TSM15/32 Playing to Reduce Stress in Kids

August 5, 2015June 16, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Michele Kambolis from Harbourside Family Counseling Centre aired August 11th

One in five children has a diagnosable mental disorder; one in eight experienced clinical levels of anxiety. Amidst these extremes, every family must deal with some level of childhood stress: worries about changes at home, school pressures and scary headlines. What caused this surge in anxiety in our young people? How can parents combat this? Esteemed child and family therapist Michele Kambolis combine theory and practical, play- based activity to help this ‘generation stressed’.

Kambolis shows how to translate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques from her book Generation Stressed into fun, playful exercises that can be practised by parents with their children. CBT is the top, evidence-based toolset to reduce childhood anxiety; it teaches children powerful ways to change their thinking patterns and actions to decrease stress and increase resiliency.

Topics include:

Children experiencing high levels of anxiety are more likely to be physically sick, experience additional social problems, suffer from weakened brain development, and be less financially independent in later life. At a time when mental health is at the forefront of many parents’ priorities, Kambolis demystifies methods that ensure our children’s mental well-being. At the heart of these methods is a focus on joyful parenting and the relationship between parent and child.

Michele Kambolis (MA) is a registered Child and Family Therapist and Parent Educator dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues. She is currently pursuing her PhD program in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University and is passionate about supporting global health initiatives. Her book, Generation Stressed, has received widespread praise from therapists, families and media alike. Kambolis writes a popular weekly parenting advice column, Parent Traps, for The Vancouver Sun.

Michele shares with us an easy to use handbook which offers original, engaging and effective exercises developed by Kambolis that you can use at home, on the road and in social settings to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety in your child.

TSM 15/33 Who Says You Can’t? Just Do IT.

August 4, 2015November 22, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Alvin Law aired from August 18th

Start an Attitude Revolution

Imagine if everyone in your organization saw themselves, and each other, as leaders. If they positively influenced each other by proactively jumping in and making things happen. If they inspired each other by consistently operating from a mindset of ‘yes’.

What could you accomplish? How far could you go? Maybe you need to work to be awesome

Like you, attitude expert and bestselling author Alvin Law has heard a lot of clichés about cultivating a positive attitude. But are any of them true? Does a positive attitude really guarantee success in life? Should we force ourselves to think positively, no matter what our situation? Will mantras and sound bites change how we view ourselves and the world? Or are we thinking about attitude all wrong?

With over three decades of professional speaking and over five (ahem) decades of experience living life without arms, his view is radically different.

Alvin’s mission is to spark a worldwide Attitude Revolution. Attitude Revolutions happen because people are inspired, from within themselves, to practice cultivating a more proactive and effective outlook on their lives. Alvin knows, and demonstrates to his audiences, that attitude is not about touchy-feely platitudes or ‘thinking positive’ – attitude is how we look at and interpret life overall. It is a skill that can be learned, and that must be practised. It is a tool that can be used. Most importantly, it can’t be imposed upon people – it has to come from a genuine place.

Alvin uses his story to challenge audiences to rewrite the negative stories they tell themselves about themselves; to stop feeling like victims in their lives and get proactive; to stop making excuses and start making choices. His fusion of storytelling, musical performance and down-to-earth humour connect with his audiences at an intimate, intense and individual level. Over 7,500 organizations on five continents, including Cisco Systems, Pfizer and Telus, have used Alvin to ignite, engage and transform their people.

Born with no arms as a result of the drug Thalidomide, Alvin was adopted by a family who taught him to use his feet for hands – and who by doing so gave him the gift of freedom. In addition to being a professional speaker, he is a trained broadcaster, fundraiser, award-winning musician and bestselling author. He has earned the designation of Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), an honour possessed by less than ten percent of professional speakers worldwide. In 2009, Alvin was inducted into the Canadian Association of Speakers (CAPS) Hall of Fame.

Prior to his career as a professional speaker, Alvin worked for non-profit groups, in advertising and public relations, the civil service, and has even run for public office (unsuccessfully, but he got over it). He has appeared on countless telethons and media features and has been the subject of two award-winning television documentaries. He has played a direct role in raising over $175,000,000 for charity.

He shares his life with his wife and business partner, Darlene; his adult son, Vance; Raymond, the dog; and Trixie, the cat. They all live in beautiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

15/32 HUNGER for Food for Company for Life

August 3, 2015October 2, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara View of Life with Sara Troy aired August 11th-17th

quote-hunger-love-pain-fear-are-some-of-those-inner-forces-which-rule-the-individual-s-instinct-for-albert-einstein-342045

Why are we still starving? Why are people still dying of hunger? Why are we allowing this?

We have to stop turning our heads away because it makes us feel uncomfortable, we have to start doing something about it. Children in Africa are not getting food because of droughts, a regime who controls the food and a view that if you’re poor you a waste.

We are running out of food because we became too greedy, consuming more than we need, feeding an inner hole it is time to change that, for no one should suffer from hunger in or out today.

In countries where food is abundant, we are so wasteful, so disgracefully neglectful that we don’t even see the hungry before our eyes. As human bodies we have to be fed, the spirit is not enough, but while many stuff their faces and waste so much, just within reach there is someone needing a meal just to live another day.

We are not just hungry for food but for company, for someone to listen to hear us, to care enough to spend a moment with us, the best commodity of all, our TIME.

Let us start seeing the world as it is and what it can be, and let us be part of the solution, care, share, do, be, for we are all one here and this planet is home to all of us.

P15/16b Yoga Kids and A Holistic World

April 14, 2015July 15, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Dawattie Basdeo aired from April 21st on.

Founder of Holistic World Ltd

I founded Holistic World with the vision of opening Holistic World centers globally. The mission of the centers being that to provide a modern day sanctuary on the high street for the mind body and soul. Stemming from my wish to provide inspiration and good well-being for my children and children all over the world I had the idea to write a series of children’s yoga books which children could read and enjoy individually or with an adult. The aim of the Magnificent Me, Magnificent You series is to highlight to children the many wonderful qualities they have within and also the amazing beauty and power of the natural world.

Each book in the series has an adventure based around a Natural Wonder of the world, along with lots of fun activities to inspire mind, body and soul. My inspiration and ideas for the books have been drawn from my own personal life experiences such as running up Table Mountain, swimming with turtles in the sea, doing fire walks, giving birth to my children plus lots more.
