Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest LaChelle Adkins,on air from November 3rd
LaChelle Adkins, America’s Super Mum of 15 children, know about stress and the balancing of work, kids in covid times.
What is life like for a 49 year old woman who has been married to Jerome Adkins for 27 years, who is a retired Major in the United States Army and Pastor of World Fellowship of Jesus Christ and parents of 15 children? It has been adventurous to say the least. Raised as an only child, the transition to staying home and walking away from a career was a hard one to make. The anxiety of doing everything right, pleasing others and seeking validation led to a life of depression that resulted in 3 hospitalizations. However, that period of 13 years of battling depression led to a personal journey to find self. No longer liking the victim mindset, LaChelle came up with a strategy to overcome depression that she has named Fresh start. She is now an inspirational speaker and coach to empower women to be proactive in their mental wellness.
In addition to life coaching she uses her degree in Marketing from Indiana University to help small businesses increase their market share.
LaChelle enjoys accomplishing impossible feats because she believes that is evidence of God working in her life and creates momentum in her life when she is faced with challenges in life. Her goal is to leave a lasting impression with everyone that she meets and add value to make their lives better.
Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Jackie Van Campen, on air from October 6th
I grew up in a country where being sexually active at 12/13 y/o was normalized. Teen pregnancy was (and still is) a common occurrence. By the time I was 12, I was already making out with 15/16-y/o boys. By the time I was 13, I was making out with a 23-y/o man. It was normal for young women to date much older guys. Enter the movie “Cutie” on Netflix. After reading so many posts of distraught women bashing Netflix for the hypersexualization of children for the way they were promoting the show, I decided to watch it for myself and gather my own opinions on it. If all you got from it was the hypersexualization of children, you missed very significant pieces and layers, including what leads to these issues. As I watching the show, I was reminded of my own experiences and things I saw growing up
– Poverty
Religious and cultural oppression of women
Peer pressure
Lack of open communication between parents and children
There’s so much I want to say about these points and how some of them directly impacted me as a tween/teen and then as an adult. I’m still gathering my thoughts…One thing I’ll say is that as I look at my own girls (22, 15, and 12), I’m grateful that their experiences so far have been very different than mine at their respective ages. We don’t protect our children by hiding things from them. We protect them by having open dialogue and communication – something I did not have growing up. I hope that instead of freaking out over things, we can actually have open and honest conversations, especially as women, because if we want to change the way children are hypersexualized, we need to start by confronting the issues that lead to it, including the demons in our own closets..

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Heather Prince, on air from August 11th
Indigo children are those that have been prophesied, those that will bring with them a new understanding of life. This book aims to show you who you really are. Indigo children are intuitive, bright and strong-willed. Being a teenager is challenging anyway but being an Indigo is both wonderful and extra challenging. They are often misunderstood as they don’t fit into the ‘one size fits all’ established rules and patterns. This causes problems at school and in the home. The book explains what an Indigo is and a questionnaire to discover if a person is an Indigo and which type. You’ll be fascinated to discover why Indigos are here, what qualities they have and how to help Indigos using alternative solutions to improve self image, achieve their goals, and get along with parents/teachers.

I’ve stood where you are! Maybe not in the exact spot, but I can guarantee you I’ve certainly encountered my own fair share of professional and personal successes and challenges and I’ve even learned to enjoy riding the waves!
At 50 years old, my ex said he needed space and it wasn’t me, it was him and he left, after 34 years together! From there I knew that his words were purely subjective and that I could either choose to play the victim or I could choose to take action and whole-heartedly believe that I could and I would prove to myself that I could live the life I wanted! Yet, these experiences often make us grow stronger and to this day ironically I am ever grateful.
I also learned that in order to truly succeed, you need the right support network and tribe behind you in order to challenge negativity, fear, and judgment. For me, it was my family and friends. For you, I will be your most supportive cheerleader and help you overcome the challenges to celebrating each success with you! Through these experiences, your confidence will grow and you’ll begin to believe in yourself no matter what anyone else says or what life throws at you!
My professional life to date has been uniquely varied and it is precisely because of my varied expertise and experiences that I am able to empathically understand my clients. I’ve worked in publishing, done book-keeping and trained as an interior designer for luxury properties.
Eventually, with my varied experience, expertise, and passion to support people to live to their highest potential, I decided to take the plunge to retrain and practice as a Spiritual Response Consultant (clearing the Akashic Records) and Personal Life Coach.
Personally, I guess you could say I’ve experienced what most people experience; the highs and lows of relationships, the importance of a work-life balance, the importance of facing my smallest and biggest fears, career and life-direction changes, the roller coaster ride of parenting, the void of empty nest syndrome, the joys of being a grandmother and ultimately valuing myself enough choose to live my life in technicolor!
Raising OUR GIFTED CHILDREN with Sara Troy and her guests Dewattie Basdeo and Sally Saint, on air from October 9th.
Sara says, ” Smile and the WHOLE world smiles with you, Laughter is the best medicine, but if you cry, you cry alone” A smile begets a smile as does a laugh, but why do tears make us alone when those tears are a cry for help? We must be there for those with tears, and through love and joy, show them how to laugh at life and smile for that is so beautifully contagious.
JOIN SARA, DAWATTIE AND SALLY HERE FOR IN DEPTH LOOK AT OUR CHILDREN’S NEEDS.
In the US a teen takes their own life every 100 minutes.
In the UK suicide is the biggest killer of young people. With over 200 school children lost to suicide every year.
Experts say Teens feel more hopeless and helpless than previous years. Why might this be?
We need to provide more coping skills on surviving in chaotic times.
How do we nurture self love,respect for life, grow hope not despair? and most of all learn how to laugh at life, ourselves and with each other for that is the healing method.
I founded Holistic World with the vision of opening Holistic World centers globally. The mission of the centers being that to provide a modern day sanctuary on the high street for the mind body and soul. Stemming from my wish to provide inspiration and good well-being for my children and children all over the world I had the idea to write a series of children’s yoga books which children could read and enjoy individually or as an adult. The aim of the Magnificent Me, Magnificent You series is to highlight to children the many wonderful qualities they have within and also the amazing beauty and power of the natural world.
Each book in the series has an adventure based around a Natural Wonder of the world along with lots of fun activities to inspire mind, body, and soul. My inspiration and ideas for the books have been drawn from my own personal life experiences such as running up Table Mountain, swimming with turtles in the sea, doing fire walks, giving birth to my children plus lots more.
UK Therapist and the founder of Conscious Parenting Sally Saint.
Sally says.” Going with inner child, informing how children support us in accessing this magical energy and inviting us to do inner child work, yes to heal but also to have fun.
Children smile on average 400 times a day, adults 30’to 40. What happened in between, disconnection from inner joy/inner child by hurts, experiences,pain.
Reconnect with inner child and get the smiles back.”
“Do not close your eyes and ears if you are not a parent, for the deepest parenting journey is of self.” (Sally Saint) Sally Saint is a UK-based therapist, energy healer, artist, and the founder of Conscious Parenting, serving as a support worker for families whose children have learning difficulties and behavioural challenges. Sally’s life has taken her down many paths and has seen her walk through challenging terrain, but it was the creation and birth of her son Edward, that gave her the key to unlocking the door of transformation in a deep and profound way. The qualification, the spiritual work, the books she read, all slotted into place when her journey of motherhood began to unfold. Now, with her passion and expertise, she connects with others across the planet, to offer the wisdom she has unlocked on her own epic journey. Sally has over 16 years of experience in working with energy to facilitate healing for clients around the world, being a trained Reiki practitioner, reflexologist, and massage therapist, having a natural ability to read the energy of another (in person or via distance), then to actively work with the person’s energy to release any blockages and facilitate expansion.

A generation which is reading, thinking and loving human beings, opening up and sharing their knowledge in the service of humanity with the understanding that every human being, whoever the person, should be respected simply for being part of God.
He condemns gender based violence such as domestic violence, corrective rape, homophobia, child abuse, murder, violence stemming from HIV and AIDS, poverty, disease, corruption, war, discrimination of marginalized people and all forms of exploitation teaching.
