In this raw and disruptive conversation, Tracy shares her story of growing up in severe dysfunction — from childhood abuse, neglect, and emotional isolation to being a “different” child who could see, hear, and feel what others couldn’t. She walks us through how survival mode became a learned pattern, not a personality trait, and how we often cling to our trauma stories because there’s a hidden payoff: attention, identity, and a sense of power in being “the one who suffered.” We dive into what it really means to guard your soul, why staying in victimhood quietly hands your power back to the people who hurt you, and how to choose a new narrative without denying what you lived through. This episode is a collision of spirituality, self-responsibility, and soul-level truth.

🔑 Key Takeaways

“We call ourselves victims and don’t realize we’re handing our power back to the person who harmed us.”

“Most of the time, people aren’t doing things to us. They’re just doing things. We stepped into the blast radius.”

“Survival mode isn’t your natural state. It’s a learned response, reinforced by ‘no’ after ‘no’ after ‘no.’”

“Yesterday ended at 11:59. You don’t have to drag it into today unless you choose to.”
