C22-04 Sharon Rolph, Tapping into the Boomers.

January 24, 2022October 22, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Sharon Rolph, on air from January 25th

Baby Boomers have so much life ahead of them. Yet transitions can be challenging. Reconnect with your dreams and joy, build a longevity plan and define your greatness. What gives you energy, meaning, and a great reason to get out of the house? Let’s strengthen our communities and live a life without regrets, giving the best of ourselves until the end.

Potential has always been a keen interest of mine since a teenager. Now, being retired, the potential of free time combined with good health, makes Boomers a NEW RESOURCE for our neighborhoods, communities, and cities. It’s been on my heart to help professional women find a new purpose and significance after retiring. I went through some confusion, wondering how I’d know if my days were productive—when there’s no one telling me what needed to get done. Now I inspire and empower people to share the best of themselves until the end.

Sharon grew up in the Puget Sound and on a farm in Eastern Washington. She pursued an advanced education in Behavioral Science, Administration, and Technical Arts. She worked for Boeing in Tukwila and Everett, and 19 years for GTE in Everett and Tampa. She loves empowering people and finding their unique golden nugget.

She’s like a LifeSaver for discovering your heaven on earth. (OR) She’s like a Fairy Godmother calling forth your greatness.

I’m your Retirement and Essence Coach, collaborator, and motivator who empowers you to find your new purpose in life that gives you energy, freedom, joy, and ease. Beat back isolation & depression & boredom by becoming the Director of You: become curious again, look for possibilities and give back for more vitality. Find a meaningful life intentionally – that’s your new job in retirement!

I replace employee disengagement with awareness of the best expression of each person’s Essence and DNA. Essence is your point of power and answers the WHO AM I question resulting in more employee creativity, freedom, confidence, and greatness. Does replacing job frustration, and solving the lack of employee engagement interest you?

After getting all the retiring paperwork wrapped up, I started wondering HOW would I know I had a good or productive day. Bouncing off the wall wasn’t the life I wanted for the next thirty years. Then I remembered my Essence statement was a tool I’d created a couple of months prior. I turned it into a wall hanging for daily inspiration. It really, really helps. It tells me who I am when I am at my best. When I’m living from THAT place, I know it’s a good day. It’s my Inner Spark or DNA and includes words like a jewel of wisdom and colorful collaborator. Wouldn’t you like one of your own?

I am an inspirer and creative designer who loves ideas, curiosity, and potential. If you can dream it, it is possible. I use my analytical, communication, & listener skills to help you uncover your best. And, I love creating synergy; it’s like magic!

I connect several interests of mine when I create fabric works of art. I get lost when I’m sewing, so putting words of wisdom, together with pretty colors, thereby using my gift of colors, results in inspiring mini-wall hangings. And sharing a few with students in India recently was a special joy. I also share these art blocks on a YouTube vlog and Queen of Courage on Instagram.

Baby Boomers have so much life ahead of them. Yet transitions can be challenging. Reconnect with your dreams and joy, build a longevity plan and define your greatness. What gives you energy, meaning, and a great reason to get out of the house? Let’s strengthen our communities and live a life without regrets, giving the best of ourselves until the end.

December 20, 2021February 10, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Sarah Nisbett, on air from December 21st

Nisbett’s “Drawn on the Way” project aims to encourage people to slow down, put their phones in their pockets, and see themselves and the world as a work of art, finding the extraordinary in the day-to-day. The new book is an inspirational guide designed for busy people on the go who only have a few minutes in their day for creativity and non-screen activities.

Using just a small sketch pad and a uni-ball office pen, Sarah has created thousands of in-the-moment sketches of the people and places she passes “on the way,” often giving her sketches to the people she draws. A recent video on TikTok of her giving away a drawing to two women she sketched in a park went viral, and currently has over 1.2 million views.

Our talk will be on. Reconnecting with a post-COVID world through drawing
How sketching can build empathy and curiosity—and inspire self-acceptance
Ways to incorporate unplugged activities into your day in 5 minutes or less

C21-50 Christine Meyer. Keep It Simple, Smartypants!

December 13, 2021December 13, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Christina Meyer, on air from December 14th

Your life is as simple or complex as you let it be. Your life is always as good as you allow it to be. Our work together is easy and life-changing.

Let’s be honest: life can feel pretty random. When things go well, it’s because you’re managing (read: controlling) them. But when one thing goes wrong, it seems like all that goes out the window.

So you try all the “right” things, like reading the self-help books, exercising, changing your diet, working harder, working smarter, having the tough conversations, and rubbing that lucky pebble in your pocket, all in hopes of pulling the right levers and lining up the stars to (fingers crossed) get the life you want.

HERE’S THE TRUTH:

There is no right or wrong way to live your life.

There’s your way!

**Reality doesn’t happen to you. It happens from you. You can give up the idea that you need to (or can) control everything, and start understanding that you create everything.**

C21-49 Heather Dugan, Surviving the Holidays when you are Alone.

December 6, 2021November 30, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Heather Dugan, on air from December 7th
~Tips and advice from relationship expert and award-winning author Heather Dugan on how to keep loneliness at bay~

Heather says that loneliness is a personal concept. While some people don’t need a lot of social interaction to be happy and healthy, others may have contact with friends and family members all the time and still feel alone. “Loneliness happens when you feel socially isolated, and it can have a powerful impact on your mental health. You need to plan for low moments and make the most of situations that are beyond your control,”

The holiday season should be a time of joy and love, but it can also be a time of loneliness for many people. As we gradually crawl out of the pandemic, the uncertainty around traveling and vaccine hesitancy among Americans may force people who live far from family to stay home and miss seeing their loved ones. “For those who feel a sense of loneliness, holidays can be a time of major additional stress,”

Dugan. “You can still make memories for yourself by being creative and flexible. Build new “traditions” and find ways to embrace rather than avoid the alone time.”

Some useful suggestions from Heather to add some cheer to solo holidays:

Refrain from comparing yourself to others and assuming they are doing great
Focus on the brighter and positives of the situation
Volunteer and offer your service to someone in need
