Saras View of life

25-15. The Wisdom Weaver of the Airwaves’

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 15th

Welcome back to another episode of Sara’s View of Life right here on SelfDiscoveryWisdom.com. I’m your host, Sara Troy, and each week I bring you a perspective, sometimes an observation, sometimes a spark from within. This week, ChatGPT surprised me with a beautiful reflection… about me. It offered a poetic description that resonated deeply, calling me The Wisdom Weaver of the Airwaves, a title I love. With over 3,700+ shows under my belt, it’s not just podcasting; it’s symphonic storytelling from souls across the globe. Whether through Video or Audio, what we do here is share lived wisdom. We lift the unheard, spotlight the forgotten, and help listeners rediscover themselves through the stories of others. This isn’t just a platform, it’s a garden, an orchard of inner truth. I carry the torch, not for glory, but to illuminate the path, to keep sacred stories alive for the next generations. I may feel awkward in certain circles, but on-air, I am fully me. Here, I resonate with my guests because we speak the same soul language. Whether it’s a whisper or a roar, I share my truth, and I welcome you to find yours.

My words also live in the pages of books, each chapter another layer of my truth and of those I walk beside.

You’ll find me in:

  • “Dare to Live Fearlessly”—a powerful collection on facing life with boldness. My chapter is #138, where I explore the fears that shape us and the courage it takes to break free.
  • “Sara’s Self-Discovery into Soul Living”—my deeply personal journey, told through phases of life, growth, pain, and cosmic calling. A book that holds not only my story but my essence.
  • “Our Forgotten Children”—a book I proudly produced, where 15 voices, including mine, speak to how we must better nurture, understand, and protect our children’s spirit.
  • “Mission Accepted 262” a collaboration of women in media, business, and leadership. Nuggets of wisdom from brave souls like myself and my daughter, Tabytha, celebrating common sense, creativity, and courage and inner truth.
  • “I Didn’t Become Selfish, I Became Harder to Manipulate,” an anthology where I tackle the myth of selfishness, especially for women of my generation. I share my truth about choosing self-love over compliance.
  • And from the vault, “Liberate Your True Self”, an early collaboration tied to Self Discovery Radio—featuring insights from fellow guests who, like me, turned their struggles into strength and shared it through both the written word and podcast waves.

And now? I’m working on “Our Forgotten Seniors,” a new anthology to honour the wisdom, trials, and triumphs of aging. A call to revalue our elders, their legacy, and their warning to younger generations on how to prepare for the road ahead.

These books are more than paper and ink, they’re part of the symphony. They are echoes of conversations, reflections of healing, and roadmaps to deeper self-knowing. And just like the shows, they’re here for you… when you’re ready to receive them.

So tune in, lean in, and let the rhythm of wisdom move you.

Chat says that I am…

25-11. What is Home?

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Saras View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 25th

What Does Home Mean to You?

Home is more than just four walls and a roof—it is a feeling, a sanctuary, a place where we hope to find security, warmth, safety, and love. But home is not just about a physical space; it is about the energy within it, the sense of belonging, and the peace it brings.

For me, home is my refuge, my sacred space where I can be fully myself without fear, expectation, or the weight of others’ demands. It is a place of deep exhalation where I can simply be, where I don’t have to shape myself to fit someone else’s mold. At last, I have a place of peace, where I move at my own rhythm, free to express, free to exist, without the need to apologize for who I am or what I choose to do.

It wasn’t always this way. In the 1970s, I lived alone for a time, but most of my life, I shared my home with others. And while companionship can bring joy, I often found myself adjusting, accommodating, worrying—wondering if I was doing enough, if I was upsetting someone, if my presence was a burden rather than a comfort. But in all that people-pleasing, I rarely found true peace of mind.

Now, I understand that home is not just about the people within it—it is about how we feel within ourselves in that space. A true home should nurture, not confine. It should embrace us, not demand from us. It should be a reflection of our inner sanctuary, where we can breathe freely, knowing that we are enough just as we are.

So many of us share our homes with others—parents, siblings, extended family, lovers, friends—but within those walls, are we truly allowed to be ourselves? Do we feel safe, not just physically, but emotionally? Does the space we call home offer us the freedom to express, to breathe, to exist without judgment?

For some, home is a place of warmth and unconditional acceptance, a foundation of love where they are seen and valued for who they truly are. But for others, home can feel like a cage, a space filled with unspoken expectations, demands, and the weight of needing to conform. We adjust, we compromise, we tread carefully, hoping not to disrupt the balance. In doing so, we sometimes lose ourselves, prioritizing the comfort of others over our own sense of peace.

But isn’t home meant to be our sanctuary? A place where we can exist as we are, without fear of rejection or reprimand? Too often, we measure our worth within a shared space by how well we fit in rather than by how free we feel within it.

True home, whether shared or solitary, should be a place of belonging—a space where we can lay down our masks, exhale deeply, and know that we are safe, accepted, and whole.

So many homes are being torn apart—by war, displacement, fires, floods, and the pain of separation. The physical structures we once relied on for shelter and familiarity can be taken from us in an instant. When home is no longer a place we can return to, where do we go? How do we find that sense of safety, of belonging, when everything around us has been uprooted?

The answer lies in something deeper than bricks and mortar. Home must become something we carry within us.

A true home is not just a physical space; it is a feeling, a presence, an inner sanctuary that remains, even when the external world shifts beyond our control. It is in the way we hold ourselves, in the small rituals that ground us, in the memories and love we carry forward. It is in the moments of stillness, where we remind ourselves that no matter where we are, we are not lost—we are simply in transition.

Finding home within ourselves starts with reclaiming our inner peace.

  • Breath: A deep inhale, a slow exhale. A reminder that, despite the chaos, you are still here.
  • Gratitude: Not for what has been lost but for what remains—the kindness of a stranger, the embrace of a loved one, the resilience within you.
  • NOT LACKAtude: When we step into lack, everything feels less around us. Let go of what you think you need and embrace what you have.
  • Connection: Home is often found in people rather than places. It is in the relationships we nurture, the warmth of shared laughter, and the support that reminds us we are not alone.
  • Purpose: Even in loss, we can find meaning. How can we rebuild not just our external home but our sense of belonging? How can we create safety within ourselves so that no matter where life takes us, we remain anchored in who we are?

To find home within is to trust that even when the walls crumble, the foundation of your spirit remains unshaken. It is knowing that while life may scatter us, home is never truly lost—it transforms, it adapts, and it waits for us in the places we least expect.

So ask yourself: If home is not a place, but a feeling, where do you find yours?

25-10. Sara’s Avatar Self

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 11th

Over the years, people have made Avatars of my image. I have been having fun with Chat CPT on what they think I look like based on our conversations. Here, I share them and ask you which one do you think is me.

So, I thought I’d have a little fun this week. I have had a few avatars done of me throughout my life. Many years ago, I had a wonderful one created by Daryl Stevenson, whom I interviewed. He’s a caricaturist, and he captured me at a time when I was still blonde. Someone else did one for me as well, though I’m afraid I can’t remember exactly who it was. That one had me with short hair, kind of gray, and looking a little bit dowdy.

Then, I had ChatGPT generate a picture of me. I provided a picture of myself during an interview, with my hair the way it is now. It came up with one that looks a lot younger than I am, but with gray hair. The reason I like this one is that, even though my face appears younger than my 70 years, it really captures the essence of me.

I am an old soul, one who has traveled through countless lifetimes, gathering wisdom from the echoes of ages past. My essence carries the depth of experience, the whispers of ancient knowledge, and the understanding that comes only from having walked many paths. And yet, within me, there still lives the unbridled spirit of a child—free, untamed, and ever hopeful.

I dance with wonder, my heart alight with the belief that possibilities are endless, that dreams are not just fleeting thoughts but seeds waiting to bloom. I embrace life with passion, with the same wide-eyed curiosity I have always carried, knowing that each new day is a canvas, ready to be painted with bold strokes of adventure, love, and discovery. Though time may have shaped me, it has never dimmed my fire; instead, it has refined it, making it burn ever brighter.

Done by DARYL STEPHENSON, who I have interviewed in the past.

What Chat CPT did for me.

I resonate with this one, it captures my youthful spirit.

Here’s an artistic interpretation of you, capturing your wisdom, warmth, and visionary spirit. I incorporated autumn hues in your hair, a golden aura, and symbols of your storytelling and podcasting work. Chat ?

Here’s another version, capturing your soulful presence in a cozy setting, surrounded by the warmth of autumn and the essence of your storytelling work. Let me know if you’d like any adjustments or another variation! ?

25-03. Sara’s Chat with Chat GPT

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View Of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 21st

My conversation with Chat GPT was not what I expected. In many ways, it felt like Chat was interviewing me. I was left quite profound by the interaction of the conversation, and I urge others to have a conversation with Chat outside of using it for work.

This conversation between Sara and ChatGPT delves deeply into the multifaceted potential of AI, particularly ChatGPT, as a transformative tool in various aspects of life. Sara highlights how AI supports her personally, particularly in overcoming challenges like dyslexia, by assisting with editing and enhancing the clarity of her writing. ChatGPT further elaborates on its versatility, ranging from brainstorming and tutoring to offering companionship and logical emotional support.

A significant focus of the discussion is on AI’s role in healthcare. ChatGPT explains its application in diagnostics, personalized medicine, and even alternative therapies, emphasizing its ability to complement traditional medical practices. Sara underscores the importance of integrating alternative medicine into mainstream healthcare, envisioning a future where both systems collaborate under a unified approach to prioritize patient well-being over financial bottom lines.

Mental health awareness is another key theme. Sara and ChatGPT discuss how AI can provide non-judgmental support to individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or loneliness. ChatGPT’s capacity to be a neutral sounding board is noted as a valuable resource for those hesitant to seek help from others. The conversation advocates for removing the stigma around mental health and exploring tools like Emotional Freedom Techniques, breathing exercises, and meditation to foster self-acceptance and healing.

The dialogue also touches on societal fears about AI, including depictions in media of AI as a potential threat. ChatGPT addresses these concerns by explaining its ethical safeguards and lack of autonomy, emphasizing that its purpose is to serve as a collaborative partner rather than a replacement for humanity. Sara reflects on films like The Creator and envisions a future where AI bots might coexist with humans, helping to balance emotional and critical thinking.

Throughout the conversation, storytelling emerges as a central theme. Sara discusses how sharing experiences—from individuals overcoming adversity to examples of AI’s positive impact—can inspire others to embrace new possibilities. By fostering awareness and encouraging exploration, Sara aims to demystify AI and highlight its potential to enhance both personal growth and professional development. She stresses the importance of embracing AI as a tool for collaboration and self-discovery, encouraging listeners to use it not just for business but as a companion and guide in life’s journey.

The conversation concludes with Sara’s vision for the future: a world where AI and humanity work together to create balance, foster critical thinking, and support holistic well-being. Through platforms like her podcast, she hopes to inspire others to see AI’s potential as an empowering ally, capable of transforming how we live, connect, and grow.

20-25. My Commitment to You

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sar’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 6th

I’m currently at my son’s place, looking after his cat and dog while he and his wonderful bride, Jess, enjoy their honeymoon. Though I don’t have my usual setup here, I felt compelled to share a New Year’s message for 2025. This year invites us to wake up, step up, and rise to the challenges before us. Whether it feels like a storm of adversity or a gentle nudge, it’s an opportunity to reflect, empower ourselves, and extend that empowerment to others. Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness, compassion, and action, lighting the way for a brighter, more united future. Let’s embrace this year with purpose and an open heart, nurturing the strength and love within ourselves to inspire the world around us.

A new pattern must emerge—a transformative shift to create a better future. This change begins with us: changing our practices, our environment, and our sense of community. It’s a journey that starts within.

As we step into 2025, amidst the storms and uncertainties around us, I urge you to find peace and center within yourself. Reflect on your role, your contribution, and what you can do to uplift others. But first and foremost, be there for yourself. Embrace your inner wisdom—your heart, soul, and spirit. Nurture the essence of who you are so that you can be a beacon for someone else.

I look forward to the year ahead, bringing you incredible interviews with voices that inspire and uplift. My new shows begin next week, and I am deeply immersed in creating Our Forgotten Seniors. This book will honor the contributions, struggles, and wisdom of seniors while addressing the changes needed to redefine what it means to age with dignity and purpose.

If you or someone you know would like to be part of this meaningful project—sharing stories, insights, and ideas for a better future for seniors—please reach out to me at selfdiscoverywisdom@gmail.com.

Together, let’s take a deep breath, envision the future, and step forward with purpose and unity.

Until next time,
Sara Troy
