Tracy, this has to be one of the most powerful messages I needed to hear this morning. I am at this point in my life, and hearing you put into words what I've been experiencing this past year is so clarifying. Thank you for this video. To answer your question - my spouse is perfectly content with as is, and I'm not. I've also walked away from more than one friendship and family relationship this past year because who I am no longer matches with who they are. You are the best.
I can't describe how I'm experiencing the situation that I'm outgrowing my past friends who I had socialized with for almost 30 years....I can't stop from growing....I still thirst for new information as well as nourishing myself with resourceful information.
Another gem of video and such good timing to be reminded to stay in my lane. I was about to talk to a childhood friend about the way she is dangerously living her life lately. I can’t “save” her because she doesn’t want to be “saved”. Has nothing to do with me, I will stay in my lane! Thank you Tracy! 💕
This!! Exactly. Thank you, Tracy, for this video. I have been on the self-development path since a little over a year and these are exactly my observations. I have had friends fall off my circle because I dared to set boundaries. I do still struggle with one particular friend with whom I initially started this journey. I went from becoming an "all talk no action" person to someone who takes charge of her life everyday, but this friend still remains way behind. I find it frustrating that every time we catch up she only talks about changing things in her life but does nothing - and the topics today are the same we discussed 7-8 years ago when we first met. I have been setting boundaries and higher standards for people I would like to mingle with, but am having a very hard time finding any. Hence, your statement that the extra mile is truly lonely, applies to the T.
I recently ended a friendship because of this same scenario. She was stuck and I couldn’t help her. She was getting a secondary benefit from it. She wanted sympathy and not solutions. It was draining me even though I feel sad the way it ended. I’m more at peace now and feel my energy coming back. Hope it works out for you.
A powerful message with this one Tracy. Wow! I have begun to see with new eyes because of the work I am putting in and due to my relationship with our Lord and Savior. With these new eyes I have noticed that certain people in my life and my relationship with them, just aren’t what it used to be. I am OK with this, actually more than OK. It’s the family members that I am struggling most with, as they are blood. Boundary setting is most difficult with those individuals.
Ugh. This was sooo good. I love my friends but do feel a little disconnected lately as I've been working on self-growth for a few years now. I am looking forward to finding more gals who are on a path to "going that extra mile". Thanks again for such invaluable insight!
Alot of the time I can't find the words to explain how I feel. Your words today explain how I've been feeling. Thank you for your encouraging words. Aubrey
I've always paid my bills, never got so much as a speeding ticket and I cook, clean, and sew. I'm there for my family and try to maintain healthy relationships BUT lately I've been feeling like I'm growing out of some real childish, immature ways. If the basement is the one step above the foundation on self-growth, I'm still real estate shopping for my soil. Anyways...I feel guilty on maturing because I'm in my late 30s! "Women mature faster than men." Not this one. I enjoy and RELISH being silly. Being serious makes me uncomfortable......but I guess maybe I'm too silly too often :( so I'm trying :) Its aggravating but I'm trying :)
OMG!! What a topic!! Tracy I have never heard anyone bringing this up. It’s so relatable. It’s a big emotional challenge to see our loved ones not ready to be a part of self development path. I wish you elaborated more on what we can do in order to maintain our own sanity. 😍😍
Tracy, Good Morning! This is exactly what I am experiencing right now. In all areas of my life. My s/o has gotten the unspoken message that he needs to level up, or miss out on connecting with me. I have a 20 year friendship that I’m releasing because it was draining my energy. I am careful with who I let into my space because I just don’t have time for stuck energy. Thank you Tracy for everything you present here and on Instagram ❤️❤️
“I’ll take the punches”! Such a great perspective! Yes, I’m experiencing this now and over the last few years. My original family members are stuck in the original wounds and refuse to budge or allow for me as a unique person. It’s so sad but I have to move on.
Oh Tracy, you describe my life so accurately, thankfully not with my marriage but with most friend & family relationships. How I would love to find a “Tracy Club” in my local world to connect with & grow together!! You are such a gem; thank you for all of your wisdom & encouragement! ❤
I'm going through a few videos and looking mostly for those just like this. I have been on a self growth for 40 years. Thank you for all these great videos.
Oh yes! This resonates with me. Friends, family, coworkers are on their journey and I'm on mine. It is comforting to have information on how best to handle the inner turmoil from making changes in my life. I tell myself "reason and season."
God Bless you - this message is exactly what I needed to hear- my hobbies and circle of friends is growing as is my world -at 59 years old !-and i find frienships are changing- a good thing.. some good byes need to be said
Thank you Tracy. Indeed, my spouse and I totally disconnected years ago, it caused grief and eventually divorce. Upon seeing him recently, I realized that the gap is enormous and it may me doubt my instincts as to how I could have married such an individual. He still feels that I always put him down and perhaps I did. However, no justification for his behavior. With that I close as it is the distant past and we move forward and up. thanks again, you are fabulous!
Hello Tracy, thank you for your video's they are always so helpful. May I ask you to please consider making a video on things to say and not to say or do when someone is in mourning? And how to respond to someone when they say hurtful things to a mourning person? My dear neighbor who has 5 children recently lost a child and someone asked her (a few days after the funeral of her daughter) why she was still crying because she had 4 other children so it wasn't that bad...It broke my neighbor's heart and I didn't know what to do or say I could just cry at what happened to her! Can you please make a video on funeral and mourning etiquette? Thank you so much for everything. God bless!
Thank you so much Tracy. You help me tremendously to continue my journey week after week for more than two years now and now I begin to harvest the results of my efforts, it feels so good 😊
I'm a longtime follower and consider you to be my most prominent mentor. 💕 Yes!! 💯 percent agree! Luckily my husband is along for the ride even though he doesn't pursue growth in the same way that I do. ❤. Also, I love your hair (always) in this video! What are your styling tools to get this polished but not overdone look?

Yes, I'm struggling the same with my sister.

Points well taken, and I believe you'd agree with this quote: "What is to give light must endure burning", 🥰

I don't think I have ever seen a pear shaped face. So attractive
I don't know that I have, either. I'm sure they are out there. There's a shape for everything.
