Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Christie Nix, on air from November 29th
IF YOU HAD A CHILDHOOD, YOU WILL WANT rREST
Here’s why. All your challenges, all your stress, all your relationships that trouble you, are tied to pivotal childhood moments that shape your adult perspectives. Whether you recognize them or not, they live with a vengeance in your subconscious, emotional mind.
This is why you unconsciously end up trying to solve adult problems with childish coping tactics, amplifying the stress, and repeating the bad habits that hold you back.
Without rewiring the old triggers you developed as a child, it will continue to be difficult to take control of your future. You’ll be stuck in the cycle of frustrating outcomes to adversities in your life.
Christie Nix, is a professional speaker, visual artist, expert storyteller, and emotional clarity coach. She has edited and produced full-length films. She is a Reiki Master, a Therapeutic Yoga Instructor, and Co-founder of the revolutionary coaching practice rREST (that’s “rest” spelled with two r’s). She is partnered with two PhD scientists with expertise in neuroscience and molecular biology. Together, they are on a mission to help YOU conquer your emotions using science-backed techniques, with proven results over the past 20 years.

Sara’s View or Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 29th
Tis the time to be jolly LALALALALALA, I know times are hard, cost have risen, stocks are low, service is slow, but be patient for if we choose to be in joy, we will see the joy. It is not about the gifts, it is Jesus birthday, and he would want everyone to be joyful and come together with love and compassion for each other.
I know it is hard to find that perfect gift within your price range, but do not sweat it, for anything given with love and intent is a gift worth receiving. It is the time to come together and share our joy and gratitude for what we have and what we can still do, not what we have lost. The gift is in the joy of being with each other, not how much the gift cost. Coming together to share the joy of each other, the laughter, the spirit of giving, the love of giving of your self, your essence of joy, that is where the true spirit lays.
If you are buying fits, make one, of get creative within your budget, and if what you want to buy is not in stock, think of something else. Keep with in your budget, and remember, when going to someone’s for a party of dinner, to offer to do the dishes, or help cleaning up, believe me, that is a gift in its self.
Please be patient out there while driving, shopping, everyone is in a hurry, and all our workers are run of their feet, remember to show gratitude to them too. Also, please do not forget the lonely, the one’s you know have no whwere to go, having them at your table will be an added gift to one and all. If you are on your own, volunteer somewhere, it will warm your heart and you will be doing it with others. Also you can gather others you know are alone and get together with a potluck and enjoy each other.
Please remember that even though Christmas is about Christs birthday, we all celebrate it in some way or other, for it is about togetherness with our hearts, souls and high spirits.

“for the LOVE of Music” with Sara Troy and her guest Mathew Wade, on air from June 27th
Billboard Magazine states, “My Silent Bravery plays like a major label signing, from its production savvy, eloquent lyrics, authoritative imaging, polished web site, a dedicated Northeast U.S. fan following, merchandising, and most important, a chockablock collection of winning songs. My Silent Bravery is destined to make major noise.”
My Silent Bravery symbolizes persistence, perseverance and inner strength to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity. It is this type of determination that helped Matthew Wade of My Silent Bravery overcome a sports injury in his youth which led him to pursue his passion in music. The injury opened the door to spirituality and a higher calling. Matthew realized he wanted to become a better person and a more sharing individual. Through personal work and transformation, he learned the importance of “paying it forward” and now feels one of his missions in life is to help inspire others to do the same by delivering his positive message to the masses through the music of My Silent Bravery.
