Coming This April 1st: A Powerful eBook & Audio Experience ?
“I Didn’t Become Selfish, I Became Harder to Manipulate”

Too many of us know the sting of manipulation…
The subtle control, the emotional coercion, and the bullying are masked as love or care.

This isn’t just a book—it’s a movement of truth-telling.
In this compelling multi-author eBook and Audio, 27 courageous souls—both men and women from across the globe—have come together to bare their stories.
Stories of reclaiming power.
Of saying “no more.”
Of finding their way back to self-worth and soul-sovereignty.

Each chapter is a doorway into personal transformation—raw, real, and resonant. And it doesn’t stop on the page…
This book is paired with an audio version where each author reads their own chapter aloud so you can feel the truth, the emotion, and the breakthroughs in their own voice.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in someone else’s narrative, this book is for you.
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much” or “not enough,”
If choosing yourself has been mistaken for selfishness.

You are not alone.
These stories are here to remind you:
You are worthy. You are powerful. And you deserve to live free from manipulation.

? Release Date: Tuesday, April 1st
Share it with your community, and get ready to feel seen, heard, and empowered.

25-13. My 500th show

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 1st

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, everybody. Welcome back to another edition of Sara’s View of Life right here on selfdiscoverywisdom.org. I’m your host, Sara Troy. This episode marks my 500th show. I’ve been doing Sara’s View of Life for twelve years now, and this is my 500th episode. Of course, I’ve done many, many other shows interviewing other people, but Sara’s View of Life is just me—my perspective, my point of view.

Well, let’s take a look back. When I first started, the show was called Ask Sara, and I was hoping people would interact with me—ask questions and share topics I could talk about. But that didn’t quite happen. So, it evolved into Sara’s View of Life because I also had a program by that name, which focused on assessing your two colors, astrology, numerology, Chineseology, and the continuity between them all—compiling your personality traits to help you understand who you are, why you are, and how you interact with the world. It reveals why people perceive you a certain way, highlights your strengths, and acknowledges your challenges. I still offer that—now and again—you can find it at sarah.com. But podcasting, writing books, and producing other content has taken precedence.

I recently did a show on youth, which is a topic very close to my heart, especially as I produced Our Forgotten Children, a book focused on how we’re not truly serving our youth and how the system must evolve to support them better. Why do I do what I do? Because I interview people who are making a real difference in the world—people who educate, empower, and illuminate us. And I love it. I love the people I meet. Just recently, I did a show on AI and medicine, exploring how artificial intelligence can support doctors and medical practitioners—not just with paperwork but by gathering and assessing patient information in one place. Imagine having an accident and being rushed into an ER anywhere in the world—AI could help them instantly access your history, potentially saving your life and a great deal of time for the doctors. The benefits are immense.

I also love the shows where authors come on to share their books, or guests introduce programs that help people with health, mental well-being, business, raising children, music, and even support for veterans—you name it. But this particular episode is just me. My thoughts, my reflections. I always have something to share each week, so many different perspectives—500 of them now! And that’s just on my current network. I did many more on a previous network, but sadly, the host didn’t save those episodes and took them down. I no longer have access to them.

So let’s reflect. Across these 500 shows, everything I’ve shared comes from the heart. It all stems from a desire for humanity to rise into a higher state of consciousness. It’s rooted in the challenges we face—challenges I’ve faced myself. I’ve been completely open about my struggles, whether physical, mental, or spiritual. There have been many times I’ve battled through it, and I’ve shared how I felt in those moments. But for me, it’s always about more than just naming the problem—it’s about looking at what we can do about it. It’s always about, “What can we do?”

IG25-12. Brian Seth Hurst is “WHOLE”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Brian Seth Hurst, on air from March 25th

In a world filled with uncertainty, self-doubt, and constant change, how do we find a sense of wholeness and inner certainty? Brian Seth Hurst’s WHOLE is a profound exploration of personal transformation, guiding listeners through the journey of self-inquiry and belief shifts that unlock a deeper understanding of their true selves. Having faced his own life-altering wake-up call, Brian shares the insights and tools that helped him—and can help others—redefine their narratives, release limiting beliefs, and cultivate resilience and self-awareness. With the release of the WHOLE audiobook and companion workbook, this conversation is more timely than ever, offering listeners the wisdom to move forward with purpose, authenticity, and clarity. Whether you are at a personal crossroads, seeking fulfillment, or simply ready to reclaim your power, this episode will inspire you to embark on your own journey to becoming WHOLE. 

Brian Seth Hurst’s WHOLE is more than a book—it’s a transformational guide for those navigating a personal wake-up call. Brian’s journey began with a life-altering experience that forced him to question his beliefs, challenge his perceptions, and ultimately rebuild himself from within. Through deep introspection and self-inquiry, he discovered that true healing and fulfillment come from embracing the stories we tell ourselves and reshaping them into a path toward wholeness. 

Brian shares WHOLE because now, more than ever, people are searching for clarity, self-empowerment, and meaning in uncertain times. The book, along with its new audiobook and companion workbook, provides the tools to break through limiting beliefs, cultivate self-awareness, and create a life rooted in authenticity and purpose. 

This conversation will benefit anyone at a crossroads—whether facing personal transformation, professional reinvention, or simply seeking a more intentional and fulfilling life. Brian’s insights are for those ready to step into their power, rewrite their internal narratives, and finally become WHOLE

Brian Seth Hurst wasn’t in his university philosophy class the day metaphysics was defined. Little did he know that discovering what lies beyond the visible world would become a lifelong avocation. Balancing the study of life with the business of life has led Brian to describe himself as a “metapractical” man. 

In 2012, he released the first edition of WHOLE. In response to readers who wanted to explore the book’s concepts and insights more deeply, he has now created The Whole Companion Workbook, featuring exercises designed to complement each chapter, drawn from his work of over 40 years as an intuitive counselor and coach with thousands of clients. 

A well-regarded international entertainment professional and prominent figure in the world of media, storytelling, and immersive experiences, he is known for his work as a producer, strategist, and writer, focusing on pioneering new forms of content and storytelling techniques. Hurst has been at the forefront of the intersection between traditional media and emerging technologies, particularly in areas like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and cross-platform storytelling. He has held leadership positions at The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, and the Producers Guild of America. 

Brian’s last literary adventure was as co-author, alongside Olivia Newton-John, of the best-selling children’s book A Pig Tale. 

In 2023, after a 40-year absence, Hurst returned to performing, writing, and appearing in the one-man show Full Circle in Los Angeles and Palm Springs.

25-12. Empower Our Youth

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 18th

This week, I’m going to be talking about our youth.

I’ve done many shows on children—catching them young, nurturing their gifts, and showing them how to use those gifts to serve humanity and the planet. I have spoken about my brother Sam Hawksmore’s and his books, which dive into the youth journeys of self-love, resilience, and discovery. These stories have always liberated me, offering a youthful perspective while teaching profound lessons about today’s reality.

But when we look at our youth today, we see so many feeling lost. And who can blame them? They are growing up in a world filled with political conflicts, wars, and power struggles where leaders have forgotten their purpose—to serve the people. Many opportunities are vanishing, and the doors previous generations fought to open are now closing again.

History has shown us that marginalized communities, especially African Americans, have overcome immense obstacles to contribute to society. Each generation worked to create a better future, but today, we see those gains threatened. Brilliant voices are being silenced, networks are bowing to political pressure, and society is regressing instead of progressing.

To those being shut out—start your own. Build your own networks, platforms, and communities. Do not wait for permission to be heard. We, the people, need you. Our youth must understand they are not bound by the broken systems we inherited. They have the power to carve a new path.

Our world is in disarray. Many leaders cling to outdated ideologies, resisting progress. Our youth must realize that their future isn’t about fitting into a system that no longer works—it’s about creating one that does. They must build networks of like-minded peers, seek mentors, and claim their own spaces.

Now more than ever, knowledge is power. When people think critically, they become difficult to manipulate. That is why intellectual voices are being suppressed—because an informed society cannot be controlled. We must fight this battle, not with weapons, but with awareness, integrity, and conviction.

To every young person feeling uncertain about the future—know this: You are the architects of tomorrow. If the path before you is broken, create a new one. Find those who share your vision, build together, and refuse to accept imposed limitations.

Let’s teach our children that community, compassion, and intelligence are far more powerful than greed and division. Let’s raise them with the confidence to challenge injustice and the wisdom to navigate it effectively. Let’s encourage them to be creators, innovators, and leaders who operate with love and integrity.

We do not need another war—economic, physical, or ideological. We need a revolution of consciousness, one that values humanity over power and unity over division. The answer lies in our youth.

To parents and grandparents—talk with your children. Teach them kindness, respect, and the power they hold within. Encourage them to think critically and to listen—not just to respond but to truly understand.

Our world needs empowered youth, and it’s our responsibility to nurture and support them. Let’s apologize for the mess we’ve left them and commit to guiding them toward a brighter future. Let’s remind them that hope is not lost because they are the hope.

Until next time, let’s keep the conversation going. Our children’s future depends on it.
