23-06. Resistance is futile in 2023 Actionism it.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from February 7th

It is our human nature to fight back, we have a knee-jerk reaction to things and we like to be argumentative and be right. This, unfortunately, gets us nowhere, so why don’t we try a different approach in 2023?

We know we are still in this pandemic and all its variants; we know we are in transition in our personal lives, mental health, wellness, financial security, in industries, and in our global economics. So fighting against it is futile. This is the time to ask ourselves what we are going to do about it, what we have learned, and how we are going to seed opportunities for 2023.

Everything, even disasters have a reason, some times it is to change our direction, sometimes a lesson about ourselves we need to learn, but it is always about us having the ability to make the changes we need to move forward and not drag ourselves down by what has been.

2020, 2021, just survival, 2022, coming out of the fog, and all of it was a time of reflection, a time to review our lives and go into ourselves and feel what we want for our future. A time to step up and be counted in heart and kindness and help each other on this windy, rocky path. We have so much to be grateful for, but when in fear, doubt, and hysteria, we can not see the gifts before us.

2023 is a year of nurturing those seeds you planted, watering them, and allowing them to grow. It is a time to allow and open up to change and when you come from the heart space, your mind sees things differently and you feel more enriched by what is possible and what is growing within and around you.

This transformation of humanity still has about 2-3 more years to grow out off. If we come together and stop fighting each other, and start listening to the inner voice, we will see how we can make the changes and why we need to, for if we do not, this planet and the source of universal energy will change it for us and it will be a harder ride than even 2024.

So let us rise up to the occasion and be the change the world needs, be the strength and solution we need in our own lives. FOR IF NOT YOU, WHO? We can not wait for others to do it for us anymore; we must be proactive in our own lives and in our community in order to thrive and rise up to greater heights.

BE KIND, CARE, SHARE AND STEP UP TO A HIGHER VIBRATION.

IG23-06. Gavin Fraye and the “REAL YOU”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Gavin Fraye, on air from February 7th

“Authenticity, intimacy and leadership are powerful forces individually—and their power increases exponentially when they are intertwined. Authenticity involves residing deeply in your most essential self, intimacy involves sharing this deeper self in a transparent way, and leadership activates our spiritual gifts and vision in service to others.”

This groundbreaking exploration of the Authentic Self flows from my 40 years experience as a licensed spiritual therapist and leadership mentor to entrepreneurs. The Real You is a comprehensive work that illuminates and makes accessible the universal path of the Authentic Self.

Each and every person living on the planet has a unique and natural Authentic Self—an eternal presence—that longs to be known, breathed into and lived from. This core of our nature is characterized by love, wisdom and compassion. The Real You is about reconnecting with this dynamic inner presence and following its lead to transform every aspect of your life.

My book incorporates an in-depth understanding of trauma through the prism of the false self, and makes the bold claim that one can find joy and fulfillment by embracing and transcending the false self. This path of inner work is also immensely relevant on a macro level, for as we own our Soul’s curriculum we are empowered to solve the major challenges unfolding in the world around us.

The Real You interlaces an intimate autobiographical narrative throughout to illustrate the underlying principles and exercises found within each chapter. With a convicted murderer and white supremacist gang leader in my own family, my tragic and triumphant life story is front and center with raw vulnerability.

Think of The Real You as a personalized owner’s manual for your Soul. An ideal companion for anyone on a therapeutic or coaching journey, it’s also an in-depth and accessible resource for practitioners desiring to integrate spirituality into their work with clients.

The Real You, in paperback and Kindle, is now available for preorder through Amazon using the link below. The Real You audiobook will be available now.

After decades of wide-ranging professional experience, along with navigating my own challenging and blessed life journey, I’ve come to some core understandings about who we are as human beings and the process of mentoring personal transformation. Here’s what I’ve discovered:

  • Each of us has a unique and natural Authentic Self, an eternal presence that longs to be known, breathed into, and lived from.
  • Difficult and painful transitions in life are one of the ways our Authentic Self has of gaining our attention and inviting us into powerful seasons of change and new direction.
  • We each carry a unique constellation of dreams we’re designed to manifest in this lifetime.
  • Self-compassion is intimately related to sourcing our creativity. We can embrace vulnerability as not a weakness, but an ally.

My professional background and experience:

  • A licensed marriage and family psychotherapist since 1983 with a wealth of experience facilitating transformational work with individuals, couples and entrepreneurial leaders. My specialty is supporting people in the midst of fertile life transition
  • Serving on faculty for 16 years at the University of Santa Monica in California from 1987-2002, co-facilitating the pioneering Masters Degree program in Spiritual Psychology
  • Designing and facilitating a wide range of transformational workshops, including:
    • Soul-Centered Leadership, a 6-month mentoring + mastermind program for progressive entrepreneurs
    • Authentic Self Leadership: Birthing the Next Season of Your Life’s Expression (11 months)
    • Soul-Centered Parenting: Guiding Your Family from the Wisdom of the Heart (12 weeks)
    • Turning Point: Discovering & Creating Your Life’s Work (4 days)

After spending the majority of my years in Southern California and raising three beautiful children, I’m blessed to have relocated to the Pacific Northwest. I now live in a beautiful waterfront home on Lake Stevens, 30 miles north of Seattle.

I am continually immersed in discovering new psychological and spiritual modalities that support me in evolving to new levels of healing and awakening. I have many passions, including: cherishing international travel, enjoying peaceful kayak outings on alpine lakes, and daily partaking of the healing presence and beauty of nature in all its forms.

C23-06. Journalists Suswati Basu, knowledge is power.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Suswati Basu, on air from February 7th

I believe that knowledge is power, whether, through books or research, we can all know ourselves a little better. Even though I have faced many adversities in both mental and physical health, I feel that we never stop growing as people. As a journalist, we face challenges on producing content that people will read with an open mind, and want to engage in conversation about the subjects.

Specialties: women in technology, DEI, gender, social model of disability, race, and social politics; British, Chinese, and Indian politics, mental health, eating disorders, nonfiction books.

Suswati Basu is a multilingual disabled intelligence journalist, former intelligence expert, mental health books show podcast host, and award-winning activist.

As a survivor and thriver from trauma, living with both mental health and physical disabilities, she began the International Women’s Podcast Award-nominated How To Be... Books show looking at helping mental wellbeing through reading and interviewing authors. Speaking to more than 50 authors in the past two years, including powerhouse people such as internationally renowned writer Seth Godin and veteran journalist Gary Younge, Suswati gained huge insight throughout the year and has been developing and creating a like-minded community. She actually reads a book a day! She is currently Head of Audience and Deputy Editor of NationalWorld news.

I hope you join the journey and that it helps you too here:

YH23-06. David Hernandez, My Body by Purpose.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Steven Logreira, on air from February 7th

After losing my childhood best friend (Eric) to obesity at the age of 21. I made a commitment, that I wanted to help people avoid them going through what my best friend went through. So, I began to reflect on the issues that kept my friend stuck in his unhealthy lifestyle. One issue that I believe is missing in the conversation of health is people’s relationships with food which is the leading cause of overeating. Emotional/stress eating is something that affects between 83-88% of Americans, and that number increases each year. A recent article released by CNBC revealed that 11 million people die each year due to non-communicable diseases caused by poor eating habits. For the past 15 years, I have been learning, perfecting, and implementing my strategies to create a practical system that helps men and women put an end to emotional/stress eating for good.
