About Tracy
I’m Tracy, a Certified Adult Chair® Transformational Coach.
I’m so glad that you are here! If you’re reading this, you may be feeling a calling inside for something different or something more. But perhaps you don’t know where to begin and fear keeps you from moving ahead. If so, I get it! This was me.
I used to live, unknowingly, a very codependent life in fear. Never knowing who I was, not trusting myself, and never seeing my true worth. Without an inner compass I ended up making lots of “safe” decisions. I also looked to outside things for fulfillment. But as time passed these choices only increased the emptiness. In truth I had always thought my reason for being was to please everyone else, doing what I thought would make others happy, and ultimately never getting to know who I was. This showed up especially in my career which while not my true purpose became my sole identity, yet ultimately the vehicle that brought me home.
Hello, and welcome!
For most of my life, I was just trying to make it through my days. I’d think if I could just reach this or get to that, I’d be happy. But that never did it. My identity was what I did and sometimes what I had, but never who I was. I was completely unconscious and unaware of how frightened I was to really look inside. I now know I was terrified of the unconscious belief that there wasn’t any worth “in there.” So, instead I created an overly busy work life that left very little time to just be still. Just as my ego wanted it!
However, in 2016, during a much-needed vacation, all of that came to a screeching halt. Waking up the first morning barely able to get out of bed, I realized I was empty: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Upon reflection, I had already been sick three times that year, had heart palpitations, and continuous knots up and down my spine. It was then that I realized I was deeply unhappy and had nothing more to give. Something big needed healing, but how? That’s when I finally gave in to the voice inside whispering for years “meditate.” That one decision started a new life path.
The first few days meditating, I noticed a daily little window of peace. On the eighth morning, it was like I cracked wide open and saw myself – my soul – for the first time. There was peace, equanimity, and a child-like joy. At that moment, I knew this was who I really was. I also knew the life I created – all if it – was not my truth. Suddenly it was clear, my insides and outsides did not match.
This began a seven year journey of learning how to just sit still and be quiet, face the fear inside, and get to know who I truly was. When I did, I heard my inner voice, tuned into my intuition, and began living consciously and from my heart.
I read lots of self-help books, became a loyal meditator, and began my spiritual journey. It all was (and still is) hugely impactful. I’d built a daily practice, some incredible tools, and spiritual “knowings.” And yet consistent levels of authenticity and happiness still eluded me. I realized too that I often was still triggered and the emotional luggage while smaller was still there. At that moment I just thought to myself “I am over it!” As the Universe so often creates for us, the next step showed up in divine timing…
A new friend recommended The Adult Chair® work, sharing that it was hugely transformative and that shifts could happen quickly. I was skeptical, thinking I was already doing everything. Still, when I learned this meant honestly feeling all of my feelings at all times and getting to know the wounded little me inside I realized I had never really done this.
Having now walked the talk I can confirm it is real and that things can shift fast. I’m still me, but I wake up each day feeling more whole – a feeling I’d been chasing all of my life and not even realizing it! That’s not to say that I still don’t have challenging moments, that comes with the human territory! But now I have the tools to work through it. I know who I am. Difficult conversations are spoken with confidence and I can speak my truths without guilt, which includes drawing better boundaries. Recognizing that it is not my job to caretake others feelings or their life was incredibly liberating!
Through all of this I was also able to hear the life long whispers of my purpose: to be in service to others. Guiding them to reconnect with their inner light and the knowledge that they are deeply valuable and worthy just because they were born. From this clarity, helping them build a life that reflects their deepest truth becomes possible. Doing this work is a true honor and privilege of this lifetime.
“Getting connected with Tracy felt serendipitous but in hindsight, it was definitely meant to be…she was able to guide me through some intense fears and emotions I had coming out of a corporate chaotic atmosphere and gave me practical tools to use as I moved onto my next journey in business. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and gained more insight into how to manage my stress and anxiety from a more nurturing place of self-compassion. I highly recommend her for anyone who is in a phase of uncertainty or self-doubt.”
