By Sharon L. Brecher with Illustrations by Brett C. Nance and Sharon L. Brecher


Sharon L. Brecher is a mom-blogger, writer, illustrator, wife, and Miserable Mom. Her first book, Miserable Mom: The Do’s and Don’ts of Sending Your Kid to College, calls out the absurdities of this stage of motherhood with a wry sense of humor and a self-deprecating wink to her own place in the emotional merry-go-round. Sharon is a born and bred New Yorker, living in Southern California. She has raised two young adults (one in college and one recently out) and has an MA in Education. Sharon was the Educational Director of Futurekids and spent several years working as a consultant for companies like Disney Interactive and Disney Online, where she created educational content for kids and guides for parents. Upon an emotional return from dropping her oldest off at college for the first time, Sharon needed to process some unfamiliar and vulnerable feelings. With one kid out and one to go, mid-life was upon her. This new phase would require the honesty and humor she always internalized, to process life’s challenges. But this time Sharon needed to share with other moms out loud. So, she sat down at her computer and Miserable Moms was born.

YH22-14 Dr John Poothullill and the Story of Cancer.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast
Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Dr John Poothullil, on air from April 5th

What is Cancer and why do we get it? Is it always laying in wait inside of us? is it stoppable and is it curable? Dr. John shares in detail what cancer is and how we can stop it and prevent it.

Think of cancer as an iceberg in the ocean and you are a boat approaching it. You can’t know the true size of the iceberg by looking at the top of it. Similarly, one can’t know how long a cancer has been in existence when it is detected. But you can learn to navigate around a solitary iceberg… and you can also learn to navigate around a solitary cancer. 

Based on more than 20 years of research in the medical literature, Dr. Poothullil offers extensive information and explanations on what cancer is, how it starts, and how cancer cells multiply. Most importantly, you will learn what you can do to prevent a solitary cancer from metastasizing and spreading in your body. As you will learn, there is a strong connection between cancer cell multiplication and grains. This means that altering your diet to avoid grains could help you stay alive by starving cancer cells of their fuel.

John Poothullill practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. He received his medical degree from the University of Kerala, India in 1968, after which he did two years of medical residency in Washington, DC and Phoenix, AZ, and two years of fellowship, one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the other in Ontario, Canada. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics.

During his medical practice, John became interested in understanding the causes of and interconnections between hunger, satiation, and weight gain. His interest turned into a passion and a multi-decade personal study and research project that led him to read many medical journal articles, medical textbooks, and other scholarly works in biology, biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and cellular metabolic functions. This eventually guided Dr. Poothullil to investigate the theory of insulin resistance as it relates to diabetes. Recognizing that this theory was illogical, he spent a few years rethinking the biology behind high blood sugar and finally developed the fatty acid burn switch as the real cause of diabetes. Recently his own cancer diagnosis lead him to research cancer and childhood cancer. 

This book is for anyone who has cancer localized to a single site and not yet colonized in another part of the body. It is also for anyone who believes they are at risk of cancer due to heredity, lifestyle, working conditions, or for any other reason. Surviving Cancer is especially important for people with Type 2 diabetes, with or without cancer, to learn about the link between the two.

C22-14 Golden Madume’s Journey to Internal Peace.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Golden Madume, on air from April 5th

A journey to internal peace. For the longest time, I did not know who I was or what my strengths were. I lived a life of performance to please my parents, my bosses, and friends. During college, I learned what my strengths were and that brought so much alignment and set me on my life path. It is now my greatest joy to hold a mirror to people to really see themselves and find that inner peace so they can take up space in the world and achieve their passion or calling.

C22-13 Ebba Karlsson, from Sexual assault to True Starlight:

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Edda Karlsson, on-air from March 29th

Former model and sexual assault victim, Ebba Karlsson, author of True Ebba Karlsson, from Sexual assault to True Starlight Starlight: From Living in the Shadows to Being Stellar.

Ebba claims she was sexually assaulted at age 20 while on a job interview in 1990 with Gerald Marie, the president (at the time) of internationally-renowned Elite Modeling Agency, which also represented supermodels Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss. She also alleges she was raped by a fashion model scout who introduced her to Marie. Despite other models claiming similar allegations against Marie, including actress and cover-girl model Carre Otis, criminal charges have never been brought against him. Recently, his ex-wife, former supermodel Linda Evangelista, has publicly sided with them.

“If you have ever been abused, you know how awful, and shameful one can feel,” Ebba says. “Looking back, I still feel disgusted about the whole thing and sad that I didn’t have more guts to stand up for myself and run away. It is never okay for anybody to go beyond a person’s boundaries.”

Ebba is now fighting back and raising awareness about the sexual misconduct practiced all too often in the fashion and modeling industries. She wants to weed out serial predators who abuse their power.

“No longer should a woman’s modeling career be dependent on whether she remains silent while being sexually violated,” says Ebba. “We also need to stop the vicious cycle of grooming and human trafficking.”

She was threatened into silence, on top of feeling ashamed. “We saw in the Harvey Weinstein trial that it took many voices of courageous women to hold him accountable for his crimes,” says Ebba. “In the Jeffrey Epstein case, women who were only children at the time of their grooming also came forward in solidarity to create great change. The time is overdue that we address these same crimes within an industry that has yet to be held accountable.”

Her moving book, True Starlight: From Living in the Shadows to Being Stellar (Morgan James Publishers, Trade Paperback, is the inspirational and spiritually moving memoir of the model-turned-life coach. Her powerful message is punctuated by her guidance and insight on what it takes for each of us to create our own reality and become a “true star.”

“This book is my life story, but it could be any woman’s story,” says Ebba. “You can see this as a journey through time., through your body, soul, and mind. It is meant to take you through your own life, reflecting on your journey and experiences so that you can be inspired to find your purpose and answers within.”

The Swedish-born blonde, who was raised by an alcoholic mother and a sex-addicted, philandering father, overcame the challenges of an abusive and dysfunctional household, attempted suicide, teen pregnancy, and sexual assault – all by the age of 20. Her recently published book reveals a true, gripping story that shows how she found her purpose and mission in life. It also details allegations of sexual misconduct by a major player in the modeling industry.

“I have always been a seeker – a seeker of the truth of happiness, pleasure, and lots of other things,” writes Ebba. “It took me many years to realize what I know today, and it has been a long journey to discover who I really am, and I’m still discovering it.”

“True Starlight is a much-needed contribution to the global conversation that is well underway. Ebba is a survivor, sister, supporter, and champion for those who are trying to find their true voice, reclaim their dignity, and find peace with post-trauma.” — American Model, Actress & Author Carre Otis

Ebba P. Karlsson is a life coach, author, and champion ballroom dancer. She is also a model and sexual assault victim who co-founded a new organization dedicated to cleaning up the modeling industry amidst the #MeToo era —

She is also the founder of True Star, a life coaching practice, helping individuals perform at a high level, live a more fulfilling life, and overcome their past to embrace the future. After leaving behind a promising modeling career, she became, at age 23, one of the managers of the franchise company, The Body Shop. Since 1996, she has been running her own business involving health, meditation, holistic therapies, personal self-development techniques, and leadership practices.

Karlsson launched Victorious Angels in October 2020 with several models, including the internationally renowned cover-girl model Carre Otis. It is a global collective of sexual abuse survivors from the modeling industry.

She is a former model who was raped at age 20 by a modeling scout and then was sexually assaulted during a job interview with the president of Elite Model Management, Gerald Marie. She quit the industry as a result, back in 1990. Now she is helping others to confront the sexual assault problem running rampant in the modeling industry.

She is a Certified Law of Attraction Coach and Creating Money Coach, both by the Quantum Success Academy, and a member of The International Coach Federation. She is also experienced in massage therapy, biofeedback, Feng Shui, risk therapy and is a national champion ballroom dancer. 

Here is a recent article about the suicide of Jean-Luc Brunel, who allegedly trafficked more than 1,000 women for Jeffrey Epstein and whose agency supplied models for Victoria’s Secret runway shows:
