25-02. Join Sisterhood of Common Sense Love


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 14th

An Exciting Year of Revolution and Hope

This year promises to be one of transformation. While the world will witness tumultuous events and unsettling changes, these challenges have inspired me to establish a new podcast genre within the Self Discovery Wisdom platform. Alongside my 19 other podcast genres, I’ve introduced the Sisterhood of Common Sense, Love, and the Men Who Support Them. This channel is rooted in the belief that the world needs more common sense, love in action, and the nurturing wisdom of those who lead with compassion and practicality.

The Sisterhood of Common Sense, Love showcases inspiring women—and the men who stand beside them—who are driving transformative change. These individuals tackle societal challenges with resilience, compassion, and practical solutions, often helping those affected by the greed and entitlement of power-hungry individuals. Guests on this channel are committed to uplifting others, including donating a portion of their services to those in need. This is love and responsibility in action, helping people transition from hardship to empowerment.

The world is at a crossroads, and financial struggles often compound the challenges of redirection. As societal and political upheavals shake nations, including Trumpism in the U.S. and its global ripple effects, it is essential to unite. Standing together in love, accountability, and common sense can counteract the divisiveness and harm wrought by narcissistic and misogynistic leaders.

This is not a time for hate or violence but for a revolution of consciousness. We must rise as a collective force, embracing kindness, compassion, and shared responsibility. My vision is to create a community where everyone contributes their talents and energy, harmonizing like an orchestra to create a better world.

Through my platform, I aim to empower individuals to reclaim their power, take ownership of their lives, and stand united in love and humanity. Together, we can push back against the tide of greed and entitlement, ensuring a brighter future for all. It starts with us—one step, one act of love, and one note in the orchestra at a time.

20-25. My Commitment to You


Sar’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 6th

I’m currently at my son’s place, looking after his cat and dog while he and his wonderful bride, Jess, enjoy their honeymoon. Though I don’t have my usual setup here, I felt compelled to share a New Year’s message for 2025. This year invites us to wake up, step up, and rise to the challenges before us. Whether it feels like a storm of adversity or a gentle nudge, it’s an opportunity to reflect, empower ourselves, and extend that empowerment to others. Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness, compassion, and action, lighting the way for a brighter, more united future. Let’s embrace this year with purpose and an open heart, nurturing the strength and love within ourselves to inspire the world around us.

A new pattern must emerge—a transformative shift to create a better future. This change begins with us: changing our practices, our environment, and our sense of community. It’s a journey that starts within.

As we step into 2025, amidst the storms and uncertainties around us, I urge you to find peace and center within yourself. Reflect on your role, your contribution, and what you can do to uplift others. But first and foremost, be there for yourself. Embrace your inner wisdom—your heart, soul, and spirit. Nurture the essence of who you are so that you can be a beacon for someone else.

I look forward to the year ahead, bringing you incredible interviews with voices that inspire and uplift. My new shows begin next week, and I am deeply immersed in creating Our Forgotten Seniors. This book will honor the contributions, struggles, and wisdom of seniors while addressing the changes needed to redefine what it means to age with dignity and purpose.

If you or someone you know would like to be part of this meaningful project—sharing stories, insights, and ideas for a better future for seniors—please reach out to me at selfdiscoverywisdom@gmail.com.

Together, let’s take a deep breath, envision the future, and step forward with purpose and unity.

Until next time,
Sara Troy

C24-50. Lisa Cheek, “SIT, CINDERELLA, SIT”.


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Lisa Cheek, on air form December 10th

Lisa Cheek, author of SIT, CINDERELLA, SIT: A Mostly True Memoir

A debut memoir of midlife adventure proving that magic can happen when you dare to believe in yourself, see and hear beyond cultural differences, and open your heart to a dog  

“With a quick-witted tone and the creative lens of a gifted filmmaker, Lisa Cheek takes us through the mid-life resurrection of a woman who isn’t afraid to make her own way. In the end, she reminds us that we aren’t meant to do life solo and that true surrender requires far more strength than weakness.”

Julie Cantrell, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Perennials.

SIT, CINDERELLA, SIT: A Mostly True Memoir by Lisa Cheek is a humorous, heartfelt story of reinvention and self-discovery. At 45, after being abruptly fired from her successful career editing TV commercials in LA, Lisa faces an unexpected crossroads. Just when she’s ready to give up, she’s offered a job editing a Mandarin-language film about the original Cinderella story, filmed in rural China. With no knowledge of the language or a clear idea of what lies ahead, Lisa takes a bold leap into the unknown.

Living in rustic conditions near the Tibetan border, Lisa contends with cultural barriers, homesickness, and the unpredictable world of filmmaking. Along the way, she forms meaningful friendships with her translator, Max, and the young star of the film, Sunny. From celebrating her dreaded birthday with a cake fight to rediscovering her purpose by rescuing a neglected dog named Cinderella, Lisa’s journey transforms her in unexpected ways.

Told with humor, poignant flashbacks, and a fairy-tale lens, Lisa’s memoir reminds us that magic happens when you step outside your comfort zone, look beyond cultural differences, and dare to believe in yourself. Readers will be enchanted by this inspiring tale of resilience, adventure, and the universal language of hope.

Then, reality hit. This Cinderella story would be told entirely in Mandarin—the only language spoken by every member of the cast and crew, except for Lisa and her assistant/translator, Max. And it would be filmed on ancient locations in extremely rustic and remote villages near the Tibetan border.
