So you can choose to pay now and pay a little bit more for better food. Or you can pay a whole lot more later when you're horribly sick. And you're gonna have to be prescribed all kinds of medications that might make your lifestyle kind of barely tolerable before you die a horrible death.” “What you put in your body is exactly like the type of fluids you put in your car. If you put crappy gas in your car, your car is not going to perform at its optimal level, and things are going to break down faster… the same thing is going to happen to your body. And your body is infinitely more important than anything you drive.” “You're going to have conflicts, especially within your home, within your relationships, or whatever, but always do your best to come from a space of love.

The most important business relationship you can have is the one with your spouse or significant other and then with your kids. Actually, most businesses fail because one of those relationships is not great. We should therefore be spending much of our time with our spouses or children, but that is not always the case. Entrepreneurs spend all their time and energy in the business and boardrooms and only get “by the way” time for their immediate family.  The effects of a family with disunity, conflict, and lack of effective communication will spiral down to the business. Actually, the family unit is the testing ground for effective leadership and success in business. Do you want to learn skills and strategies for a successful family?

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Tracy Kopp, owner and director of The Urban Alchemist, a holistic health clinic with a team of over fifteen expert health and wellness practitioners providing wellbeing solutions for their clients’ mind, body and soul. Tracy, with so much courage and vulnerability, has come to share her story. She has reached a point in her journey where sharing what she has learned for the benefit of others feels an important part of her healing process. Amrit and Tracy dive deep into an open and heartfelt conversation about the wounds that have been stuck in Tracy’s body and heart for so long, the healing process she is facing with amazing fortitude and the positive effects on her most loved ones. The ‘mother wound’ may be defined as a loss or a lack of mothering. This is typically a deficit in the mother-daughter relationships that is passed down through generations of women in patriarchal cultures, and it is a reflection on how we have experienced parenting and how we parent. In her early twenties, Tracy suffered from anxiety and depression. She looked to talk therapy for answers but couldn’t find her way out of feeling like a victim in her relationships. She blamed her mother for a great deal of her pain. Like many mother/daughter relationships, theirs was marked by emotional distance. Having never been shown how to manage her own feelings, Tracy’s mother had been unable to pass on this skill to her daughter. Tracy became a mother of a beautiful baby girl, Ivy, at just 21. Neither herself nor her partner had any idea of the responsibilities of parenthood. In Ivy’s early years, Tracy enjoyed motherhood and her child tremendously, but things began to get dark. She and her partner were constantly fighting. Ivy’s needs went unmet for long periods of time and when the family eventually broke down, Ivy suffered deep trauma as her parent’s feud escalated. As a single mother carrying most of the load of caring for her daughter, Tracy was consumed by her own difficulties. She lacked the skills to control her own feelings of rage and despair, and acted abusively toward her daughter much of the time. She knew this was harmful for her daughter, but the struggle with her own demons left little room for learning patience or grace. Over time, Tracy saw the impact this cycle was having on her daughter. She wondered if the damage done was so great that their relationship might never be repaired. With a great deal of shame and fear, she decided it was time to have a look at what was going on inside herself. By turning within and facing what was hard to see, she began to recognize the harmful patterns inherent in her parenting and slowly break them. Today Ivy and Tracy have reached a place of real care and love where there is true understanding of the other’s experience. “I feel that she forgives me in a really meaningful way because she has seen how deep I will dig for her.” Tracy knows that her story is not unique and feels that by speaking openly about her journey, she may help others recognise that they, too, can make amends when they’ve hurt someone close.

It's the last episode with Tracy in our Walking from Bondage to Breakthrough series, and she leaves us with her story of chronic illness. It's her testimony of how God has healed, and continues to heal, in a year-long battle with Vestibular Neuritis. You will love hearing her personal story as she describes what life is like for her right now, but moreso no matter how she feels, she determined long ago that wherever God leads her, she will preach Christ! What Tracy is learning through her illness:Self-reliance is a myth. “Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” (Matthew 6:33-34, MSG)“Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle, but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them - living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.” (Romans 8:5-8, MSG)How to Glance at her body, but GAZE at Jesus."He was fully convinced that God was able to do whatever He promised.” (Romans 4:18-24)How to wait expectantly for healing.I will daily ASK for healing.I will daily BELIEVE for healing.I will daily TRUST in God’s provisions of strength, grace and help in the midst of my chronic illness.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Tracy talks about ADHD and gratitude. A practice of gratitude is important for every one but for those of us with ADHD it’s even more important. Why? Because processing emotions start in the brain itself and emotions motivate action. That means that if your emotions are negative you will be completely unmotivated but if you’re emotions are positive and you’re working in an area of high interest, the sky is the limit.   Discover: Why we can’t get anything done without positive emotion  How positive emotion is directly related to dopamine, memory, behavior, focus and motivation.  How gratitude directly influences our emotions How a practice of gratitude helps our ADHD symptoms How gratitude affects sleep How gratitude affects executive function including focus How gratitude makes it more likely that we will stick to our goals and start new habits How gratitude boosts dopamine and seratonin in our brains How gratitude allows us to focus on those things that are going right in our lives rather than focusing on what’s wrong.  How gratitude will make you more friends and people that want to be around you How to start a Gratitude Journal where you start and end every day in positive emotion What Tracy’s Positive Emotion Dossier is and how it can help you How the idea in the book 29 Gifts helped Tracy increase her gratitude and uplevel her holidays last year.  How Abraham Hicks can help you to change your negative thoughts to focus more on gratitude and why your thoughts will always determine how happy you are.    Resources:   ADHD and the Practice of Gratitude by Dr. Kari Miller   The Five Minute Journal   29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life   Tracy's Positive Emotion Dossier from Your ADHD Brain Is A-OK!

"You can call it paranoia, or you can call it innovation. The language doesn't matter if the feeling is the same. This is all an experiment I'm running eight years in of: How do I update my mindset to want to approach things by activating the pleasure center more than the pain center.  I'm more likely to move away from pain and towards pleasure. So why don't I make innovation a game and bring play to, literally playfulness, into it.

Perhaps you want to bring more magic into the world in the form of an animated film or video game. Inevitably, such a significant undertaking will face big challenges. What gives filmmakers and game designers the drive to persist over the years it takes to complete such substantial projects—when there is no guarantee or reward or recognition? Today, Jeffrey goes behind-the-scenes of wonder-making with filmmaker, animator, director and producer Mark Osborne, whose film The Little Prince received France’s prestigious César Award for Best Animated Film, and game designer, educator and Game Design Workshop author Tracy Fullerton, who serves as Director of the USC Games Program and Professor and Chair of the Interactive Media & Games Division of the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Mark and Tracy explore the collaborative nature of the work they do, explaining how their respective teams foster curiosity and generate unexpected ideas via play, affording special attention to craft and detail along the way. Mark describes his commitment to doing justice to The Little Prince, and Tracy offers insight around the personal connection her ‘book club’ developed with the award-winning Walden, a game. Tracy and Mark share their favorite elements of wonder in The Little Prince and Walden, discussing the painstaking effort involved in taking our breath away.

Tracy Malone is the founder of the Narcissist Abuse Support website and the Tracy A Malone YouTube channel. She is a survivor of a lifetime of unknown narcissistic abuse from her family of origin as well as relationships and marriages in her adulthood. During her path of healing she developed the Narcissist Abuse Support website as a resource for survivors with over 1000 free listings available sorted state by state. Links to find out more!

She has a background in marketing and website design and has used those skills to create her YouTube channel Tracy A Malone, her Narcissist Abuse Support website https://narcissistabusesupport.com, and a Podcast. Angie Atkinson did an interview with her and “the other women” in their her relationship to highlight their story. How we met over a year ago 00:02:53 - A little over a year ago I was looking for help with my website and I found Tracy on Twitter talking about narcissistic abuse but her site was a web marketing business. So I reached out to her not realizing she had her own channel and around the same time she just did an interview on Angie Atkinson’s channel. The start of her journey to collect this information 00:03:38 - When Tracy learned about narcissistic abuse about two and half years ago she went looking for information and couldn’t find resources. She found information that every state has but it wasn’t easily accessible for the individual looking for support. She did find a therapist that validated her experience but she wanted to consolidate that information and put it in one place to help people. So many survivors just do not know where to turn for good information. Tracy also talks about her hyper vigilant experience and turning into a “detective” to try and figure out what was going on. In her area the only resource she found was a therapist that was $800 a week, most people can’t afford that and the free resources really work. She also talks about how emotional, financial and sexual abuse are how they are also included in the domestic violence umbrella. It’s the actions you have to focus on 00:11:00 - Tracy talks about her experience within the domestic violence community and how you really have to focus on the actions of the abuser. Throwing terms around like “narcissist” can actually hinder your ability to get support and to be believed. Tracy is working closely with the domestic violence support community to learn more about the resources and the way professionals, to include law enforcement, approach these complex situations. Still working on herself to improve her live 00:14:10 - Tracy discusses her self improvement path and how she is still working on herself. She talks about how when you open up this “can of worms” and start learning about all of this and about issues you were holding on to but that were buried. We talk about how our past is how we end up in these toxic relationships in the first place. Working on your self, although a lot of work, gives us a tremendous “payoff’ with a better life and removing the toxic from our lives. Tracy’s Narcissist Setup 00:16:27 - Tracy quickly dives in to her story of how her narcissist set her up and had her arrested for domestic violence. This was the lowest point in her life and was worse than her divorce from her husband that she thought was the worst thing she had ever experienced. This experience caused her to look in to herself and really take that step to start learning about her life and how she got here. She also talks about how a lot of people get stuck learning about their abuser and do not take the next step to learn about themselves. Tracy talks about how if you do not address the cause of how you pulled these toxic people into your life you will do it again. When you work on yourself you learn to set boundaries and take care of your own issues like codependency or being a people pleaser. What Tracy is most proud of with the site 00:18:21 - Tracy talks about all the people she’s met in this arena that are helping and doing great things in the community. She is using her platform to teach people other modalities of helping people to get better. In this she’s partnered with others to create two courses on her site that are available right now. One is focused on getting out of the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder where triggers are negatively effecting your life. The second course is focused on getting rid of the anger and the forgiveness piece of the healing process. She is also working on a boundary course based off what she has been teaching in her meet up groups in her local area. Local meet-up groups 00:20:09 - Tracy talks about her local meet-up groups. When she originally was looking for a support group there wasn’t one in her area. She was used to the “meet-up” group that she had used for other interests like the Wordpress group she was a member of. So she just started one on meetup.com and it quickly grew with people signing up to join. Within the first week there were 17 people signed up and on the first meeting they had 10 people. Tracy also talks about different areas you can use as space for the meeting. Before starting her first meeting she reached out to all the different narcissistic abuse recovery meet-up groups for advice. Tracy has noticed that in her meet-up group the people effected are different. Sometimes it’s all children of narcissist other times it’s half and half with divorce. A lot of people drive a couple of hours to attend the meeting. Hosting Special Guests at the Meet-ups 00:25:17 - Tracy has also worked with various leaders in the narcissistic abuse recovery community to be guest speakers at the local meet ups. [Dr. Karyl McBride] was one such guest who has written “Will I ever Be Good Enough” and “Will I Ever Be Free of You?” To talk to the members of the group. When you are questioning if you should go to a meet-up 00:25:51 - Tracy talks about the going to a meeting that might be a few hours a way. She recommends that you do it, even if once. Plus if you go and see how one is run then it will give you ideas on how to create your own support meet-up group in your local area. She also talks about how you don’t have to be a therapist or even a YouTuber to create a meet-up group in your area. We also talk about how the community of targeted people are generally really good empathic people. Tracy has a list of the current narcissistic abuse recovery meet-up groups which sadly only includes ones in the United States. The website also has a therapist directory 00:30:12 - Tracy has also created a directory of other resources to include therapists from all over the world. Once a month she updates the list to keep the things current. The resources include the state provide services, blog post written by over 150 contributors, and books. Helping you setup your own meet-up group 00:32:19 - Tracy is will to help others who are interested in setting up their own local groups. If you are interested in setting up your own group you can email Tracy and she will provide you help! Tracy is working to influencers into her meetings 00:33:13 - During her meeting she’s also bringing other influencers in via remote Zoom meetings. A few weeks prior to the recording of this podcast she was able to bring [Ross Rosenberg] into the meet up. He created a presentation and recorded it for the audience. It was a combination of Q&A and a presentation. As of the time of this podcast/show notes the video of this session has not been posted. What is the next step in her journey 00:36:09 - Tracy talks about the next step in her journey and what she is planning to do for her community. Her next goal is to find ways to create funding to provide more services to her local and online community. She hopes to be able to provide a more robust service to help people who are struggling with this type of abuse. Tracy talks about as she works with the domestic violence community she’s getting a bigger picture view of the problem and ways she could further help. Tracy and Duane talk about the balance of doing this “part time” and growing these community into a self sustaining endeavor. Parental Alienation and the local college 00:38:32 - Tracy recently met with a professor from her local area college that is working on gathering hard data concerning parental alienation. She has also given a TEDx talk concerning her findings her team and all the research. This professor is working on a peer reviewed paper in an effort to have parental alienation classified as domestic violence. Change is starting to occur and the awareness and data is helping to modify the way parental alienation is looked at within the family court system and public services. Tracy brings the conversation back around about why it is so important with the meet-ups to have people who understand what you are going through. It is so difficult when outsiders just can’t comprehend your personal experience. You can find [Tracy interview with Professor Jennifer Harman] from the University of Colorado. New quiz to help people identify what stage they are in 00:43:55 - Tracy and her team have developed a new quiz on the [www.narcissistabusesupport.com] site help people determine where they are at in the process. This then funnels them into the correct stage of information to help them the most in their healing process. The link for the [Stage of Recovery Quiz]! Free Drawing for one of Tracy’s Courses 00:45:38 - Tracy offers a free drawing for one lucky listen for either “Getting over the Anger” or the “PTSD Trigger Course”. To enter this drawing leave a comment on the post for the show notes of the podcast and say “#IWantToHeal” and one week after this show publishes I will pick one user at random to get one of the courses.
