HELPING FAMILIES IN TRANSITION

AK25-38. A Moon in All Things? by Jennifer Comeau

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Jennifer Comeau, on air from September 23rd

Jennifer Elwell Comeau, author of the new book, A Moon in All Things? Perfect for readers enchanted by Irish folklore and stories that echo the timeless call of nature, A Moon in All Things reminds us that the true magic of life is waiting if we dare to reach for it.
Fans of Outlander’s Claire Fraser and The Frozen River’s Martha Ballard will love Comeau’s Morrigan Lane, who is fiercely devoted to discovering her healing gifts. 

In the wild heart of 1820s Ireland, young Morrigan Lane hears the sea’s call—and her ancestors’ ancient voices. Born with a connection to the mystical lands of her Celtic heritage, Morrigan is no ordinary girl. She dreams of adventure, breaking free from the restrictions of village life, and, above all, sailing beyond the distant horizon.
But Morrigan finds herself pulled into a mysterious journey when a haunting vision of the Irish sea god, Manannán mac Lir, beckons her into his shadowy world. Against the backdrop of Ireland’s rugged cliffs and ancient stone circles, she must navigate myth and reality, confronting age-old traditions, family secrets, and the fierce expectations placed upon her as a young woman.

A Moon in All Things is a spellbinding tale of Celtic mysticism, forbidden dreams, and the resilience of the human spirit. Fans of historical fantasy and coming-of-age adventures will be swept away by Morrigan’s quest for self-discovery in a world where land and sea, myth and truth, are deeply intertwined.

Jennifer Comeau is a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, singer-songwriter, and author-speaker. Her forthcoming debut novel, A Moon in All Things, is a woman’s quest to reclaim her ancestors’ old ways of healing and intuitive magic. She lives in Kennebunkport, Maine, where she works globally on restoring nature-human interconnection.

“Atmospheric and beguiling … Comeau uses the Irish setting … and tales of the Otherworld and Tuatha dé Danann to craft an ethereal, fablelike narrative. Morrigan, … friends, family, and fellow villagers, come alive … fitting perfectly into the picturesque village … Morrigan’s frustration with the imposed limits on her gender adds a fascinating dimension to the spooky tale..”—Kirkus Reviews

“Tears, sighs, fabulous!”—Geralyn White Dreyfous, Academy Award-winning film producer“Atmospheric, subtle, and captivating”—Foreword Reviews, Clarion

AK25-38. Constanze Hawkins, Natures Poetry

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

An Authors Kiss with Sara troy and her guest Constanze Hawkins, on air from September 23rd

Inspirations is a collection of photographs, each accompanied by a poem depicting Constanze Hawkins’ love of the natural world. The poems capture the thoughts and wonder inspired by the photos. Constanze took all of the photographs herself, mostly near her Perth home on the grounds of the University of Western Australia. Even the photo of the peacock was taken at UWA, which has a few peacocks and peahens roaming freely in its gardens.
Inspirations offers an interesting, and at times thought-provoking, read as Constanze’s reverence for nature shines through in both image and verse.

Constanze discusses a wide range of themes found in her work. She often reflects on the challenges of handling loss, weaving emotion and experience into verse. She can also explore how the length of a poem influences the way readers engage with it, and how nature—its beauty, complexity, and timelessness—continues to inspire her writing. With her background in fashion, Constanze brings a unique perspective on how that world has shaped her creative voice. She also pairs her poetry with photography, offering a visual dimension that deepens the reader’s experience. Another recurring theme in her work is the lament for the loss of childhood, which she captures with poignancy and thought-provoking insight.

Constanze Hawkins was born in Stuttgart Germany. Her family migrated to Melbourne Australia when she was four. Hawkins studied fashion at the Melbourne College of Textiles. She completed her studies after her marriage, and her young family’s move to Perth, Western Australia. She also earned a Graduate Certificate of Design from the Curtin University of Technology and worked in fashion as a pattern maker and grader until retirement. 

A recurring theme in the author’s first book, Eloise and Other Verses, is the inescapable human experience ‘Loss’. She became interested in loss when her father died, followed by the breakup of her marriage and then the death of her mother. Her experience of loss is that it is often dealt with alone — a theme that she explores in her poems. Inspirations is her second published book.

25-38. Sunny Side of the Street

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from September 22ND

We have all known the darkness, a place of fear, uncertainty, cold, and isolation. What truly matters is not that we entered it, but how we choose to emerge. Something always calls us toward the light, urging us to step forward. I believe in the “Sunny Side of the Street,” where those still lost in the shadows can see the light ahead, beckoning them out. And when they cross into that light, they find others waiting with love, support, wisdom, and tools to guide them on their journey forward.

I believe in Free Will. Whatever has caused us to step into the darkness, whether fear, pain, or the weight of circumstance, it is only through Free Will that we can choose to rise and leave it behind. No one can walk that path for us; the choice must come from within. Yet when we decide to step forward, to cross into the Sunny Side of the Street, we discover the light has always been waiting. There, we are not alone. We find the loving support, the wisdom, and the tools we need to continue our journey with strength, courage, and hope.

Part of our darkness is learning to see the light not as a judgment, but as an invitation—to leave the pain behind and step into healing. Yet the darkness itself has a purpose. It gives us space to reflect on how we arrived there, to recognize that it is not always our fault, and to understand that even this is a life lesson. In walking through it, we become more resilient, more insightful, more attuned to our inner voice, and stronger and more courageous than we ever believed possible.

It becomes our story to share, what we have learned, how it inspires others, and a celebration of how truly flawsome we are when we piece our shattered selves back together with self-love.

The danger lies in staying too long in the darkness of despair, blind to the light that beckons and unwilling to take the steps toward it. We cannot wait for someone to rescue us, for those on the Sunny Side of the Street are already waiting with open arms. They cannot walk the path for us, but the moment we choose to step forward, their care, wisdom, and love are there to receive us.

I was in the darkness for over eight years. Apathy was setting in, and I knew that if I didn’t step into the light, my soul would wither. At first, the light felt blinding, and the shadows seemed to chase me. But over time, I grew accustomed to its warmth and began to see the shadows not as threats, but as contours that gave the light its shape.

Now, when I enter the darkness, it is no longer with fear but with peace and reflection. Since I have discovered that I am the light I seek, and in that darkness, I can now see with clarity what I am truly meant to understand.

Step beyond the shadows, for the Sunny Side of the Street shines with love, wisdom, and strength, ready to walk beside you, but alas, it is you that must walk it.

YH 25-37. Charlotte Mah, Mind-Body Physiotherapist

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Charlotte Mah, on air from September 16th

I love supporting high-achieving women who feel stuck, burnt out, or overwhelmed to create the balance and fulfillment they’ve been craving in their lives. For years, I pushed through stress, people-pleasing, and self-doubt until I realized real change doesn’t come from working harder, it comes from working with your nervous system and unconscious mind. Now, through a unique blend of physiotherapy, nervous system regulation, and coaching, I guide women to rewire old patterns, heal from past experiences, and step into their full potential with clarity, confidence, and calm. My mission is to show that lasting transformation happens when we address both body and mind and that you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to create a life that you love.

QS25-37 Jeff Burningham’s “The Last Book Written by a Human”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Quantum Spirituality with Sara Troy and her guest Jeff Burningham, on air from September 16th

Jeff, a true Phenom, joins me for a thoughtful, energized, and wide-ranging conversation sparked by the idea of “The Last Book Written by a Human”—as AI transforms nearly every aspect of modern life, the question is no longer what’s next for machines, but what’s next for us.

Tech entrepreneur, investor, and former Utah gubernatorial candidate Jeff Burningham explores that urgent question in his bold new book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI (Forefront Books; August 19, 2025). A high-performing founder turned deep thinker, Jeff went from building billion-dollar companies to confronting burnout, loss, and the limits of chasing success—emerging with a new, human-centered lens on how we must evolve in the face of AI.

Jeff is now on a mission to help others move beyond relentless “doing” to rediscover the power of simply “being”—of choosing meaning, connection, and wisdom in a machine-paced world.

Jeff Burningham brings a deeply human perspective to the age of AI. As a father of four and a grandfather, he reflects on raising human beings in a digital world, teaching his kids to stay emotionally grounded and endlessly curious even while surrounded by smart technology. He argues that the real threat isn’t AI itself, but our tendency to lose touch with what makes us human—and asks whether we can evolve consciously rather than just technologically. After years of relentless achievement, Jeff hit a wall and discovered that stillness, presence, and intuition often outweigh the power of nonstop productivity. He also explores what AI teaches us about ourselves, reminding us that what we feed into machines—our values, priorities, and flaws—shapes the outcomes. And with candor, he shares his own journey from devout Mormon to boundary-pushing explorer, showing how faith, psychedelics, and rewriting the script of success can open new doors to transformation and truth.

My journey has taken me from boardrooms to political campaigns, and from the highs of entrepreneurial success to the depths of personal transformation. As a former Bishop leading a congregation of over 500 people, I bring the heart of a spiritual leader to every arena I enter—whether in business, politics, or family life as a devoted husband, father of four, and proud grandfather. My book, The Last Book Written by a Human, is a deeply personal exploration of the choices we face in the age of AI, as well as an invitation to embrace wisdom, connection, and real human evolution.

Jeff Burningham is an advocate for a new way forward in a world increasingly shaped by AI. Having built and invested in hundreds of tech companies, he brings firsthand insight into innovation and its impact on society. His run for Governor of Utah showcased his willingness to challenge the political status quo, while his explorations into consciousness, transformation, and the limits of human potential reveal a lifelong commitment to reimagining what it means to live, lead, and thrive in our evolving world.
