C24-11. Stefani Seek & The Love Compass


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Seek, on air from March 12th

In today’s episode, we speak with best-selling author, business and life coach, Stefani Seek, about how we often fall into the trap of letting life happen to us, instead of designing our lives as deliberate creators.   Stefani shares how our upbringings, societal norms, lack of self-love and others’ expectations can lead us away from our authentic selves, and how it is never too late to pause, realign and become the creator of the life you really want.  Listen for practical guidance on how you can begin to redesign your life at any age and to receive inspiration about why you deserve to create a life you love.

My mission is to help people understand that they can be the creators of their own lives by loving themselves more.  I understood this concept to a degree growing up due to goals I would set and achieve, but I fell short in my romantic life when I didn’t love myself enough and I was too much of a people-pleaser to ask for what I wanted.  I got married twice and divorced twice by the age of 42, and those experiences made me question all of my life choices up to that point.  I realized that in my romantic relationships, and also in certain aspects of my career, I was letting life happen TO me rather than creating it FOR me.  I now use my life experiences to help people uncover what holds them back from living the life they desire and dream of, so that they can experience more abundance, more joy and more satisfaction.

Stefani spent 25 years in corporate America as an executive sales leader for esteemed global companies including Salesforce and Gartner.  Despite career success, Stefani found herself facing her second divorce by the age of 40 while also a busy mom to three daughters, which led her to a deep journey into what makes relationships stick for the long-term or fade away.  During this discovery, she became the author of the category best-selling book The Love Compass: A Girl’s Guide to Finding Authentic Love (Amazon, Audible).  She also founded Seek Love, LLC, to provide life and career coaching to individuals, as well as sales coaching and workshops for B2B corporations under the company name of Love the Sell.  Stefani is an in-demand public speaker, inspiring audiences to uncover new ways of creating the abundance, careers, and relationships they seek.   Stefani leverages her sales training and her own experiences of heartbreak, divorce, dating, finding new love & corporate-to-entrepreneur transitions to help everyone from executives to stay-at-home mothers up-level the areas of life in which they want to find more joy and fulfillment.  Stefani believes that thoughts become things, and that when we change our thought patterns, we can change our lives.

C24-09. Martha Mok & Unperfect Confidence


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Martha Mok, on air from February 20th

Coming from an Asian traditional family. I have been told and made to believe that a woman should shut up, put your head down, be the sister, be the partner, and be the wife of how society wants us to be. That is how a woman will get a rainbow life.

Nevertheless, after I experienced the traditional way. I realize even I have followed all the traditions and expectations from others.  My life was far from a rainbow. Instead it was filled with abuse from my 19 years DV marriage. Being bullied as a young kid all the way to adulthood. The hardest thing for me to admit was being sexually molested by someone I trusted at a young age that my brain have to shut down that memory to protect me. So, I would say, my life was far from rainbow but it was sure colourful. 

What changed my life was when I first start to work on my career as a makeup artist. I started running my own business and became well know in helping other woman to feel and look beautiful. 

During covid, my makeup business was at a stand still. I am grateful at that time, I met my current partner. He encourage me to take on life development studies as he told me , I am quite inspirational. 

I took his advice and move forward with the idea. Gratefully, I was featured in Yahoo Finance as the top 1% of business and confidence in Australia. 

My journey have shown me, I don’t need to be perfect to be confident. But I do need to have the will to continue to try and not to give up even when it looks like the world has given up on you. 

Because, somewhere, someone is listening. You will always get what you ask for at the end.

Today I help other women, especially women over 40+ to realize, there is more to life, there is more to discovery about themselves and there is still the chance to find the happiness you desire. All you have to do, is to start asking and start receiving.

C24-05. Debbie Gray & Life Choices


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Debbie Gray, on air from January 30th

‘Life is too short, to not do what you enjoy’ and ‘Life is about choices’. I help people gain clarity and be happier, by creating more options in the simplest ways possible.
Its so much easier than people realize to untangle their lives and mind, when you have support and guidance.  Started my journey working with women needing to see some form of light and inspiration in dark scenarios, ended up working more with men.

C23-48. Misty Laboy, Self Love Mentor


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Misty Laboy, on air from November 28th


Join a discussion on such profound and multifaceted topics like self-love & self-acceptance, radical honesty, spiritual journeys, plant medicine, living your truth, open marriage, ethical non-monogamy, self-confidence, and body image, offers a rich ground for exploration and learning. Here are some insights and questions that could contribute to the conversation: Here are some insights and questions that could contribute to the conversation:

  1. Self-Love & Self-Acceptance: These are foundational for personal growth and happiness. Discussing how to cultivate self-love in a world that often promotes unrealistic standards can be enlightening. How do different cultures and societies view and encourage self-love?
  2. Radical Honesty: This concept involves being truthful to oneself and others, including in uncomfortable situations. How does practicing radical honesty impact personal relationships and self-perception? Are there limits to how and when it should be applied?
  3. Spiritual Journey: Spirituality can take many forms and doesn’t necessarily have to be tied to religion. What are various ways people embark on spiritual journeys? How do these journeys impact their worldview and inner peace?
  4. Plant Medicine: Discussing the use of plants for healing, both physically and mentally, opens up a conversation about traditional and alternative medicine practices. How have different cultures utilized plant medicine, and what is its role in modern healthcare?
  5. Living Your Truth: This can mean different things to different people. What does it mean to live authentically in today’s world, and how does one balance personal truths with societal expectations?
  6. Open Marriage and Ethical Non-Monogamy: These are important topics in the context of modern relationships. How do couples navigate these waters while maintaining trust and respect for each other? What are the misconceptions and challenges?
  7. Self-Confidence & Body Image: In a world bombarded with images of ‘ideal’ bodies and lifestyles, fostering self-confidence and a healthy body image is crucial. How do media and culture influence our perceptions of ourselves, and what can be done to promote a healthier view?

Each of these topics is a deep well of discussion in itself, and together, they weave a complex tapestry of human experience and psychology. The key in such a discussion is to maintain openness, respect, and a willingness to understand diverse perspectives.

I’m Misty Laboy, a Master Makeup Artist, Weight Loss Advisor, and Self-Love Mentor. My journey began as an art student selling Cosmetics to put myself through college and support my family. Along the way, I discovered my passion for helping women transform inside and out. Despite achieving success in my career, I struggled with my weight until I found that diets don’t work, but lifestyle changes do. This realization led me to the top 2% of my company and a mission to help others shed pounds and gain confidence. However, my own journey toward self-love was the most profound transformation of all. In 2020, I hit a low point and embarked on a spiritual self-love journey, healing addiction and finding inner fulfillment. Now, I empower women to discover their worth beyond appearances, as I did. Join me in embracing self-love and manifesting a life that exceeds your wildest dreams!

I am Shelly Edwards Jorgensen, author of Beautiful Ashes: A True Story of Murder, Betrayal, and One Woman’s Search for Peace

Story Synopsis

A story of tragic loss and healing faith, Beautiful Ashes is the compelling account of Shelly Edwards Jorgensen’s quest to uncover family secrets and to survive the truth. After her mother’s tragic death in a house fire, fifteen-year-old Shelly is driven to seek answers. A silent witness to her father’s abuse, she fears sharing her deep-rooted suspicions in her alcoholic father’s role with authorities might risk her own life.

Though she attempts to flee her father’s home, she is forced to return as prosecution’s key witness against her father.  In sharing what she knows with the jury, she loses both parents.

Desperate to be loved and have a family, she finds she can’t just walk away from her past alone. Time after time, God places inspired people in her life, who help her dismantle old lies and face lingering wounds with the Savior’s help. Forty and single, but finally recovering from her past, Shelly finds love. Handsome Glenn Jorgensen is everything she wanted, and her wedding can’t come soon enough. But when serious medical complications arise on her honeymoon, her faith in God’s goodness falters. Once more there are secrets Shelly is terrified to expose. Will she find faith to rise from the ashes once more?

Shelly shares her experiences and the peace she’s found in life.  You’ll be transformed by Shelly’s riveting memoir about how love, forgiveness, courage, determination – and the guidance of angels – can overcome even the greatest anguish.

Story Origin

I never set out to write a book. Surviving life was my goal. I offer Beautiful Ashes to those who have been victims of abuse, domestic violence, rape, tragic loss, or any flavor of life’s overwhelming adversities, those who have lost hold of hope. My goal is to help others find hope in their own life’s journey by being a guiding light to show that there is a way through tragedy.

Writing Beautiful Ashes was a 9-year labor of love with the support of family, friends, and a therapist in order to articulate these tragic events that I surmounted along with the accompanying thoughts and feelings.  Eliciting these feelings was central in conveying the depth of my experiences.

So far, Beautiful Ashes has received a 5-star IndieReader review, a second-place finish in last fall’s Bookfest Awards and reached #1 best seller status on Amazon in several different categories.  I have also engaged in over 20 different podcasts, radio interviews, speaking events and even have done several personal appearances at book clubs both in person and via zoom. I am active on social media in many different trauma and inspirational groups trying to share my life lessons from overcoming such adversity. I know that I am helping many people from around the globe find hope because they are personally reaching out to me via email, social media, and private messages.  I now have friends in Australia, Africa, Europe, Canada, and most states with whom I interact regularly because of my book.

Shelly’s Bio

Shelly attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah where she was the first female to graduate with a degree in Manufacturing Engineering.  After graduation, she moved back to her home state of Michigan and landed her dream job as a manufacturing engineer to start off her 20+ year career for Ford Motor Company. A few years into her engineering career, she decided to go back to school to get her MBA.

Shelly has spent over 30 years serving within her church congregation and community. She has always enjoyed serving others. 

Shelly enjoys wood working and has amassed a workshop of her dreams.  She also enjoys being outside in the fresh air, trail riding in her ATV and enjoying the Great Lakes boating & jet skiing.

Shelly is happily married to her husband Glenn.  She is a step-mother, grandmother, and adored aunt!
