Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Adam Stanecki, on air from July 11th
I believe that the breath is the foundation of all health and wellness. It is the most fundamental aspect of our being. And yet it is often overlooked. I am on a mission to remind people that they can positively impact their health, wellness, and performance through breath practice. Breathe practice has been a part of the human experience for thousands of years and it is time to reconnect and harness the power of the breath.
My name is Adam Stanecki. I’m known as The Breath Geek. As a child, I struggled with severe asthma, which I managed to eliminate with my own breath practice. I have been interested in the breath for my whole life. Learning how to breathe correctly literally changed my life. I am a Certified Instructor with Buteyko Clinic International, an Advanced Instructor in The Oxygen Advantage, and a trained breathwork practitioner and psychotherapist. I teach the Buteyko Breathing Method to adults, teens, and children to naturally treat asthma, allergies, anxiety, and more. I also coach individuals, corporations and sports teams to perform better with functional breathing.

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Linda Joy Benn, on air from August 1st.
In the depths of our existence, we often encounter profound challenges that test our very being. Whether it’s a dark night of the soul or a series of transformative experiences, we might find ourselves questioning, “Why me?” But amidst the turmoil, profound inner wisdom reminds us that we chose this lifetime precisely to undergo this metamorphosis. While trusting in the universe, spirit, or the divine may be difficult at times, it is crucial on our journey of transformation. This is especially true for business owners and corporate directors, as they strive to remember their true selves and embrace the darkness while ascending toward their soul’s purpose. Join us on this captivating podcast, “Love Yourself on Your Discovery of Your Soul’s Purpose,” as we explore the transformative power of self-love and the quest to unlock the true essence of our souls.

Their Story Matters with Sara troy and her guest Richard Battle, on air from July 25 th
Fathers day has come and gone, but what about the other 364 days of the year? Many fathers react differently to the day depending on where they are in their lives! It may be especially difficult for a father who has lost a child. Award-winning author Richard V. Battle tragically lost his son when he was nine months old! Like every father, Richard wished to give his son a life full of possibilities, opportunities, and the future he deserved. He wrote his six-month-old baby boy John a letter sharing 43 truths, based on Christian scripture, just in case he didn’t survive to teach them to him. But the unthinkable reality did not give Richard the time or opportunity!
Richard’s new book ‘The Unopened Present’ reveals a father’s love and the gift left behind by a life cut short. It expands on the letter Richard wrote many years ago, filled with timeless truths in short, easy-to-read lessons to aid parents in teaching younger children and enable older kids to discover the wisdom in these life lessons on their own.
“It was important to me for my son to benefit from the lessons I had learned, without making the mistakes I had made,” says Battle, a father, media commentator, and award-winning author of ten books. “Unfortunately, we lost John in 1998, but my son taught me more than I had the time to teach him”, acknowledges Battle who offers his new book with a prayer that people find something in it to benefit them, their children, and family.
Richard’s battle with the loss of his infant son and his dealing with grief inspired him to help grieving parents and dads. “Our faith assures us we will see our loved one again. I don’t grieve where my son is, but where he isn’t,” believes Richard and this has been a beacon that motivates him to tackle each day with positivity.
Richard V. Battle is a multi-award-winning author, media commentator, and motivational speaker on leadership, sales, and faith for over 30 years. He is an experienced corporate executive and has served in leadership positions at several leading non-profit organizations. Richard is a regular guest on or in dozens of leading media outlets, including Fox TV, Rush to Reason in Denver, The Al Travis Show in Minnesota, The New Rationalist, The Washington Times, WMT, Real America’s Voice, KMOX St. Louis, and Newsmax.
Signed copies of The Unopened Present are available at www.richardbattle.com. The new book is also available at Amazon.com, HeadlineBooks.com, and bookstores everywhere.
Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Ruth Smith, on air from July 25th
I was born with water in my veins – or so it seems.
As a child I often wished that gills had been standard issue for humans. Water and I have always had an inseparable connection. For forty-two years, teaching and coaching of swimming in pools in Australia and overseas has been my genius.
At 14 I became an active Australian Surf Life Saving Club member and the first professional female Beach Inspector in New South Wales. My professional and volunteer hours were…wet. In my early career in the disability-care field I was fortunate to be introduced to hydroptherapy, The Halliwick Method and numerous influential mentors.
Water is my ‘impact vehicle’, the medium through which I facilitate the transformation of lives, especially when children with intellectual or physical challenges are added to the mix.
As National winner of the 2022 Australian ‘Teacher of Aquatics – Access & Inclusion’ award my work leading the Aquatic Therapy industry in Australia has been recognised by our national peak body.
Put simply it’s a water-based healing modality that utilises specialised equipment and techniques to enhance students’ proprioception, motor planning, self-regulation, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive focus, muscle tone, communication and co-ordination. Water safety and propulsion is a common therapeutic goal.
I’m inspired working with ‘neuro-diverse’ and physically challenged youngsters. It’s a soul-driven mission that I can’t explain. Simply, it’s a privilege from which I derive inexplicable and immeasurable satisfaction and sense of self-worth.
My legacy is to remain at the cutting edge, develop both research and university-level post graduate courses and continue the development of the next generation of aquatic professionals.
While ever I’m physically capable I’ll continue to have water logged skin and smell like a chlorine advertisement. Working with this challenged cohort is often like looking into another’s soul. At other times it’s like they have allowed me to cross over their threshold and am invited into their world. Maybe only fleeting at times, but it is there I have my greatest impact.
My WHY.
This if two fold.
Aquatic therapy – using the magical medium of water to work with students 1:1 with challenging behaviours which precludes them from participating in the traditional group swim class. For example, cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, autism, non verbal, hearing impaired, other rare conditions. AT uses the water to developed proprioception, motor planning skills, fine and gross motor skills, focus, pro social behaviours, co-ordination, etc. AT uses specialist equipment and has a multidisciplinary approach.
Around the world there is an increase of students with challenging behaviours into our traditional swimming lessons. Our teachers here in Australia are not well prepared for this neurodiversity within their lessons. I am concerned that we may lose more teachers from this industry if we don’t have them feeling empowered, confident and competent to work with this population. I, with my colleague Lyn, we are Aquatic Mentors and we are setting about providing training and support to swim school operators and their staff around this very subject.
It all started at Uni. I was doing Sport Science and was heading to the Australian Institute of Sport where I would be THE person to create the fastest swimmers on the planet. I was always interested in the way the body moved in water. I took an elective which saw me working with a pediatric physio who used the water as her therapy medium. I was hooked. Later in my travelling the world I was fortunate to work with James McMillan in England who developed the Halliwick method of teaching “handicapped” people to move efficiently throu the water. Returning home, another touch point was working with allied health professionals in the transport accident rehab facility – head injury unit. Again, water was used by the physios and OT’s for rehabilitation.
Those years stayed with me as I grew a family. I continued to be involved with teaching, coaching while helping people with disabilities finding employment. I found it easy to be amongst the neurodiverse community and in 2015 I was able to combine by love of the water and my gift of working with students with challenging behaviours in my own swimming centre.
I continued to travel and learn more and more after doing all I could here in Australia. I travelled to the USA and Canada and hope to plan another study tour to the Phillipines where they are doing interesting things in this space as well.
My dream is to have a Centre of Excellence for Aquatic Therapy, a purpose-built pool in Australia where the allied health professions can have rooms for their clients as well. It would be a multidisciplinary approach for clients from around the world all under the one roof. It would also be a place where people can come and train to be aquatic therapists from all around the world.
