Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Susan Blumberg, on air from May 5th
Today, we’re opening a conversation that touches the heart of many homes, the delicate dance between communication, relationships, and the realities of raising a neurodivergent child within a marriage.
There’s a common belief that having a child with special needs automatically places a marriage under greater strain, even leading to higher divorce rates. But the truth is more nuanced than that. It isn’t the child who defines the outcome—it’s how the couple chooses to walk the journey together.
When communication remains open, when both partners feel seen, heard, and supported, the relationship can deepen in ways never imagined. The challenge then becomes not just caring for the child, but consciously nurturing the partnership, making space for connection, understanding, and shared resilience.
This is about balance… about choosing each other as much as you choose your child, and recognizing that a strong relationship becomes one of the greatest gifts you can offer your family.
I’m a married mother of two young adult, twice-exceptional children. I’ve lived in Colorado for over 40 years, but I still think of myself as a New Yorker!
My background in cognitive behavioral therapy informs my work as a life coach, as I help people set goals, plan their journey, and achieve success. I worked as a licensed clinical psychologist for over 20 years, in mental health agencies, in private practice, and for the federal government overseeing child welfare and adoption services in the Rocky Mountain region. This has given me a solid and varied background, and extensive level of experience.
Working as a special education advocate for 40 years means I have honed my skills as a negotiator, my ability to collaborate, and my understanding of being a team member. I always put your child first. I have training from the Arc, Wrightslaw, and I was a member of COPAA, the Council Of Parent Attorneys and Advocates. I have sat on both sides of the IEP table, as a professional and a parent, which gives me an unique perspective. Though I am not currrently taking new clients, I am available for consultation as needed.
I am also the coauthor of multiple books, including Fighting for Your Marriage (2010, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg), 12 Hours to a Great Marriage (2003, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg) and Parenting a Child with Sensory Processing Disorder: a family guide to understanding and supporting your sensory-sensitive child (2006, Auer & Blumberg).

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and guest Jacqueline Kuhn, on air from April 28th
When Angels Interrupted my Career so I could live my Soul Purpose
For 40 years, I built a life inside the world of HR Technology and became the strategic voice executives relied on. My path was clear, predictable, and successful, until that day it wasn’t. I talk about the moment my career was unexpectedly and unmistakably interrupted. What appeared at first as subtle signs soon became undeniable messages. I had my “Ah Ha” moment and what followed was not a gentle pivot, but a profound awakening. Today, that calling lives through Powered By Angelstm and my
Soul Purposetm line of services designed to help others hear, trust, and follow their own divine direction. I invite listeners to recognize the moments when life tries to reroute them, understand the language of their own intuition, and uncover the purpose that has been quietly waiting beneath the surface. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most powerful career shift isn’t a decision, it’s a calling.
I have always known that I knew things but did not know why. I had moments at age 16, 19 and 22 where I was being nudged, but dismissed them as I wanted a “real career” and navigated a successful career in HR Technology for 40 years. Right before the world shut down for Covid, I met a medium at a show in Las Vegas and she became my guide and mentor. In 2022 I launched Powered ByAngelstm, in 2025 I retired from the HR Tech world to focus on this calling.
I am married 28 years to Kent, we live in the NW Suburbs of Chicago with our fur baby Carly. Hobbies include hiking , music and going to the beach.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy. On air from April 14th
I thought I would take a tiny look back on my seven decades, and revisit the memories.
Age 20 – Stepping Into the World. The Decade 20–30: The Years That Made Me
There are decades in our lives that quietly pass… and then there are decades that shape us.
My twenties were not a gentle unfolding. They were a leap—into the unknown, into the world, and into myself.
At twenty, I didn’t step out with a clear plan or a mapped-out future. I stepped out with curiosity… with openness… and with a heart that believed in humanity.
And that, as I would come to learn, was both my gift… and my lesson.
The World Became My Teacher
I didn’t learn from books—I learned from life.
Travel opened doors that no classroom ever could. From Paris to Greece, from Italy to Spain, from the United States to the roots of my life in South Africa, each place gifted me something different… something I needed.
I discovered that no matter where we come from—our culture, our language, our beliefs—we are all seeking the same thing:
To love… to be loved… and to live a meaningful life.
There were moments that felt like magic.
Dancing on the steps of Montmartre in Paris, where music seemed to gather around me, people chanting my name, my friend capturing it in art form. It was as if the universe itself was orchestrating the moment… strangers becoming part of a shared joy, a collective rhythm.
Walking alone under the moonlight in Greece, a song rising from somewhere deep within me, only to be joined by a stranger whose voice met mine in harmony—two souls, unknown to each other, yet connected in that moment.
These were not just experiences… they were awakenings.
Love, Connection, and Being Seen
In Spain, I met a man who, for a time, truly saw me.
He didn’t try to fix me. He didn’t judge me. He simply held space for me—to be, to feel, to share.
And sometimes, even a brief love can leave a lasting imprint. Not because it lasted forever… but because, in that moment, it was real.
Those moments mattered.
They reminded me that connection was possible… even if it wasn’t always permanent.
I met my ex-husband when I was twenty-six. From the very beginning, it was tumultuous—there was trauma woven into it—but the attraction was addictive. I had never intended to marry. To me, being with someone was a choice made each day from the heart, not something bound by a piece of paper.
When I was twenty-eight, my daughter was born—she was deeply wanted and chosen. But the external pressure to marry became overwhelming, and so we did. We went on to have two more children.
Yet, it was a marriage that should never have happened, and the pain of it left lasting scars.
The Lessons That Come With Openness
But life has a way of balancing beauty with truth.
I trusted easily—because I believed in people.
And while that brought incredible souls into my life, it also brought lessons… sometimes hard ones.
Not everyone who enters your life is there to honor you.
Some come to take. Some come to teach. And some… come to wake you up.
There were moments of danger, moments of uncertainty—times when instinct had to lead because logic had no time to catch up.
Like the day I found myself lost in a part of Washington no one dared to go… and yet, through presence, connection, and a willingness to meet people eye to eye, fear dissolved into humanity.
Those experiences taught me something powerful:
When we lead with fear, we close doors. When we lead with presence, we sometimes open hearts.
Finding My Way Without Fitting In
I was never academic. That path was never mine.
But what I lacked in structure, I made up for in instinct.
I could walk into a room and feel what was needed. I could see what people couldn’t express. I could serve—not from training, but from knowing.
This got me every job I had, not my credentials, but my essence of being.
Whether working in restaurants or stepping into roles I technically wasn’t “qualified” for, I found my way by connecting with people.
I worked in many jobs, not for a career, but for an experience and to see if I could do it.
I became South Africa’s first female Mobile Oil representative—not because I knew oil… but because I knew people.
And that mattered more.
I realized that service isn’t about knowledge alone… it’s about understanding, presence, and care.
Expression, Joy, and Being Alive
There was joy too—so much joy.
Music, dance, movement… the freedom of expression. Discovery, meeting new people, experiencing things I had never done, tasted, and seen.
I became South Africa’s first official go-go dancer, at the age of 15, at a time when it was still vibrant and alive, before it took on darker connotations. This was the start of my exploration and setting me up to what I do today.
The rhythm of Africa…is in its soul its soil, the beat of music… the energy of the dance floor…
That was life moving through me.
Even when my body struggled—with asthma, with limitations—my spirit still danced.
The Awakening of Knowingness
Through all of this, something deeper was quietly growing within me.
A knowingness.
Not learned. Not taught. But felt.
I began to see that I could sense what others needed… that I could understand things without knowing how I knew.
At the time, I didn’t fully trust it.
I was still looking outward for validation… still trying to fit into a world that was never designed for someone like me. Dyslexia, ADD, Asthma, Eczema, and insecurity.
But the seed was there.
And it was growing.
The Decade That Built Me
Looking back now, I can see it clearly.
My twenties were not about getting it right.
They were about experiencing… exploring… falling… rising…
They were about becoming.
Every high lifted me. Every low shaped me. Every person, every place, every moment—left its imprint.
And through it all…
I was being prepared.
For Anyone Walking Their Twenties Now
If you are in this decade of your life, or remembering it…
Know this:
You are not meant to have it all figured out.
You are meant to live it.
To explore the world… to explore yourself… to make mistakes… to discover your strength…
Because this decade?
It doesn’t define you.
It builds you.
Closing Reflection
My twenties were messy, magical, painful, and beautiful. I got married, had my first child, moved yet again to a new country, traveled explored.
