ECO26-12. Norma Burnson & Our Future

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Eco Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Norma Burnson, on air from March 24th

“Together we can keep Mother Nature Vibrant and Alive.”

In 2013, I took a chance and wrote a book. Little did I know how many doors it would open or how many fascinating people I would meet along the way. Throughout my life’s journey, I have gathered little tidbits of wisdom here and there, and now in my seventies, my treasure chest is full of gems collected from experience and the people I’ve encountered.

Along the way, there have been many wonderful surprises—meeting kindred spirits who have shared their own insights and stories. Together, their gems and mine have created a rich collection of experiences: some funny, some sad, but all offering a unique point of view from each collaborator.

Come along with me through these stories and enjoy a virtual journey into the minds of today’s movers and shakers.

Upon returning to the United States, I used my GI Bill to attend the University of Illinois in Chicago, where I graduated with honors and was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. After graduation, I worked as an International Trade Specialist and later as a University Instructor. From there, I went on to start my own business in International Trade, eventually retiring when my health began to deteriorate.

During a period of being bedridden, I turned to writing books and articles, which led to an invitation from Sir Richard Branson to participate in conversations about the future of our planet. It was at that point that I began focusing on my advocacy: “Together we can keep Mother Nature Vibrant and Alive.” At present, I am putting together the SFFTG iNews 2026 issue and launching a new children’s book series.

If you were to visit me today, you would likely find Kevin—my husband of 50 years—cooking up a new recipe and maintaining his absolutely maddening focus on World War II, while I would be reading, painting, sewing, or tending to my indoor garden.

AK26-12. Anna Binder Reardon’s Autonomy of Self-Confidence

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Anna Binder Readon, on air from March 24th

Lurking in the basement of her life is the ache of depression and the torment of life as an addict. Meet Amelia, a character closely based on the tumultuous youth of author Anna Binder Reardon.

In Reardon’s dramatization of her own life, Wethersfield Road is a moving story of healing. Through it all, Amelia has her besties by her side: a bottle and a bong, the binge-purge cycle, and risky hookups. She’s the cross-faded chaos queen of nobody’s dreams. Feeling lost, Amelia’s connection with her horse, Hope, seems to be her last reason to stick around. But even that simplest love can’t save her by itself. She topples into a shameful series of crash landings. From domestic violence to cringeworthy sexual encounters and drug-induced shame spirals, she can’t catch her breath. A brutal equine wake-up call propels Amelia to rescue herself in the way only she can. She must first resist her default setting: self-sabotage. In an interview, Reardon can share with us:

“This book depicts domestic violence, sexual trauma, substance abuse, eating disorders, and severe mental illness,” says Reardon. “The intention of exploring these topics is to tell the truth about the ways we as humans struggle. This is ultimately a redemptive story about recovery in all its various forms. Amelia’s journey can be messy, but as most of us know all too well, healing is anything but linear. May we all have the time and space we need to heal and feel whole.”

Anna Binder Reardon is a former therapist who writes novels and personal essays about people in therapy. When it comes to mental health, her goal is to destigmatize the struggles and normalize care and support. Her core work embodies my core belief in the transformative power of vulnerability.

With a Master’s Degree in Counseling from St. Edward’s University, her three-plus years as a mental health therapist, and her own experiences on the fainting couch, she brings actual clinical and personal knowledge to her writings.  She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from St. Edward’s University.

An LMFTA counselor, she specialized in eating disorders, was a certified intuitive eating counselor, and she treated individuals, families, couples, kids, and teens.

Reardon was a competitive, semi-professional horseback rider for eight years. Born in Teaneck, New Jersey, she moved to Austin, Texas at age seven, where she now resides with her husband, Tanner, and their Golden Retriever Jax, and their Corgi-mix Oliver.

26-11. International Womens Decade

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy. On air from March 17th

I recently had the joy of being part of a beautiful two-day summit celebrating International Women’s Day with Deb Drummond, which I also see as a kind of Independence Day for women—a liberation from centuries of restraint, expectation, control, and limitation. After nearly 14 years of podcasting, I have interviewed countless women who have risen from pain, grief, loss, and unimaginable challenges, not allowing what happened to them to define them, but instead choosing to heal, grow, and become a light for others. That is what this era of womanhood is about: courage, compassion, common sense, collaboration, and the willingness to rise—not in competition, but in contribution.

Women are no longer willing to be dictated to, diminished, or owned; they are stepping into their own voice, their own wisdom, and their own power. We need this now more than ever, a world led with empathy, accountability, creativity, and care, where women support one another, teach the next generation differently, and help build communities rooted in love rather than control. Let International Women’s Day not be just one day, but a continued movement of women stepping up, standing tall, and shining as the powerful, beautiful force they truly are.

International Women’s Day may be marked on the calendar for a single day, but its spirit should live on every day. It is a call for women everywhere to step into their strength, trust their inner voice, and shine their light without apology. When women empower themselves and lift one another up, we help shape a future built not on greed or control, but on collaboration, compassion, and possibility for all.
