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.

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

Why and how Nelly brought JD in to help with everything from nightclub ventures to clothing brands

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.

IG22-14. Denise Schaad’s memoir, Spirit Speaks

April 4, 2022April 4, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Denise Schaad, on air from April 5th

Experiencing Loss of Self to Experience Love of self. All of our experiences however traumatic they are is the evolution of the soul. Fighting the lies within the mind is the path of self-realization. I’ve learned that the mind’s job is to preserve our isolation and the ego-mind is designed to protect our identities.

Denise Schaad has come a long way from a past filled with trauma and addiction. In her commitment and dedication to healing herself, Denise unraveled her trauma by embracing transformation. Through her willingness to face the darkness with courage, she became an empowered, successful spiritual teacher and heart leader.

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

April 4, 2022April 4, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

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.
