RGC23-32.Mikki Gaffen Stone & Science of Behavior Change.


Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Michaela Gaffen Stone (Mikki), on air from August 8th

I have been a child advocate since I was a child myself, living in uncertain and frequently unsafe circumstances. I learned early on to gauge people’s moods and anticipate their behaviors in order to know when to hide and when to run to keep myself safe. As I grew older, my sense of justice and a need to protect others became quite fierce. Then I had children. We traveled the world encountering different cultures, learning the norms, rules and restrictions placed on the child and dictating the role of the parent. I intentionally parented my own children differently from my peers and have since made it my mission to help other parents learn ways to do better with their children than they received from their own parents. This is not about blaming anyone for what they cannot help, it’s about cycle breaking.

Born in England, I am a lifelong learner and nomad. Having lived in eight countries to date, I consider myself to be a Global citizen – where I come from is a story, not a place. Home is wherever I am, right now.
I took my expertise in tropical diseases nursing from London, UK, to Bangladesh to volunteer in an orphanage, later singlehandedly running a High Commission’s medical clinic and caring for upwards of 300 people.
I became a Montessori assistant teacher in Belgium so I could work in the same system my kids were in.
I studied Buddhism and mindfulness with monks in Singapore. My quest for more took me from Bhutan, India, Ladakh, and Sikkim, to Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
I took my love for learning to college in the USA, becoming a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. The science of behavior change ignited in me a deeper understanding of human potential. Diving into Doctoral studies fueled my desire to share my extensive knowledge of human behavior with people open to receiving all that I have to offer.
Throughout my travels, raising my two sons to be responsible global citizens was a priority and sharing what I learn though experience and study is what I am here for.

23-32. My gifts to give.


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 8th

This is an excerpt from my upcoming book “My Self Discovery” coming out soon.
“I see possibilities in people and situations, and this ability is more than just a superficial observation. It’s a profound understanding of the potential that lies within each individual and circumstance. By recognizing this potential, I can guide others to see what is possible for themselves, even if they might not see it at first. Reflecting back what I see is a powerful tool in this process. It’s not about telling people what they should do or be, but rather showing them what they could achieve. This reflection can be a mirror to their own abilities, wisdom, skills, and passions.

It’s about creating a safe space where they feel comfortable enough to open up and share these inner treasures. When the heart is open, it’s like a door to the soul, allowing the spirit to be ignited. This isn’t just a poetic metaphor; it’s a real, tangible experience that can lead to profound personal growth and transformation. An open heart allows wisdom to flow freely, not just from the mind but from a deeper, more intuitive place. This wisdom isn’t confined to serving the individual; it extends to serving others who need guidance, support, or inspiration. In essence, this approach is about more than just seeing potential; it’s about nurturing it, encouraging it, and allowing it to flourish. It’s about connecting with others on a deep level and helping them to realize their own greatness.

“The knowingness of our very being is a place of trust, wisdom, and peace, for there is no other intellect other than divine that can reside there, and it is there you find that peace, and meaningful purpose we all seek. Peace does not mean standing still and abstaining from the world, but a knowingness of knowing what, how, and for whom you are our doing.it for”

It’s a journey of discovery, growth, and ultimately, empowerment for both myself and those I interact with.”

YH23-32 .Dr. Paula Gordon and Dense Breasts.


Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Paula Gordon, on air from August 8th

Dr. Paula Gordon is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of British Columbia. She is a passionate clinician, researcher and educator. In the 1980’s her research on ultrasound-guided breast biopsies enabled accurate diagnosis of breast masses, and allowed women to forego surgery for non-cancerous abnormalities. Her research in 1995 was the first to show that ultrasound could find cancers missed on mammograms. This has led to a paradigm change in the management of screening women with dense breasts that began in the USA in 2009, but is now spreading to Canada, the UK, Asia, Australia and Europe.

Dr. Gordon is widely appreciated for her mentoring of medical students, radiology residents and fellows in breast imaging, as well as teaching her individual patients and the public. She is a popular instructor at “Hands-on workshops” at the Radiologic Society of North America where doctors learn how to perform needle biopsies and other procedures with ultrasound guidance, and has done so every year since they were first introduced in 1993.She is a sought-after speaker, and has given hundreds of invited lectures locally, nationally and internationally, as well as participating on and chairing scientific panels throughout North America.
She volunteers as Medical Advisor to DenseBreastsCanada.ca and DenseBreast-Info.org, and as Vice President of the Board of the Canucks for Kids Fund. In 2014, the Canadian Women’s Executive Network named her one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada, in the Trailblazers and Trendsetters category. She has received numerous prizes for teaching and research, Queen Elizabeth Diamond and Platinum Jubilee Medals, and the Specialist of the Year Award from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, among other awards. She was invested in the Order of British Columbia in 2013, and was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2022.

GV23-32. Peter Michael Johnson, author of WHITE CLOUD FREE.


Our Global Veterans Stories with Sara Troy and her guest Peter Michael Johnson, on air from August 8th

Set mostly in Latin America, it’s a semi-autobiographical tale of an idealistic, naïve Peace Corps volunteer who suffers a series of traumas abroad, leading to unlikely friendships. At 23, Peter has enlisted in the Peace Corps and finds himself teaching beekeeping in a tiny village in Paraguay. When a lynch mob kills several people in his local village after a disagreement over harvest proceeds, Peter flees with his 12-year-old homeless friend in search of safety—taking him through an indigenous community, a Mennonite colony, a squatters camp, and finally the lawless, chaotic city of Ciudad del Este, where he meets a kind transgender sex worker.

Nearly two decades later, a midlife crisis compels the protagonist to return to Paraguay and find the friend who had helped to save his life so many years before. Through this journey, Peter discovers some hard truths about himself, his faith, and the fluidity of memory.

Peter discusses:

  • Lessons learned in the Peace Corps
  • How living abroad can foster spiritual growth
  • When helping hurts: How good intentions in charity and international development can hurt the people we set out to help
  • How his experiences in Africa and Latin America helped mature his understanding of love
  • Interesting facts about the small, seldom-visited country of Paraguay

Peter Michael Johnson grew up in Colorado, Wisconsin, and Alabama. He studied English and philosophy at New York University before serving in the Peace Corps in Paraguay, where he taught beekeeping to rural subsistence farmers. After the Peace Corps, Peter moved to Senegal to compete on the amateur beach wrestling circuit. He has worked for a variety of nonprofit organizations for most of his adult life. His writing (all focused on his experience in Paraguay) has appeared in literary journals including Dappled ThingsSeven Hills Review, and Rock & Sling and in a feature-length essay in the April 2017 issue of Christianity Today. He makes his home in Southwest Florida with his wife, Ashley, and three children.

YH23-30. Adam Stanecki. The Breath Geek.


Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Adam Stanecki, on air from July 11th

I believe that the breath is the foundation of all health and wellness. It is the most fundamental aspect of our being. And yet it is often overlooked. I am on a mission to remind people that they can positively impact their health, wellness, and performance through breath practice. Breathe practice has been a part of the human experience for thousands of years and it is time to reconnect and harness the power of the breath.
