Sara’s View Of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 19th
Do you remember that wonderful song “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” by Bobby McFarlane? Oh, we need that song right now, don’t we? There’s a lot happening in the world right now, and so how do we find our happiness? How do we stop worrying? Sometimes we just have to step away from it all. Ignore it, not pretending it’s not there, but for a moment, putting a bubble around yourself and choosing to have happiness, to bring joy to others, and to be joyful in your own life. Sometimes that is exactly what we need. And it’s okay to say, “I just can’t deal with anything else today; I’m going to be happy.” What do you do to make yourself happy? Music is a wonderful thing, put on the right tunes, your body starts to move, your inner equilibrium begins to balance, and it lifts you up.

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy with guest Stephen Chong, on air from August 12th
Stephen says, “I’m looking forward to sharing deep insights and meaningful life-purpose guidance—particularly around grief, loss, and their profound connection to the heavenly realm. Our conversation will flow into revelations from The Afterlife, including what I’ve learned about the Abode of Reunion, the School for Children, and the presence of Spirit Guides. I will also open my heart about my mother’s passing and the transformative wisdom that’s emerged through the unfolding Laws of Heaven & Earth and my own life-changing experiences over the past few years.”
“Stephen Chong M.Ed. is a Far North Queensland, Australian-based author and life-coach who draws his inspirations from life’s themes that relate to us all – love, grief, struggle, and overcoming obstacles. In 2019, Stephen suffered a profound spiritual awakening experience when he fell from a ladder and fractured his neck. Culminating from this experience was the gift of writing, ‘The Afterlife, a journey to: Now you know what will happen,’ within which were discovered the fifteen Laws of Heaven & Earth.
Stephen’s expertise in balancing modern work practices with personal life, and now these unique insights of the afterlife, make this life and life in the hereafter a much better place.”

“Welcome to Sara’s View of Life. Today, we’re looking through the lens—literally and metaphorically. In a world of filters and flawless edits, what does the camera really see? Can an image still hold truth, or have we retouched it away? Join me as I reflect on vulnerability, authenticity, and the soulful power of being seen—as you truly are.”
They say the camera doesn’t lie—but in today’s world of filters, retouching, and digital tweaks, what are we really looking at? A photograph can reveal truth, or it can veil it entirely. Is it a window into the soul… or just a curated illusion?
Can we still see someone’s essence in an image? Do their eyes tell a story, or have we learned to mask even that? Is the smile genuine—or just muscle memory? Do they smile with their whole face, or just enough to pass as “happy”?
Recently, I faced my own camera moment with the wonderful Barbara Anne in Nanaimo. I’ll admit it—I was nervous. I can interview anyone, anywhere, but being in front of the lens felt like exposure on a different level. Barbara, however, made it joyful. She captured my seriousness, my playfulness, and, most importantly, my truth.
This week, we explore what the camera really sees—and whether it still has the power to reveal who we truly are.
You want your headshot—your photo—to represent you. Not just your features, but your spirit, your story, your essence. When someone sees that image, they should feel a quiet familiarity, as if they already know a piece of who you are. A great photo invites connection. It whispers, “This is me. This is what I bring.” So when people finally meet you face-to-face, there’s no disconnect—only confirmation of what they already sensed in your image: authenticity, warmth, and truth.
But when a photo is overly altered—when it masks the lines of laughter, softens the eyes too much, or reshapes features into something unrecognizable—it creates a disconnect. Instead of building trust, it builds a wall. The viewer might admire the image, but they’re not meeting you. And when they do meet you in person, something feels off. The soul they felt drawn to in the photo isn’t fully present—because the photo wasn’t fully true.
We all want to look our best, and a little polish is perfectly fine. But let’s not trade away authenticity for perfection. Let your photo reflect the real you—the journey in your eyes, the warmth in your smile, the light in your spirit. That’s what draws people in. That’s what creates a real connection.
So here’s what I’ve come to realize—your image isn’t just about how you look; it’s about how you feel in your own skin. It’s about being seen as you truly are, not as who you think the world wants to see. That’s the real magic.
When we show up authentically—wrinkles, wisdom, laugh lines, and all—we give others permission to do the same. We become mirrors of truth, not illusions of perfection. So the next time you step in front of a camera, bring your whole self. Let your eyes speak your journey. Let your smile carry your light.
Because what the camera sees should be what the world feels: you—honest, beautiful, and unapologetically real.

Quantum Spirituality with Sara Troy and her guest Philippa Ross, on air from August 12th
There was a time when I felt small and insignificant. A total misfit and failure because I didn’t measure up to society’s ‘norm.’ I had no value and had nothing of value to offer. Today I feel liberated – empowered and able to be authentic because I know and appreciate my innate value which I use to add value for the greater good.
I do this by empowering others to let go of rules, regulations and roles that society uses to define our value; guiding them to discover their True North and how to cultivate the conditions for their soul, heart, mind and body to thrive.
A brief narrative of where you started, how you arrived at your current work, and who you are behind the profession.
My journey evolved organically, each experience building on the next instalment. I’ve worked in a number of industries – social welfare, law, hospitality, advertising, marketing, media – newsroom assistant for live nightly programme and won the franchise for the first radio station on the Isle of Wight in 1990.
Started studying child development with the Open University in the UK because I wanted to understand my own children who were 3 and 1 at the time. It ignited a dormant curiosity to learn and I ended up studying for 6 years, gaining a Batchelor of Science Honours Degree in Psychology in 2003 – all while juggling 3 jobs and bringing up two children. I continued feeding my soul, studying quantum science, human ecology, energy psychology, ontology, philosophy, epigenetics, psychoneuroimmunology and the environment.
I’ve trained as an Equine Assisted Learning facilitator and level 2 Reiki practitioner. I’m fascinated in sacred geometry and feng shui and have used the principles to design and build my tiny home in 2024.
I walked 280km along the Camino coastal path between Portugal and Spain last year with my brother.
I’m an eco warrior and thalasophile (ocean lover). My GGG Grandfather, Sir James Clark Ross discovered the North magnetic pole in 1831 and the Ross Sea region in Antarctica in 1841. I was involved with international campaign to get marine protection for the Ross Sea for 4 years which finally succeeded in 2016. I visited Antarctica for the first time in 2016 and going again in January 2026.

Raising Your Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Tina Feigal, on air from August 12th
Nationally acclaimed parent coach and trainer Tina Feigal returns with this revised edition of her book, formerly titled The Pocket Coach for Parents. With new content on trauma-effective parenting,Present Moment Parenting: Your Guide to a Peaceful Life with Your Intense Child will help you: — Understand the connection between the child’s heart and brain — Recognize how the brain responds to stress and trauma — Learn effective parenting strategies to decrease intensity and create peace at home
There are many reasons a child doesn’t respond to typical parenting techniques–a mental health diagnosis (such as ADHD or ODD), a life challenge (such as divorce or removal from home), autism, attachment issues, giftedness, physical or emotional trauma–or simply being ”hard to handle.” Whatever the root cause of the intensity, Present Moment Parenting will give you the tools you need to create a peaceful life.
After raising my 3 beautiful sons, I returned to university to finish my bachelor’s and then master’s degree in School Psychology. I then worked in schools for a few years and later decided to attend a weekend training to become a life coach. Walking out of the training, I had this inspirational thought: “I’m a parent coach!” Since this was in 2000, there were no other parent coaches, so I set out to create the role. I’ve now certified over 850 parent coaches worldwide, and also helped a treatment foster care organization to build a team of 24 parent coaches to help kids stay put in their homes instead of being moved from home to home because of their behavior. They’ve been highly successful while using my Present Moment Parenting methods. I wrote a book by the same title, and also the “Healing the Heart of Your Traumatized Child” e-book. My TEDx Talk is “How to Stop Kids’ Meltdowns and Gain Their Cooperation.”
