Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Radha Ruparell, on air from August 10th
The big idea: Sometimes it takes a catastrophic event to wake us up. We’re diagnosed with a life-changing illness, end a long-term relationship, unexpectedly get laid off, or face an event that utterly upends life as we know it (COVID-19, anyone?). These turning points can be terrifying. Yet, we all encounter them in our lives. The real question is: how will we face them?

TheirStory Matters with Sara Troy and herguest David Richman, on-air from August 3rd
Inspiring Deeper Human Connection Through Life-Changing Stories
WHAT CYCLE OF LIVES PRESENTS: 15 REAL STORIES OF TRIALS AND TRIUMPH WITH VICTORY AND DEFEAT: Many books only share one perspective; however, David’s book provides cancer stories told from 15 different perspectives, allowing readers to examine a wide range of experiences, events, emotions, backgrounds, and viewpoints. This array of human experiences will help readers to grow in empathy and better understand how issues like suicide, abandonment, loss, survivor guilt, abuse, fertility, and more, affect the way people deal with the traumas that shape their lives, cancer, or otherwise.
LIFE WISDOM WITHIN EACH PAGE: Readers of Cycle of Lives will be better equipped to deal with trauma, be there for the people around them, and feel more supported in starting hard conversations. A MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL JOURNEY FROM YOUR HOME: Cycle of Lives also appeals to readers who enjoy moving narratives of ordinary people persevering through extreme endurance events –like 5,000-mile bike rides– that inspire them to tackle their own lofty dreams.
OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS, David has completed: • Over 50 triathlons, including 15 Ironman-distance triathlons • More than 50 runs longer than marathon distance • Several 24-hour runs • An 85-mile run in Mexico during the summer • Four consecutive marathons (104 miles) from Santa Barbara to Manhattan Beach • A solo, 5,000 mile bike ride from California to Florida to New York
After working in a variety of industries–including launching two start-ups–David Richman entered the financial industry as an advisor. Several years in, he found that his interests were more in managing people and businesses than in managing money. Over the next 15 years, he managed ever-larger businesses for the same Wall Street firm. Among other pursuits, David now works with a nationally recognized financial services firm committed to keeping the advisor in the forefront.
Over the last 10 years, David has completed over 50 triathlons, including 15 Ironman-distance triathlons (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run), more than 50 runs longer than marathon distance, including several 24-hour runs, running 85 miles in Mexico in the heat of the summer, running 104 miles straight from Santa Barbara to Manhattan Beach, and most recently biking 4,700-miles in just six weeks as he met with the participants of his upcoming book exploring the emotional side of cancer.
As a former sedentary, over-weight, smoker, David knew that he needed to focus not on what others wanted out of him, but on what he wanted out of life. Through lessons learned in business and sport, David introduces the concept of the “middle of the pack” and discusses how to get more out of ourselves than ever imagined. He applies this concept to life and business and adds value to the people he works with coming from the perspective of the “middle of the pack.”
David was born in Miami and raised mostly in the Los Angeles area. He and his wife split their time between homes in Southern California and Southern Nevada. He has worked in real estate, lending, construction, started both an animation company and a skincare company, and then went into financial services. He has college-aged twins who are as aspirational as their father. After losing his sister to brain cancer, David has organized a yearly fundraiser in her memory, the most recent being the impetus for his upcoming book, Cycle of Lives – 15 People’s Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 3rd.
We still have loads of summer to go, but with all the fires, tornados, floods, and still the virus how much fun are we really having? That my friends is up to us.
Even though we are still facing challenges, let us be grateful for the fact we can go out, go to the beach, hang with friends and family, and get back to work. There is a BUT though, the virus is not over, it has been diminished a lot with the vaccine, but still, more to go. We still have flare-ups because of either no vaccine of not wearing masks, of simple carelessness and in some cases disrespect of this vicious virus.
Let us be mindful and not complacent, let us be mindful of the fires, the heat waves that have killed many, the floods, tornadoes, etc that are disrupting our planet’s equilibrium. Yes, we can have fun, if we are respectful of all that is going on around us.
Enjoy your ice cream, the BBQs, meeting of friends and family, yes dine out, and support those businesses desperately trying to stay alive. Yes go on trips, but in respect of others go vaccinated. Yes enjoy your camping, but be mindful of the dryness of land and its desperate need for water, so conserve your water because here we are drying out.
We all want to get back to some sort of normalcy and we can if we are respectful of our part in our actions. So go have fun, embrace one another, laugh play, dance swim, dine, drink, be exuberant, but, please do it mindfully.
Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Elizabeth Powers, on air from July 13th
“All I do is help people with change, resilience and self-care, and alignment. And everything is done from the trauma-informed perspective,” she says. “Even courses directly about working with trauma are about change.”
Power develops cross-cultural adaptations of models of care for the mental health community as well as helping other countries like Japan develop their own models. The Trauma-Informed Academy recently released her new model, The Trauma Responsive System which focuses on mastering 9 elements akin to applied emotional intelligence.
Elizabeth Power, M.Ed., is an international authority on trauma-informed care, change, and resilience. She’s also an Adjunct Instructor in Psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical Center and a veteran adult educator. Her new book, Healer: Reducing Crises is the first in a five-book series that reduces the time, trauma, and costs of healing from overwhelming events. Her clients include the National Center for PTSD, National Child Traumatic Stress Network, and many more. A frequent conference speaker and trainer, Elizabeth’s target is to teach ways to refocus on skills over sickness.
