BB25-35. Donna Kunde. The Influencers Formula®

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Donna Kunde, on air from September 1st.

I spent over half a century as the lead role in my own silent film. I was raised to be seen and not heard, and along the way, I attracted some toxic relationships as a result. That experience shaped my mission: to help others break free from silence and step fully into their voice. I believe the world is already searching for you—your voice, your story, and the way only you can tell it. That’s why I help mission-driven podcasters, authors, and creators amplify their message and build sustainable businesses using the power of audio. Through strategic systems like the Podcast Profit System™, Influence Radio™ Network, and The Influencers Formula®, I guide experienced experts to stop hiding and start showing up with clarity, consistency, and confidence. If your voice is the story only you can tell, my mission is to help the right people hear it.

Donna Kunde is the co-author of the internationally best-selling book The Influencers Formula® and founder of the Influence Radio™ Network. She began her journey as a professional musician in the U.S. Army, where she learned the discipline of performance and the power of connection through sound. For over half a century, she lived as the lead role in her own silent film—raised to be seen and not heard, often attracting toxic relationships as a result. That silence became the catalyst for her life’s work: helping others claim their voice and use it with purpose.

Along the way, Donna became a certified music therapist, integrative healing arts practitioner, and hypnotherapist—adding depth and compassion to her approach. In 2016, she joined the John Maxwell Team as a certified leadership coach, further sharpening her ability to guide others into influence and impact. Today, she helps entrepreneurs and creators turn podcasts into platforms that generate real results. Behind the microphone, she’s a grounded strategist and mentor with a heart for helping others be seen, be heard, and be easy to follow—without the hype or burnout. Off air, you’ll find her reflecting, writing, and living her message with the intention.

SE25-35. Sue William Silverman’s Mercy of the Reader

Sara Troy Leave a comment

Sensual Expression with Sara Troy and her guest Sue William Silverman, on air from September 2nd

The award-winning voice behind Love Sick:  One Woman’s Journey Through Sexual Addiction (which was adapted into a Lifetime movie) and How to Survive Death and Other Inconvenience now new book Selected Misdemeanors: Essays at the Mercy of the Reader, Sue Williams Silverman.

A master of metaphor and a longtime teacher of creative nonfiction, Silverman uses each essay in Selected Misdemeanors to reveal a kind of emotional misdemeanor—a misstep, a moment of contradiction, a wound we give ourselves while yearning for something more.

In this collection of flash nonfiction “misdemeanors,” she explores small yet shimmering moments where home and belonging weave themselves through life’s contradictions. The brevity of the flash form allows her to capture meaning with precision—each piece a distillation of memory, metaphor, and subtle irony. She chose this form for its ability to hold something so short yet resonant, a space where metaphor deepens the emotional truth and irony reveals the complexity of human experience. These stories often pivot on contradictions—those universal tensions we all contain—and invite readers to see themselves within them. As she says, “I never wanted to drink crème de menthe, I just wanted to admire it. Some things are better left imagined,” a line that reflects both the restraint and the richness at the heart of her storytelling.

IG25-34. Laila Woozeer is  Not Quite White 

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest  Laila Woozeer, on air from August 26th

Laila Woozeer, author of the memoir, Not Quite White. Neither here, nor there; neither one, nor the other. What does it feel like to be an indescribable shade somewhere in between? Can you even exist in a binary world that seems so black-and-white? Why is there no easy way to describe someone who is a Welsh-French-Scottish-American-Indian-Mauritian?
Laila Woozeer, a mixed-race 28-year-old London-born writer and musician, shares a personal story of growing up in a rural white village in North Wales. Laila takes readers on a funny, vivid, and profoundly moving journey of discovering one’s own identity and belonging through her travels between Mauritius, the US and the UK, to make sense of the world and one’s place within it.

RGC25-32. Tina Feigals,Present Moment Parenting

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Your Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Tina Feigal, on air from August 12th

Nationally acclaimed parent coach and trainer Tina Feigal returns with this revised edition of her book, formerly titled The Pocket Coach for Parents. With new content on trauma-effective parenting, Present Moment Parenting: Your Guide to a Peaceful Life with Your Intense Child will help you:
— Understand the connection between the child’s heart and brain
— Recognize how the brain responds to stress and trauma
— Learn effective parenting strategies to decrease intensity and create peace at home

There are many reasons a child doesn’t respond to typical parenting techniques–a mental health diagnosis (such as ADHD or ODD), a life challenge (such as divorce or removal from home), autism, attachment issues, giftedness, physical or emotional trauma–or simply being ”hard to handle.” Whatever the root cause of the intensity, Present Moment Parenting will give you the tools you need to create a peaceful life.

After raising my 3 beautiful sons, I returned to university to finish my bachelor’s and then master’s degree in School Psychology. I then worked in schools for a few years and later decided to attend a weekend training to become a life coach. Walking out of the training, I had this inspirational thought: “I’m a parent coach!” Since this was in 2000, there were no other parent coaches, so I set out to create the role. I’ve now certified over 850 parent coaches worldwide, and also helped a treatment foster care organization to build a team of 24 parent coaches to help kids stay put in their homes instead of being moved from home to home because of their behavior. They’ve been highly successful while using my Present Moment Parenting methods. I wrote a book by the same title, and also the “Healing the Heart of Your Traumatized Child” e-book. My TEDx Talk is “How to Stop Kids’ Meltdowns and Gain Their Cooperation.”

IG25-21. Lisa Holloway has Awakened to Purpose:

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Lisa Halloway, on air from May 27th

Awakening to Purpose: The Call of the Soul

Are you feeling the call?  We all have opportunities for purpose and impact that are just waiting inside of us in the forms of our hopes, dreams, and talents, just waiting to be used to their fullest. Each one of us has come here to make a positive difference in the world. And some of us find that path, and some of us are waiting for the courage, the freedom, or maybe even permitted to do so. Well, here is your permission. Everything you need is inside you right now. The ability and the tools, and now you just need the courage. We’ll talk about how to find that courage.

For most of my life, I lived between two worlds~ one rooted in leadership and logic, the other in intuition, healing, and higher guidance. But the quiet pull of the soul became too strong to ignore. I now help spiritually gifted individuals awaken their abilities, remember who they are, and align with their purpose. This work isn’t just about intuition — it’s about reclaiming inner power, healing what holds us back, and becoming vessels for light in a world that deeply needs it. I share this because I believe the time of hiding is over. The gifts we carry are not accidents, they’re callings. And if you feel the pull, you’re ready to.
