ultimately, what I bring to the table is a way to contribute and add value by having an impact on the lives of others.

YH 25-37. Charlotte Mah, Mind-Body Physiotherapist

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Charlotte Mah, on air from September 16th

I love supporting high-achieving women who feel stuck, burnt out, or overwhelmed to create the balance and fulfillment they’ve been craving in their lives. For years, I pushed through stress, people-pleasing, and self-doubt until I realized real change doesn’t come from working harder, it comes from working with your nervous system and unconscious mind. Now, through a unique blend of physiotherapy, nervous system regulation, and coaching, I guide women to rewire old patterns, heal from past experiences, and step into their full potential with clarity, confidence, and calm. My mission is to show that lasting transformation happens when we address both body and mind and that you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to create a life that you love.

YH25-35. Tara McGee’s Begin with Breath

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Tara McGee, formally known as Tara Rinke on air from September 2nd

Begin with Breath – Healing and Nervous System Health through Breathwork

I know what it feels like to live on edge—always performing, pleasing, and striving, yet secretly running on empty. Even with a background in psychology, I found myself looping through patterns of numbing, escaping, and abandoning myself until I discovered breathwork and nervous system regulation. That’s when I finally began prioritizing my relationship with myself and learned that my system wasn’t broken—it was wise, and it could be recalibrated. Now I help others move from anxious reactivity to steady resilience by showing them that when your system is balanced, you’re no longer governed by the need to survive—you’re free to thrive. Your breath is the remote control to your nervous system, and it’s the bridge back to yourself.
