GV25-01. Robert D. Hicks, WOUNDED FOR LIFE:

January 13, 2025January 14, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Robert D. Hicks, on air from January 14th

Robert D. Hicks, PhD, former Director of the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia and author of WOUNDED FOR LIFE: Seven Union Veterans of the Civil War?

In this interview, he will talk about how this topic relates to those that are disabled today, including wounded veterans.

He also discusses the changing social circumstances of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and how that impacted the veterans. Wounded for Life is equal parts Civil War history, disability history and the history of the body. The collective experiences of the veterans profiled in the book show how they dealt with common expectations of manhood or masculine identity after the injuries.

Dr. Hicks will share insight into this era of history through humanizing the intimate lives of disabled veterans.

Sisterhood of Common Sense Love

January 5, 2025January 5, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

With everything happening in the world today, what we truly need is some good old-fashioned common sense and love in action. It’s about channeling the nurturing wisdom of Mama, who knows how to set things right and gets to work without hesitation.

The Sisterhood of Common Sense Love podcast features inspiring women—and the men who stand beside them—sharing the practical solutions they’re putting into place to help those suffering at the hands of power-hungry individuals. In their insecurity, these individuals harm humanity, often targeting women. This podcast shines a light on the strength, compassion, and resilience of those making a real difference.

In addition, these compassionate changemakers promise to help those who cannot afford their services in full. They donate some of their expertise to empower, uplift, and guide women toward a brighter, more illuminating path. This podcast shines a light on strength, resilience, and the transformative power of love in action.

I will bring you these remarkable women and supportive men who have made the choice to inspire, liberate, and collaborate as one humanity. Together, they are paving the way to freedom for all, showing us what’s possible when love, wisdom, and common sense lead the way.

20-25. My Commitment to You

January 5, 2025January 5, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sar’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 6th

I’m currently at my son’s place, looking after his cat and dog while he and his wonderful bride, Jess, enjoy their honeymoon. Though I don’t have my usual setup here, I felt compelled to share a New Year’s message for 2025. This year invites us to wake up, step up, and rise to the challenges before us. Whether it feels like a storm of adversity or a gentle nudge, it’s an opportunity to reflect, empower ourselves, and extend that empowerment to others. Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness, compassion, and action, lighting the way for a brighter, more united future. Let’s embrace this year with purpose and an open heart, nurturing the strength and love within ourselves to inspire the world around us.

A new pattern must emerge—a transformative shift to create a better future. This change begins with us: changing our practices, our environment, and our sense of community. It’s a journey that starts within.

As we step into 2025, amidst the storms and uncertainties around us, I urge you to find peace and center within yourself. Reflect on your role, your contribution, and what you can do to uplift others. But first and foremost, be there for yourself. Embrace your inner wisdom—your heart, soul, and spirit. Nurture the essence of who you are so that you can be a beacon for someone else.

I look forward to the year ahead, bringing you incredible interviews with voices that inspire and uplift. My new shows begin next week, and I am deeply immersed in creating Our Forgotten Seniors. This book will honor the contributions, struggles, and wisdom of seniors while addressing the changes needed to redefine what it means to age with dignity and purpose.

If you or someone you know would like to be part of this meaningful project—sharing stories, insights, and ideas for a better future for seniors—please reach out to me at selfdiscoverywisdom@gmail.com.

Together, let’s take a deep breath, envision the future, and step forward with purpose and unity.

Until next time,
Sara Troy
