July 17, 2023July 13, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy nd her guest Suzanne Anderson, on air from July 18th

Suzanne Anderson recently released her new book You Make Your Path By Walking: A Transformational Field Guide Through Trauma and Loss on June 13, 2023, published by She Writes Press.

When her beloved husband took his life, and with it her life as she knew it, Suzanne Anderson faced a choice: would she be broken down and defeated, or broken open and transformed? Part memoir, part guidebook, You Make Your Path By Walking accompanies readers on their own journeys through the barren landscape of trauma and grief, offering comfort, guidance, and inspiration to make meaning out of loss. Whether you are going through a personal dark night or struggling with these uncertain and disruptive global times, this book offers a proven pathway to allow the breaking down to be the breaking open into a whole new way of living, loving, and leading.

Drawing from her years of exploration into the development of human potential and the personal, shattering journey of loss, Suzanne guides you to make your own path through the darkest of times—and to become a light in the world that others can look to in their own times of need.

July 17, 2023May 28, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Mindy Scheirer, on air from July 18th

Before starting the Runway of Dreams Foundation in 2014, Mindy spent 20 years working in fashion as a designer for the INC collection and as a stylist for Saks Fifth Avenue. Mindy was inspired to start Runway of Dreams after her son Oliver, who has Muscular Dystrophy, dreamed of wearing jeans like everyone else. After using her design skills to adapt jeans that met his needs and increased his confidence, she went on to conduct extensive research as to the modifications required to mainstream clothing to meet the needs of the largest minority in our world- people with disabilities.

In 2016, Mindy partnered with Tommy Hilfiger to make fashion history creating the first mainstream adaptive clothing line in the market. Runway of Dreams was founded on the basis that clothing is a basic human need. The foundation develops, delivers, and supports initiatives providing a platform to broaden the reach of mainstream adaptive clothing and promote people with disabilities (PWDs) in the fashion industry. The 2022, the Runway of Dreams fashion show was recognized as one of the top seven NYFW shows by Forbes, highlighting the latest designs from the Adaptive category featuring brands such as Kohl’s, Target, JCPenney, Zappos.com and Tommy Hilfiger.

C23-28. Michelle Harwood, Gratitude for my Cancer

July 10, 2023August 3, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Michelle Harwood Lange, on air from July 11th

Facing the diagnosis of cancer was like being hit by a freight train. The world as I knew it came to a screeching halt. But as I navigated through the fear, the pain, and the uncertainty, I discovered something profound. I discovered myself. Cancer, as strange as it may sound, became a gift. It stripped away the superficial layers of my life and forced me to confront my own mortality. It was in this confrontation that I found a deep, unshakeable love for myself. I began to appreciate my body, not for its appearance or its abilities, but for its resilience, its strength, and its will to survive. I found purpose in my journey. I realized that I am here to live, to experience, to grow, and to contribute. I am here to share my story, to inspire others, and to make a difference in whatever way I can. I am here to honor my existence and to live my truth. Through the trials and tribulations, I discovered my resilience. I found strength in places I didn’t know existed. I learned to lean into the discomfort, to embrace the uncertainty, and to keep moving forward, no matter how hard it got. Today, I live in honor of who I am and what I am here to do. I am not just a cancer survivor; I am a warrior, a beacon of hope, a testament to the human spirit’s indomitable strength. I am a living, breathing example of the transformative power of self-love and acceptance. Cancer did not break me; it made me. It brought me to a place of profound self-love, meaningful purpose, and acceptance of my very being. And for that, I am eternally grateful.

C23-28. Dee Lippingwell Canada’s Rock and Roll Photographer.

July 10, 2023October 4, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Dee Lippingwell, on air from July 11th

Vancouver born and award winning photographer DEE LIPPINGWELL began her self taught professional photography career over 40 years ago. Her love of music propelled her into shooting local musicians and her success on that level led her into shooting all the world famous performers that we are so familiar with today.

Through her hard-edged determination and a commitment to photography, Dee has had her photographs published world-wide. Her candidly striking photos of the world’s most famous personalities adorn exhibit halls, magazines, newspapers, calendars and some of her prints were even selected for the National Library of Canada.
It has been her great honour to be the recipient of Canada’s Famous Women Award as the first woman in her field to earn this distinction of achievement, having been published in every major newspaper in Canada. More recently she was inducted into the BC Country Music Association Hall of Fame in recognition of her photographic contributions to the Association for over 25 years, adding hundreds of Country artists to her catalogue of Rock ’n Roll heroes!

In 2022 Dee’s collection of thousands of photographs was accepted into the National Music Centre – Studio Bell – in Calgary, Alberta, where a special section will be dedicated to her vast collection of photographs for all to see.
Although Dee’s work has been published all over the world since the start of her career she is definitely proud of the fact that she was a featured photographer in the best-selling “Expo Celebration Book” published in 1986. Her photographs were also a main feature of another best-selling book by Greg Potter and Red Robinson – “Backstage Vancouver”, published in 2004. She was also a substantial contributor to the “100 Years of Fun – The PNE Story”, released in 2011. Most recently Dee was part of the “Live at the Commodore” historical rendition by Aaron Chapman.

In 1987 Dee published her first book of photographs called “The Best Seat In The House”… a title since used by major companies to promote their own products! This book was a collection of her best photos of rock and roll royalty to that date. She started her own publishing company (No Flash Publishing) and compiled photos and stories for her second book, “First three Sons…No Flash!” which not only highlights the famous performers that she’s shot but also deals with the behind-the-scenes, sometimes amusing, stories associated with her concert photos…it seems that everyone wants to know what it’s like backstage with the Rolling Stones!

In 2021 Dee published “Memories From The Mountain”, a photographic essay depicting the 17 years (1993-2009) that she was the head photographer for the Merritt Mountain Music Festival. This was a Limited Edition printing and sold out quickly so another book was published featuring all the artists that performed over the year.

Just a sample of some of the greats Dee has captured over the years.

Deb Drummond is a remarkable woman driven by a powerful mission. She is a staunch advocate for women in business and the music industry, as well as a motivator in all aspects of life. I have had the privilege of interviewing Deborah on multiple occasions, and I encourage you to listen to those interviews, which you can find HERE. Through these conversations, you will gain insights into her incredible journey and the wisdom she shares.

One of the notable endeavours Deb is involved in is the “Show Up, Stand Up, and Speak Up” events, held live on the 8th of every month. These events provide a platform for individuals to come together, share their stories, and inspire one another. If you are seeking empowerment and connection, I highly recommend attending these transformative gatherings. You can sign up for the events HERE.

In addition to her impactful events, Deb is currently curating a book with “262 Women.” This compilation will feature illuminating stories from 262 incredible women, showcasing their unique journeys and wisdom. It promises to be a source of inspiration and empowerment.

Looking ahead, Deb has set her sights on an extraordinary challenge. In 2024, she plans to walk across Ireland to raise funds for musicians. This ambitious endeavour reflects her unwavering commitment to supporting and uplifting individuals in the music industry.

Deb Drummond is an embodiment of passion, resilience, and a driving force for positive change. Her dedication to empowering women, fostering connections, and making a difference in the world is truly admirable. I encourage you to explore her work, attend her events, and join her in creating a more inclusive and supportive community.

OCEAN DRUMMOND-BAKER
Ocean Drummond-Baker was born in, and lives in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. Ocean has an intense love for art & fashion. He had shown a keen eye for design by the age of 10, and by age 12, was a full blown sneakerhead and hype beast, well-known in the streetwear community. Going to every Sneaker Con he could talk his parents into paying for, Ocean was unique in this culture as compared to the masses that just wanted to collect, buy, and sell; he wanted to create. Create the clothing, create the logos, design the patterns, and build the shoes from scratch.

By age 16, Ocean was headed to Los Angeles to be the understudy of an established fashion designer, and while there, sitting at a sewing machine cutting patterns and smiling ear to ear, Ocean designed and created his first pair of Nike’s. This is the heart in which his company Natsukashii was born.
Ocean is an avid surfer and loves everything to do with water. He loves shopping, traveling hanging out in Tofino BC, trying new restaurants, and reading anime books. He is also a lover of music and music stores, especially ones that offer vinyl.
