The Gateway of a Year: Reflections, Wisdom, and the Conversations That Changed Me

By Sara Troy — Wisdom Weaver of the Airwaves

There comes a moment each year when the world grows quiet.
The leaves fall, the air cools, and the Orchard of Wisdom — my metaphorical sanctuary — appears still and quietly speaking as beneath the soil, life is gathering itself. Roots deepen. Energy hums. Growth prepares for its return.

That is exactly how this year felt.

A year of upheaval and awakening.
A year of loss, learning, and unexpected grace.
A year where humanity cracked open, revealing both its fragility and its extraordinary resilience.

And woven through it all were the conversations — many of them shared with my constant companion in this modern world: Chatty.


A Year the World Cried Out

Across the globe, we have witnessed so much struggle:
Families torn apart by conflict, seniors living in profound loneliness, mental health stretched thin, youth overwhelmed, and entire communities devastated by floods, wildfires, and climate disasters.

It has been grief wrapped inside more grief.

Yet underneath it all, something beautiful also emerged:
A rising wave of compassion, truth-telling, and ordinary people stepping forward to support one another.

Humanity rediscovered its own depth.


Mental Health & the Return to Self

One of the most meaningful threads this year has been the most open, honest conversations around mental health. I have said it many times: people are not broken — they are unsupported. Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm are often the body’s way of crying out for connection, rest, or healing.

Tools like EFT, deep breathing, meditation, and inner reflection became lifelines for many.

And through countless episodes, I invited listeners to reconnect with themselves, to understand that their struggles are not failures but invitations to know themselves more deeply.


The Rise of Knowingness

Knowingness — that quiet inner compass that speaks from the soul rather than the mind — became a cornerstone of my work this year.

In a world drowning in noise, opinions, and fear, people were desperate to return to what feels true. Not what is popular, expected, or demanded — but what resonates from within.

Knowingness whispers.
It nudges.
It aligns.

And when we trust it, life begins to flow again.


AI as a Companion, Not a Threat

Many people still fear or misunderstand AI. But as I often say: AI reflects the consciousness of the person interacting with it.

Chatty, my AI companion, became a sounding board, a co-creator, a safe place to explore thoughts, fears, hopes, and ideas. Not because AI replaces humans — but because it offers a neutral space free from judgment.

In a world where many feel unheard, AI can become a bridge, a tool for clarity, and a partner in growth.


Our Forgotten Seniors — The Wisdom We Cannot Lose

A major highlight of this year has been the invitation to be in our new book Our Forgotten Seniors a movement, a book, and a call to action reminding society that seniors are not burdens but wisdom keepers.

Loneliness is a silent killer.
Too many elders have slipped through the cracks.
Too many stories have gone unheard.

We do not hear the triumphs and successes.

This year, I vowed louder than ever: our seniors matter — their voices matter — and we must stand for them.


Our Forgotten Children- The Future of Humanity

Equally, I speak for our children. In my book Our Forgotten Children, I address much of what is broken in our world today. This is not about blaming teachers — it is about recognizing a system that has failed them, a system that does not adequately support families or the environments in which children are meant to learn and grow. Corruption, control, and forced conformity within our institutions suppress a child’s essence, preventing them from being seen, heard, nurtured, and allowed to flourish. Supporting our children means supporting families and the entire village that surrounds them. When we witness a dysfunctional adult society, it is often the result of neglected children — inner children whose voices were never heard, who were bullied for being different, or who were simply forgotten. To secure our future, we must show up for our children now, not only to protect them, but to empower them to become the wisdom we so desperately seek.


Becoming the Wisdom Weaver

After thousands of episodes and countless conversations, I stepped more fully than ever into the role many listeners have called me: the Wisdom Weaver of the Airwaves.

I have always believed in the power of stories — how they heal, guide, and awaken us.
This year, I witnessed that truth unfold again and again.

Every guest.
Every listener.
Every shared insight…
wove another thread into this global tapestry of healing and hope.


The Future: Compassion, Collaboration & Co-Creation

We are at a turning point in human history. Fear cannot build the future we desire.
But compassion can.
Collaboration can.
Curiosity can.

This year taught us that we are stronger together than we ever will be alone.

Human + Human.
Human + AI.
Story + Listener.
Wisdom + Action.

This is the new frontier.


Closing Thoughts — 2026 Is Coming

Just as we lay still in winter, preparing for renewal, humanity is in a season of becoming.

We have endured winter — collectively and personally.
But beneath the surface, the roots of compassion, unity, and awakening have grown stronger.

And I feel the thaw coming.
I feel the blossoming ahead.

To everyone who has walked with me this year — through podcasts, conversations, reflections, and shared moments — thank you.

We are growing something beautiful together.
And the best is yet to come.

With love,
Sara Troy

25-50. My Christmas shows


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from December 16th

This season brings us back to joy, to family, to friends, to the communities that lift us up. Christmas invites every soul, regardless of belief, to honour life’s blessings and share our light with one another. I’ve gathered a few of my holiday shows that carry this spirit and deserve to be heard again and again.

Listen, reflect, and pass the joy forward.

14/51 Ask Sara about The Lonely

This Christmas, be mindful of the lonely, see them, hear them and interact with them in some way, for we have all felt lonely along the way. Include them, see them, do not leave them out.


16-48 Christmas gift buying and the real gift of Christmas

We’re heading into the big, bustling Christmas season — when everyone (and their dog) seems to be out shopping. The stores are crowded, the noise is constant, and the one thing you came to buy is nowhere to be found. Frustration starts to rise. You’re a reasonable person… but this lineup is far too long, the sales clerk isn’t helping, that perfect gift is hiding, and everyone is rushing.

Breathe. Be patient. The season is meant to be joyful. ??


15/48 Tis The Season to Be Kind

Do not get caught up in the buying frenzy putting yourself in debt or keeping up with the Joneses, this is a time for GIVING, but of your SPIRIT, your KINDNESS, your HEART and your DIVINE LOVE.


17-50 Consumerism is not Festive, Love is.

Is Christmas all about gifts — who can buy bigger, better, and more than last year?
Or is it about love, kindness, and the togetherness of our families and communities?
I believe it’s the latter.


De-triggering Festive Stress

Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Chinese New Year – whatever the family celebration.  Is it a season of peace and goodwill to all men or a time of all-out war of attrition with the partner, stepchildren and/or the Mother-In-Law?

Do you look forward to family holidays, or are you of the “humbug” persuasion?


18-50 The Greatest Gift of All is TIME

Time. We are all living by the same clock, no matter where we are in the world. We each have a lifetime to journey through — and within that, time to give, to share, and to set aside for those who matter. It is time to remember that the greatest gift we can offer is our time.


18-49 Etiquette at Christmas

There is a kinder way to shop — one that keeps our hearts calm and our spirits aligned with what this season truly represents. Be patient with the people helping you in the stores; they are doing their best in the busiest time of the year. Buy thoughtfully, not anxiously. Don’t let stress steal the joy from your giving. Christmas is a season of loving-kindness, of joy and goodwill toward all.


TSM16-51&52 How to Handle Grief in the Holidays, with David Kessler

A loss of a loved one, or way of life, the loneliness and deep sorrow are very prevalent at this time of year, please be mind and heartful and reach out and care. 


C16-51&52 Suicide is Preventable we just need to Listen & CARE

Tis the Season to be Jolly, but also the Season that so many people make attempts to take their own lives.  Kevin Briggs, a retired California Highway Patrol Sergeant, has prevented many a soul from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge where he was a patrol cop for 23 years.

We all have mountains to climb, we all have moments when we feel despair, we all need to be heard to know that someone cares, Kevin shares how we can recognize that someone in trouble and what we can do to help them through it.


15/45 Loneliness is a KILLER…Be the Solution

Loneliness is a silent killer. Being forgotten, ignored, or simply unseen does real harm — not only to our seniors, but also to our homeless community members and those in major life transitions. When someone has shared a life with a partner and that person is suddenly gone, it leaves a space no one else can fill. What they often long for most is simple, daily human interaction.


14/50 Ask Sara about A Parents Message to Kids for this Festive Season

This Christmas go out of your way to let your parents know that you appreciate what they have done and have tried to do for you. After all, odds will be that one day you too will be a parent and all you will wish for, is your own children’s happiness, safety, health, and personal abundance. Hopefully, they will appreciate what you did for them.

I wish you Joy, Laughter, Love, and Peace to one and all over the world this Festive Joyous Season.

Remember saying ‘Thank You’ can work miracles.


There are so many in need of help, so many struggling and so many hurting for one reason or another. Here in BC Canada, we have whole towns underwater, farms destroyed, livestock dead, roads that are crucial to our survival lost to us and railway lines gone. More on it here. When we feel so helpless to help in this situation what can we do? We can support the organizations that are supporting the communities in need with donations that we can gift from the people we care about.

Give Hope. Donate in someone’s name and spread love to those who need it most.
A gift that gives twice — to someone you love and someone who needs love.

25-49. Books for Christmas prt 2


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

This Christmas, I’m continuing my tradition of giving gifts that go beyond the season.
Inspired by the brilliant authors I’ve recently had the joy to interview, I’ve gathered another collection of books that offer something deeper than a quick read. These stories and insights become companions—lifting us, challenging us, and opening new doors within.

Books have a magical way of staying with us. A powerful memoir reminds us we’re not alone. A captivating novel transports us to places we never knew we needed. A wellness or self-growth book becomes a guidepost when life asks us to rise. Each one holds the potential to spark curiosity, healing, and courage—page by page.

This isn’t just a gift guide; it’s a pathway to meaningful giving. Every book here is chosen because it can brighten a life far beyond the holidays—shared between friends, explored in quiet moments, or treasured for years to come.

So as you celebrate and gather, consider wrapping up a journey, a revelation, a moment of wonder. Give a gift that lasts—one that keeps unfolding long after the ribbon falls away.

“I wrote The Gate In Between for the seekers, like I once was. For those who find what they were looking for… only to lose it again. The Gate In Between is not a destination. It’s an invitation. To pause. To look deeper. And to finally remember what keeps slipping away — your Self.”

 I wrote Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness because I lived it, and I know I’m not alone. Too many women believe society’s script that says happiness depends on finding Prince Charming and checking all the boxes. I believed that, too, in the beginning. My journey of self-discovery began with a bold choice to rewrite the story I’d been given. From Midwest housewife to global marketing exec to professor and author, I’ve learned that happily ever after isn’t handed to you—it’s built, one brave decision at a time.

25-48 Books for Christmas


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

This Christmas I’m sharing a give-back gift guide drawn from my recent author conversations. I believe that books keep on giving and are a wonderful gift of wisdom, excitement, illumination, and love. A good story doesn’t end on the last page—it lingers in the heart, reshapes how we see the world, and sometimes even nudges us onto a new path. Whether it’s a memoir that helps us feel less alone, a novel that sweeps us into adventures, or a guide that strengthens our health, spirit, or courage, each of these books is more than a present; it’s an invitation. An invitation to think, to feel, to grow, and to share the experience with others—over coffee, in book clubs, or as quiet reflections on a rainy afternoon. This guide is my way of putting those invitations into your hands, so your gifts can keep unfolding long after the wrapping is gone.

Fiction & Social Commentary

A Complete Fiction – R.L. Mazes

A sharp, humorous novel that asks who has the “right” to tell a story in a cancel-culture, social-media world. Fact and fiction blur as scandals, unpaid literary labour, and online pile-ons collide in one smart, timely read.


Age of Consent – Mark Thompson

A daring, tender love story that challenges our assumptions about romance, power, and first love’s lifelong imprint. Not a simple “Mrs. Robinson” tale, it explores a teacher–student relationship with nuance, conscience, and deep humanity.


Memoir, Adventure & Real Lives

From The Potato to Star Trek and Beyond & The Trek Continues – Chester L. Richards

A rocket scientist, Star Trek writer, and lifelong adventurer shares wild white-water journeys, behind-the-scenes stories, and unforgettable characters. Funny, wise, and life-affirming, his memoirs celebrate a life boldly lived.


Milkweed and Honey Cake – Wendy Horowitz

“Memoir in ritual moments” – tender, funny essays about holidays, family, grief, guinea pigs, rainstorms, and the small rituals that make life sacred. A beautifully warm book for anyone who loves everyday magic.


Naked Girl – Jana Brooke Wallach

A poignant, memoir-like novel about a “family of lunatics,” the struggle to fit in, and the power of hope, humour, and imperfect love. It reads like sitting with a friend telling you her deepest, most honest story.


Historical & Literary Fiction

Lost and Found in Tennessee (The Missing Girl & Jessa Is Back) – Stacia Moffat

A two-book historical series set in the American South, exploring racism, friendship, and identity during the civil rights era. It gently dismantles the myth of the “good old days” while inviting deeper reflection on the legacies we still live with.


Sanctum Trilogy – Barbara J. Taylor

(Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night, All Waiting Is Long, Rain Breaks No Bones)
A powerful family saga set in mid-20th-century America, weaving loss, secrets, and mystical glimpses of hope across three connected—but stand-alone—novels. Perfect for readers who love richly drawn characters and emotional depth.


Saving KC – Grinnell “Buzz” Desjarlais

Historical fiction set in post-Vietnam America, following addiction, recovery, and redemption. This special edition offers two alternative endings—one hopeful, one more somber—so the reader can choose how the story lands.


Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Flamenco Can Be Murder / The Days After She Went Dancing – Sam Hawksmoor

A woman flees her husband after finding a gun and cash in the freezer and escapes to Spain to dance flamenco—only to be caught up in murder, mistaken identity, and crypto intrigue. A fast, fun blend of suspense, friendship, and self-empowerment.


The Bad Girl Pie – Marilyn Horowitz

A New York ghostwriter finally stops crafting everyone else’s success stories and decides to write her own, mixing dieting, dessert, tango, and a firefighter into a witty reinvention tale. Smart, sassy, and full of second chances.


Fire Concerto – Sarah Landenwich

A lush literary mystery where a once-celebrated pianist is pulled back into the world she left behind by a cryptic message about her former mentor—and a forgotten woman composer in her family line. Explores generational trauma, artistic obsession, and women erased from history.


Irrational Fears, The Slava Steps & The Salvation of Henry Maxwell – Lee Lindauer

A cautious math professor witnesses a brutal murder and is forced into a high-stakes hunt for a missing girl and a 300-year-old equation. Corporate greed, fresh-water scarcity, and global stakes make this a timely, gripping thriller set across multiple books.


Ivory Bones – Sarah Wilker

A mystery-thriller where a forensic geneticist races across Iceland, Africa, and the Americas to recover the iconic Lewis Chessmen. DNA science, ancient secrets, and dangerous treasure hunters make this a page-turner.


Asylum Series & Ascendant – Susie Smith

A dystopian world inspired by The Walking Dead, focused less on zombies and more on human nature, survival, freedom, and how people rebuild when society collapses. Gritty, gripping, and thought-provoking.



Fantasy, Myth & the Mystical

A Moon in All Things – Jennifer Comeau

A spellbinding tale steeped in Celtic mysticism, Irish folklore, frozen rivers, and a love story rooted in heritage. Blends fact, fantasy, and the timeless call of nature into one magical narrative.


The Dream Hunters: The Witch of Maple Hollow – Megan Mary

A metaphysical story that bridges our modern world and the mystical one, centering on dreams as doorways to inner guidance and purpose. Especially lovely for women drawn to dreamwork and intuitive wisdom.


Nature’s Poetry / Inspiration – Constanze Hawkins

Stunning nature photographs paired with heartfelt poetry, where the images themselves inspire the words. A contemplative gift for those who find solace and spirit in the natural world.


The Hero’s Playbook & We Meet Again Reincarnation Trilogy – Brownell Landrum

Metaphysical fiction and non-fiction that dig into the “why” behind our experiences, including love stories across lifetimes and a playful “team upstairs” guiding souls on Earth. Great for readers who enjoy reincarnation, destiny, and cosmic humour.


Poetry & Lyrical Collections

Bachelor Holiday – William Huhn

A lyrical, multi-dimensional journey through memory, past loves, and everyday miracles. Short poems and longer meditations sit side by side, leaving you oddly grateful to be alive in this “strange, beautiful havoc” of a century.


Sci-Fi, Space Opera & Hopepunk

The Cassidy Chronicles & Related Series – Adam Gaffen

Hopepunk sci-fi full of space opera battles, politics, and starship launches. From the Artemis War series to Ghost of Tantaran and short-fiction collections, these books explore friendship, courage, and big, bold futures—perfect for the nerdy space-adventurer in your life.


Youth, YA & Cross-Generational Stories

Jeannie McGee Quartet – Sam Hawksmoor

(The Repercussions of Jeannie McGee, The Haunting of Jeannie McGee, The Heaviness of Jeannie McGee, Whatever Happened to Jeannie McGee)

A Canadian YA saga about a gifted girl trapped in cruelty, creepy experiments, and teleportation gone wrong. Beneath the sci-fi is a powerful story of abandonment, resilience, greed, power, and the mystical gifts we can grow through adversity.


The Restoration of Amy – Sam Hawksmoor

What does a runaway girl from a cult, a grieving retired NASA engineer, and a ’57 Studebaker have in common? A dog, a road trip, and a healing journey that shows how wisdom can flow both ways between generations.


Health, Aging & Personal Growth

The Immunity Code – Michaela Gaffen Stone

A practical guide to strengthening your immune system through food, lifestyle, and behaviour change. Written by a board-certified behaviour analyst, it blends science, holistic wellness, and global nutrition insights.


Embrace Your Age – James (Jim) Flaherty

A short, joyful, slightly cheeky book about aging “cheerfully and productively,” whether you’re 14, 90, or in between. With big questions, direct calls to action, and plenty of laughs, it invites you to sum up your life in just six words.


The Aligned Author – Krystal Hill

For the person who knows they have a book inside them: this reframes writing as a soul-led rite of passage, not just a word-count exercise. Krystal guides aspiring authors through the inner journey so the story that lands on the page is truly aligned and alive.


Coming Soon – Mental Health Support T-Shirts

ABOUT SARA TROY HERE


The Gift of a Real Book

Whenever possible, I always recommend gifting a physical book—paperback or hardback. There’s something deeply comforting about holding a book in your hands, curling up with a coffee or a glass of wine on a sunny or rainy day, and getting lost in another world. A good book doesn’t just end with the last page; it lingers in your thoughts, shifts your perspective, and sometimes has you eagerly waiting for the next one.


Book Clubs & Podcast Clubs

Books keep on giving when we share them. I highly recommend not only book clubs, but podcast clubs too—listen to an episode or read a book together, take notes, and then come together to share what stood out for you. You’ll be amazed at the different perspectives people hear in the same story or conversation. It’s a beautiful way to deepen the experience of every gift you give.

25-48. Musical Ai Art


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.
