I am a lifelong learner. I constantly read, study, discuss and APPLY what I learn with family, friends and peers in formal & informal settings.

Whether it’s coaching, teaching, selling, leading, administrating, managing, guiding or listening-

I look for how to CONNECT WITH and EMPOWER PEOPLE

I do, and have done this, in my roles as:

A life coach who believes we ALL have the potential to live the life we want
Founder/CEO with my husband in our digital marketing agency since 2012
Adjunct professor teaching psychology to college students
Mama and teacher to our 3 sons over 18 years of homeschooling
A leader of small groups in a variety of settings
HR manager for a manufacturing facility

The me my family and friends know:

I laugh as much as I can.I am a realistic optimist who thinks most of life is ‘figureoutable’.My sister calls me “mellow & bright” like her favorite cold brew coffee.I believe you can never have enough kindness and home cooking.I’m an extrovert who also requires time alone to recharge.

I’m not immune to suffering.

I’ve lost people close to me, dealt with decades of chronic illness, had miscarriages, handled financial difficulties and heard “no” to promotions & project proposals & big things I wanted in life. I’ve picked myself up (sometimes more quickly than others), dusted off and forged ahead after setbacks. My patience, persistence and pivot-ability is strong.

Our challenges may look different but we all have them.

We get to decide how to think and feel and live in our life circumstances.....

Transformation Permeates My Life

The second-hand furniture I reupholster The meals I concoct from whatever is in my fridge (and they are GOOD!) The colorful paintings I create from pictures in my mind The dreams I bring to life The clients I help

Taking something that seems worn, outdated or useless and making it fresh to fit THIS moment and serve purposefully into the future– that’s my jam!

See this chair?

It was sitting in a thrift store, with dirt and grime covering the wood frame and stained, ripped fabric.
Most people didn’t look beyond the sticky sadness.
But I knew the wood frame only needed a good scrub and a coat of stain
While the seat cried out for fresh, modern fabric.
A little bit of time and elbow grease plus vision to see what’s possible then
The restored chair is BETTER THAN NEW.
It has renewed purpose and beauty.
It fits my needs exactly.

Coaching transforms lives like I transformed that chair

The journey between where it WAS and where it IS sweetens the story.

I don’t think life needs to be a constant self-improvement project.
I DO think that life is better when we are at our best as often as we can be.

What My Clients Say

I am so glad I worked with Tracey. One of the things that helped me the most was the way she was able to sense a reservation that I was still holding onto in my business. She was able to sense it, pinpoint it and bring it out into the light so that I could let it go and move forward. After working with Tracey I feel so much more confident and able to move forward without reservations!!
