With over 25 years of experience in high-end spas catering to celebrity clients, I have been immersed in the world of luxury. My passion for my work has always been about providing exceptional care and ensuring that every client enjoys an unparalleled experience. As a self-proclaimed beach enthusiast aka Beach Bum, I thrive in the great outdoors, where I find my true sense of peace and fulfillment.
When I venture out, I do so in style, prioritizing comfort without compromising on elegance. It was only a matter of time before I transformed this passion into a reality for others to enjoy. I am dedicated to weaving together all my interests to create a business that is a true extension of myself. By collaborating with local companies, I aim to bring their services and products to life while indulging in my love for outdoor luxury.

IG25-40 Margie Goldsmith on Becoming a Badass


Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Margie Goldsmith, on air from October 7th

In her new memoir, Becoming a Badass: From Fearful to Fierce Margie is a testament to the adage “no one is going to make your life for you.” 
Her story is one of adventure and resilience. It’s about living life on your terms and living it fearlessly. She speaks to anyone  looking to overcome a sense of powerlessness in any given situation, whether that’s a dysfunctional family, a marriage/relationship, or a career, and to anyone who has ever felt “less than.”

Coming from a family marked by deep struggles—her father’s suicide, incest, a sister battling schizophrenia, and parents coping with manic depression and alcoholism—her early life shaped much of who she became. After college, she moved to Paris, where she lived a glamorous life and married a blacklisted film director. Her passion for travel soon blossomed, leading her to become a travel writer who has explored 150 countries across seven continents, from Uganda, The Marquesas, South Korea, Laos, and Cambodia to Oman, Cuba, Tibet, Nepal, Borneo, Mauritius, Papua New Guinea, Easter Island, Croatia, Namibia, the Arctic, and Antarctica. The Outward Bound program also transformed her path, fueling her love of physical challenges: she has completed marathons and Olympic-distance triathlons, summited Mount Rainier, and climbed to Advanced Base Camp on The North Face of Mount Everest. Adding music to her many adventures, she learned to play the harmonica and even recorded two albums with America’s most award-winning blues band. Her resilience shines brightest in her survival of stage four pancreatic cancer and later, lung cancer—proving again and again her extraordinary strength and will to live fully.

“Why Caring for the Caregiver Isn’t Selfish, It’s Essential” and Health & Wellness

I believe that success happens when we find a better way and are able and willing to share it. I find a better way by challenging the status quo and thinking differently. Ultimately, what I bring to the table is a way to contribute and add value by having an impact on the lives of others.

AK25-38. Constanze Hawkins, Natures Poetry


An Authors Kiss with Sara troy and her guest Constanze Hawkins, on air from September 23rd

Inspirations is a collection of photographs, each accompanied by a poem depicting Constanze Hawkins’ love of the natural world. The poems capture the thoughts and wonder inspired by the photos. Constanze took all of the photographs herself, mostly near her Perth home on the grounds of the University of Western Australia. Even the photo of the peacock was taken at UWA, which has a few peacocks and peahens roaming freely in its gardens.
Inspirations offers an interesting, and at times thought-provoking, read as Constanze’s reverence for nature shines through in both image and verse.

Constanze discusses a wide range of themes found in her work. She often reflects on the challenges of handling loss, weaving emotion and experience into verse. She can also explore how the length of a poem influences the way readers engage with it, and how nature—its beauty, complexity, and timelessness—continues to inspire her writing. With her background in fashion, Constanze brings a unique perspective on how that world has shaped her creative voice. She also pairs her poetry with photography, offering a visual dimension that deepens the reader’s experience. Another recurring theme in her work is the lament for the loss of childhood, which she captures with poignancy and thought-provoking insight.

Constanze Hawkins was born in Stuttgart Germany. Her family migrated to Melbourne Australia when she was four. Hawkins studied fashion at the Melbourne College of Textiles. She completed her studies after her marriage, and her young family’s move to Perth, Western Australia. She also earned a Graduate Certificate of Design from the Curtin University of Technology and worked in fashion as a pattern maker and grader until retirement. 

A recurring theme in the author’s first book, Eloise and Other Verses, is the inescapable human experience ‘Loss’. She became interested in loss when her father died, followed by the breakup of her marriage and then the death of her mother. Her experience of loss is that it is often dealt with alone — a theme that she explores in her poems. Inspirations is her second published book.

C23-38. Jennifer Mrozek Sukalo & Your SWAGGER


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Jennifer Mrozek Sukalo, on air from September 19th

We are first and foremost the leaders of our lives. However, most people are unaware of this and don’t know how to fully step into that leadership role or drive peak performance in all aspects of their lives. This leads to dissatisfaction, frustration, and mental health challenges. What we find are people who are struggling to survive life instead of truly thriving.

That’s where SWAGGER comes in. It’s not just a word, it’s a lifestyle and something that must be worked on and practiced daily. The practice of SWAGGER is designed to help people tap into and learn to use what they already have to become the leaders of their lives so they can be at their best, perform at their best, and live their best lives regardless of the obstacles they may face.

This is not the SWAGGER you’re likely thinking about. I’ve defined SWAGGER in a whole new way. It is an acronym that stands for Self-Worth, Appreciation for your strengths and limitations, Gratitude for your life experiences, Grounded in your core values, Empowered to overcome your self-limiting beliefs, and Renewed through your passion and purpose.
