HELPING FAMILIES IN TRANSITION

C26-36. Philippa Ross, PIP’s Pu™, a Penguin-Inspired Oracle Deck

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Philippa Ross. On air from September 8th.

When you do what you love, why would you stop just because you reach retirement age. I feel like life has just begun – again!

The tiny home I designed and built a couple of years ago has become a sanctuary and creative hub from where the inspiration to develop a penguin inspired oracle deck that has now come to fruition and was launched on Kickstarter on 28th August. 10% of the proceeds going to The Global Penguin Society. Writing the guidebook, or Map for the Soul that I call it was the easiest part, after a lot of research, the artwork was a whole new ball game grappling with Midjourney AI software – and then the Kickstarter campaign, was a mega project all by itself.

Launching the cards, timed with an interview with eminent 91 year old, Oceanographer, Dr Sylvia Earle inspired me to ramp up the emphasis on my own podcast to focus on Ecological Wellbeing in the run up to the end of the year because there are a couple of very significant celebrations that tie in with the theme.

The first being the 10th anniversary since the Ross Sea, Antarctica was granted marine protect on 28th October – the very place my GGG Grandfather, Sir James Clark Ross discovered in 1841 – the second is the 5th anniversary 5 years my Waste Not Want Not podcast – 1st December, deliberately launched on Antarctica Day. I’m aiming to get to 100 episodes and have 12 more guests lined up focusing on penguins, animal communication, conservation and Antarctica with some incredibly prestigious guests.

26-35. Choose Joy, It’s Lighter to Carry

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life, with Sara Troy. On air from September 1st

We don’t have to ignore life’s difficulties to embrace joy. Sometimes joy is exactly what gives us the strength to keep going.

We don’t have to ignore life’s difficulties to embrace joy. Joy is not pretending that everything is perfect; it is choosing to see that goodness still exists alongside the challenges. It can be found in laughter, music, nature, animals, friendship, gratitude, and the small moments that make our hearts smile.

Life will always bring responsibilities, uncertainties, and difficult days, but we do not have to carry their weight every moment. We are allowed to pause, breathe, play, laugh, and enjoy being alive. Sometimes joy is not the reward we receive after the struggle—it is the very strength that helps us move through it.

When we make room for joy, our energy shifts, our hearts open, and life feels a little lighter. Joy reminds us that even during challenging times, there is still beauty to notice, love to share, and something worth celebrating.

C26-35. Edward J. Zinkiewicz on Retirement

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Edward J. Zinkiewicz (Ed), on air from September 1st

Ed sees his job as helping retirees meet the surprises, face the challenges, and learn the skills needed to thrive. Retirement is not just about how many cruises retirees can take or golf games they can play; it is about defining a new vision of purpose, creating a new supportive network, and learning to become as physically able as possible. Lately, Ed has been helping older retirees deal with the realities of downsizing and giving up driving.

Ed Zinkiewicz’s retirement didn’t start out well. His initial plan was to join his wife in the kind of retirement success she had; they had to invent a new path when her plan fell apart. Ed brings a practical, story-driven approach to retirement. After years of working with people to solve problems as a software engineer, Ed now helps retirees and pre-retirees understand and meet the real-life challenges that can appear after work ends: loss of purpose, loneliness, uncertainty, fears of aging, and concerns about independence. Ed focuses on your finding a new purpose, building a network of friends to combat lonelinC26-Edward J. Zinkiewicz (Ed)ess, and tackling the fears of aging so you can have a retirement that is vibrant, active, and meaningful.

SH26-34. Elle Nagy & Woman Reimagined.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sisterhood of Common Sense Love with Sara Troy and her guest Elle Nagy. On air from August 25th

For most of my life, I believed that success came from working harder, achieving more, and proving my worth through what I accomplished. It wasn’t until I realised that true leadership begins within that everything changed. My work is about helping women reclaim authorship of their own lives through self-leadership;  not the kind that’s taught in boardrooms, but the kind that allows you to lead yourself with clarity, courage, integrity, and deep self-trust. I believe the quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our relationship with ourselves. When we consciously lead from within, our careers, relationships, health, and purpose naturally begin to reflect that inner alignment. My hope is that every woman leaves our conversation remembering that she already holds the wisdom she’s been searching for. 
Her work integrates psychology, identity, and nervous system regulation to help women create authentic, fulfilling lives.

C26-34. Katie Eberman “The Legacy You Choose”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Katie Eberman. On air from August 18th

After rebuilding her life following an unexpected separation, she discovered there is no single “right” path for women. Through entrepreneurship, storytelling, and resilience, she inspires women to create a life they love and a legacy that shows their children anything is possible.

After becoming a mom, I decided to become a stay-at-home mom. I kept having this pull to do more, and I started my then Virtual Assistant business with my 1 and 3 year old boys at home. In my own journey, I have had to navigate finding myself while navigating an unexpected separation from my partner of 15 years and rebuild a life that I am proud of. Through telling the stories of women entrepreneurs who inspire me, I have found courage to build a life that I love, so that I can show my kids that they can do anything that they put their mind to. My message for women is that there isn’t just one “right” path for them, and that they can choose the legacy that they leave behind.
