Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 14th
I am proud to be a woman in todays world, for we are the answer to what the world needs. The era of famine energy is upon us, and no matter how the misogynistic men of the world complain and try and take us backwards, we are already to far forward from the lasting restraints.
We have fought a long battle to be heard, seen, listened to and embraced for who we are, but no longer, for we are that higher consciousness of a loving vibration, and nothing is going to stop us now.
Embrace your womanhood, be the strength and value you are, and become the love and peace you seek, for that will guide both men and other women to embrace all that you are.

“for the LOVE of Music” with Sara Troy and her guest Swapna Abraham, on air from March 14th
After pursuing music as a singer-songwriter for twenty-four years, primarily as a gospel music artiste, releasing twenty-one albums and performing the world over, I, Swapna Abraham, arrived at the decision to give up music altogether feeling unfulfilled. The rest was short-lived. The very next day I decided to compose, produce and publish a song a day for a thousand days; set a date to the start and finish, and started prepping for the challenge. From learning recording to the dialogue with world record organizations, funding, finding a place, arranging for equipment, getting in touch with press and getting out of a futile relationship; I was soon going to realize that the envisioned challenge had very little to do with the grind of making a song every day.
‘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).
As the author shares from her life’s narrative, the book covers the power of past failure, managing unhappiness, how parents should also work on their dreams, why we should try, recognizing opportunity, dealing with change and when there is no Plan B, using your will, inculcating discipline and habit, the secret of work, working by decision rather than inspiration, working when you cannot work, working with life going on in the background, that the world has place for all, what we can do about jealousy, the importance of quality and detail, prioritizing, choosing our battles, a whole new understanding of time, dependencies to preserve sanity, finishing what we start, leaving a legacy, about withdrawal symptoms, and that it takes a certain kind of person for a certain (t)ask.
The thousand-day endeavour resulted in four world records, and for reasons explained, not 1000 but 2321 songs (all made ‘live’) and a couple of other feathers in her hat, most importantly fulfilment.
What playing in the dark was all about… Well, for the most part she used to play the piano with the lights off. Truth be told, even after then, it was in the dark that she played.
A multiple world record holder and award winner, Swapna Abraham is a singer-songwriter, actor, author, interior designer, mentor, and marketing and branding enthusiast with her roots and formation in India and prime experience in the UAE.

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Muneeza Ahmed, on air from March 7th
My name is Muneeza Ahmed and I am the Intuitive Medicine Woman®.
And I believe that no matter where you are with your symptoms, what you are up against in life, no matter what your doctor has told you, you CAN heal. I help women 18 – 80 years old reverse chronic illness and autoimmune symptoms with medical intuition, food and supplements. For the past 15 years, I have helped over 9000 people, , just like the women in your audience reverse chronic and autoimmune symptoms. Most of them came to me dealing with debilitating symptoms, not having a clear plan from their doctor, and floundering to figure it out. And after using the principles I teach, they then had a plan to get better, they were no longer floundering, they had solid footing and they felt better than they had in years.
I ALSO NOTICED THAT PEOPLE WOULD ASK ME FOR ADVICE ON THEIR HEALTH PROBLEMS.
THEN THEY’D CALL ME BACK TELLING ME HOW MUCH BETTER THEY FELT AFTER TRYING WHAT I SUGGESTED.
Despite all this, I chose to study accounting and finance. It wasn’t until I moved to the US and became severely fatigued, with weight gain, hair loss, thyroid suppression (never found clinically), severe allergies, severe rashes, acne, and severe asthma, that I was forced to look at my own health seriously. To heal myself, I ended up going to nutrition and coaching school, studying emotional wellness and so much more.
I healed my body on so many levels but then ran into another health issue: severe eczema all from my forehead, neck, shoulders, arms, elbows and upper torso. After spending 2 years unsuccessfully trying to heal, Anthony William’s name landed in my lap. I called him, and he helped me heal issues I couldn’t figure out on my own. Anthony helped me understand that I have the powerful gift of medical intuition and this helped propel me further in my work.
Through working with Anthony as a client for 7 years, deeply studying the Medical Medium® Protocols, and applying them to my whole family, I became the first practitioner he endorsed. I continued to educate myself and develop my intuition and healing abilities and realized that the physical human form is actually less important than the energetic human body… the aura or light body, where we first existed before we came into form.
During this time, I also taught hypnobirthing to over 500 couples over 9 years and coached women to feel empowered navigating the health system through pre-pregnancy, to pregnancy, birth and beyond. A big part of this was helping my clients feel confident in using their intuition to keep themselves and their baby/ies healthy.
Throughout these years, I was also blessed to become a mom, and I now have the honor of raising my 3 beautiful girls. I’m proud to say my girls embrace eating healing foods, and I love helping other moms learn how to do this in my community and live Flourish Program.
Now, with over 14 years of experience supporting 9,000+ people around the world to heal, my focus is on working with women to heal themselves and their families. I use my own method – The Muneeza Method® – to help my clients tap into their intuition and body wisdom and find their path to healing
