MH22-15. JD Mass. Race for What?

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.

C22-15.Victoria Coure. A Contagious Smile after Abuse


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

A Contagious Smile has been supporting families with both special needs as well as survivors of domestic violence for well over 16 years now. As a special needs parent, a survivor of domestic violence, and being special needs myself, I understand first-hand just how challenging it was and still is to be able to find the assistance that you need. This is a place where there is no judgment, no bullying and you get to be YOU! We offer support groups, social groups, classes, legal preparation, and much more. Finally, a place where you can be amongst lifelong friends, who understand exactly who and where you are because each and every one of us has been there or is still there. We believe in having fun, learning with laughter, and supporting one another’s dreams.

22-14 Sara’s 10 Years of Podcasting

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 5th

If you told me back in April of 2012 that I would be podcasting for 10 years and growing, I would have laughed at you, but here we are, it is 10 years of podcast hosting with 9 years in June of my own network.

One never knows where our path will lead us, but if we are willing to walk it, we do discover why it is leading us that way and what it is all about. It truly has been an extraordinary journey for me, one of personal growth, self discovery, enlightenment, and humility, and I love where it has led me to now.

You can not hear the stories of such struggles, such abuse, such neglect, such venerability, and not be affected by those who CHOSE to walk away from the anguish that was imposed upon them and to embrace their own self-discovery. Their courage discovered, their strength revealed, abilities shown and love of self embraced, it truly is the most illuminating thing one can hear and be a part of, for it shows us just how abundant, enriched, and flawsome we really are and what we are capable of if we try.

I am exceedingly proud of the trust that people have put in me in sharing their stories, and in how not only have they referred me, but come back again to continue to inspire and invite us all to rise up to our own awesomeness. To you all, I thank you, for without your honesty, trust, and venerability, we would not be able to inspire so many in choosing to walk into their own personal growth of abundance.

We are so much more capable than we know, so much stronger, resilient and courageous, if only we choose to step away from fear and past conditioning, and decide to walk forward to a more meaningful fulfilling, and enriching life.

With approximately 2700 shows under my belt, and with so many more to come, I am going for the next ten years to bring you more of the divine exuberant, and empowering people that you would ever want to know. Remember this, whatever notoriety they may have in their lives now, they also had to walk the path of self-discovery and pick from the Orchard of Wisdom to allow themselves to grow and become the illuminating people that they are today. It is in all of us, we just need to decide to walk away from outdated patterns and beliefs and embrace our true essence and divine ability that is our journey in life.

HERE IS TO THE NEXT 10 YEARS

C22-14 LisaBeth Thomas “Finding your Power through Loss.”

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest LisaBeth Thomas, on air from April 5th

“What jazzes me? Helping people discover fears that sabotage their relationships and success and the difference it makes in their lives!”

All of us have fears; some are healthy and some are unhealthy.  Unhealthy fears can keep us trapped in negative behaviors or situations that can lead to anxiety and lack of production and success. In this show, you’ll discover the fear that is subconsciously sabotaging your actions and create a strategy to outwit it.

With over 30 years of experience creating successful advertising and public relations campaigns and as an award-winning producer, LisaBeth “LB” Thomas continues to be regarded as one of the most respected women in her field. Her pathway to success wasn’t always easy. Due to her divorce, she lost her home and her business. She was devastated and didn’t think it could get any worse, but it did – her mom passed away as she was preparing to close on her home. All this destroyed her confidence and belief in herself. Through the struggle, she uncovered the deep-seated fears that were sabotaging her life. Her courage and determination not only turned a spotlight on those fears, but she also turned her tragedies into triumphs. LB inspires others to dig deep to uncover their inner strength and find their power through loss.

A lot can happen in 10 years — just ask LisaBeth Thomas.

A decade ago, Thomas’s career as a film and video producer was in high gear. Her credits included a wide swath of work from movies like “Hope Floats” to TV shows “Real Life with Gerald Mann,” plus commercials like a campaign celebrating the 20th anniversary of Amy’s Ice Creams.

Referrals, such as from GSD&M to produce Anheuser-Busch commercials for the Keep Texas Beautiful recycling campaign, fueled growth that turned her little Austin production company, LBTJ, into a seven-figure agency handling everything from marketing to media buys.

But of her creations, she is most proud of being one of the original five founders of Texas Women in Business, a nonprofit women’s group dedicated to fostering personal and professional growth along with pooling resources to give back to the community through philanthropy. The group celebrates its 10-year anniversary in 2020.
