Sara’s View of Life PAST SHOWS

24-39. Engage not Pitch

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’ View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from September 24th

“Do you remember when websites were cluttered with Flash animations, constantly blinking and flashing in your face? It was not only distracting but also incredibly off-putting for anyone genuinely interested in learning about a company. Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves facing a similar annoyance—this time on social media.

The incessant pitches flooding our texts, messengers, and feeds have become just as irritating. Where is the meaningful engagement? Where is the effort to build a genuine relationship? Instead of fostering a dialogue, many have resorted to broadcasting messages without taking the time to understand what their audience truly needs. Real connection comes from conversation, not one-way pitches.”

“I can’t, nor do I want to, buy from everyone. If you truly want to be inviting, start by engaging. Open a conversation and take the time to understand if what you offer is even a good fit for the other person. It’s about connection, not just making a sale. By understanding each other’s needs, you can find out if there’s a genuine match rather than just another transaction.”

“I share my shows across social media as an open invitation—listen if you feel inclined. I have no desire to ram it down anyone’s throat. It’s about offering something of value, not forcing it upon people.”

“It’s about building trust, making people feel heard, and showing them that you genuinely care. They need to know they’re not just another dollar sign to you. True connection comes from understanding and valuing each individual, not just pushing a product or agenda.”

“Take the time to be illuminating, engaging, and inviting. When you do this, people will naturally want to connect with you and discover what you have to offer. It’s about creating a space where curiosity and interest can grow organically.”

“Sales will naturally come from those who feel a genuine connection with you and trust that you have their best interests at heart. It’s not just about the product—it’s about building a relationship founded on trust and mutual respect.”

“The best kind of business comes from referrals—when people have had such a positive experience with you that they can’t help but share it with others. That kind of word-of-mouth is built on trust, satisfaction, and genuine connection.”

“So, slow down. Take the time to understand who you need to connect with and truly engage with them. Real relationships aren’t rushed; they are built through genuine interest and meaningful interaction.”

24-38. Seasons of Change

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from September 16th

Seasonal changes mirror the cycles in our lives. Spring represents new beginnings, fresh starts, and growth—a time when our energy is high, and we plant seeds for future dreams. Summer brings vibrancy and activity, a period to nurture our passions, bask in the sun, and embrace the fullness of life. Autumn is a time of harvest, reflection, and letting go. It invites us to gather the lessons we’ve learned and release what no longer serves us. Winter brings stillness, introspection, and rest. It’s a time to pause, recharge, and prepare for the renewal that follows.

Fall is a season of transformation and preparation, a time when nature shows us the beauty of change. As the air cools and leaves turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold, we’re reminded that change can be stunning and necessary. It’s a perfect moment to start new chapters in our lives, take on fresh projects, and plan for the winter ahead.

In this season, we gather the wisdom of what we’ve experienced, decide what to carry forward, and what to release, much like the trees shedding their leaves. Fall encourages us to envision what seeds we’ll plant when spring arrives, setting the groundwork for future growth. It’s a time of action and reflection, balancing the excitement of new beginnings with the wisdom of past experiences.

The cooling weather and the vibrant colors of nature invite us to be present, to enjoy the simple beauty around us, and to prepare thoughtfully for the seasons to come. In this way, fall becomes not just a season, but a metaphor for embracing life’s transitions with intention and grace.

Each season brings its own wisdom, guiding us through life’s journey, reminding us to embrace change, cherish each moment, and trust in the natural flow of growth, rest, and renewal.

24-34. Ambition meets Reality

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 20th

I see all sorts of possibilities —my mind is always brimming with visions of what can be. It’s a blessing and a curse because when I see something, I immediately want to make it happen. But the truth is, the doing part isn’t where my strength lies. I’m not the builder; I’m the visionary. I need the builders beside me to bring these ideas to life, but that collaboration doesn’t always materialize as easily as the vision does.

Recently, I discovered that I have dyslexia and A.D.A.D., which explains so much about why I struggle to put things together in the right order. No matter how hard I try, my mind just isn’t wired for the step-by-step process of building. This realization has reinforced the importance of collaboration and having a team—a team of gifted, skilled people who can take that vision and turn it into reality.

I often say, “Discover your instrument, learn to play it well, find your groove, and then join the orchestra where you can truly extend your gift.” Each of us has a unique gift, and when we come together, we create something harmonious and powerful that transcends any single voice. We should never underestimate our gifts, no matter how small they seem, because each one plays an essential role in the grand symphony of life.

As a visionary, I see the possibilities and feel the essence of the vision. I invite others to see it too, to participate without ego or fear. When ego enters the picture, it stifles creativity and blocks those with true gifts. A leader is always necessary, like a conductor, to guide the process. Without that guidance, it would be a chaotic free-for-all that never amounts to anything.

As I look ahead to the next venture, I know that it has to be a cohesive collaboration for it to succeed. Everyone involved must play their part with truth, zeal, and harmony. Only then can we bring the vision to life in the way it deserves.

Stay tuned, for the next venture will be put together in September, listen to the show to know what.

24-33. Wedding Delight

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 12th

“On August 9th, my son Tyler married his love, Jessica. The venue was on top of Grouse Mountain in Vancouver, BC, offering spectacular views. It was a hot day, over 32 degrees (baking heat for me), but perfect for an indoor-outdoor wedding.

My son broke his ankle 7 weeks before the wedding and had to hobble down the aisle on crutches, but nothing was going to stop this day. I escorted him to the aisle, where his bride was escorted by her father. Proud moments for both of us.

My oldest daughter initiated the wedding while trying to hold back her tears, and she did a beautiful job. My youngest daughter and her husband were the masters of ceremonies, playing off each other with humor and great jokes. When it came time for my daughter Tasha to make a speech, she had us all in tears. I was supposed to follow her with a mushy speech, but instead, I became the love reminder, referring to the importance of tending to one’s garden of love.

The food was wonderful, though we were too hot and busy to really eat. After the speeches, it was cake-cutting time, and then off to the dance floor. After the bride and father dance, I got to dance with my son—or should I say, around him—while he balanced on crutches.

I had a hell of a time finding a dress for the occasion, finally getting one just 10 days before the wedding. I’m not too formal, so finding something that felt free and ‘me’ was harder than expected. In the end, there were about three of us who wore very bright colors, adding a vibrant touch to the celebration.”

We danced under a new moon till 1 am when we took the last gondola down the mountain.

It is such a joy to see my son so happy and to continue his journey with his wife and her daughter Mila. I wish then rooted and blossoming love and may they grow old together and even deeper in love.

24-32. Love the Feeling

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

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

With my son’s wedding coming up, love is truly in the air. It’s so exciting to witness two people in love joining together. Marriage is the solidifying of love, a testament to the abundance of love needed to take that step.

This occasion reminds me of the love we once knew, and, if we’re fortunate, the love we still have. I do miss the love of a partner, but I don’t rely on it to define or comfort me. My love has grown into a companionship with myself. When we embrace self-love, even if others don’t see it, it becomes a source of comfort. It means accepting ourselves for who we are, what we are, and why we do what we do. If others still don’t recognize it, that’s not on us.

When you come from a place of love, everything gains more meaning and purpose. Love is the generator; the more you love yourself, others, life, and your purpose, the more love you generate. It just keeps growing.

So find yourself with a loving approach, no more chastising, but lovingly embrace the gift YOU ARE, not what others want you to be. Love will make your world go round, when you love to live, love to see the possibilities, and love each other even in disagreements, for love it the keep to living a joyous life.
