Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Bobby Henline airs from January 3rd/17
As a 4-tour Iraqi War Veteran, Wounded Warrior, Comedian, and Motivational presenter, Bobby Henline’s story and lived experiences have been featured in numerous media, including the documentaries “Comedy Warriors: Healing Through Humor”, “Healing Bobby”, and “Weight of Honor”; on CNN, PBS KET, NPR, Today.com, and Time.com; Time Magazine, People Magazine, The Huffington Post, Guideposts, and The Nipawin Journal; as well as television, radio, and podcasts around the world. Henline is a retired Army Staff Sergeant, last serving with the 82nd Airborne Division. He spent 13 years in the Army, completing four tours in Iraq. While on his fourth tour in Iraq, three weeks after his arrival, an IED blast blew up his Humvee – April 7, 2007 is a day he will never forget. The four soldiers with him were killed, as he stumbled out of the wreck, a human torch. Extinguished by the soldier he had replaced in the Humvee, burns covered almost 40% of his body, bones in his face were fractured, and his head was burned to the skull. Put into a medically induced coma for two weeks, Henline was flown back to the states.
During his initial six-month hospital stay, Bobby remained upbeat, positive, and relied on humor to get him through each day. Putting nurses in headlocks, trying to keep other wounded soldiers’ spirits up by telling them jokes, and singing a ditty over and over garnered the attention of his occupational therapist. She challenged him to go to an open mic night and try his hand at comedy. Comedy helps Bobby keep his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Anxiety at bay, and allows him to share his story and healing with others in a positive way. Today, Henline continues his quest to make people laugh in a variety of venues. The open mic night provided him an opportunity to perform professionally as the “Well Done Comedian” at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club (Las Vegas, NV), Laugh Factory (Chicago, IL), and Hollywood Improv (Los Angeles, CA) to name a few. As a Motivational Speaker/Comedian/Emcee, he collaborates with and performs for various military and military-related organizations to inspire soldiers, veterans, and their families, spreading his message of life, love, and joy; he visits middle and high schools across the country to inspire young people; and speaks at mental health and other healthcare organizations, sharing his story of resiliency, hope, and healing.

David Kessler is the #1 grief expert who has spent decades working with those whose loved ones left them broken hearted or they’ve died. He has put together the strategies below as well as a video’s to help those dealing with a loss.
For many people, holidays are the hardest part of grieving. When you have lost someone special, your world loses its celebratory qualities.
As a recovering “people-pleaser,” John had several addictions that he had to come face-to-face with: an addiction to attention, overthinking, validation, stress and drama, women, and to the past. After he had returned from Toronto, John had to face his deepest perceived fears head-on. He also needed to learn how to put himself first, to fill his cup of love before anyone else’s. And he had to begin to fulfil his soul’s purpose, which was to allow himself to fully express his emotions, feel his feelings, and be entirely vulnerable and transparent to all. The Universe gave him the opportunity to do that later that summer, to release everything that no longer served his highest and greatest good. He was spiritually stripped naked for a second time.
John is grateful to serve humanity as a spiritual guide and intuitive healer, using his intuition, life experience, and energy to offer guidance and healing energies to those in need, to hold the sacred space as a vessel of facilitating the healing process, to provide inspiration and motivation for those wishing to move forward in their life’s purpose, to help those who are facing the illusion of challenges, difficulties, and obstacles, and to pass along the knowledge that he has been humbled to learn on his own path of healing, the root of which is self-love and forgiveness, of oneself and others. It is his goal to have you feel, in every cell of your being, the stroke of divine perfection and unconditional love that you are.
“Rev. Dr. Swan Montague is one of the clearest speakers I have ever heard on spiritual consciousness and issues. She conveys high metaphysical principles in a meaningful and relevant way that make sense, inspire, illuminate and are pertinent”
