BB26-22 Cate Rainy Arnold is Branding from the Heart.

June 1, 2026June 2, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Cate Rainy Artnold, on air from June 3rd.

I help business owners when they get stuck in branding miscommunication. I often find business owners are struggling to attract the right target audience to their business, customers are confused about what services they offer, or they are making assumptions about the business based on the branding. The root of all of these issues is a visual miscommunication. Often we will visually judge a logo or branded item in about 5 seconds based on colour alone. I help purpose-driven businesses create brands that clearly communicate who you are, what you stand for, and connect you to people who truly value your work. I do this by understanding the core emotional feeling that we want their target audience to feel when looking at their logo, print collateral or illustrations. This visual realignment builds trust with their customers and confidence in the businesses professionalism. It’s a similar feeling to put on a great fitting outfit for a networking meeting that you feel confident in for your business. I want business owners to feel confident about how they visually show up in their business.

A brief narrative of where you started, how you arrived at your current work, and who you are behind the profession.

I started as a visual artist, I was very excited and engaged with my art classes in school. I got a bachelors in graphic design and worked for an agency after school. I decided to start my own business and recently transitioned from part-time running my business to full-time business owner of Cate Rainy Creative. As a business owner, it’s given me the flexibility to work with my strengths and my weaknesses to schedule my days how I like. I also love that I created this business that’s queer and neurodivergent friendly as I’m deeply connected to these communities. This is where my passion for advocacy and business blends into one.

26-22. Graduating Through Life

June 1, 2026May 27, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air June 2nd

Graduation is not just about caps, gowns, diplomas, or walking across a stage. Graduation is life’s way of saying, “You have grown beyond where you once were.”

Right now, thousands of young people are stepping out of schools and into a world that feels uncertain, demanding, exciting, and sometimes overwhelming. They are told they must know who they are, what they want, and where they are going. But truthfully, life is not a straight staircase, it is a series of graduations.

We graduate from innocence into awareness.
From fear into courage.
From limitation into possibility.
From surviving into living

From doubt to clarity

And the beautiful thing is, we never stop graduating.

For our young people, this moment can feel both thrilling and terrifying. Some are celebrating with certainty, while others are silently asking themselves, “What now?” Some are stepping into university, trades, travel, work, or entrepreneurship. Others are simply trying to figure out who they are in a world constantly telling them who they should be.

But perhaps the greatest graduation is not academic at all.

It is the graduation into self.

The moment we stop living only by expectation and begin listening to our own knowingness. The moment we understand that success is not merely measured by money, titles, followers, or status, but by whether we are becoming whole within ourselves.

Life itself is an ongoing upscaling.

Each challenge asks us to grow larger than the fear.
Each heartbreak asks us to deepen in compassion and understanding.
Each failure asks us to become wiser and listen in.
Each success asks us to become more responsible with our gifts and use them wisely.

Upscaling is not about becoming “better than” others. It is about becoming more fully aligned with who we truly are.

For many graduates today, the pressure is immense. Social media has created a world of comparison where people feel behind before they have even begun. Yet every soul has its own timing, its own curriculum, its own classroom of growth.

Some people graduate early in wisdom.
Some graduate through adversity, lack of health, wealth, connection .
Some through loss and fear, facing the inner devil.
Some through service, understanding their unique role in life.
Some through love, self love , love of life, love of whom you serve in life.

And many adults listening today may realize they too are graduating right now, from old beliefs, old careers, old identities, old wounds, or old limitations

Life keeps calling us forward.

Perhaps we need to stop asking children, “What are you going to do?” and instead ask, “Who are you becoming?”

Because when people know who they are, what they do begins to align naturally.

This show is a celebration not only of school graduates, but of every person willing to rise into the next version of themselves. Every person choosing growth over stagnation. Every person brave enough to begin again.

Graduation is not an ending.
It is an invitation.

An invitation to explore.
To discover.
To stumble and rise again.
To trust your own voice.
To bring your gifts to the world.
To understand that life itself is a continual education of the soul.

And no matter your age, you are never too old to upscale your life, your thinking, your compassion, your purpose, or your dreams.

So to all graduates of every age and stage of life:

May you walk forward not in fear of the unknown, but in curiosity of what is possible.
May you understand that your worth is not dependent on perfection.
May you remember that every experience is shaping your wisdom.
And may you always allow life to keep graduating you into greater awareness, service, and truth.

Because the real diploma in life is not paper.
It is the wisdom we embody.

C26-20. Liz Goll Lerner. Action to Calling

May 18, 2026May 22, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Liz Goll Lerner, on air from May 19th

The Journey of Becoming: From Inner Saboteurs to Soulful Strength

There are several ways that I came to the realm of healing and helping. I have long believed that whatever has been a struggle in my life, that I have been able to overcome, has within it some knowledge or experience that can help another find their own way through their difficulty or transformation.

The keys I have uncovered that I believe are the most significant in any life journey are: Being present to the WHEN we are living; Integrating the head and the heart; Learning how to have healthy boundaries; and Learning how to communicate that which is our truth.

I could speak for hours about parts of self, the archetypes that are our saboteurs or champions, and the specialness of finding the true spark that makes us know without a doubt that we are meant to be here. And that, the spark, although it sounds the hardest to people, is really the simplest, because we were born with it. The rest is taught.

For me, seeking, knowing there was more than the obvious, more than the physical world, made me a seeker – going deep early on. My own trials and tribulations, insecurities, and struggles were abundant- as was my strength. Life, specifically early trauma, taught me strength, fear, survival, self-preservation, and the ways to move on and eventually heal. That has made me the clinician I have been. Add wisdom and a great education to that, and the tools I have to help are immense.

Early stories of my work and the inspiration it brought are many, but later expanding the work by recognizing that I could integrate my knowledge of energy, medicine, mind/body, and an individual’s strengths as healing tools led to a more exciting and full methodology. I love to help people think outside the box, understand their early conditioning, and create the life they want to live and explore the work they are meant to do in the world.

I began as a teenage seeker. Majored in Anthropology, Art History, and Studio Art in College. I chose to go to graduate school in Art Therapy and become a licensed and board-certified art therapist because of one little boy, whom I met doing field work, who was afraid to go home because he lived on a dangerous street.

I’ve been working as a transformational coach and psychotherapist for over 40 years. I’ve worked in inpatient and outpatient psychiatry. I have a private coaching practice and a separate clinical private practice. Over the years, I created multiple psycho educational courses for men, women, involving readings, meditations, conversation- an exciting experience for all, including me. I work extensively with couples as well as all relationships. How we communicate is key as is how we feel about ourselves and couples. I’ve studied theosophy, multiple spiritual teachings, energy modalities, and neuroscience. I have come now to be working and playing in the sacred. Because all of this work we do with each other is simply sacred.

BB26-16. Ashley Huegi & Go-Bundance Women

April 20, 2026April 13, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Ashley Huegi, on air from April 21st.

Keynote Speaker | Founder, The AND Life™ | Vice President of Growth & Impact, GoBundance Women

My “why” was born from burnout. I followed the rules, built success, and checked the boxes— yet felt disconnected from myself, my family, and the life I was working so hard to build. Through that breaking point, I discovered that success without alignment quietly erodes our joy, health, and sense of self. Today, my purpose is to help women remember who they are beneath the hustle, reconnect with what truly matters, and build lives and businesses that feel grounded, meaningful, and whole. I believe women were never meant to choose between ambition and presence—we were built for both.
