25-48. Musical Ai Art

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

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

When two guests had to cancel their shows due to family emergencies, I felt called to fill the space with something that has been medicine for my own spirit: the cinematic AI art and music of Kelly Boesch. Her work weaves human performers, exquisite styling, and generative AI into dreamlike visual poems that take you beyond the limits of the physical world and into a realm where imagination, soul, and sound move as one. For me, her videos are a form of meditation. The music soothes my nervous system, lifts my spirit, and quiets my mind, while the imagery awakens that childlike sense of wonder and reminds me that we are so much more than our human limitations.

In this episode, I talk about traveling beyond the white walls of our lives—how music, art, nature, breath, and imagination can help us step out of the weight of the body and into the spaciousness of our own divine essence. I share how darkness is not our enemy when we remember that we are the light in it, and how practices like music, movement, creativity, or simple stillness can bring us back home to the core of our being—where peace, love, and wisdom reside. Music, especially, is frequency that can reset our equilibrium, help us transcend the noise of daily life, and reconnect us to that “out of body, in spirit” place.

This show is an invitation: explore Kelly’s AI art and notice where it takes you, and then ask yourself, What does that for me? What sound, image, practice, or place transports you into your center, into that timeless, spacious, loving field within? Because when you find your own “music”—whatever form it takes—you find your doorway back home to peace.

This all started when I became so unfulfilled and depressed in my day to day life, the continuous
hampster wheel.
I had spent 27 years in Residential construction, in charge of Large scale projects and many
guys working under me. I always climbed the ladder even though I Had no tickets in my field.
I was so tired of it all and one day decided to start selling ALL of my Construction stuff, tools,
truck, tool trailer, so that I had to say no to anymore construction jobs.
In that time I became an Artist on 11-22-2022 and began doing scroll saw work and in 3 years I
have pieces east to west coast USA and Canada
My interest in tarot flourished and have done reading for people around the globe and now offer
other healing modalities such as Soundbath Healing ceremonies with my Partner Angela.
Our mission is to help others find the power within Themselves to transform.
To redefine Impossible to I’m-Possible.

AK25-47. A Complete Fiction by R.L. Maizes

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

An Author’s Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest R.L. Maizes, on air from November 25th

 A Complete Fiction  Told in a humorous vein, R.L. examines the very serious questions of who has a right to tell a story, and has cancel-culture gone too far in our social media–drenched world?

With little evidence, would-be author P.J. Larkin serves a “nibble” on the trendy new social media app Crave, accusing editor George Dunn of stealing the novel she submitted to him for publication. The nibble shoots to the top of the site’s Popular Menu Items, and before you can say “unpaid literary labor,” George is embroiled in a scandal, his job and book deal in jeopardy. P.J. ‘s novel is snapped up amid the publicity, but has she revealed her sister Mia’s secrets in the book? Some diners on Crave think so, and now it’s P.J.’s turn to feel the public’s scorn.

Fiction can give us a breather from the relentless churn of the news, and A Complete Fiction does just that—offering a thoughtful look at serious issues while keeping readers laughing along the way. Its very creation carries a touch of irony: a book critiquing the intrusiveness of social media must still rely on those same platforms for promotion. The author explores what makes social media so objectionable to her, from its noise to its pressure, while also touching on the quieter indignities of the writing life—like receiving the dreaded “remaindered” letter for earlier books.

Why she had her husband block her social media accounts for her while she wrote the book

AK25-47. Age of Consent by Mark Thompson

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Mark Thomson, on air from November 25th

Age of Consent is a daring, tender novel that challenges assumptions about romance, power, and the boundaries of first love—its risks, its sweetness, and its lingering imprint. Mark Thompson delivers a story that resists easy judgment and stays with you. As Sonia Pilcer notes, the book moves not through scandal but through humanity—where desire, conscience, and vulnerability collide.

M.J. Moore adds that this is no “Mrs. Robinson” trope but an unorthodox, mythic love story set in the experimental seventies, where kindred spirits meet beyond stereotype.

A provocative coming-of-age romance, Age of Consent follows fifteen-year-old Rusty Rasmussen and 24-year-old Carla Levy, whose bond over music and social justice evolves into a clandestine relationship once Rusty turns sixteen—the legal age of consent. Their connection raises enduring questions about responsibility, authenticity, and the rules we impose on love.

Reminiscent of One Day and Call Me By Your Name, Thompson offers a raw male perspective on taboo love and asks:
– Can infatuation grow into something real?
– Can such a relationship survive judgment?
– How do we recognize a first love that lasts?
– What role should age differences play—then or now?

Bold and emotionally honest, Age of Consent explores how love defies boundaries. “When love carries a power imbalance, we are playing with fire,” Thompson says. “That fire can destroy or illuminate.” Drawing from his own experience loving an older woman, he notes, “True romantic love can overcome any boundary or obstacle.”

25-47.Knowingness in Business

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 25 th

Last night, I gave a talk on Knowingness in Business, reminding us how far we’ve drifted from trusting our instincts in a world driven by rules, data, and pressure. I shared how knowingness — the soul’s wisdom moving through the heart, speaking through the spirit, and giving the mind clarity — is our most reliable guidance system. When leaders listen to it, decisions come faster, stress drops, partnerships align, and unnecessary drama fades.

I talked about the difference between data that informs us and wisdom that transforms us, and how the body signals truth through expansion, ease, and breath, while contraction and tension reveal misalignment. Knowingness follows a simple rhythm: feel first, know second, act third. It requires alignment of heart, mind, soul, spirit, and body, and flourishes when we pause, breathe, and create moments of stillness.

I also shared the cost of ignoring intuition — burnout, misaligned partnerships, lost peace — and offered ways to strengthen knowingness: journaling yeses and nos, stepping back before committing, allowing timing to unfold, and honoring what feels right even when it defies logic.

To bring it home, I shared my own story of losing everything through misplaced trust, only to be guided into podcasting — the path I was meant to walk. That journey taught me resilience, patience, courage, and absolute faith in my internal compass.

Today, I am fully aligned with my knowingness, and because of that, doors are opening naturally and effortlessly. I encouraged everyone to trust that same inner wisdom — because when we honor it, clarity rises, stress falls away, and life becomes beautifully peaceful.

The Knowingness Poem

Knowingness isn’t loud.
It doesn’t argue, debate, or insist.
It rises — quietly — from the deep places where your soul, heart, spirit, and mind meet.

It’s that gentle click inside you when something is true.
The warmth in the chest when something is aligned.
The tightening in the gut when something is off.
The stillness in the mind when the next step is simply known.

Knowingness is your internal compass:
steady, ancient, endlessly guiding.

It speaks before logic catches up.
It whispers before the mind constructs its reasons.
And it reveals clarity at the exact moment you need it — no sooner, no later.

When you tune into it…
your choices sharpen,
your path steadies,
and life stops pushing against you and begins moving with you.

Knowingness is the soul’s intelligence
flowing through the heart,
igniting the spirit,
and delivering clarity to the mind.

It’s not magic.
It’s not guesswork.
It’s the truth that already lives within you —
waiting for you to listen.
