Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Brad Williams, on air from February 28th
My WHY?
Personal Trainer for 13 years helping the over 40 crowd stay fit. Between turning 40 myself now and recovering from a horrible back injury has left me with a new mindful perspective on training and health in general. My mission is to better serve those who are over 40. I have several different Hacks that help with this.
Over the last decade, Brad owned and operated three gym locations in Orange County, and oversaw 40+ independent personal trainers each with their unique training styles. He built a loyal following and sought-after client/trainer community culture within each of his gym locations.
Post COVID, Brad had to focus more on online training and had started his first fitness podcast called Over 40 Fitness Hacks. He wanted the show to revolve around his passion of helping the over 40 crowd fight the aging process, while still having a social life.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from February 28th
We are all in a hurry to get things done, we have intentions, agendas and we want to meet them, but it does not always go as planned. I was looking after my Grandson, then going to look after my sons house and pups and cat, while he was away. I got to see some friends, help out a bit at his restaurant, and I was meant to finish editing my memoir finally.
Well, I saw friends, walked pups, had time with my oldest daughter, then…. the internet did not work,( I needed that to finish the editing) and I got sick. I crawled through the days walking pups, seeing people, but was in bed by 4pm, flattened. A most peculiar virus, no cold, hit my chest so hacking away, no shivers, but sweeting lots, and body ache like none other, and yes, flattened.
We are in a time when nothing is normal, no colds, flu, or viruses. So we need to pay attention to our minds, and body’s when they are feeling over wart. We can not push ourselves, or ignore the signs like we used to. It is time for the stich in time, and take care of ourselves all the time.
So make sure you have that daily time to look after you, that lump of time to nurture you, time to decompress, time to stretch, time to relax. You are with you all the time, so make sure you are aiding you and your wellbeingness, and your mind body spirit and soul, will be there for you.

Life is hard enough without having to deal with ghosts following you around every day.

Her life goes from bad to worse when a wicked neighbor steals the baby. Things look up when the handsome son of Maggie’s employer falls for her. Gershom understands that having psychic gifts does not necessarily make a woman crazy. If only the local judge agreed. When Maggie ends up at the New York City Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island, she must find a way to escape and return to Gershom’s loving arms. Will Maggie be stuck in a madhouse forever? Even if she escapes, can she and Gershom rescue the lost baby? The obstacles seem insurmountable, but anything is possible with the assistance of ghostly helpers and Andrew Carnegie, one of America’s richest men.

Anika Savoy is an award-winning author and attorney who has always felt a supernatural pull. A healthy skeptic, she can’t deny her near-death experience and the shift it made in her life and writing. She attended McGill University and graduated with distinction in 1988 with a B.A. in English Literature. While at McGill, she won several creative writing contests. Thereafter, she wrote three historical romance novels. In 1998, Anika changed course and pursued her lifelong dream of becoming an attorney. She graduated from University of Cincinnati, College of Law with Dean’s Honors in 2001 and practiced law for almost 20 years. Now, Anika returns to her first love: writing historical romance. She endeavors to add paranormal elements that take readers into a fairy tale universe where ghosts and witches exist, and happy endings abound.
The Ghost In Her is the first in Anika Savoy’s Ungilded Series.
ESCAPE FROM MARIUPOL: A Survivor’s True Story is the tale of her perilous journey to freedom, an incredible tale of a brave young woman’s indomitable will to survive. As told to award-winning author Anne K. Howard, the book is a must-read for those who appreciate tales of extraordinary courage.
A lawyer gets inside the mind of a notorious New England serial killer in this award-winning and “grimly compelling” true crime (Kirkus).
For nine months of 2003, William Devin Howell went on a killing spree in and around New Britain, Connecticut. Seven people went missing; all of their bodies were eventually discovered in a wooded lot behind a strip mall. But the investigation that led to Howell’s arrest is only part of the story.
Attorney and author Anne K. Howard aka Anika Savoy, first contacted Howell while he was serving a fifteen-year sentence for one of his murders. He was about to be charged for the remaining six. A unique and disturbing friendship between the two began, comprised of written correspondence, face-to-face prison visits, and recorded phone calls. Over the course of years, Howell shared his troubled history with Howard. When his case was finally over, he told her every intimate, grizzly detail of how he became Connecticut’s most prolific serial killer.
In His Garden, Howard probes the complicated mind of William Devin Howell. It is a story that explores the eternal question of human evil and its impact on others, including the woman he chose to hear his horrific confession.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Cassandra Little, on air from February 14th
Energy is something that is felt or experienced. As a highly sensitive individual, my awareness was highly in tune with the frequency of everything around me. I was consciously aware of my outer environment, my inner environment and everything in between. As a creative, and as many creatives know, it’s harder to create when you are stressed, or distracted, or focused on anything other than the task at hand. I struggled for many years to move forward in my business because there was too much energy working against me, and not enough supporting me. The biggest thing that made a difference for me was working with scalar energy tools and incorporating various energy practices that help me to connect more easily with what I call the flow state. In this space, I am supported, expansive and feel more connected to my authentic self – where everything just flows. As I continually worked to strengthen this muscle and be in this creative flow, the natural momentum of things would build and come into my life – clients, connections, relationships, opportunities. This led me to want to show others that there is a different way – a different way to doing business. We aren’t met to force, or push, or manipulate our businesses – this goes against the natural rhythm of flow. Can we connect and sit in our inner frequency, and allow this to be the invitation to opening us into creating an abundant business?
I’ve never been big on labels but if I would to give myself a title I would say I am an Intuitive Designer & Alignment Facilitator. How I got here was a merging of two worlds… I originally studied and went to school for graphic and website design. This ignited my passion for creation, and design. This led me to dive deeper into the digital world, learning all things about marketing, analytics, websites, emails, design, social media. I worked with many start up entrepreneurs helping them establish and create their online presence. Although I loved it, there was a part of me that felt like something was missing. So I ventured into more of the spiritual side of things, learning various different kinds of energetic and healing modalities – reiki, subtle aromatherapy, soulful communication, light healing, thai massage, sound healing, metaphysical anatomy technique – to name a few. I loved supporting people to shed the layers they needed to connect with their innermost self, and move forward in creating the life they deserved. So here I was with two passions, both in two seemingly different worlds that felt quite opposite from each other.
Fast forward to today, I help clients develop an authentic brand, and create a website that matches with the essence of who they are. Along with this I use different techniques and tools to energetically support them in moving into a coherent space within them so they can go forward and weave that energy into their business.

In Reading the Soul, medical intuitive healer Catherine Carrigan reveals how you may be suffering from a wounded spirit, the karmas your soul may be carrying from this or other lifetimes, the burden of negative spiritual energies and why traditional medicine or natural healing may not be working to clear what ails you.

Reading the Soul captures the essence of what all spiritual knowledge is based upon. Catherine gives a clear understanding of your soul’s purpose and the different soul contracts you chose before you incarnated. She fills the holes and questions that most people have about why certain things are happening in their life. Reading the Soul is insightful, and uplifting.
