We have done many a show on our pets and animals in general through the years. We speak to the well beingness, their heart and souls and what they mean to us as a humanity.
Here you will find heartwarming tales and insightful discussions about our beloved furry, feathered, and scaled friends. You know, through the years, we’ve shared countless stories about our pets and the incredible role animals play in our lives. It’s been a journey filled with laughter, sometimes tears, but always with immense love and respect for these wonderful beings.
Let’s talk about not just the joy and companionship our pets bring, but also their well-being, their soulful eyes that seem to understand us better than we understand ourselves. These creatures, they’re not just pets, are they? They’re family, they’re healers, they’re our connection to a more natural, instinctive way of life.
And it’s not just about our domestic buddies. Let’s broaden our horizon to the wild ones, the majestic beings that roam the earth, air, and seas. They too have stories, they too have a place in the fabric of our world. Their survival, their rights, their habitats – they matter just as much.
On our shows, I bring in experts – from vets to wildlife champions – to shed light on these topics. But hey, this isn’t just my show, it’s ours. So, I want to hear from you. Your stories, your questions, your experiences with these amazing animals. Let’s make this a conversation, a community.
Together, let’s celebrate, protect, and learn more about our animal companions and the wild wonders that grace our planet. Stay tuned, and let’s continue this incredible journey together.
Till next time, keep loving and respecting all creatures great and small.”

NEW SHOW AIRS DECEMBER 5TH, JUST CLICK ON THE BANNER.
SHOW THREE.Composed live – music and lyrics, one song everyday for 1000 days from 8 April 2017 to 2 January 2020
This project was an afterthought before embarking on a world record attempt to establish legitimacy in the outcome. And proceeded to be a world record in its own right with the Golden Book of World Records – Longest quotidian feat of composing, producing and publishing children’s song incessantly.
SHOW TWO.‘She Played In The Dark’ is the story of a protagonist that found her own definition of and path to fulfilment and success if one may call it that. All this with the responsibility of caring for two college-going children, one of which got married and had two babies in the course of the challenge; aged parents who were always at the back of her mind, the hustle with a rather busy day job that paid the bills, health matters, any travel whether it was on the road to work, by air reaching family and friends or in a lift headed for home (and the challenge).
SHOW ONE. To share my story of realizing my calling after having reached what I imagined was a dead end. There are people out there that 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.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Paul Lange, on air from November 28th
Paul Lange get’s up every morning with the mission to transform how the world works, aligning business and pleasure as mutually inclusive.
He says boldly that in business, it matters very little what you do, because many millions of other people can do the same thing. Similarly having a “Why” or “Purpose” although important will only bring people to your door and maybe secure their first transaction. It does not drive repeat business. It is only the “HOW” of what you do that keeps people coming back, spending more money, more often and telling other people to do the same. How is experiential and experiences are both how we learn and how we determine our future actions, in the sales environment based on how we feel about whatever actions are taken.
With over three decades of experience in Private Equity/Venture Capital, Paul knows the power of the Pitch Deck document to help business owners shape and form how they give clients the type of experiences that drives to become repeat returning customers. The Pitch Deck is typically used to secure an appointment with an investor, however Paul shapes the Pitch Deck into a strategic instrument. This condensed snapshot, derived from his wealth of experience, becomes a guiding force for entrepreneurs up to medium-sized company owners in managing their businesses effectively. It facilitates informed decision-making and strategic planning, aligning actions with goals. Paul’s purpose, rooted in enabling individuals to live life and business on purpose with passion, finds expression in the pitch deck’s ability to empower business owners on their journey, maximizing the potential for financial success and operational freedom outlined in their initial aspirations.
Paul Lange is the founder of Manolutions Australia. With over 30 years in the Private Equity and Venture Capital industries, Paul’s business journey has been a rollercoaster, filled with highs and lows that have sculpted his approach to the game of life and business.
Not your average entrepreneur Paul has been the driving force behind starting, growing, and successfully selling businesses all the time incorporating the idea that business and pleasure can be aligned and mutually inclusive. What’s more, he’s been the go-to guy for others, helping them figure out how to speed up their growth and make a successful and profitable win-win exit.
What makes Paul stand out is his diverse experience – he’s been part of five businesses that hit the proverbial jackpot and learned a bunch from others that, well, didn’t exactly stick the landing. He sees those not-so-great moments as the R&D phase of business, like business crash test dummies, all of which revealed patterns that can lead to both success and failure.
For Paul, success is more than just the numbers on a balance sheet. It’s about mindful living, finding that sweet spot between personal and business wins. He’s spotted some behaviour patterns that can make or break success, and the cool part is he’s certain you can change those patterns if you know how.
At Manolutions Australia, Paul’s on a mission to share his wealth of knowledge. The company was founded to help you create management solutions that unlock and unleash your business’ full potential, no matter if you’re running a micro startup or a medium-sized enterprise.
Paul has been on the receiving end of countless pitches for investment and realised early on that there is a connection between being able to articulate in a Pitch Deck why your business is investable and having a successful business. These days Paul uses the Pitch Deck as a tool to help business owners achieve their best results and create a business that gives them the money, the freedom and importantly the personal fulfilment that is aligned with their aspirations when they first started out.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 28th
Family, the fabric of life woven with threads of love, laughter, and shared memories. For some, it’s a complex tapestry, a mix of joy and challenges. But in my experience, it’s a masterpiece of affection and warmth.
I am blessed with three remarkable grown children, their loving spouses, and three delightful grandchildren. Each one a unique strand, adding strength and beauty to the family bond. We recently gathered by a serene lake, a tranquil retreat from the world’s hustle. There, embraced by nature’s tranquility, we basked in the joy of togetherness.
Our days were filled with laughter echoing across the water, the warmth of shared stories, and the delight of great food. In those moments, the essence of family was palpable, a feeling of belonging and unconditional love.
It’s in these gatherings, simple yet profound, that the true gift of family reveals itself. It’s not just in the big celebrations, but in the quiet, cozy moments over looking the lake, where the world slows down, and we truly connect. This is the gift I cherish, the gift of a family bound not just by blood, but by an unbreakable bond of love and joy.
My journey as a parent and theirs as children, is a testament to the enduring power of love and commitment. Despite the challenges that arose from my separation 23 years ago from their father, our unwavering dedication to being a part of each others lives has cultivated a family dynamic that is both unique and strong.
In the tapestry of your family, each thread represents the differences and similarities that make our unit special. These diverse strands, woven together, have created a rich and vibrant pattern, a testament to the love and effort we’ve invested.
Our story is one of resilience and determination, showcasing that physical distance and past circumstances don’t define the strength of familial bonds. Instead, it’s the effort to remain connected, the willingness to embrace both similarities and differences, and the capacity to nurture love that truly matters.
This unity, born out of our commitment and love, has undoubtedly shaped a family culture where respect, understanding, and affection flourish. My children and grandchildren, influenced by our example, will likely learned the value of perseverance, the beauty of diversity, and the warmth of unconditional love.
Our family, a tight unit forged through years of shared experiences and nurtured relationships, stands as a beautiful illustration of what it means to overcome obstacles and maintain a bond that thrives on love and mutual respect.
May your family be foundered on love, and may you always be a unit of that love no matter the challenges.

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Misty Laboy, on air from November 28th
Join a discussion on such profound and multifaceted topics like self-love & self-acceptance, radical honesty, spiritual journeys, plant medicine, living your truth, open marriage, ethical non-monogamy, self-confidence, and body image, offers a rich ground for exploration and learning. Here are some insights and questions that could contribute to the conversation: Here are some insights and questions that could contribute to the conversation:
Self-Love & Self-Acceptance: These are foundational for personal growth and happiness. Discussing how to cultivate self-love in a world that often promotes unrealistic standards can be enlightening. How do different cultures and societies view and encourage self-love?
Radical Honesty: This concept involves being truthful to oneself and others, including in uncomfortable situations. How does practicing radical honesty impact personal relationships and self-perception? Are there limits to how and when it should be applied?
Spiritual Journey: Spirituality can take many forms and doesn’t necessarily have to be tied to religion. What are various ways people embark on spiritual journeys? How do these journeys impact their worldview and inner peace?
Plant Medicine: Discussing the use of plants for healing, both physically and mentally, opens up a conversation about traditional and alternative medicine practices. How have different cultures utilized plant medicine, and what is its role in modern healthcare?
Living Your Truth: This can mean different things to different people. What does it mean to live authentically in today’s world, and how does one balance personal truths with societal expectations?
Open Marriage and Ethical Non-Monogamy: These are important topics in the context of modern relationships. How do couples navigate these waters while maintaining trust and respect for each other? What are the misconceptions and challenges?
Self-Confidence & Body Image: In a world bombarded with images of ‘ideal’ bodies and lifestyles, fostering self-confidence and a healthy body image is crucial. How do media and culture influence our perceptions of ourselves, and what can be done to promote a healthier view?
Each of these topics is a deep well of discussion in itself, and together, they weave a complex tapestry of human experience and psychology. The key in such a discussion is to maintain openness, respect, and a willingness to understand diverse perspectives.
I’m Misty Laboy, a Master Makeup Artist, Weight Loss Advisor, and Self-Love Mentor. My journey began as an art student selling Cosmetics to put myself through college and support my family. Along the way, I discovered my passion for helping women transform inside and out. Despite achieving success in my career, I struggled with my weight until I found that diets don’t work, but lifestyle changes do. This realization led me to the top 2% of my company and a mission to help others shed pounds and gain confidence. However, my own journey toward self-love was the most profound transformation of all. In 2020, I hit a low point and embarked on a spiritual self-love journey, healing addiction and finding inner fulfillment. Now, I empower women to discover their worth beyond appearances, as I did. Join me in embracing self-love and manifesting a life that exceeds your wildest dreams!
