Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guests, LaChelle Adkins, Tina Feigal, Michaela Gaffen Stone, on air from September 30th

“Where Children Can Grow Amid Turmoil” is a conversation about creating havens of safety, love, and guidance for our children in a world often shaken by conflict and uncertainty. While the outer world may feel chaotic and destructive, we can still cultivate inner worlds of peace, spaces where children know they are valued, heard, and supported. This show explores how families, communities, and educators can plant seeds of hope, resilience, and compassion, ensuring that even amid turmoil, children can grow strong, confident, and ready to shine their light forward.

I am Sara Troy, host of Self Discovery Wisdom and a devoted child advocate. I bring together parents, educators, and supporters to raise awareness of children’s needs in today’s upside-down world. Through conversations and storytelling, I shine a light on the voices and solutions that nurture safety, resilience, and hope. My mission is simple: when we uplift and protect our children, we plant the seeds for a brighter and more compassionate future.

“ The needs of ALL children go beyond academics, they require emotional support, personal connection, and safe spaces to grow. As America’s Supermom, I believe prioritizing mental wellness in school and at home, equips families to nurture confident, healthy kids who thrive without excuses.”

Guiding Children through Today’s Turmoil

Born in England, I am a lifelong learner and nomad. Having lived in eight countries to date, I consider myself to be a Global citizen – where I come from is a story, not a place. Home is wherever I am, right now.
I took my expertise in tropical diseases nursing from London, UK, to Bangladesh to volunteer in an orphanage, later single-handedly running a High Commission’s medical clinic and caring for upwards of 300 people.
I became a Montessori assistant teacher in Belgium so I could work in the same system my kids were in.
I studied Buddhism and mindfulness with monks in Singapore. My quest for more took me from Bhutan, India, Ladakh, and Sikkim, to Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
I took my love for learning to college in the USA, becoming a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. The science of behavior change ignited in me a deeper understanding of human potential. Diving into Doctoral studies fueled my desire to share my extensive knowledge of human behavior with people open to receiving all that I have to offer.
Throughout my travels, raising my two sons to be responsible global citizens was a priority and sharing what I learn though experience and study is what I am here for.
