Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Dr. Colette D. Sinclair, on air from June 23rd
Dr. Colette D. Sinclair introduces a pioneering and scientifically grounded approach to emotional and spiritual well-being, revealing how our emotional states can rewire the nervous system, restore physiological balance, and accelerate conscious awareness. Backed by clinical research and biofeedback data, her work shows that 87 percent of participants experienced positive increases in consciousness, while 67 percent improved their overall physiological coherence after brief emotional training. Rather than viewing emotions as reactions to suppress or manage, Dr. Sinclair explains that they are powerful electrochemical and electromagnetic forces that influence every cell in the body. Through six intentional emotional postures—gratitude, acceptance, ease, forgiveness, compassion, and love—individuals can retrain the nervous system, regulate emotional responses, access greater coherence, and awaken higher states of awareness. Her work bridges neuroscience, integrative wellness, and applied consciousness, opening a new frontier in understanding how emotional, energetic, and spiritual health can create measurable and lasting transformation.
Dr. Colette D. Sinclair has practiced for twenty years at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative science. She is the creator of Emotional Posture®, a pioneering methodology for cultivating elevated emotional states that restore nervous system balance, expand consciousness, and build sustainable inner alignment. She is the founder of Integrated Mental Wellness, a collaborative collective offering natural alternatives for mental and physical wellness.
What if everything you’ve been told about emotions is backwards? They’re not obstacles to overcome or manage, they’re biological organizing fields with measurable electromagnetic signatures. When you cultivate six specific high-coherence emotional states, you don’t just feel better. You measurably change your cellular biology, rewire your nervous system, and shift the electromagnetic field that shapes your reality. This is not metaphor. It’s neuroscience.

For 13 years, Self Discovery Wisdom has been far more than a podcast network; it has been a living journey of wisdom, humanity, healing, and heart-centered connection. What began as one inspired voice and one meaningful conversation has evolved into thousands of interviews, multiple genres, and a global platform where people from all walks of life have shared their truths, their struggles, their purpose, and their illumination. Through every episode, the intention has always remained the same: to give wisdom a voice and create conversations that truly matter.
Over these 13 years, the world has changed dramatically, and so have we. Technology has evolved, consciousness has shifted, and people are searching more deeply for authenticity, compassion, and meaning rather than performance and noise. Through it all, Self Discovery Wisdom has continued to stand as a place where lived experience matters, where people are heard, and where stories become pathways for others seeking hope, direction, and understanding in their own lives.
This journey has not always been easy. Building a soul-led platform comes with sacrifice, perseverance, health challenges, financial strain, and moments of exhaustion. Yet the mission always mattered more. Every guest, every listener, every shared story created a ripple effect that often could not be seen but could certainly be felt. The greatest lesson through it all is that wisdom is not found in perfection; it is found in experience, resilience, compassion, and the courage to keep showing up authentically.
Now, 13 years later, this celebration is not simply about longevity. It is about honoring the countless voices that have inspired change, the listeners who found comfort and clarity, and the continuing commitment to conscious conversations that uplift humanity. The future of Self Discovery Wisdom is not just about media; it is about community, illumination, and creating spaces where people can reconnect with who they truly are and the wisdom already within them.
Here is to many more years, and thank you to our listeners, our Guests, our sponsors, and our donators, without you this would be meaningless.

I am an Economy Creator at heart, meaning that I have never fully embraced the traditional ways of earning money and having a “job.” Instead, I have followed my interests and desires and have found ways to earn money doing those things. For instance, my first job was as a gymnastics coach at 16 because I loved the sport, and I wanted to teach it to others. This was a focus for me for many years. When I wanted to combine my love of writing with the sport, I started my publishing company (IrisBlu Publishing) by writing and publishing a series of gymnastics books (called Gym Rats).
When my daughter was born, that evolved into opening a gymnastics center with my husband. As I coached and ran the programs, I felt the pull to do something even more. I was doing more than teaching gymnastics; I was teaching important life skills. But beyond that, I was teaching these kids how to believe in themselves. Because I wanted to be better so I could better serve them, I continuously looked to self-development resources to strengthen my coaching. I came across Bob Proctor, and in studying with him and his work, I realized that I had found the missing link: I found that although gymnastics was my path to get to this point, it wasn’t my destination. So in 2021, rather than rebuilding the gym after the pandemic, my husband and I decided to close it down and to go all-in as a personal and professional development consultant. Along with my new podcast and radio show, Economy Creators, I maintain my publishing company, and I use it as a way to further help my clients by publishing my own books, but also by publishing theirs, as well as spotlighting them and other economy creators on my show. I want to keep going to see where this journey takes me; I’m always listening to my intuition to guide me, following my desires.
The person behind the business is just as important as the person in the business. I believe in creating a YOU-shaped economy, one with each human being at its center. So a part of my economy, besides my businesses is that I’m a wife (husband, Marc) and mother of one daughter (Lola). I have adored horses since I was a child before I manifested my first pony, and now we own two horses now and spend every morning with them at the barn. We all eat a plant-based diet and have been for 12 years now.

Simpol is a global citizens’ initiative that develops the necessary policies to solve global problems and its supporters use their votes to drive governments to act together to implement them.
The main barrier to solving global problems is that no government can move first or act alone because doing so would make its national economy uncompetitive, risking unemployment, capital flight, and economic decline. As former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “The reality of the politics of climate change is that no country will be willing to sacrifice its economy in order to address this challenge.” [1] This remains true for all global problems. In a globalized economy, it will always be so. Governments are therefore caught in a “Prisoner’s Dilemma”. It’s not that they don’t want to solve global problems, but that they can’t. That, indeed, is why the wider global justice movement has achieved little: because it demands change from those – i.e., governments – who are incapable of delivering it.
That’s why Simpol’s condition of simultaneous implementation is vital: it breaks this vicious cycle, eliminates the risk of uncompetitiveness, and resolves the dilemma. If sufficient nations act together simultaneously, no nation loses out – everyone wins.
Simpol operates in two stages:
A. Politicians and governments are invited to support Simpol only in principle by signing a Pledge to implement its policies simultaneously, subject to all or sufficient nations participating, and subject to the policies eventually being agreed.
B. Once sufficient nations have signed, an international negotiation to define and agree detailed policies can proceed, followed by implementation.
Simpol also incorporates these key features:
1. Multi-issue policy packages
Simpol would consist of a series of multi-issue policy packages so that what a nation loses on one issue, it can gain on another. The losers on a climate agreement, for example, could be compensated by revenues from a currency transactions tax, so potentially making immediate action in every nation’s self-interest. And if the agreement is in everyone’s interests, so will be the inclusion of verification and enforcement measures. Simpol does NOT necessarily mean all nations implementing precisely the same measures. Rather, policies could be tailored to suit the needs and abilities of each nation. National sovereignty remains protected, because only policies requiring simultaneous implementation are included.
2. Citizens and NGOs develop the policies AND citizens use their votes to drive governments to implement them
By joining the campaign, citizens declare that they will “give strong voting preference at national elections to politicians or parties that have signed the Pledge”. As the voting bloc of Simpol supporters grows, politicians who sign increase their chances of gaining those votes. Those who don’t, risk losing those votes, and potentially their seats, to politicians who signed instead. In that way, Simpol doesn’t need a majority of voters to succeed – only the critical balance between the two main competing parties. This is the unique tool that Simpol uses and it’s vital because, as NGOs should by now realise, politicians can easily ignore petitions and protests, but they cannot ignore votes.
This political power also gives Simpol’s supporters strong influence over its policy content. To remain electorally attractive to our supporters, politicians and parties will have little choice but to adopt the global policies our supporters prefer. Global justice NGOs can also play their part by providing expert policy input to Simpol and by encouraging their supporters to join the campaign.
Should Simpol gain the support of democratic governments, non-democratic nations would be invited to participate. They need solutions to global problems too. If global support becomes sufficient and a global negotiation is successful, the first Simultaneous Policy can be implemented. Subsequent Simultaneous Policies can then follow. For details on the campaign, its policy development and implementation, please see https://simpol.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Policies/Simpol_-_Information_Pack.pdf
Progress so far
Simpol is active in a number of countries especially during elections. The campaign is most developed in the UK where over 100 Members of Parliament have signed the Pledge. They come from all the main UK political parties. A considerable number of MPs have also signed in Germany, Ireland, the EU, and some other countries. A list of all current pledged MPs is at https://simpol.org/who-we-are/pledged-politicians
Many politicians sign because of the strong electoral pressure Simpol exerts. In highly contested electoral districts, this often creates a ‘domino effect’: once one candidate signs, competitors are forced to follow so that, whoever wins the seat, Simpol is sure to gain another pledged MP. Others sign simply because they see Simpol as common sense. As one politician commented, “Global problems require global solutions and Simpol could well help us get to those solutions. The way in which the process neatly side-steps the issue of countries fearing to act unilaterally is quite excellent. I have signed the pledge and thank you for inviting me to do so.” [2]
Building movement coherence
Simpol is designed as a tool to network the wider movement for solving global problems. To achieve this, we suggest that each initiative in the wider movement make a list of all its policy demands. Then it should subject each demand to the following test:
Would the unilateral implementation of the demand by a single government, or by a restricted group of governments (eg. the EU), be likely to cause it a significant competitive disadvantage?
If the answer is NO, then unilateral implementation is viable and the NGO can pursue that demand in the usual way. If the answer is YES, then that demand requires simultaneous implementation and should be pursued in cooperation with Simpol. By differentiating demands in this way, we would immediately create movement coherence because NGOs would then be using the right campaigning tool for the right job.
Fully understanding Simpol’s potential requires a deeper change in our thinking – a move from nation-centric to world-centric thinking. Co-written with psychotherapist Nick Duffell, the psychological steps required to make that change are set out in our book The Simpol Solution https://simpol.org/who-we-are/simpol-the-book . As Noam Chomsky commented, “It’s ambitious and provocative. Can it work? Certainly worth a serious try.”
