MH23-35. Deborah L. Staunton and (DMDD)

August 28, 2023December 30, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Deborah L. Staunton, on air from August 29th

Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a condition in which children or adolescents experience ongoing irritability, anger, and frequent, intense temper outbursts. The symptoms of DMDD go beyond a “bad mood.” DMDD symptoms are severe.

I am the daughter of a mentally ill alcoholic father and the mother of a mentally ill daughter. At that time it was a brand new diagnosis, very little was known about it and there were no resources for parents. Now that she is 18, her diagnoses have changed and while they are still challenging, I have insight and clarity that I didn’t have then. Sharing my experience and what I learned from it can help parents who are on that difficult journey with their own kids. It can save them some heartache and provide validation and support. Mental illness still has a lot of stigma associated with it and removing that stigma is an important step in supporting those who suffer from it and those who love them.

YH23-35. Sherri Scott& Nutrition Energy/Frequency

August 28, 2023August 28, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Sherri Scott, on air from August 29th

Everyone should be encouraged to learn how the body can naturally detox, and regenerate on its own, if we provide the information, tools (nutrition, energy/frequency) and guidance. I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in 2016 with meets to liver, spleen and lower lung lobe. I was told my prognosis was grim, to prepare for leaving this earth. The fear tactic was utilized to try to convince me to go in for full right breast and partial left breast mastectomy with anticipation of follow-up with chemo or radiation and reconstructive surgeries. It all sounded overwhelming to me. I have managed my MS for almost 10 years with nutrition, lifestyle management and herbs however this was more intense. My hubby reminded me that “I Had this”. I wasn’t so confident.

As a Holistic Nutritionist, I figured nutrition, life style management would be enough – I just needed to be very strict. It wasn’t enough. I spent many hours searching for answers, solutions. I knew energy to the cell was key.

I had, just prior to my diagnosis, purchased a frequency system that I thought it might be a good time to learn how to use it! So I did. I have not looked back! I use frequency every day for myself, my friends and family, even my pets.

This was my introduction to frequencies. I have not looked back. I now help others around the world tap into their own boy’s natural regenerative abilities utilizing nutrition and frequency. The latest frequency is the most outstanding! Terahertz frequencies are amazing. There is plenty of research out there on it and it is definitely worthwhile to look into!

I am a holistic nutritionist, Cellular detoxification & regeneration Specialist. I provide the tools, information an guidance to those who wish to ulitize the body’s natural ability to return to optimal health with as little interference as possible.

RGC23-33. Nancy Cotten, Autism Advocate/Advisor.

August 14, 2023December 22, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Nanacy Cotten, on air August 15th

Nancy says “I am an Autism Advocate/Advisor. I help parents develop strategies to avoid things that can exacerbate problems as well as help provide ideas that can help make their lives easier from the effects of meltdowns, anxiety, poor diet, poor sleep and many sensory issues.”

My degree is in elementary education, and my passion has always been to provide the best care and education for children. Walking alongside parents through some difficult journeys with typically developing and neurodiverse children has been the honor of a lifetime. In my 23+ year career as a corporate child care director for a large hospital, I saw a number of children who were on the spectrum. Many parents brought their children to the center after nights of little sleep. They were worried about their children’s nutrition because of poor diets and they were frustrated and overwhelmed by the meltdowns and anxiety their children were experiencing. I have felt so much empathy for them and thought there must be strategies to make things better and so I began to search for answers. Later a grandson was born and he is on the spectrum. I have continued doing extensive research into my retirement years and have found many ways to help the autistic community. I feel compelled to share what I have found.

I come from a line of teachers. Back in the early 1900’s, my grandfather was the teacher in a one room schoolhouse. Years later, my mother was a middle school teacher and then I became a teacher. While my husband was in pharmacy school, I taught math in middle school and then I was needed as a first grade teacher. After staying home while nurturing our three young children, I was hired as the director of a large hospitals onsite child care center which had 3 shifts of staff and was open year round, initially never closing even for holidays. I took that center through an arduous National Association for the Education of Young Children accreditation process and the center remained accredited for many years. After retirement, I have continued to do extensive research looking for strategies to help parents of autistic children and adults. I have a support group in the North Texas area for parents of mainly teens and adults.

Nancy wrote.

Because of people’s positive thoughts, kind words were said,

Because of the kind words people said, others were encouraged,

Because others were encouraged, they spoke up about injustice,

Because they spoke up about injustice, a group was formed,

Because a group was formed, major action was taken,

Because major action was taken, children were saved from being trafficked,

Because children were saved from being trafficked, societies changed,

Because societies changed, the world changed.

All because of people’s positive thoughts and kind words.

Change begins with us.

Nancey has contributed to Our Forgotten Children’s book series.

23-33. Our Tone of Voice

August 14, 2023August 13, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 15th

I recall a particular show from a decade ago, which, interestingly enough, still resonates strongly with audiences today. The central theme of this production revolved around the concept of tone and its profound impact on our interactions with others. It explored how the manner in which we deliver our words sets the stage for how we are perceived and received by those around us.

Imagine this: you have a message to convey, an idea to share, or a point to make. Now, consider the importance of employing the right tone to accompany your words. It acts as an inviting ambassador, encouraging others to lend an ear and truly listen to what you have to say. On the other hand, a misguided or inappropriate tone can unintentionally create barriers, hindering effective communication and dampening engagement.

By consciously setting the tone, we shape the narrative of our communication. It is an art that requires thoughtful consideration and skillful execution. How we choose to articulate our thoughts and deliver our messages greatly influences how others perceive and interpret them. It can be the difference between genuine connection and misunderstanding.

So, I encourage you to reflect upon the power of tone in your own communication endeavors. Ask yourself, “What tone would best convey my intentions? How can I create an inviting atmosphere that encourages others to actively listen and engage with my ideas?”

Remember, it’s not just about the content of our words; it’s about how we express them. When we master the art of setting a positive, welcoming tone, we open the doors to meaningful conversations and build stronger connections with those around us.

Let this related insight guide your future interactions: “Set the tone you wish to be listened to.” By embodying this principle, you’ll find that your messages resonate more profoundly and that others are more receptive to what you have to say. So, choose your words carefully, but remember that the tone in which you deliver them is equally vital.

May you embark on this journey of intentional communication and discover the immense impact a well-crafted tone can have on the world around you.
