We recently had the chance to connect with Tracy and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Tracy, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
People hide from their most vulnerable, authentic selves.
3 reasons for this….
1. Fear: If I show who I really am, people may reject me. People want to belong, I want to feel a sense of acceptance and those that say “they don’t care” are hiding so much from this truth. We long to be a part of something at a young age and if we repeatedly get denied, rejected or ignored we feel shame and do whatever it takes to hide that part so that we don’t get exposed and can assimilate into our little worlds. Choosing to walk into the fear allows us to share what will heal the world.
2. Perception of others…. looking weak is terrifying to most of us. Social media drives this hard. We show up when we look put together; makeup on, words prepared and present what we believe wont get us cancelled. We blend instead of show boldness and follow instead of lead. When we realize “what people think of us, is none of our business” we have the freedom to be who we are scars and all!
3. Absence of Social/learning or modeling: We grow up with the BIG people who experienced hurt and were not encouraged to express it…stuff it down, boys don’t cry, get a smile on that face, grow up, act like a big girl etc… we learn by what has been modeled to us, not what is spoken or taught when it comes to behavior. If those closest to us did not model empathy, vulnerability, authenticity then it is unnatural. Now if we become aware that we want to share those deeper parts we must decide to take the path of least resistance and work hard to create our true selves and be brave enough to not accept anything less.
The struggle of this leads to addictions, lack of boundaries, codependency, depression, anxiety, isolation and living small. We were not meant for that, we are spiritual beings living in a physical body and have the ability to give hope and healing to the world when we choose to connect to ourselves first and give the gift of your authentic self to others.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
I choose to studying overseas as an exchange student when I was a junior in college. Prior to that I was chasing the boys, chasing the parties and had zero idea who I was or what I wanted. That all changed when I stayed with a single mom, Noreen and her 2 kids in England and met my roommate Vicki. I remember Noreen intentionally would turn the TV off and spend time every night we were at the house talking to us, asking questions that were thought provoking and took me down a path of self-reflection. My roommate was 4 years older than me and we were complete opposites in all the ways that did not matter. I learned to not judge a book by its cover, that my voice & thoughts mattered, having a relationship with God was the greatest gift you could give yourself because you never walk alone and that people may look different but we all bleed the same and have the same hopes for a good life, pain points and desire to matter. That decision changed the trajectory of my life forever.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering carves out resilience and empathy in ways success often can’t touch. It forces you to confront your limits, strip away illusions of control, and find meaning in the raw, unfiltered struggle. Success can inflate your ego, make you feel invincible, but suffering grounds you—it teaches you to value the small victories, to connect deeply with others’ pain, and to keep going when the world feels heavy. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes from sitting in the dark and still finding a way to move forward.
Losing people I loved at a young age taught me to treasure all moments, even the insignificant ones, divorce taught me that I needed to confront the mirror and take inventory of the good, bad and ugly things about myself and lay down my entitlement and expectations, cancer taught me to let go and need people and watching my husband suffer taught me patience and loving without requiring something in return.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
I think smart people like those who are in traditional medicine world get HEALTH care wrong because they are focused on SICK care. I believe the system they study in does not take a holistic approach to the patient but instead looks at patient as parts to be fixed with medications, injections or removal of defected parts. Sometimes that is necessary and I am grateful for their ability to solve acute problems like appendicitis and implanting valves in order to a heal a heart. In the rare disease space, the autoimmune space, the conditions that can not be fixed with a shot I feel they give up too easy because it does not fit into their protocols. Our bodies have the ability to heal when obstacles are removed, when food is not full of chemicals, when products don’t disrupt our hormones, when we are encouraged to get some sun, take a walk, connect and heal what your holding onto. When the public believes that a GLP-1 shot will fix all their issues and make them skinny or shoves a public health message to take a vaccine that is has not undergone all the trails we are in a place where money is ruling over true health care. Science is a constantly evolving field, science is about observing, hypothesizing, testing, experimenting and refining not about proving absolute truths. But when an industry has to protect itself then we get alot of smart people getting it wrong at the cost of others being their guinea pigs.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
Expectations in a relationship are the death of true connection and comparison is the death of joy.
