QS25-28. Kelly O’Hearn’s Arcanum & Tarot

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Quantum Spirituality with Sara Troy and her guest Kelly O”Hearn, on air from July 15th

O’Hearn explores love, power, freedom, spirituality, and self-discovery through the lens of past lives, inspired by her own past-life readings and personal transformation. 

Known for elevating people’s frequency and vibration, Kelly O’Hearn helps others unlock their potential and align their present life with their desired one through reinvention, energy work, and storytelling. Born in New York City, O’Hearn first put her sensory gifts to work as a professional wine taster and sommelier. After raising two children and overcoming a personal health crisis, she discovered the Tarot and became, as far as she knows, the first author to channel an entire novel series through it. 

The Arcanum series dives deep into themes of love, power, freedom, spirituality, and self-discovery, all through the lens of past lives. Drawing on her own experiences channeling eight past lifetimes, Kelly weaves these insights into her storytelling and teachings. She explores how soul connections evolve across time, with soulmates often appearing in non-romantic roles to help catalyze growth. Kelly also sheds light on soul contracts—agreements made across lifetimes that foster mutual evolution, even through pain. Tarot, central to her journey, is presented not as fortune-telling but as a transformative tool to uncover energetic blockages and realign with our highest potential. By encouraging curiosity over certainty, she welcomes skeptics and invites personal engagement with the Tarot experience. Kelly also redefines midlife as a time of rebirth rather than crisis, especially empowering women over 40 to embrace their ageless relevance, creativity, and purpose. At the heart of it all is her philosophy of “pulling it back to self”—tapping into inner wisdom, intuition, and energy to create meaningful transformation from within.

The Unique Journey of Writing Arcanum: Kelly’s use of Tarot to channel her series makes Arcanum distinct, blending divination with storytelling.

Kelly O’Hearn is the author of the acclaimed Arcanum series of novels, a sweeping, time-bending multi-book saga channeled through tarot cards. Inspired by her own past-life readings, O’Hearn weaves together multiple storylines of a powerful woman persevering across lifetimes in the quest for love, destiny, and self-discovery.

O’Hearn believes the tarot is not about fortune-telling but rather a language of energy—a narrative tool that reveals deeper truths. Known for elevating people’s frequency and vibration, she helps them unlock their potential and align their current life with their desired one through reinvention, intuition, and personal transformation.

Born in New York City, O’Hearn first put her intuitive skills to work as a professional wine taster, instructor, and sommelier.

AK25-28. The Fire Concerto by Sarah Landenwich

Sara Troy

An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Sarah Landenwich, on air from June 17th

THE FIRE CONCERTO (Union Square & Co.; June 10, 2025) is a riveting literary debut by Sarah Landenwich that blends mystery, music, and forgotten history. When Clara Bishop—a once-celebrated pianist now tending bar in Texas—receives a mysterious metronome from her estranged former mentor, she’s pulled back into a world she thought she’d left behind.

The metronome may be tied to her ancestor, famed composer Aleksander Starza, and the woman accused of murdering him, brilliant 19th-century pianist Constantia Pleyel. As Clara and her childhood rival Tony travel to Poland in search of the truth, they uncover dangerous secrets, lost compositions, and a narrative far more complex than the one history has recorded.

With echoes of generational trauma, artistic obsession, and redemption, THE FIRE CONCERTO is a lush, suspenseful novel that reclaims the voices of extraordinary women long erased from memory. Through pain, Clara must find beauty, and perhaps, a way back to herself.

? The Power of Being Seen ?
Too often, the world forgets the brilliance that lives in women over 40. We’ve been the caregivers, the builders, the soul-bearers, and the quiet warriors. We’ve overcome, transformed, and risen, sometimes in silence, often without applause. But no more.

This is the time to Be Bold, Be Brave.

My latest campaign is a tribute to the women who have lived, lost, learned, and led, with grace, with grit, and with unapologetic strength. It is a celebration of the women who dared to rewrite their stories after 40, who’ve walked through fire and emerged not burned but forged.

The Power of Being Seen is not about vanity. It’s about visibility.
It’s about acknowledging our journeys, honouring our bodies, valuing our wisdom, and reclaiming our place in the spotlight, not for approval, but for truth.
Because when women over 40 are truly seen, the world shifts. Generations are inspired. Real change begins.

This movement is not just for the bold-hearted, it’s for those ready to remember who they are, to share their truth, and to stand tall in their magnificence.

? Let us lift each other up.
? Let us reflect one another’s light.
? Let us be seen—in all our boldness, bravery, and beauty.

Are you one of these women? Or do you know someone who is? Join the conversation. Tag a woman who has inspired you after 40. Let her know she’s seen, she’s valued, and she’s celebrated.

Barbara Anne is a portrait artist and entrepreneur whose journey began far from the camera lens. With a background in entrepreneurship, business coaching and community leadership, she spent years helping others grow their brands and voices—while quietly hiding from the spotlight herself. After a period of deep personal reflection and a growing frustration with how women, especially in business, undervalue their self-image, Barbara transformed her photography hobby into a powerful tool to change lives and never looked back. What had begun as a creative outlet quickly became a calling: to help people reclaim their sense of worth, one portrait at a time. Today, she runs Barbara Anne Photography, where she creates empowering portrait experiences that turn self-doubt into confidence and photographs into legacy artwork.

BB25-28. Haylee Gernert & The Virtual Life

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Haylee Gernert, on air from July 15th

I believe the behind-the-scenes of a business is where the magic really happens, and that magic deserves care, clarity, and intention. My journey into Online Business Management started with a love of organizing chaos and a deep respect for the humans at the heart of every company. Through systems, structure, and soulful strategy, I support small business owners so they can stop drowning in the day-to-day and get back to the big-picture work they’re meant to do. My message is for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their own success and needs a trusted partner to help bring order, alignment, and ease to their operations. I also write The Virtual Life, a newsletter and creative outlet where I share stories and reflections from the world of online business: a space to connect with others walking this unique and dynamic path

I started my professional path in traditional administrative roles, learning early on how much I love supporting people, not just with tasks, but with vision. Over time, I moved into virtual support and discovered the world of Online Business Management, where I found my sweet spot: helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs build systems that actually support the life and business they want. Today, I work as an OBM and Retreat Support Specialist, blending operations expertise with heart-centered strategy. I also write a Substack newsletter called The Virtual Life, a passion project where I explore the behind-the-scenes of digital entrepreneurship. I’m based in Northern California, raising a family, growing a business I love, and travelling as often as I can.

C25-27. Deb Miller Re-Writing My Story

Sara Troy

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Deb Miller, on air from July 8th

 I wrote Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness because I lived it, and I know I’m not alone. Too many women believe society’s script that says happiness depends on finding Prince Charming and checking all the boxes. I believed that, too, in the beginning. My journey of self-discovery began with a bold choice to rewrite the story I’d been given. From Midwest housewife to global marketing exec to professor and author, I’ve learned that happily ever after isn’t handed to you—it’s built, one brave decision at a time. 

I’m here to remind women that it’s never too late to take the reins, ditch the outdated fairy tale, and create a life rooted in their unique definition of joy. This conversation is for anyone who’s ready to rewrite their happily ever after and be their own hero.
