22-16 The Hot & Cold of Life

April 18, 2022April 17, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life, with Sara Troy, on air from April 19th

Just like the weather, we all have hot and cold days. As winter turns into spring, we are experiencing snow one day, the blazing sun the next, and that is nature in transition and rebalancing herself. This is a metaphor for our lives, we can have great days and then ext not so much, but that does not stop us from living life.

Life can be a Roller-costor or a Ferris wheel, fast and furious on a journey of self-discovery, it is our choice. When we choose to slow down and be engaged in the moments, taking one step at a time finding our balance, and focusing on the now, we discover just how in control we can be of our life. Going fast can be an avoidance of dealing with life’s hot and cold days, and can prevent us from slowing down enough to be in the now, learning what we are really capable of.

There is a time for leaps, a time to jump blind deaf, and dumb in order to see hear and feel, and a time on being intuned in the moment of stillness and of concentrating on the now. Sometimes that leap is not in the jump, but in the choice to be present and take the one step at a time approach to life.

May the force be with you……….

C22-16 Linda Heeler, Normal Lies in Life

April 18, 2022April 29, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living Sara Troy with her guest Linda Heeler, PCC, on air from April 19th

Coaching gave me my life back. I had so much social anxiety that it was easier to lose myself in my family and work. Therapy helped but I still had crippling fear and anxiety every time I wanted to try something new. Now I’m living an amazing life and doing things I never thought possible. The best part is, that I’m helping others do the same!

Linda Heeler is a Life/Executive Coach and host of the Normal Lies podcast. While working as a dental hygienist, Linda discovered coaching as another way to help people; without having to put her hands in their mouths.

Heather Mathes began modeling in 1988. She continued modeling professionally after graduating from the Ohio State University with a B.S. in Marketing in 1993 before signing her first contract fit modeling with a major national retailer in 1996. After a ten consecutive year fit modeling contract, as well as modeling for other companies outside of her contract, she retired to become a mom in 2008. She then came out of retirement in 2016 at the age of 46 to continue fit modeling for the same company at the exact measurements she was in her twenties, not because she was under contract, but because she had developed health and wellness methods that kept her weight from fluctuating. She did this unconsciously as these methods became her norm. These methods and more are what she shares in her book

Paid to Be Perfect: The Secret to Finding Your Perfect. She lives in Columbus, OH with her husband, her son, and her dog.

C22-15. Andrew Biernat & The Growing Pains of Growth

April 11, 2022March 3, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Andrew Biernat, on air from April 12th

The process of personal growth isn’t always pleasant. After years of counseling, reading mountains of personal development books, and going through numerous challenges, including quitting alcohol and experiencing 3 miscarriages in between our two girls, much of the growth I’ve experienced has come at a cost. Some of the growth processes are fun and motivational. Much of it cuts you to the core in order for you to heal back stronger.

MH22-15. JD Mass. Race for What?

April 11, 2022April 10, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest JD Mass, on air from April 12th

RACE FOR WHAT? A White Man’s Journey & Guide to Healing Racism from Within. In 2017, JD Mass earned his doctorate in Organizational Psychology and became heavily involved in white antiracism groups in Los Angeles, and later in St. Louis.

Race is currently a hot topic of discussion. Questions being considered are: Does racism still exist? What does equity look like? How do we achieve justice?

Anti-black racism is real. It hasn’t been corrected and it won’t go away on its own. Aboriginal (Black) and Indigenous folks have carried the burden for far too long. It is time for white folks to take the next step and complete the mission.

St Louis, MO – JD Mass, PsyD, releases his book, Race for What? A White Man’s Journey & Guide to Healing Racism from Within. Mass tells the story of growing up in a black community and witnessing racism firsthand, as well as his successes and missteps in building powerful alliances with the community in which he was raised. Race for What? released March 29, 2022.
Part memoir, part how-to, and entirely real, this masterfully woven book takes readers back in time to St. Louis in the 80s and 90s, when Mass was growing up with a circle of creative friends and influences. The talent he bonded with, such as the rapper Nelly, would set the stage for a life of music, religion, culture, community development, and politics.

Mass says, “I have been on a lifelong journey to learn why racism was created and what we can look forward to without it. Change is happening. Will it be the superficial change that doesn’t bring forth justice or the transformational healing that is needed? Race for What? provides a vision for the latter.”
Race for What? provides stories with a unique perspective from a white man’s experience and illustrates seven steps to healing. Mass encourages white people to work through the emotional and psychological obstacles in order to repair and heal the harm racism has caused.

The privilege he had growing up around black folks
His white privilege and experiences
Seven steps for addressing the racial divide
Reparations and why we need them
Why the “it’s not as bad as it used to be” argument is flawed
Being Nelly’s business manager
Why and how Nelly brought JD in to help with everything from nightclub ventures to clothing brands

In 2017, JD Mass earned his doctorate in Organizational Psychology and became heavily involved in white antiracism groups in Los Angeles, and later in St. Louis. This work inspired him to write Race for What? A wise thinker and guide, JD hopes for our society to finally correct the harm of racism and help create a humane world.
