C25-11. Jerry Giordano’s 7-word Philosophy


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Jerry Giordano, on air from March 18th

With personal insights and a lot of humor, Jerry talks about why we do what we do and how it’s sabotaging our relationships and ourselves. Jerry has put his 7-word philosophy into practice by interviewing over 200 people from the ages of thirteen to ninety-four.

He had tried everything—every form of therapy, seminar, retreat, life coach, past-life regression, psychic reading, and self-help book available—but no matter how much he learned or how many breakthroughs he thought he had, the same emptiness remained. It wasn’t until he hit rock bottom, losing his mother to cancer and watching his fiancée walk away in the span of weeks, that he realized something profound: everything he had been doing was a left-brained approach—logic trying to fix an emotional wound. No amount of analysis could resolve what was buried deep in his unconscious. It was through mindfulness and meditation that he finally saw the truth—his easygoing, people-pleasing persona wasn’t who he really was; it was a mask, one he had worn for so long that even he had mistaken it for his true self. That’s when he discovered the 7 Words approach, a method that led him to uncover the unconscious story running his life. For the first time, he wasn’t just treating symptoms—he was rewriting the script that had been controlling him all along.

Jerry Giordano is an award-winning advertising and branding copywriter as well as a creative director who has lived and worked in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, and Dallas. He has worked for some of the largest advertising agencies in the world, including Ogilvy and J. Walter Thompson. He was also the in-house Creative Director for the National Football League (NFL) and has helped propel an impressive array of powerhouse brands including Duracell, Kraft Foods, American Express, Maxwell House Coffee, Philip Morris Corporate, Fox Studios, Food & Wine Magazine, International Paper, the United Way, Hardees, the British Tourism Authority, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and countless others.

Being a polymath with an unquenchable curiosity has led Jerry to become a keen observer of the human psyche and the ensuing behaviors. Typically, his work starts with the notion that “he knows nothing,” which allows him to consider everything—sifting through content to find the gem. Jerry is a collector, inspector, and connector of dots, which he credits to much of his success as an advertising creative and the author of Your 7 Words to a Happier You. Jerry was a co-producer of one of the world’s first TEDx events, has penned four screenplays—including a top 10 finalist at the SLAMDANCE film festival—studied sketch comedy professionally at Second City in Chicago, and has performed sketch comedy in NYC and regularly on the main stage at the Comic Strip in LA. 

He collects quotes and old cameras, photographs manhole covers (street art) from around the world, and is obsessed with the JFK assassination (which he will gladly discuss ad nauseam over a scotch or coffee). Jerry also meditates regularly. Though originally from New Jersey, he now lives in the moment.

“As a psychotherapist, introducing a number of clients to their 7 Words has been an effective tool for uncovering their unconscious stories and circumventing their sabotaging lifelong patterns. The discovery of my own words was the breakthrough I was unknowingly in search of for decades! Jerry’s writing exudes an uncommon vulnerability, clarity and authenticity, and this book takes self-help/self-discovery to a transcendent level.”— Melissa D. Borski, MRC, CFRC, LPC

C25-10. Sunshower Rose Transformative Art


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest, Sunshower Rose, on air from March 11th

The Transformative Power of Art

Art is more than just a visual expression—it is a language of the soul, a bridge between the seen and the unseen. Whether through watercolor, digital mediums, or performance, art captures the essence of human experience, reflecting our emotions, stories, and intuitive wisdom. It is a tool for self-discovery, a means of connection, and a legacy that transcends time.

Like the work of Sunshower Rose, who has immortalized faces, moments, and messages through her artistry, creativity is a gift that speaks beyond words. It is a reminder that art is not just what we create but how we bring our essence into the world.

C25.10. Lisa Andria is OK with Vulnerability


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Lisa Andria, on air from March 18th

Living your unique purpose and passion and being OK with vulnerability in that process – I lived my life being afraid to be myself for fear that others wouldn’t like the real me. Being bullied as a “nerdy” kid and feeling ugly and ignored, I was afraid to be my true self.  I was a people pleaser, which led to an unhappy marriage, blindly working for a corporation for 41 years, and, unfortunately, not loving myself.  Once I hit rock bottom, I realized I needed to go on a transforming journey. My mission in life is to help women honor and prioritize themselves much sooner than it took me. I am inspired to help women stop floating through life and lead them on a path to honor their “why” through self-discovery, healing of old wounds, and unwavering support for change. All while taking a leap of faith in themselves.

C25-05. Warren Farrell & Lifelong Love


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest, Dr. Warren Farrell, on air from February 4th

As Valentine’s Day approaches, romance is in the air. Falling in love is a biological, natural experience, releasing high levels of feel-good dopamine. Staying in love? That’s not in Cupid’s job description. We, mortals, are left struggling with what to do after the initial love-struck euphoria fades and reality hits. No wonder so many blissful marriages end in bitter divorces.  

New York Times bestselling author and internationally recognized expert on couples’ communication, Dr. Warren Farrell has repeatedly observed a heartbreaking fact for many couples: sustaining love is biologically unnatural. In his latest book, Role Mate to Soul Mate: The Seven Secrets to Lifelong Love, Dr. Farrell reveals his solutions to breaking through our natural defenses against making love last. As he has found, real couples can live happily ever after if they learn how to handle personal criticism from each other without becoming defensive.

Dr. Farrell has discovered seven core secrets to keeping the early spark of love burning strong in a relationship through decades and life’s inevitable challenges. Yet, as he impresses on couples, sustaining love takes commitment and practice. Drawing on his 30 years of experience teaching couples’ communication workshops, Dr. Warren Farrell can share his trusted secrets and tested practices with your audience. For starters, he can discuss how to:

  • Appreciate your partner creatively, consistently, and specifically
  • Transform the “Four Depleters of Love”—Criticisms, Complaining, Complacency, and Controlling—into ways to deepen love
  • Master the eleven “Soul Mate Wisdoms.”
  • Play together, keeping the fun and passion alive, to stay together
  • Create win-win solutions to even the stickiest problems

Recognized by the Financial Times of London as one of the world’s top 100 thought leaders, he has been a pioneer in both the women’s movement (elected three times to the Board of the National Organization for Women) and the men’s movement (called the “Martin Luther King of the men’s movement” by GQ). He advocates for a “Gender Liberation Movement, freeing both sexes from rigid roles of the past.” His books have been published in 19 languages and include Why Men Are the Way They Are (1986), The Myth of Male Power (1993), and The Boy Crisis (2018).

He and his wife Liz have been together for more than 30 years.
