Advertise on podcast: Grit and Grace with Tracy

This is the very last episode of Grit and Grace with Tracy.  Inside this episode I share why this show had to come to an end, and I give you a bit of a peak about what is coming next.  Thank you so much to everyone who has tuned in over the years.  I have learned so much, and it's been such a great experience.    

Have you ever met someone wise beyond their years and wondered how they got there? If you are the kind of person that likes to extract the lessons learned and wisdom from the circumstances in your life, then you will appreciate this episode.  If someone you know is going through a hard season, this might also be a good episode to pass on.    

Being a leader can be hard.  It's impossible to keep everyone happy, and often women don't own their roles.  They will diminish thier roles, and not own their position.   In this conversation I explore the difference and what differenciates being a leader vs a control freak. 

Life for many right now feels like you are in the middle of the storm.  Your nervous system is in fight or flight, your hope molecules are dwindling, and you struggle to see the positive.   In this episode you will take a look at how we are impacted by the storms that are within our control and the storms that are a perception driven by your focus.   

In this episode I share how I went from a promise is a promise to no episodes for 6 months.  I share the impact of making changes in our lives and how sometimes our new habits and patterns create conflict and our promises we make to ourselves compete with one another.   If you have ever promised to get more sleep and get more exercise at the same time, you will enjoy this episode.   See you on the inside.    Tracy

This is a short episode that I recorded on the fly, because I promised myself I would.  When we keep our promises to ourselves for the small things, it builds self-trust and confidence as we navigate the bigger things.   At the end of the day it's about doing the reps - showing up when we don't want to.    

Life is about change, and most of the time change requires us to show up in a different way.  Our habits, patterns, and priorities shape who we are, what we do and how we show up.  When we have big goals and dreams we have to transform our thoughts, beliefs, habits, and priorities.   There is someone out there that has something calling her to change.  To go after her biggest dreams or desires, but she knows it will cause a disruption in her life.  She knows it will cause issues.   This episode is about convincing her that she doesnt need permission.  She doesn't need to ask to prioritize herself.   If you know of someone who needs to be reminded and helped to claim her dreams and live into her possibility, please share with them.  

In this first health and wellness episode, I am happy to share how we use colloidal silver.   This is not medical advice, I am simply sharing how and when/why I use this with my family.  Colloidal silver is one of those things that I always have around because it's so vertsitile.  If you have any recipes or methods you use with colloidal silver, I would love if you shared with me.   As promised, I am sharing some links and additional information sources so you can make the decision if it's right for you.  Dr. Axe https://youtu.be/y-vX0LxL7po?si=cSBQahA_PZyDdXLF    

In recent weeks we have heard of a number of big companies that have abruptly announced that they will be closing their doors.   After working with businesses that are navigating challenging financial situations for the last 20+ years, I wanted to share some facts and myths around bankruptcy and insolvency and some potential considerations that business owners need to think about when there are more bills & expenses vs cash left to cover everything.   We need to have these conversations to support those facing these challenges. 

In this episode I share my 'why' behind adding health and wellness information into the podcast.  It's a short one, but will help you understand the shifts in this show.   

One of the greatest regrets of the dying is that they didn't live life on their terms because they were afraid of what others would think.   Detaching from the opinion of others is an action item, not a 'one and done' scenario.  We must detach and align over and over again so we stay on course to live the life we want.   In this episode I share the 4 strategies I use when other's opinions creep in and try and influence how I show up.  I hope that you will share with those that dim their light and not show up authentically because they are afraid of what others will think.  If someone you know is always taking things to heart and taking things personally, I hope you will share this with them.  It's normal, and then it's also necessary to detach.   

Do you approach a year with with a hope and a prayer that the year will be better?  Or do you invest the time to design your year?  In this episode we explore the 5 aspects to designing your year so that it is what you wanted it to be.   You deserve to have the life you are proud to call yours.  This episode asks simple questions to help you design your year in a way that it supports your wildest adventures and biggest dreams.   

If you prioritize goal setting and personal development, you will also want to start implementing a book end or summary to your year.   Capturing your lessons learned and other aspects of the year helps you to extract the wisdom from even the most challenging experiences.  If you are looking to transform how you transition into a new year, you will find these 5 reflective questions helpful.   

Showing up with consistency is a challenge most of us face.  It is the one thing that holds most people back from getting the results they want and making the changes they desire in their lives.   What will it take for you to remain consistent in busy seasons? Have a listen and see if it helps you shift your mindset about showing up consistently.  

If you are an entrepreneur in small town, chances are you don't have direct access to your customers via an email list.   In this episode I share how and why you need an email list and how it will impact your business an relationships with your customers.
