MH22-15. JD Mass. Race for What?

Self 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.

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.

22-15 Dream your dream into reality

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 12th

The end of a day must be as calming as the start of a day, for in your dreams you are laying foundations for what is to come, and when you awake in your knowingness you are guided to what can make those dreams come true. Dream well and welcome a new day with enlightenment.

Where do our dreams come from?

Where do the seeds of our possibilities grow?

Where do our dreams need to go?

Where do we find the courage to build that dream?

Where do we find the knowledge to succeed?

Can we trust the dream?

That desire that lays within you is that a dream? that energy called excitement that is unleashed on an idea that became a dream is the dream.

We need dreams for they are the foundation of all that is, all that can be. So how do we honour that dream, that idea? how do we fuel it into a picture that can be seen and ignited?

Paint the picture, vivid and alive so that you are clear on what it is, start seeding and watering the idea into action. Nurture it protect it, allow it to grow in its own light, and then guide it gently along its path to life.

Never give up on your dream, but remember visions change so do the directions of dreams. As long as the core of that dream is still alive, the redirection is just the universe showing you what you need to fulfill that core and make the vision happen.

Be willing to take a totally new path, for it may be the path to that dreams meaning. Remember to be aware of those around you and that who interact with you, for you never know who may have that nugget of info you need to grow.

Remember to be patient for dreams do not manifest overnight, and only grow at the rate they are meant to, nurtured with your loving care and conviction.

In the end, your dream may look totally different in reality, but as long as you have been true to the meaning of the dream, the core of the heart, and soul spirit of you, the principle, the authenticity, is what you were always meant to have…this I know all too well.

So dream well, dream big, but be prepared to take action in all directions to fuel this dream into fruition, nothing happens by just dreaming it, you have to actionism on those dreams to build them.

I had a dream, I thought it was to be taken in one direction but was redirected to another. When I first started the journey, I had no idea that this was my dream all along. I got out of my way and kept walking forward in belief and purpose, now I am where I should be and know what wonders lay before me, I love who I am, doing what I am doing, because I fed the core, and was flexible but steadfast and willing to bend but stay strong.

You too can live your meaningful purposeful dream just trust and take the first step.

22-14 Sara’s 10 Years of Podcasting

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

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

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

Self 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.
