Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 23rd
It was an overnight sensation that took years to make. It is funny how we discover people and think they are an overnight sensation, where it took years of struggle to get there. My own journey has been twelve years in the making, with almost eleven years of my own network.
When you think about it, it is more like a lifetime because of all the experiences you acuminate over the years. I did not become who I am today yesterday, it took my sixty nine years of life and then finding a path which I love and allowing it to guide me to where I was meant to be, doing what I was meant to do.
This year has been my harvest. With my own memoir out there, Sara’s Self Discovery to Soul Living, and the production of Our Forgotten Children book and contributing in two other books, it was many seeds coming to fruition all within five months. Four books, a new home ( which my daughter and husband and brought for me) and my son and fiancé providing help in moving and a new couch, I am blessed and truly grateful.
The universe works in its own way; although I have asked and worked for these things, the universe decides when it is time. The alignment of he stars, energies, and people, all have to be in sync to make it happen, and this is the right time now.
So as I take a couple of weeks off to move from two cities into one. I leave you with 3600 shows all found under these genres HERE I have done already this year 98 shows, and after my moving break, so much more to come, including the invitation to be in the Coaching Your Self Discovery anthology.
Enjoy all the shows thus far, and I will catch you all later when all new show will air from May 20th on.

Aim higher! Are your goals set for a 5-year run or a 40-year run? You may live a lot longer than you think, and you may need a bigger plan than you thought. Here’s how to make the most of it.
Going on 58. I mean, nothing’s changed. Well, maybe a little. When I was a seeming hotshot on Madison Avenue in NYC, I loved walking everywhere. Nowadays, destinations on concrete are not on my list of priorities. I wonder what I would have done differently in my 40s or 50s had I known I’d still be kicking (i.e., writing, speaking, teaching, lecturing) 40 years later???
Fess up. Are your goals set for a 5-year run or a 40-year run? Do your Purposes in life have a longevity option? Chances are you’re going to live longer (maybe a lot longer) than you’ve planned for.

While you’re planning how to be productive in your 80s (remember, I’ll be 89 this year), I have a suggestion for you — something I do every day. In the evening, I make a short list, hopefully no more than six or seven items. It’s a list of the things I most want to accomplish the next day. I try to get them done first thing during the morning and check them off. Wow! It gives me a great sense of accomplishment. It gives value to the day. But thinking back, I swear I never thought about life after the messy middle. Honestly, I don’t think I had a midlife crisis — I was too busy. Many, many years ago, I embraced a wise quip from the wiseass mouth of Noël Coward: “Work is more fun than fun.” And of course, he’s right. Friends, who knew I had an unforgettable villa in Acapulco for muchos años, said, “Why do you work so much, Jim? You can float around a pool all day with a margarita in your hand.” Hmm, that (was) true. And it’s Great — for maybe 20 minutes — and then the boring nothingness of it takes over.
I know you hear (and read) a lot of stuff about The Power of Purpose (wise words from Richard Leider) and the value of Atomic Habits (Mr. Clear will blow you out of complacency). And guess what? They’re true. Without Purpose, how can you get up in the morning? Yeah, yeah, you have stuff to do. Walk the dogs, make the coffee, maybe check the news to see what today’s traumas are. But, friends, that’s not enough. Yes, we all have the trivialities of living: the necessities of bathing, feeding oneself, cleaning our quarters. But you can do most of that with your eyes half open and your mind closed. I’m smiling, thinking about a good starter. Read Admiral McRaven’s wonderful quickie book Make Your Bed. Or maybe even better, find his speech on YouTube with the same title. It’s brilliant. I started doing it before I read his book, and I still Make My Bed every morning. I’m fortunate; I have a live-in full-time nanny (that’s what I call her) who takes care of most of the trivialities of my life, who will cheerfully make my bed. But I agree with McRaven. If you start your day making something that’s messy, neat, you’re getting your mind set in an orderly path.
Of course, some Purposes in life can’t be knocked off in a few minutes. On my current list (I’m a writer!) is finish the novel I’ve been studiously avoiding because I know it will require total attention, which means I can’t play with the other things on my creative plate. I mean, I finished creating a TV series — even wrote the pilot. And I’m almost finished with a screenplay. If I could make this article five pages longer, I’d tell you about it and ask you for any ideas about how to finish the damn thing.

So, where am I going, babbling on and on about What Are You Doing That Makes You Wake Up With a Smile? And can you keep on doing it forever, without boring yourself? You are saying, “But I don’t have time. I mean, we still have children, ranging from teens to college, and they require so much.” True. But they’re going to have to learn how to choose their own path; and suddenly you’ll turn around and the little darlings won’t be there, and won’t need you to hold their hand — and maybe won’t want you to hold their hand. I love my children and grandchildren. But I don’t call and ask them: “What shall I do today?” And, hopefully, your kids and grandkids are so busy with their own lives, they don’t want to manage your life.
I really don’t have to tell you Life is a Gift, do I? I mean, there were no guarantees you’d wake up on the right side of the grass today, but here you are — Wow! Another chance to see, hear, taste, smell, touch — it’s called living. And even better than that, it’s an opportunity to help someone else, besides yourself. It’s especially good if you can help someone and not expect anything in return.
Here’s an exercise for you. I can’t remember the smart professor or lecturer who said it, but it’s terrific. See if you can write, in just six words, a statement about who you are, who you want to be, why you matter — in other words, a six-word summary of the essence of you. Hey, being a writer, when I was given that challenge, I thought of the brilliant writer James Michener, who lived 90 extraordinary years and wrote immensely long historical novels, each one a treasure, who said of himself, “I can’t say Hello in six pages.” But I did it—printed it out and have it pasted to the bottom of my computer monitor, so I have to see it every day and try to live up to it. It says: “I am present —living, giving, loving.”

Besides his books, he has a TV series, screenplay, and musical ready for public viewing. Home is a 1940’s art-filled dairy barn in the foothills of the Berkshires.
Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Sean Botha, on air from April 16th
My PhD research into sound and “silence” meant analyzing music using deep listening practices and in the process, I created a new analysis model for musicians. Whilst doing this I created “The Listen Program” because I noticed how in-depth my own listening process became. Without realizing I was creating deep focus for my own neurodiverse brain. I had to do something with the work and wanted to make a difference. This is why I started to share the program with colleagues, family and students. The benefits of the program are great and different for everyone. The program uses every day sounds around us and it adapts itself to the needs of the individual. The individual gets to choose what they will listen to in a given moment. It means perception and psychoacoustics plays a big role in how the individual will feel at by the 7th step of the listening process. We are surrounded by sound, noise and quiet moments every day of our lives and we need to know how to navigate our life with the sounds around us. This is where the program becomes extremely helpful for people from all walks of life, not just those who are neurodiverse.
Sean Botha hails from Pretoria, South Africa. He is the founder & director of HSBothaProductions, in Sydney, Australia. Sean is a music composer, storyteller and researcher. He created “The Listen Program” during his doctoral research at Western Sydney University. The program was created out of a need to quiet his own mind. He received wonderful feedback from coaches & tutors of its applicability and how it creates focus and a calm mind. Sean is passionate about the relationship between sound & stillness, physics and communication. Sean worked in the health industry for 28 years during which he went back to his first love, music. His research has given him a deeper understanding of the fundamental processes of communication, specifically, listening and the need to help people realign with their own unique listening and process.
