BB25-37. Dianne Crampton’s TIGERS Integration

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Dianne Crapmton, on air from September 16th

I started TIGERS because I wanted to understand what makes a group of people truly work well together. As a manager, I was discouraged by how much emphasis was placed on individual achievement while the potential of people collaborating with purpose was ignored. I’ve always believed that employees aren’t costs to be controlled—they’re the real stakeholders in an organization’s success. After all, we spend more of our waking hours at work than with our families, and that time should be meaningful. Through decades of research and 34 years of practice, I’ve proven there is a much better way. When trust, interdependence, genuineness, empathy, risk resolution and shared success guide how we work, teams achieve extraordinary results—and people end their days feeling engaged, valued, and proud of what they’ve built together.

TSM25-37. Stephanie L. Maley, “No Longer That Girl”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy with guest Stephanie L. Maley, on air from September 16th

“No Longer That Girl takes hard topics and turns them into palpable illumination. This story is proof that we can transform our wounds into love and healing. Sometimes we need to look into our past in order to move forward in our lives. Not everyone has the courage to be so self-honest, but Steph delivers her truth with hope to live by.” 

Through writing, Stephanie confronts her past with compassion, embracing the child she once was and the woman she’s become. Her journey weaves together stories of abandonment, serious health struggles, and deeply traumatic encounters with men she trusted. Supported by her therapist, husband, and faith, she unravels the betrayals that shaped her need to please and her longing to be loved—ultimately finding her voice, her power, and her joy.

25-36. Colour Me Alive

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from September 9th

My son-in-law recently colorized old photographs of my mother and father, and in doing so, it felt as if he had brought them back to life. Both were just 27 years old in these images, and seeing them this way gave me a deeper glimpse into who they were at that moment in time.

Before meeting my father, my mother had been married and had a daughter, my half-sister. She met my father after her divorce, when my sister was six years old, and he apparently proposed to her on the spot.

My brother arrived first, and I came along five years later. Yet, our parents I knew were not quite the same as the radiant couple in these photos. I want to remember them like this, happy, in love, carefree, and embracing life together.

Sadly, that happiness was not to last. My father, a squadron leader and fighter pilot during the war, carried the heavy burden of trauma with no counsel or support to help him heal. He never did find that healing, and died at the age of 45 years old. My mother, too, endured a difficult path, from a life of luxury in India to one of poverty in London, and as the seventh child, she faced her own hardships. Her first marriage had been dreadful and frightening, leaving scars she never spoke of. They both survived their pasts in silence, but those unspoken wounds inevitably wove themselves into the fabric of their marriage.

We all have a photograph tucked away somewhere that captures a happy moment, a memory that lights us up from within. These are the images we should carry in our hearts, holding onto that feeling, so it’s never lost. At the same time, we must remember not to let the hardships of life turn into unspoken wounds. If pain is never voiced or faced, it can quietly weave itself into our days, shaping our lives in ways we never intended.

For me, it’s the newly colorized images of my parents at twenty-seven, radiant and in love. I choose to carry that memory in my heart, letting it remind me of the beauty they once shared. Life, of course, brought them struggles, as it does for us all. But I’ve learned that if we speak of our pain, face it, and let it go, it doesn’t have to define us. Unspoken wounds can quietly shape our lives, but when we give them voice, we free ourselves to live fully and keep our hearts open to joy.

Here’s to keeping the beauty alive in our hearts, no matter what the years may bring.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

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.

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.

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

Sara Troy

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.
