Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy on air form June 21st
Do not conform to please others, be your own joy your own way. We are inclined to celebrate ones mile stones in life in a way that empresses others, but that can stress you out and end up being fake. Be your own joy and have that celebration in a way the represents you and the joy you feel, think out of the box of tradition and conformity.
I have recently come from a 4 day wedding that was set on a lake and which was totally different to other weddings. It was fun, original and relaxing because the expectation of what that joy of celebration was not dictated to be, but was instead a joy of love that was meant to be.
We stress out trying to impress, serve and live up to an expectation that will never please everyone and will leave us disappointed. Instead, just have joyful fun, do what feels right for you, you set the stage and even ask others to help, and let the fun and celebration be what it is meant to be. We have forgotten to allow fun and joy and celebration of life happen, we try to mold it and manipulate it until it is not more a representation of our joy. So set the stage, invite the people, be the joy in that celebration and allow the fun to be, keep it light, fun and happy, and all will have a good time that will be truly remembered.

We are currently in the process of building a kennel system so that we can begin breeding our beautiful golden retriever support dogs. We have been doing all of this plus everything you see on our website out of our own pockets. When we do charge for say some of the classes, we do it for what we pay for the materials. Here soon we will have to take on the expenses of more vet bills, dog food, and so much more. Michael knows first hand how impactful a dog can be, being a Vet who has his own P.S.T.D. he used to wake up with shadows coming through the walls cause him to go for his gun, now with a dog sleeping with him, he no longer has those nightmares.
A dog can sense the pain, anguish, the anxiety the health needs and the fear and more, and with their undying love, they are there for us in a way like no one else can be, so support Michael with his program to get dogs to those in need so they can help those with life challenges navigate life more easily.

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest JoAnn Erwin, on air from June 7th
JoAnn Ewin was an exemplary nurse working at Little Sandy Correctional, but one day she said no to a date with the warden and her life was sent upside down. Today nearly 8 years later she is still fighting for her wrongful dismissal and the justification of being blacklisted and persecuted.
Former Prison Nurse tells all in her memoir. Sexual harassment, lies, and court cases that seem to never be brought to a closure. Elliott County, Kentucky, 2022 JoAnn Erwin has released her first book, a memoir about her time as a prison nurse, for preorder. Her ongoing court case, because of her wrongful termination, is continually delayed. While waiting for the judge to make a final ruling, JoAnn is ready to tell her story to the public. Preorder will be available till June 30, 2022, when the eBook will be available for purchase. A paperback edition is planned to be released after June 30, 2022, as well.
Will justice prevail or will she be caught in the big man’s cluTS20-20 Sexual harassment and wrongful dismissal accountability of sweeping it all under the rug? She shares her story with us and prays that justice will prevail in June at her next court hearing.
JoAnn set out to write her memoir to bring awareness to the corruption in the prison and court systems in the state of Kentucky. Her experiences are not exclusive to just her own story but have happened to others. What started as a hostile work environment where favoritism and sexual innuendos were prevalent turned into a wrongful termination when JoAnn refused to have a drink with the warden. After daring to stand up for the rights of inmates to receive doctor ordered medical care provisions and refusing the warden’s proposition for a date, JoAnn found herself declared a security risk. She was also blocked from holding any nursing position at any of Kentucky’s state prisons. Now, after several years of court, her case is still unresolved.
Sexual harassment, lies, cover-ups, mistreatment of staff and inmates. These wrongs have happened at one time or other in the thirteen Kentucky state prison facilities. Every attempt is made to keep things that happen behind these walls quiet. The public does not know what goes on in a state prison. I have experienced all the above and more during my employment at Little Sandy Correctional Complex. I am Jodie Erwin, and this is my experience as a prison nurse. This memoir includes firsthand experiences inside of a Kentucky state prison. A must read for those considering going into the field of prison nursing. This memoir gives insight into nursing inside of a prison and the challenges that arise from being a caregiver for prisoners. With the constant pressure to both give adequate medical care and to do what is in the prison’s inner circles’ best interests, this book exposes the brokenness of the system and those who are in charge. Even working inside a prison for a short time has emotional, mental, and physical consequences. With the added pressure of unchecked sexism and harassment, this memoir reveals the darker side of this type of work. Behind These Walls will be available for purchase in both eBook and paperback editions
JoAnn (Jodie) Erwin was born in Olive Hill, Kentucky. She is the oldest of six children. She worked as a factory worker in Morehead, Kentucky till she lost her job in 2002. Seeking a more stable career she returned to college to pursue a nursing degree. Jodie was forty-seven years old when she went to nursing school. In December 2005, Jodie graduated from the LPN program and went to work at a nursing home. It was 2012 when she took a position at a prison and her life was set on its current course. She would face some of the darkest and most difficult times of her life. Turning to writing Jodie has started a journey of healing by sharing her memories of being a prison LPN with her readers.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from May 31st
Everyone of us has needed some support in our live, be it physical or mental or spiritual support, we have needed it, but was it there for us? I have had my own journey when I needed support, and some times, one does not know what it is we need, maybe just someone who hears us, feels us, and knows how to help us move fast the pain, anguish or just feeling stuck.
For the last 10 years I have been bringing you people who have been the answer to your needs because they too know what it is like, and because they have already gone through the process and now have the skills and knowledge to help you go through it too. Some of these people have known real hell, but decided to find the courage, strength and discovery their skills into wholeness and self love, and are now helping others to do the same.
Inspiration begets Invitation, and when we are inspired, we are invited to take that first leap, which is our first step on the road of recovery. BUT, we have to want it, we have to LISTEN, READ, LEARN AND AND APPLY. It does not just materialize, but can be fond when you consciously look, when you truly hear, and when you are ready to apply and reach out to the ones who are here to help you.
They maybe they are the answer to your question, but you are the application with those answers, there is no escape, of denial or blaming of others, there is just action and a choice to hear those that wish to support you on your way to FLAWESOMENESS AND PERSONAL ABUNDANCE. WILL YOU LISTEN? WILL YOU HEAR? WILL YOU CHOOSE ANOTHER PATH AND HEAL BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HEAL? IT IS ALL UP TO YOU.
