Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 25th
Last week my 2nd Grandson was born with complications and is still in ICU. I have been looking after my 1st Grandson, who is two years old, while his parents are still in the hospital.
This is why you are not getting any new shows from me for a couple of weeks; I will be back, but my family comes first. So I have gathered some shows from the past, many of them, for your listening while I am away. First, we have anti-bulLying shows. Each guest has gone through hell but has come out stronger, more empowered, and richer in spirit because of it.
Cancer is still a growing desease and there are so many ways to challenge it and heal fully from it. These shows are on how they beat their cancer, but also the gift it gave them alone the way.
The dreaded Fibromyalgia and all that it brings. It is a desease we have to manage, understand and learn to live with. Educating family and friends on this is needed in order to be supportive of those that live with it daily.
These are shows done with international men and women who are changing the global climate around climate change. Each person has stepped up to be that change and are dedicated to encouraging our global sociaety to change its ways that is kinder to our planet and our future survival.

Sara’s View Of Life with Sara Troy on air from April 18th
I can’t wait to meet him, my little Louie, my second Grandson. He is to be born April 19th by c-section, and we are on tender hooks with excitment and some concern as my little boy has Down syndrome. The concern is for his health as until he is born we do not know if he will have any health challenges, but what ever they are, we as a whole family will face them and love this boy to bits.
It was confirmed a day before my daughters birthday that he was a child with down syndrome. The next morning a 5am (as my other grandson is an early riser) my daughter wrote this out to us all with this picture, of whaich I find so profound and beautiful.
Tasha and RoRo
It’s been a hard couple of weeks grappling with the news that our baby to come will have down syndrome. I’ve shed a lot of tears, but I’m sure that one day when I am doing something seemingly meaningless together with him that I won’t know what I was so worried about.
There is a lot of unknown, but there were never any guarantees and never will be.
Some people may feel lucky that this isn’t their story or their family, and that is okay; I get it; I want you to feel lucky because you are.
But so are we.
My capacity to love unconditionally has already grown more than I could imagine, and I hope I am a better person to all of you because of it.
I post this because when and if you see us, I hope you can congratulate us and greet us with joy, not pity. We’re better than okay. I will continue to lead with strides of love each day for this little human, who I know will light up whatever room he’s in.
Anyway, enjoy some blurry 5am photos of my family.
I am her Mama Sara and Grandma to these beautiful boys, am so proud of my daughter and her view on this child to come. Love is a healer, an uniter, and a teacher to us all, and I know that her love will be all of that.
I have always know my daughter to be strong, she is a no nonsense fun loving soul caring intuitive woman who can see things at the root and deal with it step by step. I think little Louie picked her for this reason. His father is if a wonderful hands on in everything dad and so supportive of my daughter in every way. I know both my Grandsons are lucky to have such attentive loving parents.
We do not know with Louie the new born, what challenges we will face with him, but we will all do it together as a whole family, filled to the brim with love, caringness and passion to see these boys grow up strong, happy, healthy, and living truly in their own divine spirited essence.
For now for a while I take of my podcasting hat, and I place my Grandma hat on, and be there for my daughter, son in law and my Grandsons in any way I can, and obsorb as much grabdbaby times as I can get.
I leave you with over 3000 shows to listen to and thousands of hours of wisdom until I get back to interviewing again. I will try inbetween Baba’s getting a show in here and there, but my focus is on my family and getting to know my little Louie, suporting my daughter and making sure little RoRo, does not feel left out but embrace the joy of being a big brother.
Keep coming back to my site (audio platforms) as I will be posting older shows from Soundcloud to the rest of the platforms too. Wisdom never dies, and is always there for someone who needs it on their journey in life.
LITTLE LOUIE WAS BORN 8TH HOUR APRIL 19TH AT 7LB 8 ONZ. HE GOT A BROKEN FEMUR FROM THE C-SECTION, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, HE IS HEALTHY LITTLE BOY.

Quantum Spirituality with Sara Troy and her guest Tom Paladino, on air April 18th
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, is a member of the herpes virus family. It is one of the most common human viruses. EBV is found all over the world. Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives. EBV spreads most commonly through bodily fluids, primarily saliva. EBV can cause infectious mononucleosis, also called mono, and other illnesses.
Scalar light negates the molecular bonds of the Epstein-Barr virus causing the infectious agent to disassemble and cease to exist. Scalar light is able to disassemble any virus.
Scalar energy is the fundamental life force found everywhere in the world, space and universe. It originates from the sun and stars. Chi, prana, OM, mana, life force, pyramid energy or zero-point energy are synonymous terms for scalar energy.
Scalar energy is the fundamental life force found everywhere in the world, space and universe. It originates from the sun and stars. Chi, prana, OM, mana, life force, pyramid energy or zero-point energy are synonymous terms for scalar energy. I began research with scalar energy during my undergraduate years. Inspired by various scientists, especially Nikola Tesla (a genius who invented alternating current), I was curious to learn more about the existence of an energy that was not of the electromagnetic spectrum. I pursued a course of independent study in order to better understand and subsequently harness scalar energy, as this emerging science is not taught at the university level. One of my scientific predecessors was Dr. T. Galen Hieronymus, one of the few scalar energy researchers in the United States in the last century. I read Galen’s notes and used his scalar energy instruments after his death. Some of Galen’s inventions, according to a 1977 magazine article, were “quasielectronic instruments that could (a) analyze the component elements of an ore sample without spectroscopic, chemical or other orthodox methods, and, most surprising of all, (b) influence (even kill) living organisms, even from vast distances, with no scientifically understandable mechanism at the other end.” I theorized that all energy in the universe initiates as scalar energy; and that the Sun of our solar system and the stars of the universe are the points of origin, “the storehouses,” for scalar energy. I further theorized that scalar energy is instructive energy, as the entire universe is instructed by this Divine Essence.
Paladino’s life’s work has been the pursuit of a device to concentrate and direct Scalar Energy, work that was initiated by scientists Nikola Tesla and Galen Hieronymous. Scalar Energy is often called prana, chi, zero point energy, qi or orgone–an unseen and unmeasurable quantum energy in the body and throughout the physical world. It was when Hieronymous’ widow Sara revealed to Paladino private notes from the world-renowned scientist and allowed him to see the inner workings of their initial instruments that the foundation was laid for Paladino’s acclaimed new system that was first brought online in 2012.

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Lisa Wilkes, on air from April 18th
As far back as I can remember, I eagerly participated in charitable ventures. This stems from being an extreme empath—it wasn’t intentional, exactly, but I always searched for ways to better the lives of those around me. Sometimes it seems I have a special built-in antenna that allows me to sense any suffering within a five-mile radius. Then I take all the necessary steps to alleviate that suffering, even if it means staying awake for nights on end or working myself to the bone.
I clearly recall saving an injured bunny rabbit when I was seven years old. I found the wounded bunny on the playground at school. My first instinct was to carry the rabbit home, gently, in the safe and plush fabric of my lunchbag. Then I brough the bunny to the vet for immediate medical attention.
When I was nine, I wrote a guest editorial in the local newspaper (I grew up in the Chicagoland area, in a town called Glenview) listing all nearby animal rescues in need of donations, should any youngsters have extra money to spare from birthdays or recent holiday gifts.
It never really occurred to me to do anything other than help out wherever I could, whether that meant assisting animals or humans. The thing is, most folks seem to be deeply interested in personal gain, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s great to strive for bigger, better, more ambitious goals. It is wonderful to challenge ourselves, reaching for impressive new goals, and expand our horizons. But, for me, the motivation was different. I always accepted a fresh new challenge with the underlying intent to help others through its completion.
Throughout middle school and high school, I tutored my peers in all subjects four to five days per week. I stayed late after school, trying my best to explain lessons they were struggling to understand. My parents are both educators, so I suppose I was born to appreciate academia! I loved my classes, which made me quite nerdy. But I was a compassionate nerd, eager to help my classmates. At my twentieth high school reunion last year, a beautiful and brilliant friend of mine named Sheena reminded me of the time I rode four miles on my bike to deliver her missed assignments when she was out sick from school for a week. I had forgotten that incident! But it definitely sounds like me. I think finding ways to help others is a source of fuel for my soul. It is my sustenance. My internal batteries are charged through acts of service.
Fast-forward to college, where I created and launched a brand-new mentorship program linking University of Florida students to disadvantaged students in the nearby elementary school. I received the Member of the Year award for my university’s philanthropy club, and went on to complete two years of full-time service with AmeriCorps (the domestic version of the Peace Corps). I built houses in conjunction with homeless families. I also prepped adolescents for their next chapter of life by tutoring high school dropouts, to help them pass their GED exam so they could pursue higher education or more advanced work opportunities. 90% of my students passed the exam that year, which was astonishing and really impressive.
My main areas of concern are animal rescue and basic human rights. I have watched this nation become increasingly divisive and hateful over the past few years. Sure, there was always bigotry brewing right below the surface, and ethnic minorities as well as the LGBTQ+ community were often subject to its wrath. But it feels as though hate was given a special platform on which to thrive. Since 2016, I have seen the harm caused to those who are most vulnerable. Violence has been inflicted on ethnic minorities for no reason other than the color of their skin, and these injuries are more public than ever, thanks to modern technology and cell phone footage. Yet I haven’t seen a huge societal shift toward equality, not yet anyway. It seems many politicians and subsets of society are more determined than ever to deny racism’s existence. Here in Florida, teachers are no longer allowed to present American history. They have to adhere to a strict set of standards and intentionally ignore any topics involving racial injustice. It’s frightening that repressive, power-hungry politicians are so thirsty for support that they are wiling to pander to society’s most extreme white supremacists. Frankly, it scares the hell out of me. My newest novel, Mid-Flight, addresses racial injustice in no uncertain terms. I wanted to remind the world that there are consequences to this type of unacceptable discrimination and marginalization. My fictional novel intends to serve as a warning and a reminder that action is needed from each one of us, within our own individual spheres, if we hope to attain the equality and dignity which has—shamefully!—been denied to people of color.
I also noticed blatant attacks on women and the LGBTQ+ community. This is another theme of my newly-released novel, Mid-Flight. When Texas cracked down on women’s rights, restricting medical care and basic autonomy for women, I stepped into action, Quickly. My social work clients and those I had met through my nonprofit work were suffering so much. Women who were raped, harassed, and threatened were suddenly denied the right to control their own bodies. It was a slap in the face after already enduring unspeakable trauma, and I could not watch these individuals suffer immensely at the hands of misogynistic politicians and narrow-minded extremists. So I launched my own project, with the help of a fellow social worker. We created a website providing information and resources to women who no longer had any access to medical care. We shared transportation networks, contact information, and helpful tips to those whose rights had been stripped overnight. In addition, I threw myself into every volunteer opportunity offered by Planned Parenthood. I spent hours making care kits for men and women in low-income communities. I met with leaders to discuss ways we could expand our reach and help even more women. I hit the ground running, long before that egregious decision was announced by the Supreme Court in June of 2022.
Believe it or not, between writing books and pursuing my master’s degree and working as a flight attendant and fighting for human rights, I also immersed myself in the world of animal rescue. I began fostering homeless pets during the pandemic. Over the course of three years, I fostered 29 cats, two dogs, two birds, and a bunny. I am happy to report they all went to safe homes where they are currently living their best lives! In addition, I became a leader on my airline’s animal rescue team, SWATT, earlier this year. SWATT is a group of airline employees who use our travel benefits to fly rescued dogs and cats all around the country, to their new homes. The program is fully volunteer. It is so heartwarming to transport a rescued pet to its new family; I cry every single time! I can’t help it. It’s just so sweet to greet the new family and witness their eagerness to welcome this adorable furbaby into their home.
I believe this is a crucial moment in history. Every generation receives opportunities to protect those in need, but this present moment (right here and now, in each of our lives) feels like a critical turning point. We have witnessed incredible steps toward acceptance and compassion. Animal cruelty is now a felony here in America, and it’s about time! The bill passed unanimously in the Senate. There is a movement toward preserving our planet and ensuring ethical, sustainable harvesting of natural resources. Same-sex marriage and interracial marriage have finally been codified into law, after weighty opposition from those who stood to benefit from hate-fueled discrimination.
Yet there is so much work to be done. And I am eager to tout the importance of taking a stand in favor of compassion. In the animal rescue world, I constantly see animals who are tortured and killed. With a shattered heart, I continue my pursuit of rescuing as many homeless pets as possible.
And I know women, ethnic minorities, many within the LGBTQ+ community (especially trans individuals) who still cannot receive access to basic human rights, including medical care. I have watched my patients and friend suffer from re-traumatization of crimes committed against them. When those in power deny resources to the individuals who need it most, we all need to speak up. The responsibility rests on our shoulders to voice our concerns loudly, publicly, and without ceasing. We also need to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Through my novels, my work with nonprofits, and my actions within the community, that’s exactly what I intend to do.
