C25-28. BarbaraAnne, #BeBoldBeBrave

? The Power of Being Seen ?
Too often, the world forgets the brilliance that lives in women over 40. We’ve been the caregivers, the builders, the soul-bearers, and the quiet warriors. We’ve overcome, transformed, and risen, sometimes in silence, often without applause. But no more.

This is the time to Be Bold, Be Brave.

My latest campaign is a tribute to the women who have lived, lost, learned, and led, with grace, with grit, and with unapologetic strength. It is a celebration of the women who dared to rewrite their stories after 40, who’ve walked through fire and emerged not burned but forged.

The Power of Being Seen is not about vanity. It’s about visibility.
It’s about acknowledging our journeys, honouring our bodies, valuing our wisdom, and reclaiming our place in the spotlight, not for approval, but for truth.
Because when women over 40 are truly seen, the world shifts. Generations are inspired. Real change begins.

This movement is not just for the bold-hearted, it’s for those ready to remember who they are, to share their truth, and to stand tall in their magnificence.

? Let us lift each other up.
? Let us reflect one another’s light.
? Let us be seen—in all our boldness, bravery, and beauty.

Are you one of these women? Or do you know someone who is? Join the conversation. Tag a woman who has inspired you after 40. Let her know she’s seen, she’s valued, and she’s celebrated.

Barbara Anne is a portrait artist and entrepreneur whose journey began far from the camera lens. With a background in entrepreneurship, business coaching and community leadership, she spent years helping others grow their brands and voices—while quietly hiding from the spotlight herself. After a period of deep personal reflection and a growing frustration with how women, especially in business, undervalue their self-image, Barbara transformed her photography hobby into a powerful tool to change lives and never looked back. What had begun as a creative outlet quickly became a calling: to help people reclaim their sense of worth, one portrait at a time. Today, she runs Barbara Anne Photography, where she creates empowering portrait experiences that turn self-doubt into confidence and photographs into legacy artwork.

C25-27. Deb Miller Re-Writing My Story


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Deb Miller, on air from July 8th

 I wrote Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness because I lived it, and I know I’m not alone. Too many women believe society’s script that says happiness depends on finding Prince Charming and checking all the boxes. I believed that, too, in the beginning. My journey of self-discovery began with a bold choice to rewrite the story I’d been given. From Midwest housewife to global marketing exec to professor and author, I’ve learned that happily ever after isn’t handed to you—it’s built, one brave decision at a time. 

I’m here to remind women that it’s never too late to take the reins, ditch the outdated fairy tale, and create a life rooted in their unique definition of joy. This conversation is for anyone who’s ready to rewrite their happily ever after and be their own hero.

QS25-27. Brenda Jacobson & Awakening Consciously


Quantum Spirituality with Sara Troy and her guest Brenda Jacobson, on air from July 8th

After a life-altering fall down a mountain and a five-year healing journey, I emerged with a radically expanded understanding of human potential—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Blending two decades as a senior finance executive with deep work in overall wellness, emotional management, and energy mastery, I now guide high performers to awaken their quantum potential and live from their highest frequency. My message is simple: optimal health is the foundation of peak performance in business, relationships, creativity, and life. As the old world crumbles, a new paradigm is emerging—one rooted in intuition, vitality, and energetic alignment. New technologies are now available that simplify this journey. Through Awakening Consciously, I help people break free from burnout, reclaim their health and energy, and step into a version of themselves that’s not only successful but truly alive.

I started my career in the fast-paced world of corporate finance, climbing the ladder as a senior executive and mastering the art of strategy and leadership. Everything changed after a traumatic fall down a mountain left me with years of physical and emotional healing ahead. That journey cracked me open in ways I never expected—introducing me to the deeper intelligence of the body, the power of energy, and the extraordinary potential we all hold inside. Today, I blend my business background with leading-edge technology in wellness, emotional management, and energy optimization to help others break free from burnout, reclaim their vitality, and lead from a place of wholeness.

BB25-27. Eddy Balaya & Smart Tech


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Eddy Balaya, on air from July 8th

After more than 16 years working in corporate IT, in Service or Consulting companies, and in leadership roles, I decided it was time to take everything I’d learned and use it to support the kinds of businesses that often get overlooked—small and mid-sized companies trying to make things work without reliable tech support. I’ve seen how the lack of time, budget, or technical knowledge leads many business owners to treat IT as something they deal with only when it breaks. That’s what we want to change. At Datasphere Dynamics, our goal is simple: help local businesses make smarter technology decisions, take control of their systems, and build stability step by step, without unnecessary cost or complexity.

I’ve taken more than a few leaps of faith in my life—and I’m grateful for every one of them. Born in India as a French citizen, I grew up in Pondicherry, attending a French school where my accent shaped how I’d speak every language after. In 2006, I moved to France for my studies and began working. My first IT job came right after I admitted I didn’t know how to install antivirus software. From there, I went from sales to leading global network infrastructure for a multinational company, working with telecom giants like NTT, Tata, and Orange.

While friends were settling down, I felt pulled toward something more. In 2017, I immigrated to Canada with nothing but two suitcases and no safety net—delivering food on a bike to start over. By 2019, I was back in a leadership role at a major financial firm. A year later, I lost the home I was about to buy after an unexpected layoff. That loss led me to co-found an IT company, which ultimately didn’t work out, leaving me in debt and sleeping in my Honda Civic. I regrouped, restarted, and in 2021, launched what is now Datasphere Dynamics.

I landed a long-term contract with a U.S. Tech firm, bought a house, and rebuilt—but once again, the role ended during a company reorg. This time, instead of going back, I chose to go all in on my own path, investing in coaching and mentorship to turn Datasphere into a business that truly reflects my purpose: helping business owners take control of their tech with the clarity and confidence they deserve.
