26-11. International Womens Decade

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy. On air from March 17th

I recently had the joy of being part of a beautiful two-day summit celebrating International Women’s Day with Deb Drummond, which I also see as a kind of Independence Day for women—a liberation from centuries of restraint, expectation, control, and limitation. After nearly 14 years of podcasting, I have interviewed countless women who have risen from pain, grief, loss, and unimaginable challenges, not allowing what happened to them to define them, but instead choosing to heal, grow, and become a light for others. That is what this era of womanhood is about: courage, compassion, common sense, collaboration, and the willingness to rise—not in competition, but in contribution.

Women are no longer willing to be dictated to, diminished, or owned; they are stepping into their own voice, their own wisdom, and their own power. We need this now more than ever, a world led with empathy, accountability, creativity, and care, where women support one another, teach the next generation differently, and help build communities rooted in love rather than control. Let International Women’s Day not be just one day, but a continued movement of women stepping up, standing tall, and shining as the powerful, beautiful force they truly are.

International Women’s Day may be marked on the calendar for a single day, but its spirit should live on every day. It is a call for women everywhere to step into their strength, trust their inner voice, and shine their light without apology. When women empower themselves and lift one another up, we help shape a future built not on greed or control, but on collaboration, compassion, and possibility for all.

“Together we can keep Mother Nature Vibrant and Alive.”

In 2013, I took a chance and wrote a book. Little did I know how many doors it would open or how many fascinating people I would meet along the way. Throughout my life’s journey, I have gathered little tidbits of wisdom here and there, and now in my seventies, my treasure chest is full of gems collected from experience and the people I’ve encountered.

Along the way, there have been many wonderful surprises—meeting kindred spirits who have shared their own insights and stories. Together, their gems and mine have created a rich collection of experiences: some funny, some sad, but all offering a unique point of view from each collaborator.

Come along with me through these stories and enjoy a virtual journey into the minds of today’s movers and shakers.

Upon returning to the United States, I used my GI Bill to attend the University of Illinois in Chicago, where I graduated with honors and was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. After graduation, I worked as an International Trade Specialist and later as a University Instructor. From there, I went on to start my own business in International Trade, eventually retiring when my health began to deteriorate.

During a period of being bedridden, I turned to writing books and articles, which led to an invitation from Sir Richard Branson to participate in conversations about the future of our planet. It was at that point that I began focusing on my advocacy: “Together we can keep Mother Nature Vibrant and Alive.” At present, I am putting together the SFFTG iNews 2026 issue and launching a new children’s book series.

If you were to visit me today, you would likely find Kevin—my husband of 50 years—cooking up a new recipe and maintaining his absolutely maddening focus on World War II, while I would be reading, painting, sewing, or tending to my indoor garden.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy. On air from March 10th

This past week was a rough one for me. I have lived with fibromyalgia for nearly 30 years, and although I have learned to recognize many of the signs and manage my energy as best I can, sometimes it still comes in out of nowhere and completely flattens me. When that happens, it feels as though my body is weighed down by iron bricks. Everything becomes hard—moving, thinking, focusing, even simply getting through the day. And no matter how much sleep I get, I can still wake up feeling as though my body is carrying an impossible heaviness.

Over the years, I have learned that fighting it only makes it worse. There are moments in life when the wisest thing we can do is give in, rest, hydrate, be still, and stop apologizing for what our body truly needs. So many people live with conditions, disabilities, exhaustion, pain, or invisible struggles that others cannot see or understand. The important thing is not to let those challenges become our identity, but to learn how to live with them, listen to them, and manage them with as much grace and compassion as we can. We need to know our triggers, respect our limits, and stop measuring ourselves against what others think we should be able to do.

That does not mean giving up on life. It means learning a new rhythm. It means focusing on what we can do, when we can do it, and allowing ourselves the space to redirect when needed. I may not always be able to do everything I want, and some weeks I may offer less than I had hoped, but I have learned not to beat myself up for that. Instead, I choose to honor where I am, do what I can with the energy I have, and trust that this too shall pass. Whatever challenge you are living with, may you give yourself permission to listen deeply, care for yourself kindly, and remember that your worth is never diminished by what you are going through.

C26-10. Mary Farias & Economy Creators

March 9, 2026March 16, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Mary Frias, on air from March 10th

I am an Economy Creator at heart, meaning that I have never fully embraced the traditional ways of earning money and having a “job.” Instead, I have followed my interests and desires and have found ways to earn money doing those things. For instance, my first job was as a gymnastics coach at 16 because I loved the sport, and I wanted to teach it to others. This was a focus for me for many years. When I wanted to combine my love of writing with the sport, I started my publishing company (IrisBlu Publishing) by writing and publishing a series of gymnastics books (called Gym Rats).

When my daughter was born, that evolved into opening a gymnastics center with my husband. As I coached and ran the programs, I felt the pull to do something even more. I was doing more than teaching gymnastics; I was teaching important life skills. But beyond that, I was teaching these kids how to believe in themselves. Because I wanted to be better so I could better serve them, I continuously looked to self-development resources to strengthen my coaching. I came across Bob Proctor, and in studying with him and his work, I realized that I had found the missing link: I found that although gymnastics was my path to get to this point, it wasn’t my destination. So in 2021, rather than rebuilding the gym after the pandemic, my husband and I decided to close it down and to go all-in as a personal and professional development consultant. Along with my new podcast and radio show, Economy Creators, I maintain my publishing company, and I use it as a way to further help my clients by publishing my own books, but also by publishing theirs, as well as spotlighting them and other economy creators on my show. I want to keep going to see where this journey takes me; I’m always listening to my intuition to guide me, following my desires.

The person behind the business is just as important as the person in the business. I believe in creating a YOU-shaped economy, one with each human being at its center. So a part of my economy, besides my businesses is that I’m a wife (husband, Marc) and mother of one daughter (Lola). I have adored horses since I was a child before I manifested my first pony, and now we own two horses now and spend every morning with them at the barn. We all eat a plant-based diet and have been for 12 years now.
