25-10. Sara’s Avatar Self


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 11th

Over the years, people have made Avatars of my image. I have been having fun with Chat CPT on what they think I look like based on our conversations. Here, I share them and ask you which one do you think is me.

So, I thought I’d have a little fun this week. I have had a few avatars done of me throughout my life. Many years ago, I had a wonderful one created by Daryl Stevenson, whom I interviewed. He’s a caricaturist, and he captured me at a time when I was still blonde. Someone else did one for me as well, though I’m afraid I can’t remember exactly who it was. That one had me with short hair, kind of gray, and looking a little bit dowdy.

Then, I had ChatGPT generate a picture of me. I provided a picture of myself during an interview, with my hair the way it is now. It came up with one that looks a lot younger than I am, but with gray hair. The reason I like this one is that, even though my face appears younger than my 70 years, it really captures the essence of me.

I am an old soul, one who has traveled through countless lifetimes, gathering wisdom from the echoes of ages past. My essence carries the depth of experience, the whispers of ancient knowledge, and the understanding that comes only from having walked many paths. And yet, within me, there still lives the unbridled spirit of a child—free, untamed, and ever hopeful.

I dance with wonder, my heart alight with the belief that possibilities are endless, that dreams are not just fleeting thoughts but seeds waiting to bloom. I embrace life with passion, with the same wide-eyed curiosity I have always carried, knowing that each new day is a canvas, ready to be painted with bold strokes of adventure, love, and discovery. Though time may have shaped me, it has never dimmed my fire; instead, it has refined it, making it burn ever brighter.

Done by DARYL STEPHENSON, who I have interviewed in the past.

C25.10. Lisa Andria is OK with Vulnerability


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Lisa Andria, on air from March 18th

Living your unique purpose and passion and being OK with vulnerability in that process – I lived my life being afraid to be myself for fear that others wouldn’t like the real me. Being bullied as a “nerdy” kid and feeling ugly and ignored, I was afraid to be my true self.  I was a people pleaser, which led to an unhappy marriage, blindly working for a corporation for 41 years, and, unfortunately, not loving myself.  Once I hit rock bottom, I realized I needed to go on a transforming journey. My mission in life is to help women honor and prioritize themselves much sooner than it took me. I am inspired to help women stop floating through life and lead them on a path to honor their “why” through self-discovery, healing of old wounds, and unwavering support for change. All while taking a leap of faith in themselves.

IG25-08. Johanna Derbolowsky, The Transformation Promise.


Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Johanna Derbolowsky, on air from February 25th

I’ve been on a spiritual path my whole life—teaching, guiding, and helping people shift to their next level in spirituality, life, and business. Observing the state of the world, from environmental issues to greed, I see an urgent need for transformation and unity as we step into a new reality.

Change is inevitable, yet we resist it. This year especially, we’re being pushed into it in a big way, stirring up fear. But now is the time to face those fears, to become fearless, and to remember who we truly are—our divine source energy is in our very genetics, uniting us all. The challenge is to move forward without judgment, using discernment and staying in our integrity.

In my book, The Transformation Promise (new edition released in November), I help people embrace change rather than be overwhelmed by it. I also created a free 24-day challenge to create miracles, still available online, to support this shift.

I’d love to bring this conversation to your audience, sharing how we can navigate these times with clarity, courage, and purpose.

Johanna Derbolowsky is an international keynote speaker, best-selling author, psychic business coach, spiritual counselor, and transformation coach who has helped clients worldwide navigate major life changes—from overcoming deep-seated fears and health issues to career shifts, relationships, and spiritual awakening.

Born in Germany, Johanna was privately taught by shamans and healers as a child but didn’t want to become a recluse like her teachers, she wanted to be normal and fit in with her peers. Seeking a more conventional path, she pursued a career in the film industry, which brought her to Los Angeles. Yet, her true calling in healing and personal transformation kept pulling her back. She eventually embraced it fully, becoming a teacher of intuition development and psychic awareness, as well as a practitioner of hypnotherapy, Reiki Master, past-life regression, timeline therapy. Her deep interest in spontaneous healing led her to develop The Quantum Heart Field Experience, a powerful method for shifting life circumstances.

With over 25 years in metaphysics, Johanna is an ordained minister with the International Metaphysical Ministries and the author of Johanna Derbolowsky, The Transformation Promise. Through private coaching, workshops, and speaking engagements, she helps people with metaphysics, break limiting patterns, and step into their highest potential—whether in life, business, or spiritual evolution.
