26-22. Graduating Through Life


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air June 2nd

Graduation is not just about caps, gowns, diplomas, or walking across a stage. Graduation is life’s way of saying, “You have grown beyond where you once were.”

Right now, thousands of young people are stepping out of schools and into a world that feels uncertain, demanding, exciting, and sometimes overwhelming. They are told they must know who they are, what they want, and where they are going. But truthfully, life is not a straight staircase, it is a series of graduations.

We graduate from innocence into awareness.
From fear into courage.
From limitation into possibility.
From surviving into living

From doubt to clarity

And the beautiful thing is, we never stop graduating.

For our young people, this moment can feel both thrilling and terrifying. Some are celebrating with certainty, while others are silently asking themselves, “What now?” Some are stepping into university, trades, travel, work, or entrepreneurship. Others are simply trying to figure out who they are in a world constantly telling them who they should be.

But perhaps the greatest graduation is not academic at all.

It is the graduation into self.

The moment we stop living only by expectation and begin listening to our own knowingness. The moment we understand that success is not merely measured by money, titles, followers, or status, but by whether we are becoming whole within ourselves.

Life itself is an ongoing upscaling.

Each challenge asks us to grow larger than the fear.
Each heartbreak asks us to deepen in compassion and understanding.
Each failure asks us to become wiser and listen in.
Each success asks us to become more responsible with our gifts and use them wisely.

Upscaling is not about becoming “better than” others. It is about becoming more fully aligned with who we truly are.

For many graduates today, the pressure is immense. Social media has created a world of comparison where people feel behind before they have even begun. Yet every soul has its own timing, its own curriculum, its own classroom of growth.

Some people graduate early in wisdom.
Some graduate through adversity, lack of health, wealth, connection .
Some through loss and fear, facing the inner devil.
Some through service, understanding their unique role in life.
Some through love, self love , love of life, love of whom you serve in life.

And many adults listening today may realize they too are graduating right now, from old beliefs, old careers, old identities, old wounds, or old limitations

Life keeps calling us forward.

Perhaps we need to stop asking children, “What are you going to do?” and instead ask, “Who are you becoming?”

Because when people know who they are, what they do begins to align naturally.

This show is a celebration not only of school graduates, but of every person willing to rise into the next version of themselves. Every person choosing growth over stagnation. Every person brave enough to begin again.

Graduation is not an ending.
It is an invitation.

An invitation to explore.
To discover.
To stumble and rise again.
To trust your own voice.
To bring your gifts to the world.
To understand that life itself is a continual education of the soul.

And no matter your age, you are never too old to upscale your life, your thinking, your compassion, your purpose, or your dreams.

So to all graduates of every age and stage of life:

May you walk forward not in fear of the unknown, but in curiosity of what is possible.
May you understand that your worth is not dependent on perfection.
May you remember that every experience is shaping your wisdom.
And may you always allow life to keep graduating you into greater awareness, service, and truth.

Because the real diploma in life is not paper.
It is the wisdom we embody.

26-21 “The Rise of Conscious Rebellion”


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air

“Why People Are Craving Meaning Right Now” Equality, Peace and Good Vibrations

Many people look at the world today and feel as though everything is falling apart. Systems are breaking, trust is eroding, fear is rising, division is everywhere, and humanity seems exhausted by conflict, greed, control, and disconnection. For many, it feels like the end of the world. In many ways, it is — but not necessarily in the way people fear.

Perhaps it is the ending of an old way of living. An old consciousness built upon power over people instead of empowerment of people. A world driven by greed instead of service, division instead of unity, consumption instead of care, and fear instead of understanding. The structures we built no longer sustain the soul of humanity, and what no longer serves life must eventually give way to something new.

Throughout history, humanity has gone through periods of collapse and rebirth. We are now standing in one of those profound transitional moments. The old systems are cracking because people are awakening. They are questioning what they have been taught, questioning leadership, questioning priorities, questioning what success truly means, and questioning why so many feel disconnected from themselves, from one another, and from life itself.

This is where conscious rebellion begins.

Not rebellion through hatred, violence, destruction, or revenge, but rebellion through awareness, compassion, empathy, accountability, and courageous humanity. It is the rebellion of people refusing to surrender their hearts to fear. Refusing to dehumanize one another. Refusing to allow anger and division to strip away kindness, common sense, and dignity.

Conscious rebellion is choosing compassion in a world profiting from outrage. It is choosing understanding when division is easier. It is standing for truth without losing humanity. It is recognizing that we cannot create a better future using the same consciousness that created the suffering we are now experiencing.

The rise of higher consciousness is not about perfection or superiority. It is about awakening to the understanding that every action affects the collective. That empathy matters. That how we treat one another matters. That humanity cannot survive if we continue operating without care for one another, for the planet, or for future generations.

What is being born now is not weakness, but a different kind of strength — a strength rooted in emotional intelligence, collaboration, compassion, responsibility, and conscious action. People are beginning to realize that domination is not leadership, cruelty is not power, and manipulation is not wisdom.

The old world may indeed be ending, but endings are often the birthplace of transformation. Just as forests burn so new growth may emerge, humanity too may be moving through a painful but necessary shedding. The question is not whether change is coming. The question is what consciousness we choose to carry into what comes next.

Will we continue feeding fear, anger, greed, and separation?
Or will we fuel the rise of empathy, compassion, understanding, and conscious humanity?

The future will be shaped by that choice.

BB26-21. Mike Qu & Total Freedom


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Mike Qu, on air from May 26th

THE FUTURE IS UNPREDICTABLE…

But it does NOT mean you leave your family’s future up to chance!

You are here because you take charge over your family’s future, and consider these factors independently:

My personal mission in life is to help families achieve their freedom. Of course, it varies by family. However, the critical overlap is in financial freedom. Imagine family function if every family can make decisions without financial scarcity , and the children growing up in a household where their upbringing isn’t bound by finances. I am fortunate enough to know at least one way to achieve this, and that’s the method I want to share with the audience. The fact that I’m at an oil and gas company providing direct oil and gas well ownership to investors is just a slice of that mission. 

It’s one thing for me to share the concept and roadmap with folks and say good luck. But much more impactful if I can share the roadmap AND give concrete steps to take this year for people. That’s how I can actually achieve impact for families.

I started in the software industry and while the salary was great, life was just passing, with very little freedom to show for it. After close to a decade, it was enough for me. I went off to build my financial freedom first, and then show that path so people have at least one proven way to do it.

C26-21. Sara Fernandes, Reinvention in Midlife.


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Sara Fernandes, on air from May 26th

Reinvention in Midlife: From Overwhelm to Clarity

I help midlife women who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or unfulfilled reconnect with themselves and create a life that feels aligned with who they are. My work is rooted in the belief that clarity doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from making decisions and honoring where you are. Through my own journey of navigating debt, uncertainty, reinvention, and starting over in a new country, I learned that growth isn’t about becoming someone new, but about returning to yourself. Today, through my work as a Clarity and Growth Coach, the Life Mastery Magazine, and the Life Mastery Circle, I support women in moving from confusion to clarity, from pressure to self-trust, and from simply coping to consciously creating a life that truly fits who they are now.

BB26-20. Nikki Mahy, Loss to Empowerment


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Nikki Mahy, on air from May 19th

I became a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) because I wanted to help people improve their financial health. At the young age of 16, I experienced a loss that forever changed my family. I watched my mum step into the role of head of our household, and in that moment, I knew I needed to have the tools to navigate life independently.  As women, we often put our own needs on the back burner while focusing on solving or fixing everyone else’s. As a financial planner, I have the privilege of listening closely to what truly matters to my clients and helping them develop a plan that builds financial confidence so they can direct their time, energy, and resources toward the areas of life that matter most to them.

Born and raised in the beautiful Comox Valley, Nikki later relocated to Nanaimo to support her son’s dream of excelling in the sport of lacrosse. When she is not working with clients or cheering from the lacrosse field, Nikki enjoys staying active with her dog, exploring the city and the surrounding areas she is proud to now call home.
