23-23. Celebrating 10 Years of my Podcast Network.


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

Hello, I’m Sara Troy, the host of Self Discovery Wisdom. Today, I’m taking a moment to reflect on a journey that has spanned over a decade. Yes, it’s been 10 years since I started my own network, after a year of podcasting else where. This journey, unbeknownst to me at the start, has become the most meaningful and rewarding endeavor of my life.

Looking back on my 11 years in this field, I’m filled with profound gratitude. I’ve had the privilege of interviewing extraordinary individuals who’ve shared their heart-wrenching and inspiring stories of courage, resilience, strength, and self-discovery. These stories have not only illuminated the inherent magnificence of the human race but have also deepened my own self-awareness.

This journey has expanded my understanding of humanity and instilled in me the belief that we all possess the capacity for greatness, for heart, spirit, soul, and an open mind, if we choose to embrace it. The individuals I’ve had the honor of interviewing have shared their experiences with honesty, openness, and heartfelt wisdom, serving as beacons of inspiration and propelling us forward on our individual paths of self-discovery.

To all the listeners who’ve tuned in with the intention to learn and apply these teachings, I extend my deepest gratitude. Your engagement, support, and willingness to share and care have created a vibrant community that encourages us to continue bringing the enrichment wisdom that we do week after week.

As I look ahead to the future, I’m filled with excitement and a deep sense of purpose. My commitment to uplifting and enriching lives through podcasting remains unwavering. I’m eager to continue on this journey of growth, discovery, and meaningful connections, for we all gain when we rise up to a higher vibration.

The past 11 years have been filled with extraordinary interviews. The people I’ve spoken with have been willing to share their life journeys, their struggles, and their discoveries. They’ve shared their passions and convictions, and their commitment to helping others. These stories have been extraordinary, and I’m honored to have been able to share them with you.

As I embark on my 10th year running my own network, expanding into Pod-Books, I’m looking forward to bringing more collaborations with more people. I’m eager to work with others, combining our skills and expertise to create a harmonious orchestra of wisdom.

I’m only 68. Can I go to 78? Can I go to 88? I’m going to try. As long as I can still hear, see, and do, I hope to keep doing this until the end of my days. Sharing the wisdom is truly illuminating, and I hope that each podcast brings something new to your life.

Thank you for all the 10 years. I’m immensely grateful to all those who have generously contributed to our endeavors through donations. Your support is instrumental in enabling us to bring forth this valuable knowledge and create a platform for sharing wisdom.

As I look to the future, I’m filled with excitement and a deep sense of purpose. I’m committed to uplifting and enriching lives through my podcasting. Here’s to the next decade of Self Discovery Wisdom, and to all the wisdom and inspiration it will bring.

Here is to the next ten years…………

23-22. Seen, Heard, and Respected


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from May 30th

Are you seen, heard, and respected? And are you receiving what you’re worth in life and being compensated accordingly;? Are you being valued for your contribution? Do you feel worthy of yourself?

We all want to be seen, heard, respected for who we are and what we contribute in life; but it is NOT up to others to place that value on us, but for us to do it for ourselves? We have no control on what people think about us, all we can do is put our best foot forward authentically, and represent ourselves in our own light.

Trying to live by someone else’s expectations is a killer of your spirit, heart, and soul, so know you, care for you, be that light in your own life, stand tall in your own commitments, hear yourself, see yourself for who you really are from the inside out, and not what you WANT people to think of you.

People, nature, the divine wisdom, can guide us along the way to our Self Discovery, but in the end, it is whom we have become that is up to us, no one else, and no one else’s business. You are not here to just please other people while losing yourself; you are here to discover why you are here, to do what, to serve whom and how and with what your gift is. That is your path, and while others can help, prod you and support you, it is still your life’s journey to take.

HOW YOU VALUE YOURSELF, HOW YOU RESPECT YOURSELF AND HOW YOU LOVE YOURSELF, IS WHAT OTHERS SEE IN YOU. SO BE YOUR OWN LIGHT AND SHINE BRIGHT ON OTHERS PATHS, SO THEY MAY SEE THEIR WAY ON THEIR OWN SELF DISCOVERY BECUASE YOU ARE THE INSPIRATION THAT THEY SEEK, JUST LIKE YOUR SOUGHT.

23-21. Trevor and Jay’s reflection of ME.


SARA’S VIEW OF LIFE with Sara Troy, on air May 23rd

Trevor Noah and Jay Shetty’s talk really spoke to me on their podcasts together; so much of what they say is speaking to me. Being grateful for our resilience to overcome what strife that happens to us and not being grateful for the experience itself.

Trevor is why I watched The DAILY SHOW, it was not just the humour, it was also those profound moments and perspectives that I found so aligning and spoke to the depths of society and our consciousness. He speaks to being an idiot, just a person who asks questions, and is willing to learn, I so relate. I know I am not educated, I speak a lot to knowingness, knowing what I need to know when I need to know it, but always be intrigued and have a willingness to understand a different point of view.

When you are an outsider, which I am also, I need to know why you see, what you feel, or do what you do, so I can understand. Trevor and Jay both are feeling different from others in what ever way, and understand why people can’t always see them. .

THEY SPEAK OF LOSING OURSELVES, the fitting in, the changing for approval, the conditioning of society institutions like religion, society’s dictations, it is easy to lose yourself. Trevor talks about home being the familiar, not the premises the building, but what feels familiar. Trevor is a number 8 which is the achiever and measures life by the goals it reaches. He has a good business sense, a powerful presence, and a strong drive for success. The 8 is also a symbol of balance — you can see it in its symmetrical shape. For every blessing it receives, it puts one back out to the universe. When things are balanced, they feel stable, controlled, and supported, which is the most productive environment for the 8 to work in. I am also an 8, life path, I relate.

Jay purpose is to help others find their purpose. His numerology is a 22 a divine enlightener, which explains why he chose to be a Monk, and now helping others to become who they really are. These profound energies represent the three phases of creation: envisioning, building, and sharing. 22 is the architect, to the world. Master Numbers take a long time for a person to master, so this potential often isn’t reached until later in life. The more of these numbers a person has, the more burdened they may feel. Patience and perseverance are required, but the reward will be so, so worth it.

Trevor speaks to feeling comfortable in chaos, I relate, as hard as I try in having order, chaos is where I end up, there I can make sense out of the chaos.

Trevor is friendly, consistent ,mercurial, ( volatile, capricious, temperamental, excitable, fickle, changeable) I so relate to this, we are perceived as stubborn, but we are mindful, never assume, and we like to seed the opportunities for others. The mind is not everything, soul, spirit, heart connection brings focus. Honour the question with a thoughtful answer.

They speak to the parts of us, is for us, or a disconnect or us. Friendship is the only thing that is your choice, everything else is circumstance. They speak of loneliness, even though they are always around people, but feel so alone; this speaks to be in such a big way, loneliness even in a crowd, has always be a part of me, only when I am personally engaged do I feel connected, but with the wrong crowd utter loneliness. As I grow in my podcasting, I find myself, wanting to retreat from the crowd, and want to less and less be out there with a group or crowd of people, much like Trevor, as even depression can seep in if one is not careful.

Feeling safe in life, is in choosing the people around you that know your vibe, that truly get the real you. There are so many who see you for how your make them feel, but not necessary know you and your many layers. We all have roles we adopt, some are instinctual to us, some conditional, I took on the role of being a people pleaser, the need serve to receive approval, the discovery of self is to know is the role really you intricacy because if not, we become trapped in the expectation role.

Trevor is the most successful comedian in Africa and was the host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central. He has written, produced, and starred in 11 comedy specials, including his most recent, “Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia,” which launched in November 2018 on Netflix. He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood” which I loved. Trevor opens the conversation by sharing what it was like growing up, how he sees the rest of the world, and why it felt like it was okay growing up the way he did.

He says if we can see and feel what the least of us feel, it would make us all a lot more appreciative and reflective on what each other really needs.

23-20. Authenticity & Life Experience.


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from May 9th

I have just listened to Jay Shetty and Gabor Maté, and it really spoke to me from speaking on Trauma and every day life experience and being authentic. ( The ROOT CAUSE Of Trauma & Why You FEEL LOST In Life | Dr. Gabor Maté & Jay Shetty)

We look at trauma and believe we are victims of it; maybe it was just an unpleasant experience that we need to learn from rather than let it pull us down into despair. Of course, some are genuinely traumatized by something catastrophic in their lives, but we also go through ups and downs in the life of good and bad experiences is life in itself that are here to teach us, strengthen us, and show us are courage and abilities.

How can we be authentic in who we are? How can we know who we are when we have let life dictate who we should be, going in and allowing ourselves to discover who we are, being who we are from the inside out, is where we will find that authenticity.

I have lived my life trying to fit in, trying to be what others expected me to be, only to let them down and betray myself in the process. I have after a life time stopped being what others want from me and just being my authentic self, who I am in all my flawsomeness.

I suffer from sadness; it is what I feel when I hear the pain, feel the disconnect, and feel pulled to fix something in a world that needs to take ownership of their own pain and fix it for themselves. That is the healing, the growth, the discovery of self, and becoming one’s true authentic self.

Who you are, why you are here, what your gift is, how you use it, and whom you use it for, is why we are here; to serve life with tour particular gift of who we are in all our authentic flawsomeness.

23-19. Hodge Podge of Info.


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from May 9th

I have been away looking after my 2-year-old Grandson while my daughter gave birth to another Grandson. Things went wrong, and during the c-section, the little one had his femur broken. On top of that, because he has Down syndrome, there was concern about his oxygen levels. He was in ICU for nine days while they had to discover how to feed him, as he has a full-bodied brace that holds his leg in a position for the femur to heal, but this means he can’t be bathed or held in a cradled position and we have to be so careful how we hold him.

So you can imagine, it has had its level of stress. I oversaw my little RORO, my 25-month-old grandson. We went to the hospital daily to see Mama, Papa, and his baby brother, who he has taken to well. Ma and Pa with baby Louie were in the hospital for nine days but are now at home and so much more relaxed; they are navigating Louie’s needs while balancing the needs of Roro and my daughter’s recovery.

I am home now for a bit while they get into a routine, but there are so many medical appointments to come for this little boy.

One thing for sure, I know he knows he is loved, by everyone, and that love is so pure, extending the love for our RoRo too. As a grandma my heart is full, and when I hold my grandchildren there is feeling of such deep love that feeds our very soul.

So there have not been shows for a week or 2, I will have some for you next week, but the balancing act right now is with family and seeing them stablized, so I am on call to go as needed, willingly.

Little Louie with broken femur.
