Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Dr. Abraham George. On air from February 24th

Mountains to Cross: Finding Life’s Purpose in Service

From Global Finance to a building a school in India 

Dr. Abraham George’s Story Redefines Service and Success 

Dr. Abraham George’s remarkable journey spans continents and careers. After achieving extraordinary success in international business, he returned to India to devote his life to helping the most vulnerable. In Mountains to Cross: Finding Life’s Purpose in Service, he reflects on the experiences that shaped him—from narrowly surviving a military accident at 18, to building Shanti Bhavan, a world-renowned residential school for children born into extreme poverty.

Through gripping personal stories and a clear moral philosophy, Dr. George’s memoir delivers a deeply human message: You don’t need to be born into hardship to care about others. His work in education, environmental reform, and healthcare shows how one individual—armed with compassion and commitment—can create generational change. In an interview, he can talk about:

Dr. Abraham George is the author of the memoir Mountains to Cross: Finding Life’s Purpose in Service, a powerful reflection on his extraordinary journey from soldier and entrepreneur to social reformer. He began his career in the Indian Army as an artillery officer stationed at the Se La mountain pass on the India–China border, then the highest battleground in the Himalayas. Following his military service, he moved to the United States, where he earned two master’s degrees and a PhD in business administration from New York University. For nearly twenty-five years, he built a successful entrepreneurial career before returning to India in 1995 to confront systemic discrimination and economic oppression.

Over the decades, Dr. George has championed social justice and expanded opportunities for the underprivileged through groundbreaking educational and healthcare initiatives. His projects include founding a school that provides world-class education to socially and economically disadvantaged children, creating a postgraduate institution to foster an independent press, and establishing a rural hospital serving fifteen villages. His pioneering work in environmental health also played a pivotal role in eliminating leaded gasoline across India in April 2000—a milestone achievement in public health.

Dr. George has served on the boards of esteemed organizations such as Human Rights Watch and the International Center for Journalists, and he has been honored with awards including the Hind Rattan. In addition to his memoir, he is the author of three books on international corporate finance and two on social reform, further cementing his lifelong dedication to service, justice, and education.

C26-08. Furkhan Dandia, Reclaim Agency


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Furkhan Dandia. On air from 24th of February.

My WHY is rooted in helping people reclaim agency, meaning, and dignity amid adversity. Having lived through professional upheaval, family and legal battles, loss, and deep inner questioning, I’ve seen how easily people can become trapped in victimhood, self-deception, or systems that erode their sense of self. My work is driven by a commitment to truth, compassion, and responsibility—supporting individuals in facing their pain honestly, integrating their shadow, and reconnecting with something greater than themselves, whether that’s purpose, values, faith, or service. I believe healing is not about being rescued but about being empowered to stand upright, make conscious choices, and live with integrity, even when life is unfair.

I began my professional life in engineering and business, spending two decades in high-performance, results-driven environments where problem-solving, precision, and accountability mattered. From the outside, things looked successful, but life slowly introduced deeper tests—family conflict, loss, legal battles, faith struggles, and periods of profound uncertainty that no spreadsheet or strategy could solve. Those experiences forced me inward and reshaped how I understood resilience, suffering, and responsibility. I ultimately chose to pivot into counselling and therapeutic work, not as a departure from my past, but as an integration of it—bringing structure, discernment, and grounded compassion into spaces where people are navigating pain, identity, and meaning. Behind the profession, I’m a father, a seeker of truth, a person of faith, and someone who believes that healing happens when we are honest about our wounds, accountable for our choices, and willing to stand upright even when life is unfair.

YH26-06. Christian Gonzalez & Self-Awareness Health


Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Christian Gonzalez, on air February 10th

Christian has spent the past 20 years living on Vancouver Island after moving to Canada from Chihuahua, Mexico. Fluent in both English and Spanish, his life journey has been shaped by cultural transition, personal challenges, and a deep commitment to growth. Like many people, Christian struggled with building healthy habits and truly understanding how to care for himself. While school covered the basics, it didn’t teach him how to develop a healthy relationship with food, body awareness, or long-term wellbeing. After high school, he made the courageous choice to pause, reflect, and turn inward.

Through two years of dedication and perseverance, Christian lost over 75 pounds—and in the process rediscovered his strength, confidence, and sense of purpose. That personal transformation ignited a passion for fitness that became both his career and calling. Today, Christian helps others improve their physical health while also guiding them toward deeper emotional and mental self-understanding. His work is rooted in compassion, self-awareness, and empowerment, reminding people that lasting change begins from within.

26-06. Inviting Senior Voices


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air since February 9th

As a senior, I deeply understand the value of what we still have to offer and the wisdom we carry within us. Our lives have been shaped by experience—not theory, not trends, but lived reality. We have walked bumpy roads, faced detours we never planned for, and more than once, we’ve had to repave the path ourselves so those who followed might have an easier journey. Every challenge refined us, every mistake taught us, and every triumph reminded us of our resilience.

We have loved fully, laughed deeply, and celebrated life with open hearts. We have also known grief, loss, and heartbreak, some of it so profound that words could never fully hold it. Yet we are still here. Not hardened, but seasoned. Not finished, but evolved. We carry perspective, patience, and an understanding of what truly matters. And with that comes a quiet readiness, to share, to guide, to remind others that life is not meant to be rushed or wasted. Our wisdom is not about telling others what to do; it’s about offering insight to those willing to listen, see, and learn, so they may walk their own path with a little more clarity, courage, and compassion.

A Message for the Young — A Gentle Warning

The stories of seniors are not just about the past—they are lessons for the future. How we age reflects what we prepared for earlier in life. Our triumphs show the strength of resilience and community; our challenges reveal the cost of neglecting aging and long-term care. Aging is not optional—preparation matters.

To the younger generations: pay attention. Invest now in your health, relationships, and sense of purpose. Learn from those who came before you, because how you live today shapes the life you will one day grow into.


First Steps: Book a chat with Sara Troy.

I invite you to join me on this meaningful journey of sharing your lived wisdom with a global audience through your chapter in Our Forgotten Seniors. Your story, insights, and experiences matter more than ever, and this book is a space where your voice can be heard, honored, and preserved. Together, we will amplify these stories through podcasts and summits, creating conversations that inspire understanding, connection, and respect for the depth of wisdom seniors carry.

This is more than a book project—it is a collective legacy. By coming together, we shine a light on the value, resilience, and contributions of seniors, while offering guidance and perspective to younger generations. Through shared storytelling and conscious conversation, we ensure that wisdom is not forgotten, but passed forward with dignity, purpose, and heart.

  • Author Bio: 150-word bio for your author page, including a link and headshot.

Audiobook Inclusion

We are excited to announce that your chapter will also be included in the audiobook.
You may choose to:

  • Record your chapter in your own voice, or
  • We can use an AI technology to create a voice recording that sounds like you

You will join a supportive community of contributors, connecting with like-minded individuals through shared stories, lived experience, and a common desire to make a meaningful difference.


Promotion and Reach

The book will be promoted across multiple channels, including podcasts, summits, and social media, sites, to ensure broad reach and lasting impact for every author’s story.


How We Gently Build Support for the Book

We approach support through connection and shared purpose. By sharing the vision through conversations, podcasts, summits, and social media, we naturally invite interest from those who resonate with the message. Support and sponsorship help cover the costs of publishing the paperback, eBook, and audiobook. When support arises, it is acknowledged with appreciation and respect. Our focus remains on trust, relationships, and creating something meaningful together—allowing support to grow organically.

This is a seniors’ community book, we come together to illuminate the path for others to walk on. Come join me on this journey.


Our last book on the vulnerability of our children and what needs to change.

ReAlign with Kassandra Hamilton MH26-04.


Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Kassandra Hamilton, on air from January 27th

I do this work because I know what it’s like to look successful on the outside while feeling disconnected, exhausted, and unsure on the inside. After navigating burnout, grief, identity-loss, and the pressure to hold everything together, I realized that real change doesn’t come from pushing harder. Instead, it comes from listening inward and restoring safety, clarity, and self-trust in the body and nervous system. Today, I support high-achieving women who are tired of living on autopilot to reconnect with their energy, boundaries, and purpose, so they can build lives that feel as good internally as they appear externally. My message is simple but powerful: alignment is something you remember, not something you earn.

Kassandra Hamilton (known as Kazz) is an alignment coach, speaker, author, and local singer-songwriter whose work is grounded in her background in global and community health and her lived experience of burnout and reinvention. Through years working within health systems, she witnessed how burnout, over-functioning, and disconnection are often treated as individual problems rather than systemic and nervous-system realities; a perspective she shared in her recent TED-style talk. That insight became the foundation for her Inside Out Framework™, which supports sustainable wellbeing by addressing regulation, boundaries, and self-trust before performance, productivity, or purpose.

Today, Kassandra works with high-achieving women who appear capable and successful on the outside but feel depleted or misaligned on the inside. Through the Inside Out Framework™, she helps clients restore energy, reconnect with their bodies, and make aligned choices that honour both their humanity and their leadership. Her work spans private coaching, group programs, speaking engagements, and experiential healing.

Alongside her coaching practice, Kassandra is a practicing healer offering Ayurvedic head massage, bio-energy healing, and sound healing, and works weekly at Triple Moon in downtown Nanaimo. She is also a volunteer with restorative justice programs for youth, supporting accountability, repair, and reconnection. Outside of her professional work, she is a storyteller and musician who writes and performs original music, hikes with her dog, and loves learning about new cultures through travel.
