Sara Troy has created a web of wisdom with people around the globe who share the trials and triumphs they’ve experienced while on their quest to discover the distinct rhythm of life that makes them feel alive. Sara uses people’s stories to inspire a global network of listeners on her Self Discovery podcast to spread courage and hope to pursue our potential; all part of an organic orchard of wisdom that serves as an environment for every soul to choose what makes their soul thrive.

Thought provoking sayings from Sara

  •  ”Take the leap, blind, deaf, and dumb in order to see, hear, and feel because that is leaping in faith - and what you need to see, to hear and to feel will be revealed.”
  • “Get out of your head and trust your heart and soul. It'll never lie to you. It'll always lead you down the right path.”
  •  ”When you're aware you care. When you care, you do something about it.”
  •  ”Step into allowing and follow the path that is before you. - it will reveal, listen, learn, and apply.”
