C18-28 RAW: Bella’s Journey from Anxiety to Joy

July 9, 2018April 7, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Bella Mahaya Carter, on-air from July 10th

Raw is the story of one woman’s quest for health and happiness, which dragged her kicking and screaming into spiritual adulthood. Anxiety and a desire to heal it holistically—even before she knew what it was—is at the heart of this story, which reveals Carter’s struggles to face her fears, release perfectionism, surrender things beyond her control, and find validation within for her life and work. The book is divided into three sections—body, mind, and spirit—and it begins with Carter’s efforts to holistically cure chronic stomach problems. Toward that end, she adopted a 100 percent raw, vegan diet, which eased her symptoms and produced impressive, unexpected perks, but didn’t completely heal her. She then looked to her mind for answers and discovered that unconscious negative thoughts combined with a stressful, hectic-paced life sabotaged her well-being. Finally, a few mystical experiences brought her “home” to a visceral understanding of who she really is.

We need to go from Sad Vibes to Glad Vibes

July 8, 2018July 23, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

So many are speaking of sad vibrations right now, a lot of it is the shift of awakening into the heart and some of it is feeling the pain of global despair. This is tempory and not for us to get stuck in, but instead for feeding the Glad Vibes helps us step and soothing the hearts that are hurting.

As an empath, I feel way too much, it hits me right on my heart centre and automatically the sadness comes on. The challenge is to allow your self to go through the pain, feel it to release it, for avoiding it does not work.

I have lived a lot on my life in sadness, and sometimes it is because of what is going on and sometimes it is an aloneness that makes one feel sad. When I do my interviewS I am lifted, the knowingness of someone’s wisdom that is shared with the passion of kindness and love is more inspiring than you know. I come off these interviews knowing that changes are being done, the shift is happening and we are, bit by bit making a difference in the lives of others. SO WHY DOES THE GLADNESS NOT SURVIVE LONG?

My spirit and soul know things are changing for the better, that the momentum is in play. My heart knows it too, but can not avoid the sadness that is in the world. So a dose of gladness is needed. When we can not shake those feelings that pull us down, we need to do something that lifts us up.

WHAT TO DO? you say, do happiness, do laughter, do a kindness, do something unselfish for another, all of these things will lift you up, for seeing a smile in joy, making a difference in another’s life, is so very rewarding and makes the heart happy.

It is the little things, respect, a smile, a Hello, an acknowledgement that we are alive. Kind words, soft voices, a helping hand, all and any of these will make you feel Gladness. We keep looking for some big and profound, where it is in the small things that really matter.

SMILE YOU WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD

Such kind acts of love, joy, kindness make such a difference as it lifts one’s heart and shows us that there is a beautiful humanity within us when we choose to be it. HERE IS A TIP IN LIFTING UP YOUR HEART, SEE VIDEOS OF KIND ACTS LIKE SAVING AN ANIMAL, SHOWS KINDNESS TO OEN ANOTHER, DOING SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL FOR SOMEONE, YOU WILL FEEL AMAZING FOR IT.

Here are some joyful acts of kindness

IF THESE DON’T MAKE YOU SMILE NOTHING WILL

So don’t be Sad be Glad for all the things you have and do something nice for someone else.

Our Host, Di Challenor’s story… You might be surprised, but just like you, and not all that long ago I’ve struggled with all of the above and more.

FIND HER STORY HERE.

At times, I really wanted to give up – I felt lost, confused, had no direction or passion for the things I love. I couldn’t even get out of bed for days in a row. I was in an emotionally abusive marriage, at times I felt I was losing my mind trying to keep ahead of all the lies I was being fed. And I kept doubting and questioning myself, getting more and more confused and stressed as time went by.

My marriage breakdown gave me a gift. I found the spiritual path to access my inner strength, connection, magic and wisdom. I was lead on a journey finding my brilliance, self-worth and happiness while having faith to keep on going, trusting that spirit supports me to grow, to invest in and care for myself so I could serve and care for others. I could see a light at the end of the tunnel. This light kept me strong, giving me the freedom to be me and add value to the world.

I know that being unhappy in your life, and in your heart centre can create roadblocks – big ones, and they rob you of your unique magic!

I’m soooo glad I’m here with you right now, virtually, in your inbox, because you need to hear what I am about to say. I can help and I’m not alone…

Di Challennor.

TSM 18-25 Compassion Dogs for Veterans with P.T.S.D.

June 18, 2018June 21, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Barb Ashmead, on air from June 19th

Too often the trauma of military service leaves veterans with deep scars that make regular life challenging, if not impossible. At Vancouver Island Compassion Dogs, our goal is to offer our veterans and their families a reprieve from the suffering. VICD is a nonprofit organization that matches veterans suffering from a stress Injury like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with a compassion dog. Together, they embark on a unique 52-week service dog training program, that is as much about saving the person, as it is the dog.

Compassion dogs provide veterans with a living, breathing lifeline to the outside world. This powerful, primal bond between human and dog is a catalyst to peace, purpose and healing for our returning wounded.

Our Program
Serving Those Who Served.
Our service dog training program provides veterans with renewed purpose, confidence and unconditional support.

Our program begins by carefully matching veterans to their service dog. Broken into three distinct phases, veterans are led through twice-weekly training sessions over the course of one year. Guided by professional trainers, and a mental health clinical practitioner, the program is based on Integrated Victory Management, focused on rewards and accomplishments.

The goal of the program is the training and successful graduation of a fully certified Stress Injury Service and Support Dog (SI-SSD) that remains in the veteran’s care.

To ensure the program is available to everyone who needs it, all dog and travel-related expenses are covered by VICD. This includes dog food, veterinary treatments, obedience training, training equipment and gas cards to cover travel to class. VICD recognises the impact loved ones can have on a veteran’s recovery. We invite family and friends to attend our monthly support sessions to learn about the program and its methods.

The bond created through each team is life-altering. Our dogs learn to be emotionally tuned to their person and their unique triggers. They’re able to wake veterans from nightmares, ground them from a hyper-aroused state, and support them unconditionally through the stresses and trauma of everyday life.

Our Dogs

Our repurpose dogs have been donated from BC and Alberta Guide Dogs (BCGDS) and Pacific Assistance Dogs (PADS) Our rescue dogs have come from BCSPCA Alberni-Clayoquot (Port Alberni)

All our dogs have had been temperament tested, Have had their eyes, hips, and elbow certified.
They are spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Learn more about applying to our program

Locally, she has co-chaired with her business partner the Qualicum Cat Rescue Society. Barb’s work with BC Guide Dogs, raising five puppies for service and autism support fostered her tremendous devotion for canine service.

Both of Barb’s parent’s being WWII military veterans also stirred her unwavering vision for VICD’s purpose. Leaning on her research training and problem-solving experience’s gained thought to complete her Master’s Degree and acquired thought running a successful local business for more than 20 years have helped contribute to her tireless accomplishments.
