Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Marni Hill Foderaro, on air from May 24th

Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro is passionate about handling life’s challenges with honesty, love, compassion, research and self-discovery. Like most of us, her journey has been that of peaks and valleys with many life lessons learned along the way. Staying true to your values and following your passions can help you overcome adversity and live a more fulfilling, self-actualized life. Marni found her survivor voice midlife, after experiencing significant losses as a result of her choosing to leave unhealthy and abusive relationships and doing the inner work to reclaim her life. Our voices and conversations matter because they can inspire others to rise above their challenges to encourage them on their own road to self-discovery.

C22-05 Simone Knego, “The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You”.

January 31, 2022January 31, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Simone Knego, on air from February 1st.

Simone says “In my new best-selling book, The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You, I detail my journey of adopting three of my six children, my climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, and all of the funny, scary, and inspiring stories that came along the way”.

My goal is to help others realize that the small choices they make every day matter. We all have the power to inspire others, just by being who we are.

I have been married to my husband for 27 years and have six children. Although I graduated from The University of Florida with both a Bachelor and Master of Accounting and have my CPA, I realized early in my career that I wasn’t meant to sit behind a desk. I’m a storyteller and love talking to other people. I truly believe that you can learn something from everyone you meet.

In my early years, I earned a Master of Accounting from the University of Florida and began my professional career as a Certified Public Accountant. But I soon realized that my passion wasn’t numbers—it was helping people. This led me to become an elementary and exceptional education teacher to work with children. Today, my desire to help people has expanded into sharing my story and experiences to inspire and motivate others to make a difference in this world. I’ve done some pretty remarkable things in my life—I’ve climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds and awareness for the Livestrong Foundation, served 6 years (including one year as co-chair) in the National Young Leadership Cabinet for the Jewish Federations of North America, birthed three children, and adopted three more from South Korea and Ethiopia. I’ve authored a book and shared my story nationally as a motivational keynote speaker. And I’ve travelled the world on many philanthropic missions, including medical missions with my Neurosurgeon husband, Rob, who I’ve been married to for nearly 30 years. Every choice I’ve made is a part of my story. I’ve made some really big life choices, but it’s the small things that have impacted my life the most. For example, the familiar Jewish phrase I learned in my youth, Tikkun Olam—repair the world—has been the driving force of everything I do. It has changed my perspective on life and inspired me to write my book the Extraordinary UnOrdinary You to share the important message that what you do matters. We are—in essence—repairing the world with our small acts of kindness by simply being who we are. Each of us is unique and UnOrdinary. But sometimes we need to be reminded how Extraordinary we truly are.

In 2018 I was selected as Co-Chair of the Jewish Federations of North America’s National Young Leadership Cabinet. Through that role I had the opportunity to speak on multiple stages, sharing my story with the goal of inspiring other people to realize what they are capable of..

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.

C21-51 Sarah Nesbitt, Drawn on the Way.

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
Making the transition from corporate day job to full-time artist

A former opera singer and a self-taught live sketch artist and illustrator, Sarah Nisbett loves to draw the people, places, and things she encounters “on the way.” Her Drawn On The Way project is dedicated to helping people find the extraordinary in the everyday and to seeing themselves and others as works of art. Originally from Ann Arbor, MI, she moved to New York City to pursue music. After a successful career as professional opera singer, it was on the way to her next career in advertising that she discovered a passion for drawing on her daily commute. This daily detour led her to a full-time drawing and writing career.
