Barbara Wiseman & The Earth Organization

November 14, 2026November 14, 2026Sara Troy Leave a comment

For over 40 years, Barbara Wiseman has led humanitarian and environmental initiatives worldwide. As Co-Founder and President of The Earth Organization, with chapters in nine countries, she champions science-based, non-political environmental solutions to some of today’s toughest challenges. Her journey began in the 1970s helping to resettle 60,000 refugees and later hosting the nationally syndicated radio program Building a Better World. In the 80’s and 90’s she headed up one of the largest private practice consulting firms in the U.S. Today, she brings that same passion for storytelling and problem-solving to global environmental action.

Eco Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Barbara Wiseman.

Co-Founder and President of The Earth Organization.

The Earth Organization (TEO) is a science and logic based environmental solutions non-profit. For the past 13 years, one of the organization’s major focuses has been on resolving issues related to access to adequate quantities of fresh water for the needs of farmers, ranchers, municipalities, and is now providing their water location service to the first AI data center. In 2013, they identified a unique technology for locating and drilling for water resources that are alternative to shallow groundwater reservoirs. Naming it the Deep Seated Water Technology™, their scientists have brought it to a point of near 100% success in successfully drilling for water. The good news is that there truly is a remarkable and unique solution for accessing abundant quantities of water in even the most arid and drought-prone of regions.

Show Two On a World restoration for Veterans

Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Barbara Wisman.

For many veterans, returning to civilian life means losing the mission, purpose, and team that once shaped every day. At the same time, America faces another urgent battle: disappearing water, degraded soil, struggling rural communities, and a growing need to restore the land.

In this inspiring conversation, we explore the vision behind The Earth Organization’s World Restoration Trade School—a two-year, live-in program that will equip transitioning veterans with practical skills in regenerative agriculture, water resource development, soil remediation, environmental consulting, and entrepreneurship. Graduates will leave with more than a diploma; they will leave with meaningful careers and a powerful new mission: restoring the world.

With 23 years of proven environmental work behind it, this ambitious legacy project is now searching for a permanent 200-acre campus in either New Mexico or Florida. Through its Sponsor an Acre campaign, supporters can help create a lasting home where veterans become restorers—and restorers become a movement.

Show Three on Educating Awareness for our Children to Value each other and Planet

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Barbara Wiseman.

The Earth Organization (TEO) is a science and logic based environmental solutions non-profit. After observing that, despite 80-plus years of environmental conservation and restoration messages been shouting from media rooftops, so many people don’t know what to do in their own lives to help be part of the solution to restore the health of our planet. Worse, people commonly think that, to achieve a healthier planet, mankind can’t flourish and prosper and the economy must be suppressed. The organization is dedicated to educating people on rational solutions that not only benefit nature, but also people, jobs, and business and industry, as well.

Learning about the importance of helping others is basic to living a successful and happy life. In this podcast, we speak to that and how serving our children and adults.

26-45. Going Blue

November 9, 2026November 9, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 10th

I’m Going Blue! Turning the Blues into Something Beautiful ?

The Positive Power of Blue: A Wave of Hope, Healing, Wisdom, and New Beginnings

There is something wonderfully synchronistic happening in my life right now. America is turning blue, blue has always been my divine colour, and to add a delightful twist, I am moving my Self Discovery Wisdom website to Bluehost! It seems the universe has a sense of humour, and I am quite happy to go along with it.

Blue has always held a special meaning for me. It speaks to my soul, representing communication, understanding, compassion, truth, and the wisdom that comes when we truly listen. It is a colour of depth, openness, and possibility, and right now, I feel drawn to embrace everything positive it represents.

As I watch the political landscape in America shift, I find myself wondering whether we can take this moment beyond politics. We have spent so much time divided by red and blue, left and right, us and them, that perhaps we have forgotten the greater purpose of leadership: to serve the people, protect our freedoms, and create opportunities for everyone to thrive.

A blue wave should not simply be about changing who holds power. It should be about changing how we use power.

What if we made everything positively blue?

Not the blue of sadness or despair, but the blue of an open sky filled with possibilities, the ocean reminding us of life’s depth, and the still waters that invite us to reflect before we react.

The Many Shades of Positive Blue

Blue for Truth: Having the courage to speak honestly, stand for justice, and remain true to our values without losing our compassion.

Blue for Healing: Releasing the exhaustion of constant conflict and allowing ourselves to find peace, restoration, and renewed purpose.

Blue for Unity: Building bridges across our differences and recognising that disagreement does not have to mean disrespect.

Blue for Wisdom: Listening to one another, learning from lived experiences, and understanding that wisdom grows when we remain open to discovery.

Blue for Our Planet: Remembering that we all share this magnificent blue Earth, with its oceans, skies, and precious life, and that caring for it is a responsibility we hold together.

Blue for Hope: Believing that change is possible and that our words, thoughts, choices, and actions can help create a kinder, more conscious world.

Beyond Politics, Into Possibility

For some, America’s changing political landscape brings hope; for others, uncertainty. But whatever our political beliefs, surely we can recognise the need for greater accountability, integrity, kindness, and respect.

We cannot heal division by simply reversing who is on top. We heal it by changing how we see and treat one another.

I want to see a world where leadership is measured not by how much power someone can accumulate, but by how many lives they can uplift. Where strength is demonstrated through compassion rather than intimidation, and where truth matters more than winning an argument.

Perhaps this is an opportunity to ask ourselves what kind of humanity we want to become, because political change alone cannot transform a society. That transformation begins within each of us.

Turning the Blues into Something Beautiful

There is a wonderful irony in the expression feeling blue. We have long associated this beautiful colour with sadness, yet when I look at blue, I see freedom, expansion, tranquillity, and endless horizons.

And as I prepare to move Self Discovery Wisdom into its new digital home, I see another chapter unfolding in my own journey. After all these years of sharing thousands of conversations filled with people’s stories, discoveries, struggles, triumphs, and wisdom, I am still learning, growing, and welcoming new beginnings.

Perhaps that is what blue is reminding me of right now: change does not always have to be feared. Sometimes it is an invitation to become more of who we truly are.

I have always believed that inspiration begets invitation. When we choose to live with heart, soul, and spirit, we naturally invite others to discover their own light.

So rather than allowing the blues to weigh us down, let us turn them into something uplifting. Let blue represent the courage to care, the wisdom to listen, the strength to stand for what is right, and the compassion to remember that we are all sharing this human experience.

Because ultimately, it is not the colour of our politics, our clothing, the blue’s music, or even our website host that defines us.

It is the colour of our character, the depth of our compassion, and the light we bring into the lives of others.

And as for me?

I am not feeling blue. I am going blue — divinely blue, positively blue, and beautifully blue!

Now, who wants to join me in turning the blues into something beautiful?

Listen, feel, act, then know.

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guests Joel Salomon & Jackie Roberge. On air from November 10th

Many of us start on a path early in life without much reflection. After high school, we are often guided by societal expectations, fear, or a desire for stability as we choose a college major or career path. Our first job, first home, and first child can solidify this trajectory, making it feel impossible to change course. Over time, the path becomes more and more worn, and we can feel stuck in a lifestyle that we tell ourselves can only be supported by a typical, stable 9-to-5 job. Eventually, dissatisfaction can take over and people may experience disillusionment, depression, or what some may call a mid-life or existential crisis. My coaching clients often ask themselves the question, is this all there is?

Joel and I see too many people spend their entire lives—60, 70, or even 80 years—wondering what they should be doing or, worse, knowing their purpose but not pursuing it out of fear that they won’t be successful and able to support themselves or their family. But what if there were other options? What if purpose and prosperity could coexist?

By combining our expertise—Joel as a prosperity coach and Jackie as a Purpose Coach—we aim to support you in exploring your purpose and establishing the financial security needed to thrive. We don’t believe that you have to settle for a job that merely pays the bills. Our goal is to help you create a life that feels vibrant and purposeful—one where you’re passionate about your unique contribution and achieve financial security.

Joel is a Finance, Mindful Money Expert and Prosperity Coach who helps others overcome obstacles standing in the way of their financial freedom. He’s an award winning TEDx speaker, workshop facilitator and frequent television and podcast guest. As a former manager of a $700 million portfolio, the creator of his own successful hedge fund and the author of three best-selling books, he has learned that the true foundation of wealth is a mindset of gratitude, love and service.

Jackie Roberge is passionate about helping people live lives of meaning and purpose.

Jackie is a Certified True Purpose Coach, leadership coach, facilitator, Partner at Mindsmatter, and long-time meditator. With more than 30 years of experience in corporate marketing, consulting, facilitation, and leadership development, and over a decade as a professional coach, she brings a practical, grounded yet intuitive approach to personal and professional growth.

She empowers people to find the courage to act on what they value and move confidently in the direction of what matters most. Her approach draws on purpose and values-driven coaching, mindfulness, meditation and visualization, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Nonviolent Communication.

26-44. Fictional Villains or Reflections?

November 2, 2026November 2, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 3rd

Fictional villains who reflect real-world abuses of power.

Why are we so fascinated by villains and the power they wield? And why do we keep looking to superheroes to come and save us, when perhaps the greatest power of all lies within ourselves, the courage to stand up, take responsibility, and become the heroes of our own lives?

Perhaps superheroes inspire us to discover the hero within ourselves, while villains reflect the darkness, fear, and evil we see in the world around us. But in the end, we must realize that we are the heroes of our own lives and communities. We each carry the courage, compassion, wisdom, and strength to make a difference. We do not need extraordinary powers to do extraordinary things. When we rise above fear, stand together, and lead with heart, soul, and spirit, we become the light that pushes back the darkness. For the greatest heroes are not those who come to save us, but those who awaken the hero within others, inspiring us all to rise, unite, and create a world worth believing in.

Let us step into the world of fictional villains and look beyond their frightening faces to the fear, greed, manipulation, and hunger for power that drive them. Then let us look at the world we live in today. Are these villains really just characters from our imagination, or do we recognize their behaviours, their tactics, and their desire for control playing out in our own society? Perhaps the most frightening part is not how fictional these villains are, but how familiar they have become.

Harry Potter's Ralph Fiennes reveals why he almost turned down Voldemort role

1. Lord Voldemort — Harry Potter

Terrified of death and weakness, he seeks immortality and absolute control. His followers obey through fear, ambition, and promises of superiority.

Parallel: Dictators who create enemies and demand unquestioning loyalty.

Star Wars 9 Palpatine Theory - How The Rise of Skywalker Connects Plagueis to Kylo Ren and Snoke

2. Emperor Palpatine — Star Wars

Manipulates political crises, manufactures fear, and persuades people to surrender freedom in exchange for security.

Parallel: Leaders who exploit emergencies to accumulate power and weaken democracy.

Coriolanus Snow | Hunger Gamepedia Wiki | Fandom

3. President Snow — The Hunger Games

Maintains power through spectacle, punishment, inequality, and fear. He understands that hope can threaten his control.

Parallel: Authoritarian rulers who keep populations divided, distracted, and afraid.

What is the Eye of Sauron in ‘The Lord of the Rings’? Did it really exist? - Meristation

4. Sauron — The Lord of the Rings

Seeks domination over all others, corrupting people through their desires for power and possession.

Parallel: Systems of corruption where ambition and greed make people surrender their principles.

Portrait of Dolores Umbridge — Harry Potter Fan Zone

5. Dolores Umbridge — Harry Potter

Hides cruelty behind politeness, rules, and claims of maintaining order. She uses institutional authority to punish dissent.

Parallel: Officials who use bureaucracy and regulations to justify oppression.

Homelander from The Boys Request for Sven Co-op | SC Requests

6. Homelander — The Boys

Desperately craves admiration, cannot tolerate criticism, and uses intimidation to maintain his heroic public image.

Parallel: Personality cults, narcissistic leadership, and the danger of unchecked power.

. Big Brother — 1984

A symbol of omnipresent state authority, surveillance, propaganda, and the manipulation of truth.

Parallel: Governments and institutions that control information and suppress independent thought.

8. Scar — The Lion King

Driven by jealousy and entitlement, he manipulates others into helping him seize a throne he believes he deserves.

Parallel: Leaders who prioritize personal ambition over the wellbeing of those they govern.

What makes this exploration so fascinating is that evil does not always wear the same face. Some villains are driven by the fear of death, others by rejection, insecurity, or the terrifying thought of losing control, while some believe they are simply entitled to rule over others. But perhaps what is even more disturbing is the power we give them. What about those who enable their rise—the followers who are too afraid to speak out, those who benefit from their cruelty, and those who convince themselves that obedience is safer than resistance? When we look at characters like Voldemort, Palpatine, President Snow, Umbridge, and Homelander, we see five different faces of destructive power, each reflecting behaviours we may recognize in our world today. So we must ask ourselves: Is the greatest danger the person who seeks absolute power, or the fear, silence, and blind obedience of those who allow that power to grow? And perhaps the even greater question is, at what point do we stop waiting for someone else to stand up and recognize that we have the power, the voice, and the responsibility to stand together and change the story?
