C21-36 Isabel Chiara, author of EAT YOUR WORDS

September 6, 2021September 4, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Isabel Chiara, on air from September 7th

Isabel has supported hundreds of clients to actualize their life’s greatest potential, to reconsider obstacles as opportunities and how to meet challenging moments with heart. She has dedicated decades to personal growth and development but kept her own lifelong struggle with food well hidden from her work. Nearing her 60th birthday, she knew she had to break her own silence about her struggles.
From this place, she wrote EAT YOUR WORDS and created Giana Giovanni; loosely based on aspects of her own story, but presented in a relatable way so that, true to Isabel’s nature, her own healing journey could be offered to others.

How to begin to approach feeling the physical body in a world that seems to promote disassociation with the body. How women can powerfully reframe what “getting there” actually means and why we can come together to transform what success looks like physically. How each person is equipped with a unique sense of “gut instinct” that is as varied as the trillions of bacteria in our digestive system. How to hone in on your “gut instinct.”

Isabel Chiara, created Giana Giovanni, a character whose story is told in the style of a first-person historic memoir. Giana’s recount takes us from the farm fields of Italy circa World War II to the era of Grease Lightening in the late 1970’s, up to the current day. In humorous, easy-to-read language, Eat Your Words gives us a peak at the generational path of overeaters beginning from a home-grown food heritage to the fast-food, drive-thru window of the super-sized large fry and extra-thick chocolate shake.
With the wisdom of the feminine, Isabel supports Giana’s inner-exploration and aha moments, not pushing her to find a solution to her dysfunctional relationship with food, but encouraging her, through self-love, to live her way back into her body that feels, at last, like home. In this tale, our protagonist’s main “squeeze” and heroic rescuer isn’t the hot boy next door but rather the overly-handled bag of chips she grapples with until finally exchanging it for the act of self-embrace.

LM21-36 Swapna Abraham BREAKING MUSIC RECORDS

September 6, 2021June 30, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

“for the LOVE of Music” with Sara Troy and her guest Swapna Abraham, on air from August 31st

My Why

To share my story of realizing my calling after having reached what I imagined was a dead end. There are people out there who are probably at that dead end and cannot see the light of day. If mine could help them see and navigate, I’d have achieved far more than I did through my 1000-day challenge that set four world records in singing-songwriting and everything until then.

Swapna Abraham is a singer-songwriter from Kerala, India, who recorded hundreds of songs in a career spanning twenty-five years until she embarked on a world record challenge in 2017, composing, producing and publishing 2321 songs, setting four world records based in Dubai. This challenge was self-imposed just after her decision to give up music for good. Primarily a gospel artiste, her style of music stretches across the entire gamut from pop and country to folk and soul. She has to her credit twenty-one albums (nineteen gospel and two secular) in English.

In 2010, she received a NeedStar citation ‘Role Model for her progress & success in the field of Mainstream Career, Art & Entrepreneurship’ in Chennai, India; in 2012 she was awarded the Maestro Award – LAMP-ICONGO Karmaveer Chakra for her contribution to gospel music in Delhi, India; and in 2019, the Aspire World Award for Passion for Excellence at the 31st Global Women’s Empowerment Summit in Dubai, UAE.

An alumnus of the T. A. Pai Management Institute and the Indian Institute of Management, Kolkata, Swapna is known in her professional network as the former Administration Manager of Arthur D. Little, a global management consulting firm.

Wearing many hats, this mother of two and grandmother of three is a mentor, entrepreneur and interior designer from the New York Institute of Art and Design. Additionally, she played the lead in the musical ‘Mamma Mia’ and acted in a pivotal role in the Tamil feature film, ‘Nadunissi Naaygal’.

Swapna embarked on her maiden voyage as an author in 2021, sharing her learnings through the thousand-day challenge, interspersed with relevant glimpses from her life.

21-34 Letting Optimism Drive

August 30, 2021August 30, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 31st

Letting Optimism Drive, keeping the possibilities alive, and choosing to see things from higher vibrations will always show us the way forward. It is so easy to see everything wrong, but if we change our lenses we can see what is right also. Choosing to be optimistic allows for those positive vibrations to rise up.

From there we see the possibilities and know from our heart and soul what we need to do to make it happen. We can not see clearly in judgment, righteousness, in pain, in fear, or anger, they consume our reasoning. To really have the clarity you have to raise up those vibes and allow that clarity to come from a higher place. Only then can we really see that being optimistic is positive and invites that clear vision of knowingness to come through.

Being optimistic is not being a daydreamer, or having your head in the clouds, it is about choosing to see from a different angle and being open to all possibilities without persecution of judgments. If we seed those optimistic possibilities each and every day, we will bear the fruits of that labor.

So let us embrace this wonderful word, let us see each other from different lenses, let us be open to other points of view, and let us not condemn our friends because they see things differently. Be open be present, be engaged, be heartful, and allow optimism to show you the way to clarity and exuberant possibilities.

21-34 Dealing with New Challenges

August 23, 2021August 22, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on-air from August 24th

Yes, once again I am facing a challenge I thought was over. When it first happened I was shocked, then sad, then depressed, then filled with despair. Then I got mad, angry, and wanting to fight back, but we can not fight in anger, we need to strategize and focus on the battle ahead with a clear mind.

We get more done when fighting an unjust battle, with logic, accountability, and clarity of the problem. To present it, we must articulate the issues in a concise way that requires them to defend their actions and accept accountability.

It does not matter what you are facing right now, you must allow yourself to go through the emotions to get to that place where you can address the wrong in that articulate way. Doing it while in pain, sorrow or anger will only backfire on you, so feel it go through it, write down what the problem is, be logical on your approach to the issues, and present it in a way that invites the party to address it in a way of healing.

May whatever battle you are going through, may you find your strength, your courage, your rational side, and your power to bring accountability to the situation, and put things right.
