Collapsing time… getting where you want to go the fastest way possible.

I recently set a big goal for myself. A goal so big that it honestly scares me a little. And my plan was to hit this goal by the end of this year.

Then my coach said to me, ‘how about achieving it in half the time?’ I was like 😱 at first.

And then I thought about it and it totally made sense.

The theory behind this is that action needs to be taken right away. If not, then there is the tendency to wait until closer to the due date to start taking a bunch of action. Therefore proving the phase: "we take as long as we give ourselves."

When collapsing time like this, every moment is precious.

One powerful thought that helps get me moving and keep me moving is:

“What can I do today to move the needle and get closer to reaching my goal?”

This has opened a world of possibility for me. I am no longer waiting to do something next week or next month. I’m doing it now. And not in a way that’s overwhelming. In an exciting way.

One thing I know for sure - I will hit my goal no matter how long it takes. When I work to collapse time to achieve my goal in 6 months, I will be working very intentionally to accomplish this.

But what if it takes longer? What if it takes 7 months, 10 months, 12 months, or even longer? I will be good with that. And so grateful that I found what I needed to do to achieve something like this.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹.

So if this resonated with you, are you up for collapsing the time it will take to reach one of your goals? What does that look like for you?

I used to think I needed more motivation to get things done. At times I thought I was lazy and lacked discipline for not doing the things that I wanted or that I needed to do.

My default response to something new or a challenging situation was avoidance. I avoided making decisions, having conversations, starting tasks in my business or job, even listening to voicemails or reading emails.

The reality was that I didn’t need more motivational quotes to get me to take action. What I needed was to support my body and my mind.

Because our bodies perceive avoidance as danger, the fight, flight, freeze (FFF) response is turned on. Our bodies react to the pressure, overload, and emotional discomfort by prioritizing safety and conserving energy rather than experiencing pleasure, connection or productivity. This is protective, not dysfunctional.

Now that I know this and know how to support myself when something new or challenging comes up, I can move swiftly past my default ‘avoidance response’ and do the thing that needs to be done. It’s not always easy, but I know how to support myself through it when it is hard.

What I’m experiencing now is improved productivity - I am getting so much done in less time, I’m not jumpy like before or feel like my body is always on edge. My relationships and my work are so much better because I’m not avoiding the things that make these successful.

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. You don’t need more willpower. What you need is support. If you’re curious about what support could look like, send me a message.

There will never be a time when we don’t have a to do list.

At every stage of our lives we will believe we are busy and can’t possibly take on another thing.

Some of us have kids and are thrown into a different level of ‘busy’ overnight - a level of ‘busy’ that we’ve never dealt with before. And we figure it out.

When we’re busy and have a long to-do list and then we have negative thoughts about it on top of it, that’s where the struggle comes in.

When we think things like:
Why do I have to do all of these things?
Why is it always up to me?
I never have time for myself.
I will never finish all of this.
I am always behind.

Rather than:
I choose to do all of these things because my family matters to me.
I’m grateful for the balance I’m creating between work and family - even if it’s not perfect.
Even when it’s not my favorite, my work serves a purpose in my life right now.
I can decide what actually needs my attention today.
This busy season won’t last forever.

When you have supporting thoughts, it doesn’t take away what’s on your list but it does move you from avoidance to the ability to respond.

And when this happens our brains go to a place of problem solving:
Who can help me with this?
How can I rearrange my schedule to fit in time for me to get my nails done?
What doesn’t need to be done right now?
How can I find an hour this weekend to take care of several of these things?

And the more you overcome the current challenges you’re facing, the faster and more capable you will be when tackling similar challenges in the future.

This is how I get a lot of things done when running a business, working in my corporate job, being a wife and a very present mom (I like to attend all of the ‘kid’ things), and working out and eating healthy.

And this is also how I help my clients. This shift doesn’t add any hours in the day, but it gives you clarity, momentum, and the ability to take action. If this resonated with you and you want help creating this shift in your own life, send me a PM. I’d love to talk with you.

Hi, I’m Tracy and I’m a health coach.

I love all things health and wellness - especially helping women step into a healthier version of themselves they didn’t even know was possible.

Are you a mom who is overwhelmed by all the things that just keep coming at you? Like the waves in the ocean, some things are small and some are big. But regardless they keep coming whether you’re ready or not. I help you plan for the waves instead of being knocked over by them. so you feel calm and prepared.

Are you not feeling like yourself anymore? Do you feel run down and that you need to pull yourself through the day? I’ll help you improve your energy so you can tackle your day with ease.

Do things in your life (the bills, eating healthy, the house, …) feel out of control? I’ll help you regain control and stay on top of all of these demands in a way that feels manageable and realistic.

Are you tired of being at the bottom of the priority list? After working together you will know how to prioritize your needs without feeling guilty - because taking care of yourself benefits everyone.

Are you finished with fad diets and having to eat salads all the time when you want to lose weight? Me too! Which is why I teach my clients easy, sustainable ways to lose weight and not feel deprived.

Tired of starting over on Mondays and working on your health ‘someday?’ This is your sign. There’s no better time than right now to get started.

Are you curious about what working with a health coach looks like? Send me a PM and we’ll talk.

When I work with my clients, we always start in the same place. Because if you want to succeed in anything you must first do this:

Believe it’s possible.

This is because if you’re operating from a place of impossibility the likelihood that you will take enough action, let alone any action at all, is very low.

However if you’re operating from a place of belief - believing your result is inevitable or even just possible - the likelihood of taking a lot of action is very high. It may take a little trial and error to get to what works but you will be figuring it out along the way when you’re believing that you’re going to get the result.

Think about it, if you think that age is just a number and that getting older doesn’t mean that your health has to suffer (living with aches and pains, trouble losing weight or getting pregnant, suffering with brain fog and a poor memory), then you will be more likely to lead a healthier lifestyle - get adequate and quality sleep, eat whole foods, exercise, etc. However if you think these things are inevitable then you’re less likely to live a healthy lifestyle. You think you’re destined to have these symptoms and there is no way around them.

Therefore if you want to feel better and have different results in your life, start by believing these results are possible.

This is not always easy. But that’s why people want help - they want to feel supported through the process. So, if you’re looking to create different results in your life and want the support to help you do this, I can help. Let’s hop on a consult call to discuss what’s going on. Because the results you’re looking for are within your reach. Time to step into possibility and make them a reality. 💛

If you’re a mom who feels overwhelmed and like you can’t keep up with everything, you’re going to want to pay attention to this.

Moms have a lot going on. When you’re raising little people the days can be very hectic. There’s a mental load you carry, and a never ending list of appointments, school and activity stuff, keeping up with the house, while also handling the meltdowns and kissing boo boos.

There’s a lot going on which can easily lead to overwhelm, exhaustion, anxiety, having a short temper and yelling a lot - the more commonly talked about symptoms. But feeling this overwhelm can also show up as poor sleep, blood sugar and hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies. So your mental, emotional, and physical health are all impacted.

When I work with my clients who are moms and facing all of these challenges, we focus on easy shifts and sustainable lifestyle changes that reducing stress, while supporting these pillars of health in order to:

🌟 feel calm instead of constantly on edge

🌟 have more energy and not feel so drained all the time

🌟stay on top of all the appointments, school commitments, activities, etc. rather than constantly worrying she’s going to forget something

🌟 respond to stressful situations rather than react

🌟take time for herself without feeling guilty

It’s important to do these things because your energy sets the stage for your household. When you take care of you, you will see a positive ripple effect on the rest of your family.

If you feel like you’re in survival mode and are ready for things to feel lighter and more manageable, I’d love to connect. Send me a PM to book a free consult and let’s talk about what support could look like for you.

Hi, I’m Tracy, and I’m a health coach—and I deeply love the work I do.

Today marks 27 years since my Dad went to heaven. I’m 48 years old now and have spent more than half of my life without him. I miss him terribly, but I’m forever grateful for the love, wisdom, and belief he poured into me.

He is one of the driving forces behind what I do.

I can still hear his words: “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰.” He believed in me so deeply and taught me how to believe in myself. That mindset shaped me—and it’s why I’ve learned to keep going, even when things are hard… especially when they’re hard. It’s where my resilience was built.

For as long as I can remember, my Dad suffered with rheumatoid arthritis. Medication was the only thing that brought him relief—until it didn’t.

In his later years, the toll those medications took on his body became painfully evident. His body began failing him in different ways, and it was so hard to watch him suffer. I remember sitting with him in the hospital one day, watching TV, when a commercial or news segment came on about a new medication that was supposed to “revolutionize” pain relief for RA patients. He asked me to write the name down because he couldn’t use his hands at the time.

And I often think about how much I wish I knew then what I know now.

I wish I could go back and help him—not by searching for the next medication to dull the pain, but by giving him real solutions that support healing.

His experience is what drove me to learn how to heal and maintain health, so I wouldn’t have to suffer the same way. And it’s what drives me to help others today.

I’m not anti-medication. But I do believe it’s overused. I believe that when we face health challenges, we should be asking questions and focusing on what supports healing—not just what numbs symptoms.

I truly believe that if my Dad were alive today, experiencing the same symptoms, I could help him.

And that belief is at the heart of the work I do now.

💛 If you’re dealing with ongoing symptoms and you feel called to approach your health differently, I’d love to support you. You can book a complimentary consult by sending me a PM.

Hi I’m Tracy and I’m a health coach. I help women feel healthier.

Over the years I’ve had my health challenges. I’m definitely blessed that nothing serious was wrong. But I’ve dealt with several things that impacted my quality of life and also had me taking several medications.

And as I’ve fought through and overcome each of these struggles (acid reflux, IBS, gastroparesis, infertility, seasonal allergies that eventually lasted through all seasons, heart palpitations), what I’ve come to learn is that:

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡.

Except for the heart palpitations (only because I was ‘hesitant to start medication’), I took medication for each and every one of these issues at one time or another. It was the first and only thing recommended to me. So if there was a magic pill, it wasn’t prescribed to me.

Now I can understand why we want a magic pill - one of the reasons is that we want to feel better in the shortest time possible.

If that’s the case, then what we need to do is listen to our bodies first and foremost. We need to see the symptoms for what they are - the body’s way of communicating that something is off.

So rather than stifling these symptoms, we need to listen to them. And when we start addressing them by removing or overcoming things that are causing them, or add things that will alleviate them once and for all, 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨.

If you have some nagging symptoms that are impacting your life and you’re ready to learn how to get rid of them once and for all, I can help you. The first step is to set up a consult where we can start identifying what’s causing you to feel the way you do. I will let you know how I would address them so that you can feel healthier. Send me a PM if you’re interested in talking.
