After a life-altering fall down a mountain and a five-year healing journey, I emerged with a radically expanded understanding of human potential—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Blending two decades as a senior finance executive with deep work in overall wellness, emotional management, and energy mastery, I now guide high performers to awaken their quantum potential and live from their highest frequency.

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Deb Miller, on air from July 8th
I wrote Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness because I lived it, and I know I’m not alone. Too many women believe society’s script that says happiness depends on finding Prince Charming and checking all the boxes. I believed that, too, in the beginning. My journey of self-discovery began with a bold choice to rewrite the story I’d been given. From Midwest housewife to global marketing exec to professor and author, I’ve learned that happily ever after isn’t handed to you—it’s built, one brave decision at a time.
I’m here to remind women that it’s never too late to take the reins, ditch the outdated fairy tale, and create a life rooted in their unique definition of joy. This conversation is for anyone who’s ready to rewrite their happily ever after and be their own hero.
Deb Miller is the author of Forget the Fairy Tale & Find Your Happiness, a memoir that explores her personal journey toward self-reliance and strength, using the evolution of Disney princesses as a metaphor for her own transformation.
A passionate advocate for personal empowerment, Deb’s writing encourages readers to question societal expectations and discover their own path to happiness.
Having visited nearly 50 countries as a corporate executive, she is now on a mission to visit all of our national parks. A part-time marketing professor, Dr. Miller lives in Redmond, Washington, and can be found outside landscaping, walking her energetic Auggie, or hanging out with her grandchildren.

I wrote this article back in 2017, and rereading it now, its meaning resonates even more deeply. I’m living on my island of peace, love, and purpose, and I invite others to step into this space, to feel what I’m speaking of, and ignite their own heart and soul.
I was born in this place of tranquillity. I flew here on gentle winds, bathed in her soft, embracing waters, basked in her sun, and wandered her mysteries. She has always been my home, my resting place, my protection, my nourishment, and my warmth.
I have finally found the island—the place where we seek our spirit, our purpose, our truth. What I didn’t realize during my journey to fit in, to search, to find, was that I had been on this island all along. It is my home, my sanctuary, my peace. It’s where I find harmony and, above all, where I speak my truth.
I am never alone here. Others dwell on this island too, souls who know peace and purpose. Together, we live in this universe paradise, preparing for those yet to come. We are the elders—the ones who greet you at the entrance. You don’t need to arrive with knowledge, but you must come in truth, with an open heart and a willingness to learn. Entry requires a free spirit, wonderment, and an intent to pass on what you discover.
Unlike the TV show The Island, we’re not here to contain evil but to be a beacon of enlightenment and inspiration. This is a place of initiation—a gateway to inner truth, a sanctuary where you uncover your calling and embrace your knowingness.
What is knowingness? It is the unwavering truth that lives within, unshaken and uncorrupted. When you arrive at this place, knowledge flows without validation—it simply is. It’s powerful, but often lonely among those who can’t see or don’t wish to. Yet in this certainty, we find the conviction that needs no defence.
I flew freely as a child and soared as a young woman. My learning has never followed convention; I am a Now learner. My wisdom comes not from books but from deep feeling—from knowing what I need in the present moment.
Space—the final frontier—is also the beginning and everything in between. When I’m in flight, I connect to the universe at a molecular level. I am one piece of the all, always existing somewhere, doing something, even in stillness. We exist in a consciousness of unconsciousness. I live in presence and can only speak from the now. Cross-examination pulls me from it, I falter, because now is all I am.
I’ve struggled with embodiment—my spirit feels at home in consciousness, while the demands of the body distract and confuse. But I’ve learned to find balance, peace, and alignment between soul, spirit, and body. It requires conscious, earthly effort—but it’s worth it.
On this island, I am whole. I am one. Melded with my humanity, I now accept that I am an elder in body as well as spirit. It’s time to take my teachings to a new level and embrace the wisdom of this stage of life.
I love the youthful spirit—their dance with possibility, their thirst for truth, and their fearless curiosity. I rejoice in their flight. But as an elder, my role isn’t to journey beside them—it’s to steady the ground beneath their feet, offer perspective, and guide with grace as they pick up passengers on their own path.
I love being the elder. With age aligned to wisdom, I can simply be—a lighthouse, a source of balance, a gentle guide. The future belongs to them, and we must guide them wisely. As it was in the beginning, so it will be in the end, our legacy lives on through those who grow wiser with time.
So come to the island. Breathe in its knowledge, embrace its wisdom, and take it with you. Some come merely to look, not yet ready to walk the path—but their time will come, whether in this life or lifetimes ahead. We can only help those who are ready, guide those who seek passage, and offer light to those who choose to walk forward.
If we do our part well, they’ll find their spirit, embrace their purpose, and become beacons for others. We can show them the water, but they must choose to drink. The journey is theirs alone.
The most powerful force in the universe is knowingness—a truth that brings peace, love, and unity. Life is a feeling guided by touch, sound, and insight. When our senses align, we enter that sacred space of universal truth.
Take your head out of it. Listen with your eyes. Feel with your heart. Speak from your soul.
Your mind is the processor, but your soul is the source, your connection to the universe. Be open. Be still. Trust. You will receive what you’re ready to know. Store the rest for later. The universe speaks, will you hear it?
To the young spirits: I am here, waiting for you. Excited to feel your light and guide you into your greatness. You are the dance of the future, the harmony of what’s to come.

Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest David Brown, on air from July 1st
Awarded Medals By Queen Elizabeth II For His 40 Years In The British Army, A Retired Major Pens A Powerful War Novel Set In 1970s Northern Ireland
David Brown, a lifelong military man for the British Army, who received medals from Queen Elizabeth II for his bravery throughout a successful four-decade military career, has not had to fire a shot in many years. But all of the bloody battles fought in his lifetime live in his head, heart, and soul. He brings to life what it really felt like to fight the enemy, even when winning felt like losing. “There’s a heavy price to pay for peace on all sides of a conflict,” says Brown.
Brown has three novels out, each inspired by his military experiences that began for him at the tender age of 15. He left a household in poverty and dropped out of school to become a soldier. From 1969 to 1976, he witnessed and participated in fighting for Great Britain against the IRA uprising (or freedom fighters?) in Northern Ireland.
At just 15, he left home to join the British Army, driven by a deep sense of duty and a desire for purposes beyond the life he knew. Over a remarkable 40-year military career, he fought in numerous battles across the globe, witnessing both the chaos and camaraderie that only war can forge. His service was recognized by Queen Elizabeth II herself, who awarded him medals that now serve as quiet reminders of sacrifice and honor. The brutal reality of war left a lasting impression, compelling him to write three novels—fictionalized accounts drawn from the truth of his battlefield experiences. He speaks candidly about the visceral intensity of hand-to-hand combat, and the haunting paradox of feeling a deep, private respect for the very enemy he was trained to destroy. After retiring from the military, life shifted once again when he faced the profound loss of his wife to kidney failure. It was this heartbreak that prompted him to start anew, redefining purpose in a life now lived beyond the battlefield.
“Some may label me a killer, and they’d be right,” says Brown. Others would say I was a hero, and they would be right. But there will always be mixed feelings in reflecting back on a soldier’s scorecard. We can pray for peace and forgiveness – all while pulling the trigger to remove a life from this world — and the soldier must feel he did what had to be done while still questioning why he was there at all.”
David Brown has authored three novels, all military fiction inspired by decades of military service for England. His books are The Wolves of the Radfan, Hard Rain, and The Darkness. He served in the British Army for 40 years, dropping out of school to join the military at the age of 15. He left The St. George’s School in Cambridge and the impoverished neighbourhood dubbed The Kite. His household was so poor that he wore his sister’s hand-me-downs, his home lacked heating and hot water, and the bathroom was located outside of the gas-lit house. Brown was awarded a BEM (British Empire Medal military division) and the MBE (Member of the British Empire medal military division) from Queen Elizabeth II. Between 1969 and 1976, he spent a good deal of time in Northern Ireland, serving with a top infantry regiment as both a platoon sergeant and later as a platoon commander. Brown left the infantry for the elite Army Physical Training Corp and received a commission, eventually reaching the rank of Major. He has traveled the world, living in over a dozen countries spanning four continents, including Hong Kong, Kenya, Germany, Canada, Yemen, Morocco, Libya, Gibraltar, Norway, Cyprus, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and numerous parts of England. After leaving the military, he became a professional mountaineering instructor in Spain. He has climbed the Himalaya Mountains, the Andes Mountains, the European Alps, and other great heights. Brown’s first wife died of kidney failure, but he found his faith in God again and remarried. Now 78 years old, he is retired and plays golf and produces a quarterly magazine called The Rock, for The Costa Blanca Anglican Chaplaincy.
