ECO21-37 Andrew P Michael Is Raising Planetary Consciousness.

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Andrew P Michael, on air from September 14th

Raising Consciousness to Heal the Planet and its Inhabitants

‘Soul Pal’ fables from modern-day Aesop, environmentalist Andrew P Michael, teach truths about our environmental crisis and the consciousness needed to resolve it. 

Earth is in peril. Severe droughts parch some areas while torrential rains flood others; gargantuan wildfires consume whole territories while freakish ice storms crash city grids. These and other environmental stresses are flaming human conflict and inflaming our health and the wellbeing of the animal kingdom.

A modern-day Aesop, environmentalist, and attorney Andrew P Michael uses stories and animal characters (Soul Pals) in his new e-book, Arising Soul Pals: Keep Your Eyes on the Rise, to illustrate the environmental and cultural challenges facing Earth and its inhabitants and to posit a solution to those challenges- raising consciousness.

Though the Arising Soul Pal stories are fictional, they are based on facts about nature, animals, people, and culture, providing the backdrop for understanding the environmental and social conditions that are causing our environmental crisis. Readers learn how climate change directly affects the octopus, pelican, hummingbird, elephant, rhino, and hippopotamus and simultaneously raise their consciousness of the attitude needed to prevail over these challenges.  By recognizing the innate but unique heart, intelligence, and courage that each Soul Pal applies to resolve the immediate hurdle threatening them, their family, and friends and practicing what Michaels refers to as Acronym Mantra Power (AMP), readers can “live in higher attitudes on an upward spiral of higher consciousness” and manifest solutions to the existential crisis we all face.

Daddy’s Girl by choice

I always wanted one of mine to be a daddy’s girl. So when I started going through my painful divorce due to abuse and had two toddlers while just finding out I was pregnant yet again (all 4 kiddos from the same bio father)…what kept going through my mind was what if they never have a daddy in their life? And I guess this means there will be no such thing as a “daddy’s girl” in our family. I say this because not only was I single mommin’ it, but their bio father wanted nothing to do with any of them. After we lost our son, Samuel, he leaned towards drugs and I leaned towards my Faith in Christ. Actually, that’s when I accepted God to be my Lord and Savior. (My testimony is another story for another day, but feel free to hit me up if you wanna know). Which also leads me to say…how quick Joey was later down the road to sign over his parental rights, which was a HUGE blessing from Above (so yes I’m thankful) so they could be ADOPTED by you know who-yours truly, Jeff.

So here I am 7 months later and very preggo with Harper and I receive a little thumbs up on match dot com on the silly profile my sister, Christina, had set up for me. Then came a message. It caught my attention because it was a profile pic with a man and his children. I had not seen anything like it at all. Not at all. It was very intriguing. And just like that…BOOM! Bahaha. Ok. Ok. As much as I want to say the rest is history, that is far from the truth. But, what did happen immediately is I fell head over heels in love with my Prince Charming. We had our first date on December 31st 2012, in NYE. We were engaged by February 14th, 2013, and married June 8th, 2013…so needless to say, “When you know, you know”.

Which brings me to the point of this part of my life story…In the beginning, I feared for what kind of relationship my babes would have with Jeff or if any, to be honest. Would they love him like a father or like a friend or maybe not at all?

You see I met Jeff when Lillian was 2, Coleman was 1 and I was 7 months pregnant with Harper. And his kids were 8,4, and 1 year old. But what transformed right after we met was a love I had never seen before. Jeff loved my children like no other. He treated them like his very own. To this day, if you met all 6 of our children you would have no clue which ones were his bio kids and which ones were mine that he ended up ADOPTING before the first deployment we went through together. Needless to say, Jeff is the only daddy that they have ever had and they have only known Jeff as their daddy. So here comes the “daddy’s girl” part of the story…Harper, without a doubt, is completely a daddy’s girl. Jeff has known her since the beginning of her life. He was even in the birthing room at the hospital when I gave birth to her…funny how that worked out cause he had just started Navigator School and his schedule was craaaazy!! When Harper and Jeff look at each other it is undeniable love. It honestly is something a mother dreams about. To this day, even with Jeff’s crazy work schedule, she will tell you right away that “daddy is her favorite”. It’s such a beautiful relationship. So yes…I have 6 living children, I’ve had two miscarriages, and I have lost a son who I found lifeless in his crib when he was merely 9 weeks old. All my biological children are amazingly close to their daddy and that dream I feared that would never come true about my loves having a true daddy in their everyday life and one of my girls being a daddy’s girl…well, that dream came true and that wish was very much granted.

Life is a journey. Not a destination. So I continue to say with each passing day…let go and let God. Trust the process. Believe it and you too will see it. Love y’all! And I pray you have the best weekend of your life, yet!!!! ??#leadHER#believHER#OvercomHER#motHER#militarypartnHER#DreamHER#forgivHER#EntreprenHER#yesYOUcan#riserunbecome

INTERVIEWS BY SARA TROY

C21-36 Isabel Chiara, author of EAT YOUR WORDS


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Isabel Chiara, on air from September 7th

Isabel has supported hundreds of clients to actualize their life’s greatest potential, to reconsider obstacles as opportunities and how to meet challenging moments with heart. She has dedicated decades to personal growth and development but kept her own lifelong struggle with food well hidden from her work. Nearing her 60th birthday, she knew she had to break her own silence about her struggles.
From this place, she wrote EAT YOUR WORDS and created Giana Giovanni; loosely based on aspects of her own story, but presented in a relatable way so that, true to Isabel’s nature, her own healing journey could be offered to others.

How to begin to approach feeling the physical body in a world that seems to promote disassociation with the body. How women can powerfully reframe what “getting there” actually means and why we can come together to transform what success looks like physically. How each person is equipped with a unique sense of “gut instinct” that is as varied as the trillions of bacteria in our digestive system. How to hone in on your “gut instinct.”



Isabel Chiara, created Giana Giovanni, a character whose story is told in the style of a first-person historic memoir. Giana’s recount takes us from the farm fields of Italy circa World War II to the era of Grease Lightening in the late 1970’s, up to the current day. In humorous, easy-to-read language, Eat Your Words gives us a peak at the generational path of overeaters beginning from a home-grown food heritage to the fast-food, drive-thru window of the super-sized large fry and extra-thick chocolate shake. 
With the wisdom of the feminine, Isabel supports Giana’s inner-exploration and aha moments, not pushing her to find a solution to her dysfunctional relationship with food, but encouraging her, through self-love, to live her way back into her body that feels, at last, like home. In this tale, our protagonist’s main “squeeze” and heroic rescuer isn’t the hot boy next door but rather the overly-handled bag of chips she grapples with until finally exchanging it for the act of self-embrace.

21-34 Letting Optimism Drive

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 31st

Letting Optimism Drive, keeping the possibilities alive, and choosing to see things from higher vibrations will always show us the way forward. It is so easy to see everything wrong, but if we change our lenses we can see what is right also. Choosing to be optimistic allows for those positive vibrations to rise up.

From there we see the possibilities and know from our heart and soul what we need to do to make it happen. We can not see clearly in judgment, righteousness, in pain, in fear, or anger, they consume our reasoning. To really have the clarity you have to raise up those vibes and allow that clarity to come from a higher place. Only then can we really see that being optimistic is positive and invites that clear vision of knowingness to come through.

Being optimistic is not being a daydreamer, or having your head in the clouds, it is about choosing to see from a different angle and being open to all possibilities without persecution of judgments. If we seed those optimistic possibilities each and every day, we will bear the fruits of that labor.

So let us embrace this wonderful word, let us see each other from different lenses, let us be open to other points of view, and let us not condemn our friends because they see things differently. Be open be present, be engaged, be heartful, and allow optimism to show you the way to clarity and exuberant possibilities.
