C25-11. Jerry Giordano’s 7-word Philosophy


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

With personal insights and a lot of humor, Jerry talks about why we do what we do and how it’s sabotaging our relationships and ourselves. Jerry has put his 7-word philosophy into practice by interviewing over 200 people from the ages of thirteen to ninety-four.

He had tried everything—every form of therapy, seminar, retreat, life coach, past-life regression, psychic reading, and self-help book available—but no matter how much he learned or how many breakthroughs he thought he had, the same emptiness remained. It wasn’t until he hit rock bottom, losing his mother to cancer and watching his fiancée walk away in the span of weeks, that he realized something profound: everything he had been doing was a left-brained approach—logic trying to fix an emotional wound. No amount of analysis could resolve what was buried deep in his unconscious. It was through mindfulness and meditation that he finally saw the truth—his easygoing, people-pleasing persona wasn’t who he really was; it was a mask, one he had worn for so long that even he had mistaken it for his true self. That’s when he discovered the 7 Words approach, a method that led him to uncover the unconscious story running his life. For the first time, he wasn’t just treating symptoms—he was rewriting the script that had been controlling him all along.

Jerry Giordano is an award-winning advertising and branding copywriter as well as a creative director who has lived and worked in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, and Dallas. He has worked for some of the largest advertising agencies in the world, including Ogilvy and J. Walter Thompson. He was also the in-house Creative Director for the National Football League (NFL) and has helped propel an impressive array of powerhouse brands including Duracell, Kraft Foods, American Express, Maxwell House Coffee, Philip Morris Corporate, Fox Studios, Food & Wine Magazine, International Paper, the United Way, Hardees, the British Tourism Authority, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and countless others.

Being a polymath with an unquenchable curiosity has led Jerry to become a keen observer of the human psyche and the ensuing behaviors. Typically, his work starts with the notion that “he knows nothing,” which allows him to consider everything—sifting through content to find the gem. Jerry is a collector, inspector, and connector of dots, which he credits to much of his success as an advertising creative and the author of Your 7 Words to a Happier You. Jerry was a co-producer of one of the world’s first TEDx events, has penned four screenplays—including a top 10 finalist at the SLAMDANCE film festival—studied sketch comedy professionally at Second City in Chicago, and has performed sketch comedy in NYC and regularly on the main stage at the Comic Strip in LA. 

He collects quotes and old cameras, photographs manhole covers (street art) from around the world, and is obsessed with the JFK assassination (which he will gladly discuss ad nauseam over a scotch or coffee). Jerry also meditates regularly. Though originally from New Jersey, he now lives in the moment.

“As a psychotherapist, introducing a number of clients to their 7 Words has been an effective tool for uncovering their unconscious stories and circumventing their sabotaging lifelong patterns. The discovery of my own words was the breakthrough I was unknowingly in search of for decades! Jerry’s writing exudes an uncommon vulnerability, clarity and authenticity, and this book takes self-help/self-discovery to a transcendent level.”— Melissa D. Borski, MRC, CFRC, LPC

SHL25-10. Claudine McDaniel’s Beyond Conquerors Ministry


Sisterhood of Common Sense Love with Sara Troy and her guest Claudine McDaniel, on air from March 11th

The mission of Beyond Conquerors Ministry (also known as Beyond Conquerors, Inc.) is to bring love and hope to individuals who have been knocked down by life’s difficulties by motivating them to get back up again and chase after their dreams.

Beyond Conquerors Ministry aims to reach and help as many women as we can by volunteering at women’s shelters in the United States. We host conferences and events to encourage those who have been knocked down by life’s difficulties. We specifically focus on women who are domestic violence survivors or facing challenges in life (emotional, financial, and/or medical) as a result of escaping domestic violence, abuse, stalking, human trafficking, divorce, homelessness, medical issues, and/or severe financial distress. In many cases, those whom we will provide assistance to may be facing more than one life challenge. Our books, messages, articles, teachings, and other services will inspire and give hope to anyone who finds themselves feeling hopeless, lonely, or afraid. Our resources will also provide encouragement so that they will get up from their low places and chase after their dreams.

We also help women in need in Africa to obtain job skills and employment, helping to fight poverty, prostitution and abuse. We work in under served areas by helping those who have the desire to work, but do not have the opportunity to do so.

C25-10. Sunshower Rose Transformative Art


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest, Sunshower Rose, on air from March 11th

The Transformative Power of Art

Art is more than just a visual expression—it is a language of the soul, a bridge between the seen and the unseen. Whether through watercolor, digital mediums, or performance, art captures the essence of human experience, reflecting our emotions, stories, and intuitive wisdom. It is a tool for self-discovery, a means of connection, and a legacy that transcends time.

Like the work of Sunshower Rose, who has immortalized faces, moments, and messages through her artistry, creativity is a gift that speaks beyond words. It is a reminder that art is not just what we create but how we bring our essence into the world.

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.
