C24-11. Stefani Seek & The Love Compass


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Seek, on air from March 12th

In today’s episode, we speak with best-selling author, business and life coach, Stefani Seek, about how we often fall into the trap of letting life happen to us, instead of designing our lives as deliberate creators.   Stefani shares how our upbringings, societal norms, lack of self-love and others’ expectations can lead us away from our authentic selves, and how it is never too late to pause, realign and become the creator of the life you really want.  Listen for practical guidance on how you can begin to redesign your life at any age and to receive inspiration about why you deserve to create a life you love.

My mission is to help people understand that they can be the creators of their own lives by loving themselves more.  I understood this concept to a degree growing up due to goals I would set and achieve, but I fell short in my romantic life when I didn’t love myself enough and I was too much of a people-pleaser to ask for what I wanted.  I got married twice and divorced twice by the age of 42, and those experiences made me question all of my life choices up to that point.  I realized that in my romantic relationships, and also in certain aspects of my career, I was letting life happen TO me rather than creating it FOR me.  I now use my life experiences to help people uncover what holds them back from living the life they desire and dream of, so that they can experience more abundance, more joy and more satisfaction.

Stefani spent 25 years in corporate America as an executive sales leader for esteemed global companies including Salesforce and Gartner.  Despite career success, Stefani found herself facing her second divorce by the age of 40 while also a busy mom to three daughters, which led her to a deep journey into what makes relationships stick for the long-term or fade away.  During this discovery, she became the author of the category best-selling book The Love Compass: A Girl’s Guide to Finding Authentic Love (Amazon, Audible).  She also founded Seek Love, LLC, to provide life and career coaching to individuals, as well as sales coaching and workshops for B2B corporations under the company name of Love the Sell.  Stefani is an in-demand public speaker, inspiring audiences to uncover new ways of creating the abundance, careers, and relationships they seek.   Stefani leverages her sales training and her own experiences of heartbreak, divorce, dating, finding new love & corporate-to-entrepreneur transitions to help everyone from executives to stay-at-home mothers up-level the areas of life in which they want to find more joy and fulfillment.  Stefani believes that thoughts become things, and that when we change our thought patterns, we can change our lives.

AK24-11.The Restoration of Ami by Sam Hawksmoor


Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Sam Hawksmoor, on air from March 12th

Here we have Sam’s latest book on a child who ran away from a cult, abandoned by her mother, a NASA retired man who lost his wife and and is seeking parts for his car, and a dog who binds them together. Sam have done it again and brought us mystery, underling events and a journey into re-coving from loss and embracing redirections.

You never know what is around the corner, until you stop for a pee.

Remy has one last obsession – to complete the restoration of his ’57 Studebaker Golden Hawk. He’s planned a road trip to Montreal to find a part he desperately needs. It’s a long way from Florida, his Chevy truck is almost as old as he is. There are doubts that he’ll be able to make the drive, doubts about his bladder, his heart, but he’s determined.
At the very first urgent stop in the pouring rain, a dog appears from nowhere and jumps into his truck, quickly followed by a drenched teen. Scared, the girl urgently needs a ride. Ami has escaped from a religious cult desperate to find her mother who abandoned her to the cult when she was just five.
One old man, a desperate teenage girl and Stan the dog are on a road trip into MAGA America. Montreal seems to get further away with each mile they travel.

Sam says “Ever since I was a child, I’ve found myself lost in the world of words and stories. I am Sam Hawksmoor, and writing isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. It’s like I discovered my calling before I even knew what a calling was. Each blank page was a canvas for my imagination, a gateway to unknown worlds and uncharted territories.

As I grew, so did my stories. They blossomed from simple tales spun in the backyard to intricate narratives filled with mystery and adventure. The characters I create, they’re more than just figments of imagination; they’re part of me, living and breathing through each line I write.

I take pride in crafting stories that are not just exciting but illuminating. My goal? To transport you, my reader, to places you’ve never imagined. Each page you turn is a step into a new adventure, a mystery unfolding, a journey through the crevices of my mind.

Writing, for me, is an endless exploration. The thrill of creating worlds, the joy of weaving plots, the satisfaction of bringing characters to life – these are the things that fuel my passion. Each story I pen is a piece of my soul, a glimpse into the depths of my imagination.

As you journey through my books, I hope you find the same excitement and wonder that I do in creating them. Let’s unravel mysteries, embark on adventures, and explore the unknown together. This is my world, a realm of imagination and endless possibilities, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.”


‘It’s a terrific story with engaging, interesting charactersWhat a wonderful dog!’
Walli Leff – New York

From the author of ‘We Feel Your Pain’ and ‘The Book of Ashes’ – the Delaney & Asha mysteries.

YH24-11. Dr. Timothy Teel & Our Gut Health


Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Dr. Timothy (Tim) Teel, on air from March 12th

Dr Teel is a retired ear, nose and throat surgeon now turned author, coach and course creator.  During the last 4 years of his practice, he found more powerful medicine in the food we eat and the thoughts we think and how they affect our health in profound ways.  When standard medical treatment failed to adequately address his “globus” patients’ health concerns, he started looking at the food they were eating and found multiple diet triggers that were the true cause of the complaints.  When these offending foods were removed, many of their other health complaints resolved…completely.  When his own health started to fail, he applied his own brand of medicine and had dramatic results that brought other, even more profound benefits.  He now teaches how to enjoy the benefits of feeding our caveman bodies the way they were created to function.

Our bodies are physically responsive to our emotional experience of life.  And, just like a computer program, there is an emotional program that runs in each of us.  The “default” program is fear-based and designed to help us survive and it serves us faithfully.  There is an infinite number of other programming possibilities including love, hope, motivation, inspiration, peace, serenity that we can experience if that is what we choose.  Waking up to this possibility often requires a “life-quake” like a job loss, death of a loved one….or a diagnosis that threatens our very existence.  My experience with a 35-year survivor of recurrent esophageal cancer and his protocol for survival clearly demonstrated to me how focused, creative and organized emotional energy can affect a body.  However, if we fail to continuously choose to experience life as we would like, the survival-level programming will take over as a default and we continue down the path of automaticity.  I believe, based on observation, lab evidence and intuition that this program runs in our DNA, can be passed to subsequent generations and is re-writable.  This philosophy flies in the face of the conventional narrative that 97% of DNA is “junk” because the people who write medical textbooks have deemed it so.  If we are to move forward with our understanding of these bodies and our lives, we MUST challenge convention and consider alternatives, experiment with them and change our paradigm when a new philosophy demonstrates progress.   My philosophy places the power of controlling our emotional response to life and subsequently exerting control over our physical bodies in the control of us individually.  It is my mission to teach as many people as I can the specific steps of how to tactically use emotion and imagination to affect our physical health in ways we haven’t even considered.

Dr. Teel has spent his entire adult life fascinated with human development, personal development and the connections between food, emotion and health.  After completing his medical training, he returned to Oklahoma where he practiced for 7 years.  His efforts to establish patient safety and teach patients how to heal their bodies left him informally banned from practicing medicine in Oklahoma.  He retired from medicine while living in Texas and began his writing and coaching career teaching the principles of using diet and lifestyle management to create transformative healing of both acute and chronic illness.

MH24-11. Kate King, Center & Ground Yourself


Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Kat King, on air from March 12th

True North — How to Center and Ground Yourself Amid Chaos

This segment is about what we can do to align our value systems with our daily lives.  

The Big Idea: Psychological trauma, mental illness, physical and emotional pain, and disembodied value systems are at an all-time high. We have become guided by who we think we are supposed to be rather than who we actually are. Yet, like the North Star whose fixed position in the night sky provides a compass by which to navigate, we humans possess an inner True North that steers us toward our essential selves. It’s from that fixed home within our Selves that we allow our radiance to emanate. 

The So-What: Discovering our core values and the very essence within each us is the way to nurture the brilliant light that’s our lifeforce. As simple as it may seem in theory, however, a great deal of self-reflection and inner examination is required to orient our lives with a True North perspective. But such nuanced, tricky alignment is greatly aided through practices that include anchoring (what tethers us to our authentic Self), value exploration (prioritizing values that are closest to our hearts), and intentionality (being awake and conscious of our lives instead of being on autopilot).

Key Messages: King blends scientific research-based principles with practicality to get to the heart of questions and issues that stand in the way of becoming our authentic selves. She addresses:

  • How to intentionally shape your worldview into a reality that provides generativity, fulfillment, and peace  
  • How to practice self-forgiveness and come to love the parts inside that hurt 
  • How to identify and heal unhealthy generational patterns and end toxic family dynamics 
  • How to live with robust integrity by discerning between experiences and relationships that either fulfill you or detract from your job
