Living on her own by 16, surviving a life altering car accident at 18, and then becoming debilitated from a  spinal injury at 28,  LauraBeth knows well the adversities that life can present.  Her faith in God was tested as her entire world crumbled, and she went from being a hands-on mom to 4 sons, ages 8 and under, to being confined to bed due to chronic pain.

In her darkest hours, she cried out to God, and found solace and comfort in words that came to her in the form of poetry, prose, and songs.  Given time, she overcame her despair and pressed into God more deeply, learning to accept her situation, and determined to make the best of life, despite its difficulties.

She thought of creative ways to parent her children, and spent a lot of quality time with them in her room, which now became “the family room”.  Reading stories, playing board games, doing homework, check in points, talks, and watching favorite shows were now the norm.

Once the boys were older, LauraBeth knew she was being called to share her poetry, and her story with others, to offer anyone going through difficulties a sense of comfort and hope!  She had been given the name “Cheerful Hearts” about ten years prior as a vision.  And knew one day she would have a company that provided “Good Medicine” to the soul.

In 2006, while still confined to four walls, that dream was realized, as she turned ten years’ worth of writing into an inspirational greeting card, gift, and keepsake line!   She also began sharing her story as a motivational speaker, encouraging others that no matter their circumstance, with perseverance, faith, and determination,  that they can overcome any difficulty they face!  In 2009, she became a Live Your Best Life Coach, offering those going through their own challenges a clear path, with strategic steps to move forward to live their own inspired life full of possibilities!

It is her heart’s passion to encourage, uplift, inspire and motivate you, wherever you are in this journey of life!  She genuinely cares about people, and wants to bring joy to others through her work.

MH22-28 Ronald A. Alexander, Open Mindfulness Creativity

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Ronald A. Alexander, on air from June 28th

The Big Idea: When artists describe their creative process, they inevitably talk about being in an open mind state where the download of core creativity can happen. Musicians such as The Band’s Robbie Robertson’s description that “Creativity comes from the womb of emptiness” to James Taylor’s observation about “waiting to hear it” and having “to be in a place where you can receive the song” reveal that creativity isn’t a rational, calculated activity. It’s about allowing oneself to become receptive. 

The So-What: Mindfulness meditation takes us out of overthinking and into the mind state of receptivity. The stillness and focus involved in meditation alters our brainwaves, and therefore, our mind state. Distraction-free time leads us to an open mind. Both core creativity and intuitive wisdom and knowledge can be accessed in an open mind state — not because we have an open mind, or are trying to be open minded, but because we’re in a state of pure receptivity after giving ourselves over to emptiness.

Key Messages: Ron Alexander can expound on the exciting possibilities available to us all to open the mind and stimulate creative responses. He explores: 

  • Where ideas ultimately originate from 
  • What valuable mind-sets and habits can prepare us to achieve creative breakthroughs  
  • How to activate the “witnessing self” to become less emotionally reactive and more open to new experiences 
  • How to embrace what Buddhists call beginner’s mind to approach what’s familiar with a fresh perspective 
  • How dreams offer clues to what’s unfinished or unexpressed in our lives

BB22-28. Manuj Aggarwal Knowledge verses Influence.

“Influence and credibility is the main currency in this market and how to earn it rapidly”

People are not paying attention to you anymore? They really don’t care what you know, because the information is everywhere. What they’re looking for is not your expertise and knowledge, it’s your influence. And when you can demonstrate your influence, it’s a complete game-changer in the way people look at you and how you’re perceived. By increasing your influence, you can then increase your income and your outcomes.

LM22-27. James Campion and “Take a Sad Songs” Inspiration.


fir the LOVE of Music with Sara Troy and her guest James Campion, on air from

In The Emotional Currency of “Hey Jude,” James Campion dives deeply into the song’s origins, recording, visual presentation, impact, and eventual influence, while also discovering what makes “Hey Jude” a classic musical expression of personal comfort and societal unity conceived by a master songwriter, Paul McCartney. Within its melodic brilliance and lyrical touchstones of empathy and nostalgia resides McCartney’s personal and professional relationship with his childhood friend and songwriting partner, John Lennon, and their simultaneous pursuit of the women who would complete them. There are also clues to the growing turmoil within the Beatles and their splintering generation scarred by war, assassination, and virulent protest.

Campion’s journey into the song includes the insights of experts in the fields of musicology, sociology, , and history. Campion also reveals commentary from noted Beatles authors, biographers, music historians, and journalists and, finally, a peek into the craft of songwriting from a host of talented composers across several generations. 

Take a Sad Song is a tribute to how a song can define, inspire, and affect us in ways we do not always fully comprehend, as well as a celebration of a truly amazing track in the Beatles canon that reveals one band’s genius and underscores its lasting voice in our cultural and musical landscape.

22-28 Taking the time to do…..

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from July

Why do we feel guilty in taking time for our selves? Why do we feel pressured to be active every moment always doing never still? It is because we have bought this idea that we need to be always building in order to achieve. I disagree, stillness, taking time away, reflection, re directing it essential in our success and guides us on a path that we are meant to be on, not a societies dictation.

I am shutting down for 3 weeks in the summer, one week to see family and friends, 2 weeks to write my book ( or get as much as I can in that time) I have started, but always there is something else I am meant to do, like shows, looking after my Grandson (which I love to do) and attending to my senior lady friend who always wants to go out.

It is ok to say NO, not now, I need time, got something else on, maybe later, or I simply can’t do it. It is your boundary, your choice and you have the right to do it. Time management is so important, equally so when it allows you to just have time to be you, or do that something you want to do, but life has got in the way of.

So I will not be bringing you shows after July 28th until August 30th, and I will be concentrating on my book, and the book invite for the Forgotten Children book series.
