Meet Tracy Duhs Tracy believes that optimal health is a fundamental right for all of humanity, not just a privilege for a select few. Helping people activate their vitality and feel alive has been Tracy's life long mission. Growing up in a missionary home cultivated her profound sense of compassion and her desire to educate on the simple foundations needed to look and feel our best. By the time she was 15, Tracy had already begun her undergraduate education in medicine. At 16, Tracy shadowed a missionary doctor working in an indigenous village in Guatemala, where she gained hands-on surgical and medical training. The time she spent there opened her eyes and enlarged her heart, to the need for wholistic wellness education and foundations. After her experience in Guatemala, Tracy decided to forgo a traditional allopathic medical career in favor of one that focused on regenerative care and education. When Tracy became a mother, her professional path took a personal turn. Her first child, Grace, was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroid and alopecia universalis at the age of two. Emboldened by her daughter's struggle, Tracy began her journey into into hydration education by pursuing a PhD in the field of biogenetics as well as shadowing doctors from all around the globe to learn their different approaches to disease.  It was through these experiences that Tracy became passionate about hydration as she learned the power hydration has to transform overall health and wellness in all people. Today, Tracy works as a modern wellness advocate specializing in the restorative powers of intelligent hydration. She has parlayed her wealth of experience and knowledge into a multi-dimensional career in wellness advocacy and education, starting with her podcast, HYDRATE. Tracy frequently consults large corporations and hotels to help build and facilitate wellness experiences. She also serves as the Director of the International Brain Summit. Tracy is the founder the Sanctuary Wellness Experience in San Diego and co-founder of Hydrate at the Sanctuary.   Dr. Mike Belkowski talks with Tracy about the following: Her origin story and how they crossed paths in the health and wellness world Why she is passionate about water in the realm of wellness Her experience with water for indigenous people of Guatemala What she has learned from Robert Slovak (“The father of reverse osmosis”) about hydration Reverse osmosis and its benefits for water filtration What Quinton is and where it comes from You can get it at her website at graysonparker.com How some water is more hydrating than others How Quinton healed her grandmother's open wound when nothing else would Structured water, why it's important, and how you can implement it into your life Gerald Pollack and how he coined the phrase for phased water The fourth phase of water in our cells and how it's different from solid, liquid, and gas “Uninformed water” and how our bodies treat different types of water Deuterium-depleted water How deuterium negatively affects mitochondria Ways you can lower deuterium in your diet The importance of light for our nutrition   Check out her podcast - HYDRATE   Read her lifestyle and recipe book - HYDRATE   Instagram  @tracyduhs   Go to her website - tracyduhs.com   - Watch this episode on YouTube Don't forget to check out these health-related recommendations from previous podcast guests! - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook  

Tracy Duhs is a modern wellness hydration expert that has devoted her life to helping people awaken their vitality and feel alive. An educator, founder of two naturopathic clinics, and host of the podcast 'Hydrate with Tracy Duhs'; Through research on the vibrational frequency of the voice, sound, and how it affects our immune system, Tracy's approach to healing took a turning point. "I found out that our bodies are 98.9% water molecules, and water is the source-receiver of all information that we're in contact with. I realised that the words I was saying, and thoughts I was thinking we're imprinting the body of water that I am". For a deeper understanding of this theory, you needn't look any further than Dr. Masaru Emoto's work around crystals formed in frozen water and the changes that occur when concentrated thoughts are directed towards them. Emoto discovered that water from clear springs and water exposed to loving words showed radiant, complex, and colourful snowflake patterns. Contrastingly, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, formed incomplete patterns with dull colours. Tracy's education and healing work is underpinned by the belief that our cells have their own innate intelligence, and by removing the obstacles for healing, giving the body the building blocks for biogenesis, and allowing our cells to do what they know how to do, we can thrive in good health. In this energised chat, Mason and Tracy discuss the nature and different qualities of water, with Tracy giving her best guidance on how to access mineral-rich water, build back up filtered water, and the types of adulterated, traumatised water we should avoid. Be sure to tune in for this epic information, and so much more!   "Everything we put in our body is sending a message to our cells, delivering a message to the body of water that we are".   Mason and Tracy discuss: Eating for hydration. Quinton and its benefits. The fourth phase of water. Deuterium depleted water. The crystalline structure of water. Hydration through your movement. The benefits of molecular hydrogen. Creating a hydration focused lifestyle. Why hydration is not just about water. Gratefulness to build up the structure of water in our body. Filtered water; Not as good for your health as you may think. Metabolic water; The purest most deuterium depleted, structured water there is.    Who is Tracy Duhs?

Isn't it fun how we can connect all the way across the world just through quantum physics, right?   Mason: (00:13) Yeah. It's not going to be too long and we won't need all the technology to do it. So I think it's going to be like internal holograms, it's going to be the psychic connections, we're going to get too hydrated, we're going to get too mineralized. And I think I was wanting to talk about, I'm pretty sure I haven't read your book, but I'm pretty sure what you're saying is if you stay hydrated, you're going to be able to talk to people through your psychic abilities. Is that right?   Tracy Duhs: (00:43) Something like that. How did you know? You're psychic enough to know what I wrote before I wrote it.   Mason: (00:47) I'm hydrated. What can I say? Yeah, I'm really excited about getting my paws on your book as well, because it's really funny. I am a big fan of the Dr. Batmanghelidj books. I don't know if you're aware of those, but it's been so long since I feel like someone's like Viktor Schauberger, Batmanghelidj. And then I was like, there's no one really honing in on board or writing a good book dedicated to water in my sphere anyway. And then you came across my feed or someone mentioned your name. And I was like, "Awesome." Everyone in my community's been craving us to talk about water more. And I just haven't had the right people to bounce off with. So I'm really excited to get your book and really excited about this chat as well.   Tracy Duhs: (01:38) Well, same here. Super excited to talk about it. Right our bodies are 98.9% water molecules if we're not talking about it. That's what I couldn't understand was the same thing like there weren't a lot of people talking more about it.   Mason: (01:53) I think everyone just brushes over it. And just it's like, yeah, cool, hydrated. Good. But let's talk about a couple of the reasons why you decided to go down and that acquiesce rabbit hole and focused on it, because, as we say, not many people are doing it, you've looked at it and gone. You could do what lots of other people do, which is like, yeah. And remember it's one of the pillars, stay hydrated and then go and focus on diet or whatever else it is. But why did I write a book on it? And why is your podcast called hydrate? What were those little facts or things that made you commit?   Tracy Duhs: (02:40) Yeah, that's a great question, Mason. Because I have been obsessed with health and wellness since I was really young and really into the diet and exercise and taking supplements and doing all the things. But I was having my own crucible story crisis of hell at a very young age in my early 20s, just not having a lot of energy, having severe complicated migraines which passed out and just different things happening that I knew that there had to be something more beyond just eating healthy and drinking water and working out. And so when I got pregnant for my daughter, Grace, when I was in my early 20s, I was having severe thirst. I could not quench my thirst no matter how much water I drink. And I didn't have gestational diabetes, all of my blood panels, pathology, everything came back healthy.   Tracy Duhs: (03:50) So I started to notice that the different water I drink, whether it was mountain spring or filter, I would feel more hydrated depending on what kind of water I was drinking. So that just got me interested in, oh, not all water is created the same, right? Just having purified clean water wasn't hydrating me. So that just started taking me down the rabbit hole, because once you start studying water, you realise that you could study it for the rest of your life and never even scratch the surface. It's just so deep and wide. And it excited me. Once I found out that our bodies were 98.9% water molecules and water is the source receiver of all information that comes in contact with. So even if I have my cell phone next to my cup of water, it's sending that information and my water is receiving that information from the frequency that my phone is sending out.   Tracy Duhs: (04:56) And there's so much. Our body is a body of water. It's surprising to think that we're 98.9% water molecules we're not a puddle of water on the floor. It's just so interesting when you really start to dig into it. So yeah, I think it was more from myself, a crisis of health and really wanting to thrive and be healthy and realising how important hydration wasn't that drinking water was just such a small fraction of the story for hydration.   Mason: (05:35) The best topic, I imagine you’d be getting into that area. I don't know whether you'd love it or can't stand it, but talking about different types of water and the quality of different types of water or the superiority, inferiority. Oh my gosh! I've just gone brain dead this morning. Inferiority of particular types of water. I'm going to come out just straight out because it's the most frequent question we get. And then there's like, what type of water do you drink? Or what's the best type of water?   Tracy Duhs: (06:08) Yeah. Well, that's a loaded question in my opinion, because there's just so much when you really get into it. And when I start talking about that, it gets so complex and it goes over people's heads. So most of your listeners I'm sure are really interested in health and wellness and they have a more educated background on that than the average person. But I think that it's important just to go back to the basics and if we can improve hydration just a little bit from what people are doing, then we can keep building on that. Right?   Tracy Duhs: (06:46) So I'll start with the basics. The worst water to drink is filtered water by itself, because it lacks minerals and it has... Especially when you just drink reverse osmosis water or any type of water that has been filtered, it usually has it's dissonant. There isn't coherence in it. There isn't a structure to it. And water has many aspects to it. It has the chemical aspects, the physical aspect, the bio-energetic aspect. And so when I start with the chemistry of it, we want to make sure water is pure. If you go to other countries and there's pathogens in the water or things that are not good for us chemically, then we understand that, that can make us sick. So it is important to filter water. If you are getting tap water or something, you want to filter it, but it's important to break water down and then build it back up.   Tracy Duhs: (07:58) Water has been so adulterated, it's been so traumatised through all of the things that we do to it to process it. And it's really important that we take the water and we're mindful of let's break it down from all the things that have been done to it and build it back up the way nature naturally would. So yes, we want to filter out all of the contamination in the water, and then we want to build it back up with by adding minerals to the water. And that's really important for helping bring structure back into the water, crystalline structure. If you look at a crystal, it's minerals, right? The crystalline structure in the water, we don't want unstructured water, because every thing that we're putting into our body is sending a message to ourselves. It's delivering a message to the body of water that we are.   Tracy Duhs: (08:57) And when you really think of it that way, it's like, "Oh my gosh! The kind of water I drink is so important." And it can be quite confusing, but I say just if you're at the grocery store, stay away from filtered water. If you're just like, "I want to buy a bottle of water," look for spring water in a glass bottle. And that's the simplest way to start. Go to the grocery store, do not pass by all the ones that say filtered, pure, alkaline, unless it's alkaline because it's coming from a natural mineral source. You don't want some processed water that was made into alkaline water. You want to stay away from all that. Just go for natural spring water, glacier water.   Mason: (09:51) That's like straight up. I think hearing you talk, then in the past, I've probably one that's gone and complicated it heavily. Even though I just spent so many years just only drinking spring water that I had harvested myself, I think I realised, especially once I had my own child and I started being a little bit more empathetic for someone listening who's in the city. They don't need me creating some grandiose, rule based way of approaching hydration. Right?   Tracy Duhs: (10:26) Right. Yeah. And then it goes like, okay, so just get some good water in you. And then to really activate hydration, we want to go into the other steps. We want to make sure our mitochondria are healthy. We want to make sure we're moving so that all of that fluid gets into the fascia and the tissues. And when we're stagnant, things pool and they're not moving and they're not getting our joints healthy and lubricated. And so there's a lot that goes into hydration and I think it can be so overwhelming for people. So I just like to break it down and make it simple. And then we can talk about the more details as people can receive it, because I think it can become so overwhelming for people. And they're like, "I just don't know the right thing to do and..."   Mason: (11:23) Especially when you've been asked to take that leap and invest the $2,000 in this filter and that filter.   Tracy Duhs: (11:30) Right. And then someone tells you, "Why did you get that filter? That's the worst one you could have done or that machine that does this to your water, it's actually making it worse." And then people do get overwhelmed.   Mason: (11:44) It is overwhelming. And I've been in that position where I'm the person that's just looking at that filter. And I'm like I've done a lot of research around water throughout the years, but that's also come from a purist bias around sourcing spring water myself. And so I've sat there going, alright Mason, I don't want to be that guy. I don't want to be the burst in the bubble guy. And I also don't want to not tell them how I think about the filter, but then I had to get to the point. I'm like, all right, you're not the bloody expert on water. All right, mate. So stop thinking like you've got the answer and you're the one that has to drop the truth bomb on these people.   Tracy Duhs: (12:26) Yeah. Right.   Mason: (12:26) Doing the best they can.   Tracy Duhs: (12:28) And no one truly has the answer. We are really just now learning so much about water. Gerald Pollack, less than 10 years ago, discovered the fourth phase of water. If you think about that, it's just like, "Whoa, how did we not know that?" We're learning more every single day. And especially as our environment changes and there's more non-native electromagnetic frequencies around us, we have to protect that because we realise that those non-native EMFs are deep polarising our cells. And when you depolarize the cell, you're actually liquefying the inside of the cell, the cytoplasm, which should be that gel like structure that is that fourth phase of water inside the cell. It starts to denature, starts to lose its structure. And that's when they say that you're holding your cell phone, it's literally liquefying the inside of your cells. And once it loses that structure, our body is doesn't have that charge. The cellular communication’s inhibited. And once the cells can't talk to each other, they're not able to do their job as requested.   Mason: (13:46) Right. It's such a great reminder. When you get into your head and you try and find the right answer rather than dropping in and going, what's my intention here with my hydration strategy or with the way that my lifestyle revolves around water and to just come back, yes, we've got non-natives, EMFs, we've got our 5G's and we've got our phones and we've got our laptops and it's all smashing us. And it's like on that side of things, it's the same as like the herbs, the Qing Gong and everything. We talk about creating a sovereignty that you can throw off anything that's not your natural frequency. And that's the intention whether or not there is even all this technological shit-storm around us. I think it's a really beautiful way. It's really refreshing to hear you approach it from that direction. It's rewarding straightaway.   Tracy Duhs: (14:43) Yeah, it is. And then the thing that just started getting me so excited, I went back to do research to get my PhD. And my research was on the vibrational frequency of the voice and the sound and how that affects our immune system. And that was the turning point that shifted my life was realising that the words I was saying were imprinting the body of water that I am and the thoughts that I think imprint the body of water than I am. And not only that they affect the people around me, those thoughts, those words. And I'm responsible for that. To be a sovereign human being, it's important that we take accountability and responsibility for the words we're saying and the thoughts we're thinking and how we impact, not just our own body of water, but everyone around us. And once I started to realise that, it changed everything for me, the way I felt about the world, the way I perceived the world, the way I saw myself and starting to take that responsibility realising that gratitude truly is our superpower is truly one of our greatest weapons of defence.   Tracy Duhs: (16:06) And that is when we're grateful, it's almost like we are literally building up the structure of water in our body. We're able to help ourselves communicate more effectively. We're charging ourselves. And it's like, that's why I'm like, okay, water is important. The kind of water we drink is very important. But equally as important is how we're living our life and the thoughts we're thinking and what we're doing and the food we're eating, the conversations we're in, the non-native EMF. It's like that's why I started this podcast Hydrate Podcast, because it's like the hydrate life is like pretty much everything that we do is affecting the body of water that we are.   Mason: (16:56) Well, you brought up what I just keep on thinking is, of course, we get bogged down in the detail and the surface of a conversation, the superficial of the conversation, which is how many glasses of water should I be drinking a day of what type? And that's literally the tip of the iceberg. I can just hear you go straight into talking about the fascia and that system, which is regulating distribution of water all over the body. And then bringing up, it's water can take on a crystalline structure, it can take on that fourth phase. And it is in the fascia and the intracellular fluid where we see that fourth phase come to life. And therefore we always see that become a communication organ of the body.   Mason: (17:48) So you think that. It's not just about how many glasses, of what size based on your body weight, are you drinking a day? There's this whole other lifestyle that goes into brilliant guide. That's, of course, the gratitude pace and our thoughts as well as just thinking about, is your fascia stuck and stagnant? Is it not being stretched? Is it not being moved? I saw your bellicon rebounders were converted. Yes.   Tracy Duhs: (18:17) Love it. Love jumping on my bellicon every morning.   Mason: (18:23) I just think it's a nice refreshing reminder for me for someone that can get really heady. And it's just remembering that sometimes you let go of the goal or the rule and you're just sinking and you just find that lifestyle that keeps all the waters going and keeps everything functioning. I think it's really cool and people need to hear that rather than some of the previous books have talked about, like with the Batmanghelidj books which are really great, but they're like, this is how dehydration is creating this disease and this disease and this disease and this disease, which is really sobering, just seeing how much of disease state is really allowed to manifest because of chronic dehydration.   Mason: (19:12) But then at some point, yes, there's the remedy of hydration, but at some point we need to get out of a problem solution, remedying fixing something that's wrong mentality and really let it just sink into something within our personal culture and our personal lifestyle flow. So I'm really keen to hear more about that and just how you relate to your hydration through your movement. And then of course, I've got a lot of supplementation questions to ask, but is there anything else in your lifestyle in general? I think the hydration piece in gratitude, that's not an obvious connection, but it is one. Is there anything else that you've personally have this really strong connection to hydration in your lifestyle, but isn't an obvious one?   Tracy Duhs: (20:01) Definitely watching the sunrise and the sunset, getting that full spectrum light on my skin and my eyes and opening my mouth, getting in the epithelial tissue, that's really feeding my mitochondria so that my mitochondria can be more successful at making my own metabolic water, which is the purest most deuterium, depleted water, most structured water there is. My body makes it, our bodies make it. A lot of people have this misconception that camels carry water in their humps. And what they don't realise is that camels are carrying hydrogen fat in their humps. And that hydrogen is finding to the oxygen that they're breathing and the cell is making this metabolic water with that fuel. And so if we can make our bodies more efficient, our bodies are going to be making more metabolic water. And that water is ultimate.   Tracy Duhs: (21:06) So that's like 10 to 20% of our hydration and the rest is eating. Sometimes people don't think about this, but take inventory of what you're eating, whether it could be the things that we think are so healthy like protein shakes or protein bars or whatever, we're eating bread. Those things are all very dehydrated. So we have to compensate more with hydration. I say, eat your hydration, because when you're eating plants, it's already structured within the cell of the plant. You already have that each three or two in that watermelon that you're eating. And it's just easier for your body to convert and make its own structured water within the cell. So your body resonates with it. It really likes it.   Tracy Duhs: (21:57) Things like putting chia seeds in your water. I know they have lectins and some people have sensitivity to that, but if you don't, chia seeds are great. When you look at a chia seed and you put it in water, you'll see that white globe around it. And that's the fourth phase of water. So Gina Bria and Gerald Pollack studied that together. And it was really cool. They realised, oh, that's why. Gina Bria is an anthropologist. And she wanted to understand how the different cultures like desert people that lived in the desert, how they stayed hydrated. And it's like, oh, they use chia seeds. They ate their hydration. That was a big part of hydrating, because a lot of times they didn't have access to water the way they need to.   Tracy Duhs: (22:47) Sometimes people in ancient cultures they didn't have water bottles or shops to get water. They got to go to the stream, take some drinks of the water and then go back to the village or whatever, and come back. And it wasn't just so easily accessible. So there was other ways that the body had to hydrate. And so thinking about the food that we eat, I think that's not so obvious to some people. It's like, oh, today I had maybe someone diet, they could say, oh, you had a protein shake in the morning, egg and toast or some chicken. And those things are all great, but they might be dehydrating. So think about balancing that food. I love to get a bunch of fresh berries in the morning.   Tracy Duhs: (23:35) And I just introduced my girlfriend too in the morning having chopped avocado and chopped green apples together, and then just sprinkling a little sea salt. So then you get the fat or the hydrogen and you get the structured water from the apple and then as well as the fibre to help hold that hydration and your system longer. And just all those things together, you think about, gosh, that felt so hydrating. And it just feels so good. Even sometimes beyond drinking a glass of water.   Mason: (24:11) Yeah. The chia seeds, it's funny. You’ve just taken me back. I think that was the first recipe I ever put on the website. And it's like 10 years ago now. I just read Born to Run about the Tarahumara tribes who used to do those ultra, just like they used to run and just do these little ultra marathons and just be able to knock out 100Ks or whatever that is in miles. And they just used to pop chia seeds and lime and a touch of honey. I was like, oh, that's the original athlete gel.   Tracy Duhs: (24:45) Yeah. Totally way better than the athlete gel that we have now, because that one usually has things in it that I don't think are so healthy. That's my personal opinion.   Mason: (25:02) I can't remember the book, but my wife read a book and it's really well known. I think I'm pretty sure this woman was a journalist over in Western Australia. And she went and lived with mob on land, indigenous mob here on land. And they were nomadic and they are proper. And they hadn't been touched by civilization yet. And one of the things they eventually said were just like you guys you drink way too much water in the west. You don't need that. You don't need that much water. That's not where all of your hydration comes from. I'll get the book and I'll put it in the show notes guys. But that's something that I can say, you talk about this so much.   Mason: (25:47) And I can tell when there's someone that's like, "Hey, listen, this is cool. Let's talk about the water and drinking and getting excited about that." But what's going to cut the mustard here, you know where the rubber is going to hit the road. And that's when you have a lifestyle that is focused on hydration that can actually hold it rather than just focusing on the water you're drinking and then having a lifestyle that lets it all drain.   Tracy Duhs: (26:13) Right. Yeah. A lot of people are drinking purified water, eating dehydrating foods and wondering why they're not moving. And I'm not just talking about walking or something. We need to be moving all of our joints, everything, getting the water in there or spine twisting it, just all parts of our body to get that fascial network, just so juicy and liberated. It's true. A lot of people just think, "Oh, if I just drink some water," most people that know I'm into hydration, that's the first thing that they say, "I'm drinking my water. What's the best water to drink?" And those are all great things, very important, but there's so much more to the story. Just like we mentioned earlier, it's just the tip of the iceberg.   Mason: (27:07) Tip of the iceberg. And one of the most important pieces, we actually haven't talked about deuterium-depleted water on the podcast yet. So if you wouldn't mind explaining to the fine folks what that is, because they're going to hear about it a lot over the coming years.   Tracy Duhs: (27:21) Yeah. It's something that's getting more attention. So deuterium is a heavy isotope. It's hydrogen. We like to call it, it's evil twin. There's controversy over that, but it makes sense, I think. For some people it's like, when you're drinking a cup of water, this doesn't just have H2O molecules in it and it has D2O in it and it also has HDO. So there's the D is the deuterium. And there's not a lot, it's minimal, but that deuterium, even the little amount that's in the water has a great impact on our body, because the D is the deuterium is twice as heavy as the hydrogen. So when that molecule, when it goes into your cell, it's like throwing a wrench into the nano motors of the mitochondria. And it's basically damaging the mitochondria. And we know that our vitality, our youth, our health, our life, the engines of ourselves are mitochondria.   Tracy Duhs: (28:40) And so if we're causing these mitochondria to be damaged, mitochondrial death, then we're ageing ourselves, we're ageing faster. And so people are realising that if we deplete the water of deuterium, you can have more energy, they say will age slower, can live longer. So that's what the claims are right now. And I would like to experience it myself and see how I feel. But I've been on deuterium-depleted water 10 parts per million. So most water. This would be probably like 150 parts per million on average. And most people's bodies are 150 parts per million. Some people are higher and it's really bad. You can get a simple deuterium test and we can put it in the show notes where they can get that. But-   Mason: (29:41) And that's different to a TDS metre, total dissolved solids metre? Is that different-   Tracy Duhs: (29:47) Yeah. So it's a different type of test to find out how much deuterium is in your system.   Mason: (29:53) Is there one that people can get at home or is it sending them to the lab?   Tracy Duhs: (29:57) Yeah, there's a test that they can order. You put your saliva in this little tube and you send it in and they can tell you how much, but I don't even think it's worth it because most people are about 150 parts per million. That's the average human. So when you start depleting the deuterium in your water, which I've been drinking about 10 parts per million for the last year, my deuterium levels have gone down. Now there's other things that contribute to high deuterium like root vegetables and fruits, exotic fruits like mangoes and pineapple. Those are higher in deuterium. So they say if you want to lower your deuterium levels in your body, a ketogenic diet is a good diet to eat that keeps you lower in deuterium.   Tracy Duhs: (30:53) And that is true, that it keeps you lower in deuterium, but I'm not a dogmatic person at all. I really feel like we have to have balance in our life. And if I'm going to be in Costa Rica or there's some great exotic pineapple or something, I'm going to eat that, it's structured, it's water, it's beautiful, it tastes good, it makes me happy. So I try not to be too dogmatic, but I am very mindful in my everyday life of trying not to have fruits that are too sweet and getting more of those good healthy fats into my system and not eating too much of the carbohydrates, because those carbohydrates are higher in deuterium, but just having a balance. So yeah, deuterium is a heavy isotope. And it's damaging ourselves, energy mechanisms and compromising our health and longevity.   Mason: (31:58) The spanner in the machinery of the mitochondria is a great visual. And a couple of questions. The deuterium-depleted water that you're getting. I remember when we first started getting into this about three years ago, it was only available getting a crate from Estonia or something. It was underground. And where are you sourcing that water from now?   Tracy Duhs: (32:24) Yeah, so there's a place called Lightwater and they have the water depleted of deuterium in Russia. So it does come from Russia, but their shipping centres once it comes from Russia, I think are in Reno. And so I have it sent to me from there, but yeah, it's a commitment. It's not something I really say that most people I would even concern them with right now, because most people, we are the world, there's such an epidemic of dehydration and we know that dehydration is connected to inflammation and all inflammation is connected to disease. So I just like to say let's just help the people get the basics down of hydration. And then we can always add those things in. And since hydration is my thing, obviously I'm going to experiment with deuterium depletion, because I want to know how does this work for me, because if I'm going to share it with everyone else, I need to have my own personal experience.   Mason: (33:40) Yeah, for sure. You do it really well, I got to say. When I was coming up and the people I was running with, we will focus on the extremes. And that's what we were solely talking about. You hold in the centre really well and you're keeping yourself balanced in the centre while you're going off and exploring the fringes, which is nice because then you know you've got a rope connecting you back home and you don't lose yourself out there in the world of dogma, which as far as I'm concerned, we talk about dogma a lot on this podcast. And I have a lot of fun with it. And I think becoming ideologically dependent is something I talk about coming from a Jing deficiency. So it's a kidney deficiency. And so it's in fact embodied in the body. In an elemental sense, it's a water deficiency or a capacity, a deficiency to regulate your waters. And therefore you can't develop wisdom of your own. You need to become externally dependent. So I appreciate you.   Tracy Duhs: (34:40) Hey, I've been that dogmatic person, that dogmatic place, and it didn't work for me. I was the one who no one wanted to go out to dinner with me because it was like I had to have everything perfect. And it was what farm was this grown on? What soil was it grown in? I don't know if it was that bad, but I really-   Mason: (34:57) You were thinking it. If you didn't say it, you were thinking it.   Tracy Duhs: (35:00) I was thinking it, exactly. And it's just like there was all that tension in my body, because I wasn't able to enjoy it. I was more anxious of, "Is this food going to hurt me?" I became almost afraid of food the more that I learned. The more you learn and the awareness that you have, it can make you a little bit anxious about it. And so the pendulum has to swing though. And then I realised that if we spend so much time being anxious about it, that's imprinting the body of water that we are. And that anxiety is not good. It's sending incoherent dissonant messages to our morphogenetic field that are then going to be creating dissonant frequencies within ourselves. And we know through epigenetics, we have the opportunity to choose what we want our genes to look like based on our environment and our thoughts and all of these factors.   Tracy Duhs: (35:57) And so I really had to take a step back and realise if I'm not enjoying life or I'm not finding this joy and the opportunity within everything, then it becomes more of a chore. And who can really live that life for the long term? I think that's why a lot of people have yo-yo diets. They're being so dogmatic about whatever it is. And then it's like, can you really sustain that forever? So I try to maintain things and help people with a lifestyle they can live forever that's going to help them have this joy. I have this thing called the nine pillars of health that works for me that I really teach to and try to educate. And one of those pillars is creative playtime, because I really believe that in order to have this vitality and thrive, we need to play. We need to get outside of ourselves and our dogma and our rigidity in all of this polarisation in the world where it's like, this is bad, this is good. How about we just play? When you were a kid and you went out and it's like, "You're a kid, I'm a kid. We can be friends. Let's play."   Tracy Duhs: (37:22) If we can just realise that our mind creates so much of the problems that we have and we get back to the joy and really having this true joy within, it changes everything.   Mason: (37:38) Hallelujah. The playing thing, did you happen... I don't know if you're a Seinfeld fan. Did you get that?   Tracy Duhs: (37:44) Oh, totally.   Mason: (37:45) Okay. Oh my God! You live next door. We can be best friends.   Tracy Duhs: (37:47) Yes. I love that. Oh my gosh!   Mason: (37:53) Great. The chuckle therapy, laughter therapy as well, I find to be one of the grandest things. Ultimately, when you go the dogmatic route, then you need to get to the point where you can take the piss out of yourself and the world. It's just all that giggling just vibrates the water in such a unique way.   Tracy Duhs: (38:18) Yes, I totally agree.   Mason: (38:22) There's just a couple of selfish questions I want to throw out there and it's really great to get that context of where you're coming from. When we do start talking about things like supplements, I understand where you're coming from with them. Now molecular hydrogen, by far one of my favourites. For the last 12 years, I've been taking a hydrogen supplement originally mega hydrate and then moved on to a molecular hydrogen. I want to hear your pace on it. Your intention. I assume you're taking it regularly from just checking out your grant.   Tracy Duhs: (39:02) Yeah. Every morning I do molecular hydrogen tablets and depending on how I feel, if I need more energy during the day, I pick me up, I'll do that again maybe before I go work out. Especially if I need energy, I'll do nitric oxide tablets and then hydrogen and hypertonic quinton. And those three things to get their chance to ignite everything in my body. It's like ready, I'm charged. My cells are talking to each other and I'm ready to go on that run or whatever it is. But yeah, molecular hydrogen modulates inflammation in the body and it really helps with our bodies to be able to hydrate more effectively. And it's something that I feel the difference and everyone that I've gotten on, it feels the difference. So I highly suggest it.   Tracy Duhs: (39:57) And I know there's a lot of machines out there that can make hydrogen. And those are great too, but sometimes they aren't as consistent. So the tablets, you just know exactly what you're going to get with it. They're like $1 a piece, put it in some water. One thing that a lot of people miss with the hydrogen tablets though is what's in the water is the gas, the hydrogen gas that we need to get ingested into the system. So sometimes people will put the tablet in the water and then walk away half an hour later, come back and drink it. And you really miss the value of that tablet. You need to really just sit there as it dissolves and then immediately drink it. So for me, there's been a couple of times as well to really be grateful for the water and try to focus my intention and my thoughts on imprinting positive frequencies into that water. They're going to benefit me for the day.   Mason: (40:57) Yeah. Hallelujah. I like hydrogen, the inflow of getting past the blood brain barrier inflammation all over the place going down. I'm like, I was stoked to see that on your site, because I actually didn't have a resource for the American crew to get hydrogen. So which website was that on again? Is that just a Tracy done?   Tracy Duhs: (41:24) Yeah, tracyduhs.com. Yeah. T-R-A-C-Y-D-U-H-S.com. You can learn more about it, but I also have an online store, which is graceandparker.com.   Mason: (41:36) That's your online store?   Tracy Duhs: (41:37) Yeah.   Mason: (41:40) I like it. Yeah. So you had the beauty chef in there as well. Is that right?   Tracy Duhs: (41:43) Oh, we love the beauty chef. Yeah. I love carloads and everything she's doing. She's just an epic human.   Mason: (41:50) Yeah. Like we've all Instagram Aussie company mates. So it was nice to see them there. Yeah, big recommendation for everyone listening to get onto molecular hydrogen. I've found it's one of those ones going like similar. I've got a kid as well and life's busy and at times I'm not able to do everything I need to do. So it's like the molecular hydrogen and the rebounder, have been those two as well as the whole lifestyle thing. Just it's like those little... I don't know. For lack of a better word, the little hacks that have honestly kept me thriving when I've been hustling big time. So I was like as soon as I saw you're into those two things, I was like, yeah, sister.   Tracy Duhs: (42:41) We can be friends. Yeah.   Mason: (42:43) Now we can be friends. [inaudible 00:42:44]   Tracy Duhs: (42:43) It's amazing. I would totally suggest it for every single person, even kids, just the environment we live in. We can all benefit from some molecular hydrogen in our life. And it's so benign. There's nothing that you can't overdose on it. You can't hurt yourself. If your body doesn't need it, it'll just expel it. It's not something that can hurt you. And I really advocate in our wellness centre that we have in San Diego, we have a luxury retreat and wellness centre. When people come in, they come in with all different types of health issues. We have from pro athletes to people with stage four cancer that come in that want to optimise their health. And I love products and things that don't force or drive biochemistry in a direction that's just so aggressive.   Tracy Duhs: (43:42) I love to just support the body because I really believe the cells have their own innate intelligence. And if we remove the obstacles for healing and give the body the building blocks for biogenesis in life, the things that they need, then that's all we have to do. And we just need to step out of the way and allow the cells to do what they know how to do.   Mason: (44:08) Amen. Tell me more about your... Is it like a retreat, retreat or is it like an urban retreat?   Tracy Duhs: (44:17) Yeah, so it's a luxury wellness retreat. You come for three days and we do a bio-energetic scan. So we go through all your meridian points. We do Chinese and German meridian points and see where your body can use some support. And then obviously we focus on hydration there. We do IV therapy, we do tonnes of hydration therapy. We have a chef that comes and we get the food from our bio-dynamic garden. And you literally don't have to think. You sleep in silk sheets, you get tucked into bed at night. You wake up in the morning and someone's escorting you to your beach walk for sunrise and listening to sound bolts on the ocean. It's literally where you can let go. We say it's a place where you can refresh your body, reset your mind and rediscover your spirit.   Tracy Duhs: (45:13) I look at it as like sometimes we have to press the reset button on our phone, turn it off and turn it back on. And just that system reset can make all the difference. And that's the same with us. We don't turn off very often. We're always go, go, go, go, no matter what we're doing. Oh, this text, I got to get back to this person or this email or this interview or whatever's going on. It's just constant. And so I wanted to make a place where people could come and really have a true reset. It wasn't just like, "Oh, I'm going to go to this spa and get some massages and facials and slow down." No, you literally have to turn in your cell phone. We take it from you and we're putting it in a locked safe. And you are getting to know yourself again.   Tracy Duhs: (46:03) You are really pressing the reset button, but the great thing is, is you're doing so much that people forget that they don't have their phone because it's not really time to really think about it. It's like your body, mind and spirit are going through a whole reset. And by the end of three days, a lot of people don't even want their phones back. They're like, "It feels so good. I don't want to go back to where I was."   Mason: (46:32) Dude. It sounds absolutely bloody perfect. I'm like, I'm ready for something like that. I would like if it's next time, if I ever get to travel again. I'm coming man. I'm coming down there. I'm going to visit you there. I want the shade. So I want to be tucked in.   Tracy Duhs: (46:53) Yes.   Mason: (46:55) It sounds like I didn't realise it's a retreat.   Tracy Duhs: (46:59) It's a retreat literally. Yeah. I just was like, I want to make a retreat that everything that I want in a retreat, I'm going to make that so that I can go there. And I just couldn't find a retreat that I really wanted to go do that every single thing that I wanted, that's going to scan my body and find what foods are good for me and what I can benefit from and not benefit from supplemental wise and then have everything there for me. And I don't have to think about it. Just the staff does it for me. And I get to just relax.   Mason: (47:36) Just because I never get to talk to anyone about this. Like, okay, you go to retreat that's just for you. How many quintons are you taking on your retreat?   Tracy Duhs: (47:48) Well, how many quintons do I take personally or how many do we give the people?   Mason: (47:52) Let's go for you personally.   Tracy Duhs: (47:55) Well, it really depends. In general, I will take one when I wake up and one when I go to bed, but if I'm travelling and I feel really dehydrated, I can take one every hour literally. It just depends on how I feel, but I call quinton my desert Island product. If I could only take one thing to a desert Island, it would be quinton isotonic, for sure, because it's great for your skin. I use it to tone my skin every morning. I mix the isotonic and hypertonic half and half. And then I put a hydrogen tablet into that and then put it on my skin in the morning and reduces inflammation, gives my skin the building blocks for life so that my DNA is all healthy. And so I don't just use quinton for... I actually do a lot of other things too with it that probably we shouldn't talk about on the show.   Mason: (48:59) I'm glad you brought that up, because I was just about to ask that question. And I think I don't know what you're talking about, but I won't go there yet because I think I had one question and just in case that's it. But I guess you're also saying it can revitalise everywhere, not just the face and well, it's the best mineral delivery I've ever experienced. And when I'm ever in the States, I just [crosstalk 00:49:27].   Tracy Duhs: (49:27) So pure.   Mason: (49:28) So pure. We may not go into it, but everyone, if you just go look up Q-U-I-N-T-O-N, quinton, it's worth just experiencing it a couple of times.   Tracy Duhs: (49:41) Yeah, and we have it at graceandparker.com too. And if anybody has any questions, they can email us. Basically quinton is all 78 trace elements that our body needs to build new life. And quinton is seawater, it's ocean water that Rene Quinton discovered in the late 1800s that our blood plasma is identical to the ocean's plasma and that our blood plasma should be identical. I should say should, because if we look at our blood plasma of a typical American, it's probably going to be missing many of those 78 trace elements. So when we take Quinton, it's able to literally help with our genetic potential helping to heal with our epigenetic potential, I should say, to make ourselves healthy and deliver that message that they need to be able to do what they need to do.   Tracy Duhs: (50:47) And so Quinton is literally sea water that's diluted, but it comes from vortex plankton bloom. So there's something beyond the chemistry of it, not just the 78 trace elements that are in it, but it's also that energetic information that is inside of it. And so it comes in a double tip ampule to hold that energetic information in it. So when you open the ampule up and put it under your tongue and swish it around in your mouth and your epithelial tissue sends a message to all your cells that you have what you need, all the building blocks for life. It's powerful. Something that I suggest everybody tries, especially women that are pregnant or somebody that wants to get pregnant, babies. It's just so powerful in what it can do.   Mason: (51:41) Yeah. And it's interesting. And a few people deepen into transfusion, just injection territory with it. In the past I have had a few friends who have gone into world. Very interesting one for people to look into. I think that as well, but supplementing as well as...   Tracy Duhs: (51:59) Yes, just what you said. I don't like to say it, but just what you said. So far beyond what we could ever think of, I heard that they're doing research and studies of possibly using quinton on the battlefields instead of blood, because when you inject the quinton, it acts as your own blood plasma. So your body can build its own red blood cells. So somebody needs blood, like Rene Quinton did the study on a dog where he drained the blood out of a dog. And then right when the dog was about to expire, they re-infused quinton and the dog revived and came back to life. So just the quinton plasma, they did another study later on with a pig and they put the drain, the blood out of the pig, then put the quinton back in, the pig came back revived.   Tracy Duhs: (52:59) They tried it again with the pig's own blood. They drained the blood, then tried to put the pig's own blood back in and it's still died. So they realised there is some energetic force in the quinton that's still unexplainable that we can't quantify at this point, but we do know is there. And so I just say, we just have faith and believe and trust and know that there's something far beyond what we can see right now.   Mason: (53:27) Amazing. Yeah. The potential there is huge. Tracy, I've had so much fun talking to you. Thanks, Tracy, for coming on.   Tracy Duhs: (53:35) Thank you for having me. I feel really blessed to have this opportunity and I look forward to connecting with you more in the future.   Mason: (53:42) Yeah, likewise. We'll put every one of your pages on Instagram and everything and all your handles down below, but is there any way in particular that you'd like to send people, especially maybe to pre-order the book? Is it still pre-order?   Tracy Duhs: (53:57) Yeah, it is. Yeah, they can go to my website, tracyduhs.com, T-R-A-C-Y-D-U-H-S. And you can pre-order my book, Hydrate, which has all of my secret elixir recipes and just tips on hydration that I want to make hydration fun and a lifestyle that people can enjoy. And so it's just things that I do every day and hopefully you enjoy it.   Mason: (54:24) I think we will. After talking about this, I definitely think everyone's going to absolutely froth on it as that's the phase of water whenever, when it's frothing. Thank you. Have a great day.   Tracy Duhs: (54:36) You too. Bye. Thank you.

When Tracy's horrific stand-up offends the wrong advocacy group, who start protesting 30 Rock and the Girly Show, Liz Lemon must do damage control. Unfortunately, she offends another group in turn, and Tracy's leading the charge. But as Liz is juggling Tracy and his fellow idiots, Jack is on to here secret romance and gets in her head to learn all about his flaws. Can she put Jack our of her mind and enjoy her relationship with Criss (James Marsden) or will Jack win out and ruin another man of Liz's? Finally, when Jenna's dressing room requires a replacement bulb, she and Kenneth set out to do it themselves. Naturally, it can only get worse and worse with each new step along the way, and somehow they nearly kill Pete and call upon their partner in the Best Friend Gang: Kelsey Grammer to assist in their cleanup. In a rare 30 Rock episode of art imitating life, as Tracy's stand-up storyline mimics a real life event, we at Go To There discuss the reality of what Tracy said, and the representation and tropes sitcoms, TV, and movies have progressed since then. We perhaps go a BIT long in our discussion, but it's subject matter we've only treaded, never devoted too much time to (and one I'd like to devote more to one day). Regardless, please enjoy this episode of Go To There, and return next week for the exciting conclusion!

Are you following Tracy O’Malley? Because if you aren’t already, you certainly will be after this episode. This conversation is so real, inspiring, and incredibly informative. I am so excited to share this episode with you where Tracy and I talk about the Enneagram.   Tracy O’Malley is a multi-million dollar entrepreneur, speaker, and author of the book Grace, Grit, Guts: From F*ked Up to Freedom. She is also a world renowned business and performance coach and host of the Becoming Bulletproof Podcast. She has helped thousands of women ignite their purpose, profits, and build a legacy by giving them the tools to Become Bulletproof. As an Expert Enneagram Coach, Tracy has used the Enneagram for over seven years to help accelerate transformation, build powerful, effective, and compassionate leaders and create sustainable and lasting change.   Today we are scraping the surface of how the Enneagram can impact our lives. As Tracy says, it isn’t complicated, but it is complex. Today, she unpacks and digs into the Enneagram to help give us the first big step to living our best lives. Tracy also reminds us that “Information doesn’t equal transformation. It’s what we do with the information.”   Show Notes: [3:21] - Jill and Tracy are highlighting the Enneagram which was a life changing discovery for Jill. [5:10] - Tracy admits that several years ago she was not the person she is today. She is an intense person but her intensity back then was coming from a place of fear. [5:50] - Tracy shares how she led her life until now based on experiences in her childhood and what she was conditioned to believe about herself as a woman. [6:53] - Ten years ago was the catalyst for change in Tracy’s life when her father died of cancer and she started noticing familiar qualities of herself within her teenagers. [8:04] - The decision to bring her own beliefs down to ground zero was a very humbling experience for Tracy and she checked herself into rehab. [8:40] - While in rehab, she met her therapist who she still sess 9 years later and she had to take an Enneagram test. Tracy was not convinced it was worth her time, but her therapist pushed her to give it a shot. [10:07] - The Enneagram allowed Tracy to see why she made the decisions she had made through a lens of grace and compassion. This is when true transformation can begin. [10:29] - Tracy also left her career in the male-dominated car industry. When she checked into rehab, she also brought her financial stability to ground zero, too. [13:16] - Although Tracy recommends therapy and has been seeing a therapist for many years, she feels that there are too many rules. [15:04] - A lot of people avoid the inner work because it is hard to know where to begin. In Tracy’s case, there was a lot to unpack.  [15:22] - There are other tests and methods that help you with this, but what Tracy loves about the Enneagram is it doesn’t just explain the behaviors. [16:36] - The Enneagram is a mix of psychology and spirituality. It lets us look at everything and bring you full circle. [17:41] - The Enneagram is trendy right now and there are a lot of teachers out there sharing the information. But information isn’t enough. [18:36] - Personal development, courses, and “fixes” are great, but they are not sustainable. The Enneagram brings you a healthy awareness and gives you actions and the framework to see change. [20:43] - Life might be working for you. Maybe you don’t have a lot to work through or you have already done the work. The Enneagram is still great for you. [21:46] - With the information gained from the Enneagram, you have a way to navigate through all the “stuff.” [23:39] - Because it is trendy, people aren’t using the Enneagram to self-improve. They tend to find their type and then sometimes use it as a weapon. It is likely inaccurate and Tracy shares how the assessment is just the first step. [25:01] - If you are using the assessment as a tool but you have inaccurate information, you are not using the right compass. [27:02] - There are those of us out there who only surround themselves with the people who keep them comfortable. [28:19] - When Tracy did Jill’s Enneagram test with her, it gave her information and she helped guide Jill to the correct type. Still, others tell Jill that Tracy is wrong. Jill’s behaviors indicate an 8, but Tracy shares that Jill isn’t rooted in a typical 8’s motivation. [29:08] - Tracy breaks down Jill’s Enneagram and what type she is. She also compares her Enneagram type to Jill’s and although they have a lot of similarities, their types are very different. [30:41] - As Tracy got to know Jill, she realized how her motive was completely different than the motives of an 8. [31:38] - Jill’s go-to is guilt. She is very hard on herself and makes herself feel guilty. This is the Perfectionist in her. [32:41] - Tracy shares the healthy and unhealthy traits of Jill’s Enneagram type and the similarities. [33:18] - When in growth, you can take on the strengths of other types even if your motive isn’t rooted in that type. Tracy shares how she is watching Jill take on the healthy traits of a 7: The Enthusiast. [35:47] - Tracy admits that she is not sure that she would still be sober without the Enneagram.  [36:36] - When in rehab and reading about her type, Tracy realized that she had been talking to her children as if they were 8’s also. This also led her to the realization that she was unintentionally hurting them. [37:49] - After learning about herself and looking at this test through a lens of compassion, she then read about all of the other types to narrow down the types of her children. [38:22] - Tracy shares the types of her children and how her traits impacted them to make course corrections. [39:47] - Because of the changes in how Tracy communicated with her children from then on, they have a rock solid relationship and her now-grown children are happy and healthy. [40:41] - Tracy also had no career and by using her knowledge of herself and by being aware of her traits, she was able to build a successful marketing business. [42:51] - There are two ways to get started. If you want to take the first step yourself, you can go to the Enneagram Institute’s web page to take the test. Then take the top 4 scores and look at the motives of each one. [43:28] - Don’t look at just behaviors. This is how a lot of people are mistyped. 60-75% of first tests are not accurate. [45:01] - Tracy also hosts a podcast that has many episodes that are Enneagram inspired. [47:29] - There are 9 basic types and we are all driven by either truth, significance, or certainty. We use all of them, but one of them is dominant. [48:11] - Tracy breaks down the basics of each type to give a little bit of an understanding of motives. [52:41] - The Enneagram helps you make sense of that puzzle piece that keeps showing up that you can’t put together. I know there was something in this episode that you were meant to hear. Let me know what that is. Thank you for being here today with me on our healing journeys.

You ARE enough Tracy Secombe spent the first 47 years of her life trying to prove that she was good enough. Ultimately, when her Mum passed away in 2016, Tracy woke up to how working all the time for recognition was sacrificing her health and relationships. Consequently, Tracy learned how to stop being a people pleaser and became a sou;l pleaser.  Tracy's mission is to help women know that they are enough. Moreover, you are enough without approval or recognition from others. In addition, you can make the difference in the world you’re here to make. Finally, we are an aspect of Divinity, the energy that is everything   Episode Highlights: Tracy describes the first time she thought she was fat (even through she wasn't). Then Tracy explains that never felt good enough unless she met certain standards. In 2016, Tracy was burned out with work and raising a family.   In addition, she was in denial about how her lifestyle was causing her to be burned out. When Tracy's Mum's cancer returned, she promised herself that she would take her Mum out for lunch every Friday. Next, Tracy explains that her Mum's death was a big wake up call.  Finally, Tracy could see her life the way it really was. She sat in the sun and cried, allowing herself to feel emotions again and feel her heart. A book caught Tracy's attention Light is the New Black. Although it was not easy for her, Tracy walked away from one of her 3 businesses several months after her Mum died. Ultimately, she started to listen to hear heart. That was the start of her becoming a soul pleaser instead of a people pleaser. Then Tracy explains that the six steps of her Soul Pleaser Program flowed through her as she wrote her course. In addition, old limiting beliefs come up as emotions.  When we're aligned with our soul, there's no comparison. There's just love. Also, even after working on ourselves, limiting beliefs can still come up. It's a blessing when things come up.  As individuals are aware of our triggers caused by deep limiting beliefs - we shift our consciousness.  And this shift impacts the rest of the world. Next, Tracy describes her ideal client and the outcomes she helps them achieve. Tracy helps her clients completely and totally love who they are. The rendering to a higher power than ourselves is a big part of her Soul Pleaser Program. Once you align with the truth of who you really are, everything in your life is better. Tracy describes the experience her clients get by participating in her coaching group and the power of a virtual tribe. Next Emily and Tracy discuss the importance of finding a safe place to talk - especially during COVID.    Energy knows no boundaries. This energy is available to all of us. Next, Tracy describes the six steps of her Soul Pleaser coaching program. Finally, remember that you are more than your body.  There is energy in and around us and we can influence our experience of our reality.   Resources Mentioned: Tracy Secombe LinkedIn Tracy’s free masterclass "How to Unleash Your Inner Power & Take Charge of Your Life without Losing Yourself in the Process  Book "Find the Real You and Love Her so You Can Live the Life You Choose" Tracy Secombe | Official Email Tracy: tracy@soulpleaser.com Light is the New Black Soul Pleaser Facebook Group Emily Harman Soul Pajamas Onward: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Onward Movement Facebook Group | YouTube PodcastPress

Today is International Coffee Day. There is a legend that tells of coffee's discovery: In Ethiopia, there was a goat herd who observed his goats didn't want to go to sleep at night after eating berries from a certain tree. After he reported this to the Abbot of a local monastery, the Abbott gathered the berries himself and then made a drink with them. The Abbott's discovered the drink kept him awake and alert for the long hours of evening prayers. The rest is history. The coffee plant is actually a shrub. It's an evergreen that has a light gray bark and shiny, dark leaves that are five inches long. If the coffee plant wasn't pruned back, it could grow up to thirty feet tall in the wild. It takes the coffee plant five years to be able to produce fruit. Coffee plants have an interesting life cycle; they can live to be 100 years old but their producing years are between the ages of 7 and 20.  And, the next time you think about the equator, reframe it as "The Bean Belt". Coffee plants grow best along the equator.       Brevities #OTD  Today is the anniversary of the death of the “Dean of Landscape Architects”, Jens Jensen, who died on this day in 1860. Jens Jensen was featured in The Living Green Documentary; he was an early pioneer in the conservation movement and used art as activism. He was ahead of his time. Jensen and Frank Lloyd Wright were contemporaries. Jensen made over 600 Landscapes and was known as the "Poet of the Prairie." The prairie was the theme of his work and Jensen likened the prairie to the sea. He felt there was a spiritualism that rose out of the long grass and that every person on earth needed the living green. He valued the natural lands and he recognized that nature had restorative powers. Jensen was a maker of public parks and spaces.  Later in life, Jensen moved his family into a remote part of Wisconsin called Ellison Bay; located in northern door county. Even in 2010, the population was just 165. It was Jens Jensen who said, "Where there is forest, there is peace." and “Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each other's company. Only a few love to be alone.”       #OTD   Today is the birthday of California plant collector, LeRoy Abrams, who was born on this day in 1874.  Abrams was born in Sheffield Iowa. He moved west with his parents as a small boy. As a graduate student, Abrams performed yeoman's work botanizing the area around Los Angeles. A biographical sketch of Abrams said, "[Abrams] criss-crossed southern California in a wagon, on the back of a mule or burrow, and on foot to make field observations... and collect specimens from Santa Barbara to Yuma, from Needles to San Diego, and from the Salton Sink prior to its flooding to the summits of Old Baldy" In 1902, Abrams published a flora of Los Angeles and Vicinity. (The vicinity included a fifty mile radius around LA). In 1909, Abrams married a fellow student at Stanford. Her name was Letitia Patterson; they shared everything together - especially the joys of their mountain cabin they had built with their own hands on the west side of Fallen Leaf Lake. When their only daughter died a few short years after her college graduation, they shouldered their grief together. Abrams served as the director of the Natural History museum at Stanford where he taught botany for thirty-four years. He did not live to see the completion of his dream; a four volume work called An Illustrated Flora of the Pacific States(Stanford, Stanford University Press, 1923–1960, 4 vols.). However, it was Abrams dream to carry out; he had been inspired by the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) and their three-volume work, An Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States, Canada and the British Possessions,by Britton and Brown.  Abrams was a loving teacher. His students called him "Father."       #OTD On this day in 1887, the botanists John and Harvey Ruth made a trip to Wyker's Island to collect fall flora. Wyker's Island is now known as Lynn Island, in the Delaware River, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The Ruth's rowed their own boat to the island on this day in 1887, where they discovered the island was covered with asters and butterfly weed.       #OTD On this day in 1891, the newspapers carried the obituary of the self-taught botanist and poet, Cyrus M. Tracy who had died on September 29th. Tracy was the Chair of Botany for the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. He is remembered for his work in creating the noble forest park known as Lynn Woods. Three times the size of Central Park, Lynn Woods is a massive green space located outside of Boston. A hidden gem, Lynn Woods enjoys less public awareness because it is not part of our National State Park system. It features a rose garden, three reservoirs and a 48-foot-tall stone tower. In 1850, Tracy was working to secure protection for Lynn Woods and he formed a group called the "Exploring Circle" with four other residents; the went botanizing in the woods and then shared their discoveries with others. When Tracy wrote his Studies of the Essex Flora - a flora of the area around Boston - he recognized the immeasurable value of Lynn Woods, saying "that a district so near the metropolis" was worth protecting. In 1891, when Lynn Woods was threatened by development, a Commission report noted Tracy's role in protecting the park: "His call, his inner inspiration was to teach the people of Lynn that they had in the Woods "an asylum of inexhaustible pleasures." ... He led parties of enthusiastic naturalists to scenes of beauty and grandeur hitherto unseen, save by his eyes. He dedicated hilltops and glens with mystic rites."        #OTD On this day in 1916, it was State Flower anniversary day in California. There was a program at the Native Sons Building at the University of California; featuring speakers and festivities. One hundred years earlier, the California poppy, the Eschscholzia californica had been named by Adelbert von Chamisso in honor of his friend, Johanns Friedrich Von Eschscholz. It was both a courtesy and a quid pro quo. In turn, Eschscholz named plants for Chamisso.           Unearthed Words  "All things on earth point home in old October: sailors to sea, travelers to walls and fences, hunters to  field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken." - Thomas Wolfe, Novelist   “Trying to plan for the future without knowing the past is like trying to plant cut flowers” - Daniel Boorstin, Historian, born #OTD in 1914   "Few things are riskier than "fine writing," but Miss Welty has never been afraid to risk it. She spoke once in conversation of plant explorers who go to Nepal and Sikkim, risking their lives to introduce Alpine flowers to gardens. "Now that's something - discovering new primroses - that's worth taking trouble with, worth risking something for," she said. She seemed to set the plant explorers, bringing garden treasures from the Himalayas, over against the ordinary world we all live in everyday." - From an interview with American Short Story Writer and Novelist, Eudora Welty, in The Washington Post, 1972      Today's book recommendation: The Naturalist by Thom Conroy. Conroy's book is about the real life of Dr Ernst Dieffenbach who died on this day in 1855. Dieffenbach was a scientist, explorer, a loner, a revolutionary, and an outcast. Gardeners will recognize the name Dieffenbach because the dumb cane, or Dieffenbachia, is named in honor of Dieffenbach.  Dieffenbach was part of the New Zealand Company’s 1839 colonial expedition. Once in New Zealand, Dieffenbach predicted how colonization would impact the country.  The cover of this book, The Naturalist, is one of my personal favorites. It looks marvelous on a table beside the couch or on a bedside table; plus the story of Dieffenbach will stay with you; it's both beautiful and sad.     Today's Garden Chore #OTD Today is October 1st, the day all Poinsettia owners are to confine their plants to complete darkness for 14 hours a day. Place plants in a darkened closet or room (with no lights at any time) from about 5pm to 7am, daily, for 8 to 10 weeks. But, be sure to give your plant  10 hours of natural light daily. This change in the light will set the buds and cause bracts to color. The plant will come into full bloom November or December. Don't forget that the main attraction with poinsettias is not its flowers, but its leaves. In case you're wondering; the flowers are those little yellow clustered buds in the center.       Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart #OTD On this day in 1945, The Morning Call out of New Jersey shared the story of Nurseryman William Hallicy. During WWII, Hallicy had served for twenty-two months with the Seabees, the Navy's construction force. While he was relieved to go home to Clifton, New Jersey, he faced a grim scene. Right after joining he Seabees, Hallicy's nursery had been decimated by a brush fire. There wasn't much left to come home to; just weeds and charred trees. After he returned home and took stock of his situation, Hallicy estimated it would take him almost a decade to grow salable stock from new seedlings. He planned to raise poultry until his nursery could produce again. But a few days later, Hallicy and his wife were awakened early in the morning by the sound of truck motors on the front yard. Members of the North Jersey Nurseryman's Association had worked together to honor Hallicy's service with the Seabees. The newspaper said: "Unannounced, they appeared at the Hallicy home with $2,500 worth of small trees in 15 trucks. With tractor, plow and spades, they cleared the 4-acre plot and set out the trees. In a few hours, the Hallicy Nursery was right smack back in business. Neighbor Hallicy started and gulped. He finally managed to pull himself together and serve beer. But nothing could wash down v the lump in his throat... We're getting one of our own just thinking: about his neighbors. Makes us want to go right out and buy a big block of stock in human nature, common and preferred." This incident was so unusual that newspapers all over the country picked up the story. It even made The Reader's Digest.       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

When Tracy realizes $20 was stolen out of her purse, she goes to Facebook to try and get to the bottom of the theft!

When Tracy passed away I was determined to share her story with the world. I had no idea quite how this would unfold, but I knew it would. She always wanted to write a book but never got that chance. Today I'm sharing one of the lessons the world needs to learn from this beautiful soul. It's a lesson in gratitude and being sure you express gratitude to those you love often and leave nothing left unsaid. Write someone you love a letter today. Not a text or an email but a letter. You will give them a gift that money can't buy.

Tracy M. Maylett, Ed.D., SPHR, SHRM-SCP, is the CEO of DecisionWise, which for over two decades has advised organizations in more than seventy countries on employee engagement, leadership, and organizational development. He is the bestselling author of The Employee Experience: How to Attract Talent, Retain Top Performers, and Drive Results and the new book ENGAGEMENT MAGIC: Five Keys for Engaging People, Leaders, and Organizations.   Podcast Highlights Who is Tracy Maylett? Tracy believes his real purpose in life after going to perhaps too much school, is creating environments that allow people to do their best, either through his writing, teaching, or his efforts in his business. There were several moments that changed the course of Tracy’s life including his experience in retail and when he realized that in order to be a successful human resources person he needed to understand business in general. He didn’t start out wanting to be a CEO (he actually wanted to be a football coach) but that’s where he ended up one step at a time. When Tracy was in college he felt that being an entrepreneur or a CEO just wasn’t worth the risk. But as he started working for large organizations he realized that he could control his own destiny better if he was the one calling the shots. He redefined what risk meant to him over time. Founder vs Entrepreneur Founder and entrepreneur are often considered interchangeable but that’s not true. An entrepreneur is an individual that is able to understand the purpose and vision of the organization they run and match that to what people need, but they don’t have to be at the top of the organization. Founders aren’t necessarily entrepreneurs. They start the company but in many cases it makes more sense for them to move on and hand off the reins to someone else. The transition out of the founder role is a tough one for many people to make, including Tracy. There is a point where you realize that you can’t do everything and what you really need to do is manage the people with the right skills instead of trying to do it all. Employee Experience Engagement in the employee experience has two parts. The first is some sort of emotional level and the second is taking action. Where most organizations mess up with engagement is that they need both, not just the positive emotions. Just paying your employees more will not get you the results you want. The fact that someone is safe at work does not motivate them, but if you take that safety away it certainly reduces their motivation. The same thing applies to pay. When we receive something, we adapt to it very quickly. Compensation has to be there to meet the employees needs, but it’s not going to motivate them for more than 10 days. Increasing pay is the lazy leaders way. Engagement Magic You still have to pay your employees enough, but once that’s done the question becomes “what’s next?” When Tracy did the research into engagement he discovered there were five keys factors that drove engagement in someone’s life and work. Meaning is the first. When you find purpose in the job beyond the job itself. Autonomy is the second. When you find a way to use your skills in a way that works best for you and allows you to make decisions. The third is growth. People will leave a business or organization for growth opportunities more than anything else. Impact is the fourth. You’re getting results for your effort. The fifth is connection. Doing something beyond yourself and feeling a sense of belonging. When all the elements are present that’s when people start to engage. Autonomy is one of the toughest elements that business owners deal with. The key is to set constraints and boundaries and then allowing the team to o

Tracy Smith Malone, of the Northern Illinois Area of the United Methodist Church, and Barbara Dick, of the Wisconsin area, draw parallels between the development of a worldwide church and the birthing process. “We are going to be in the womb together for a long time. Are we going to be Jacob and Esau, fighting in the womb all the time?” (VOICED BY PROFESSIONAL TALENT) FULL TRANSCRIPT 0:01        When women come together there's nothing we cannot do. Welcome to the WellSprings Journal Podcast, where you will hear from women who have been called by God into lives to speak grace and compassion, that share pain and anger, and that dance life's joys and laughter. Inspiration to call forth your creative spirit await. Listen now. 0:34        Shared Thoughts on a Worldwide Church, by Tracy Smith Malone and Barbara Dick. We just love the fact that the theme verse WellSprings Journal has this season is John 16:21: “When a woman is in labor, she has pain, because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.” As women in leadership - clergy and laity, African American and Caucasian - we came to our hour-long Skype call as strangers. Our conversation was, at times, a call-and response of ideas and feelings, with many “Amens” and lots of laughter. We shared our stories and forged a bond of friendship as we “prophetically named” the racism and other isms that exist in the church and society and boldly proclaimed a revolution of love and reconciliation that tears down walls and holds us all in the womb of God’s love. Tracy defined “prophetically naming” as more than pointing to brokenness. It is naming existing opportunities and efforts to create environments or opportunities for vital conversations. Through vital conversations and relationship building we can have authentic conversations to name fears and anxieties and begin to work through some of the preconceived notions and myths about who people are, to really hear and learn people’s stories. Through storytelling, we learn that we have so much in common, so many of the same desires. That makes my heart have a desire to know your heart. And that’s what builds true sisterhood and brotherhood. And so, here are our shared thoughts on birthing a worldwide church: The Beloved Part 2:36        We pondered where clergywomen and laywomen can come together to share the stories that cross all those boundaries. As women in leadership, it really doesn’t matter if we’re clergy or lay. We have stories to share and important work to do together. Tracy shared that even as clergywomen attend national and international gatherings, they are often more like spectators than full participants. We agreed that we can begin to lead the way to break down those barriers between clergy and lay as women of faith. The idea of birthing a worldwide church evokes the whole realm of laity leadership in areas where clergy are not available. That’s an issue across the globe in ways that it’s not in the U.S., although it is also a concern in some urban areas and some deeply rural areas of the U.S. What if clergywomen led this movement of removing the line, blurring it? 3:40        There is great value in a trained, educated clergy to bring a level of scholarly expertise, a watching of the integrity of how we move through living out the gospel; but we have so professionalized clergy that the laity have in some ways been disempowered. And so, when we talk about empowering the laity, it’s a remedial step. It’s re-empowering the laity, waking them up to the power they already have. We sometimes confuse the role of the priestly function. We misunderstand that the holiness and the sacredness comes through the movement and the power of the Holy Spirit at work through the elements. Barbara Brown Taylor says it so well, that it’s the broken bread and the poured out wine for the world. And so, as we break the bread and as we serve it, those who receive it - all of us, lay and clergy - become the broken bread and the poured-out wine for the world. Again, it’s the Holy Spirit’s work, and that’s the sacredness, the holiness in the mystery of it all. 4:51        We, as women, have more potential to find a different approach to this - culturally, if not physically. If it’s not innate in us, it’s bred into us. How nice if we could inspire that, which exists in men as well, to grow, because that’s part of what’s missing in our sense of beloved community . . . the beloved part. Empowering is the language of the church now. So a better approach might be to embolden or to nurture. The Spirit of God is already in you, so we are stirring up the gift, bringing it to birth. We’re midwifing. The nurturing - that’s the birthing, the coming forth, the newness that comes through when we are open, nurturing, and allowing for creativity - not a threat but a divine opportunity. As women, we know about it. That’s our experience. If Jesus were a woman today, he might tell more parables about birth than about farming. We Know Birthing 6:00        Consider the whole birthing process, cycles that the body has to go through; you have to incubate. There’s nurturing and feeding, listening and rubbing and touching. There’s a level of intimacy that goes back to the relationships. Studies have shown that a baby born with no touch within a certain amount of time after birth has a higher risk of death. And then, of course, there’s pain involved. We sometimes want to shield ourselves. There is risk in being vulnerable, open to listening to your story, able to hear your pain; to take that on, and maybe even see my role in that, whether knowingly or unknowingly. That is the key when we talk about isms, the notion that somehow my story is a threat to your story. That’s absurd. My story is just my story. And it’s not for me to right it to wrong it or even to validate it, because I don’t have to. I don’t need your validation and you don’t need mine. Part of birthing is also the deep emotion that comes, and with that the tears and laughter. It’s all part of the experience. You don’t want to just be stagnant and going through the motions. Giving birth is something new, thinking out of the box and being willing to explore. If there’s going to be any creativity, if there’s going to be any change, if we are going to live in a new possibility, we have to be willing to explore, even the places that have not yet been trod. The Isms 7:42        It’s so hard when we’re talking about race and sexuality, and in some places, about threatening people’s jobs because we’re empowering other people to lead. It’s so scary for some people. The isms lead to violence because of suppression, and then people just violently act or violently speak. They say something that’s hurtful or harmful, any act of violence. Some of that is due to unaddressed, unresolved, fear and anxiety, lack of clarity - separation. We’ve got extremes of violence - violence in the news that we can’t deny or ignore - but even in the church, violence stems from and leads to denial, the inability or unwillingness to know. That alone is an act of violence. When we are willing to be vulnerable and transparent, that breaks down some of the barriers and the walls and more readily prevents me from saying or doing something that causes harm because I’m more in touch, more aware. Even if one person says something that may feel offensive or off-putting for another- if we have heard one another’s stories, we have the option of navigating that in a different way. If I don’t know who you are, and I don’t care about who you are, I care about my position - not my story - but my position, and I have no space to hear. In the Womb Together 9:17        So, our call is to intentionally create space. Then the space becomes the common place for us to talk through, work through—whether we agree or disagree—to still do it in love. In terms of the birthing metaphor, that’s the womb. If we’re going to birth a worldwide church, we have to spend some time in the womb together, being nurtured and fed and allowing God to fill us up with good things, so we can survive to develop our organs. The womb - that holy space. And the paradox of the womb is that even though it goes through such turmoil to bring forth life, the womb is also a holy place, a safe place where life is being shaped. And when we’re in the womb, we’re vulnerable, we’re not in charge - it’s the place where the Holy Spirit does its work. 10:18     It’s the same place that’s life giving, where the body is taking shape and form, as life is springing forth. There may be some tears, there may be some bruises, but that’s all part of the process. We are crushed but not broken. We are perplexed but not confused. It’s a wonderful paradox. It’s why Jesus spoke in parables. It’s so hard to grab on to this stuff and hold it in your hand. You really can’t. You have to let it kind of sift through and form on its own. We also love the image of the womb because, when we’re talking about nurturing life, we’re talking about cell differentiation. Each cell has a unique purpose, but cell walls are membranes, they’re not hard. They depend on each other. Cell walls are permeable, and cells are interdependent. And that’s the beloved community. Our opportunity is to bring that to life in community. It may be that the only way to do that is through this kind of conversation, to have the conversation and plant it and let it germinate. 11:38     Intentional relationship building and listening and sharing is a mutual sharing. As you share a part of who you are, and I share part of who I am, there are more spaces and places to be intentional—showing a genuine interest in one another’s stories. With that comes the desire, not just to know more about you, but to discover more about who God is in you, that I might connect with you and connect with the God in you. We are who we are the way God made us, but we are always in the process of becoming. We’re all flawed, and the more we are in relationship with others, the more we help to shape each other into the persons we are becoming. We talk about isms. We’re human; we make judgments; we stereotype. But if we’re going to truly be the beloved community, we need to acknowledge that there’s more to the story, more than what you hear and what you see. The question is, do you desire to know more, or do you even care to know more, beyond the surface, superficial relationships that sometimes exist? This doesn’t just happen. No, it has to be intentional. Intentional Community and General Conference 13:07     Right, intentional community. I (Barbara) have that “desire to know more” when I’m one-on-one with somebody. But if WellSprings hadn’t set this up, Tracy and Barbara wouldn’t know each other. We would meet at General Conference next year, and Barbara wouldn’t know more than that Tracy is African American clergywoman from Northern Illinois. So the opportunity is to provide spaces where the desire to know more can be nurtured. Because once that desire is awakened it’ll happen. People will find ways for it to happen. And what if there was a part of General Conference where this was built in before we move into our committees. Where is real, genuine space - except for the listening sessions to help us know how to be in conversation with each other and not harm each other? 14:00     We get to talk to each other, but to know one’s story and culture and tradition? There really is no space for that. Now that would be a wonderful new vision or creative approach to how we do the - talk about some holy conferencing, Christian conferencing - that’s Christian conferencing. It will be interesting to see how even this perfunctory new approach to coming to consensus rather than simply going directly to the vote, how even that tiny change makes a difference. It’s like the whole birthing process. Everything matters, even if it’s a baby step. Everything matters. Just like when you’re carrying a child. When you’re giving birth, the doctor cannot skip anything  . . .  every step matters. You have to have the urge, you have to dilate, you have to push; all of those steps of giving birth, as painful—and unique—as they are from one woman to another, matter. Story Matters 15:03     Relationships matter, story matters. We can talk all the facts and figures about how the population of the church is moving to the southern hemisphere; belief systems in Africa are very different from the belief systems we’ve gotten very comfortable with here in the U.S. There are folks who are educated and incredibly smart who have beliefs we don’t share. That’s part of their culture; it’s just part of who people are. We are never going to say that God can’t do what God’s going to do. If a belief brings you closer to God and closer to other people, what can we learn from that? That’s the key to a worldwide church that our institution is not supporting. We can make the space for people to share their desire to know about one another and create a womb in which we can grow together and develop our new organs as the church is changing. The church has to change. It’s what we’re called to. 16:02     To truly embrace the worldwide nature of the church is to be able to learn from each other and inspire each one for a greater faith—a greater service in the world. Traditions and cultures and customs are contextual. At what point does it become a violent act for us—whether it’s the U.S. or not—to determine what is the “right” approach for someone else? That’s one of the efforts that we’re striving toward now. What do we hold together in common, and what is more contextual, where we need to share freedom? We will still challenge and push each other toward God’s greater goodness. Is it our task to change each other, or is it our task to help each other grow and experience the change that the Holy Spirit is working in us? It is the biggest challenge. Do I show you that I love you and care for you by changing you? Or do I get to know you, and pray for you that God’s work and God’s Spirit will be at work in you for God’s greater good — for you and for the world. 17:07     How do we offer that kind of space in an institution that is so locked in place? We appreciate that the Connectional Table is offering this new process. Baby steps are still steps. But that doesn’t feel organic enough. It’s still safe, and almost to an extreme of fireproof—safe. What will it take and how long will it take? Years. A long time . . . It takes nine months to birth a baby. We didn’t get here yesterday. Consider the whole LGBTQ movement and the frustration—and we totally get the frustration - waiting for so long. When Tracy thinks about us as African Americans, waiting for so long, and we’re regressing, almost like history is repeating. But we’re always in a state of making new history. So it will take continually working at it, pushing and prodding and challenging. Be emboldened and name it, saying, “This is not enough.” Don’t be OK with it, because then you end up resigning, settling for the status quo and becoming complacent. But there’s always more to it. If we believe that God’s Spirit is always at work in moving and changing that; that’s where hope comes from. We have to believe that God is not finished with the church, with us, and it ain’t gonna be over ’til God says it’s over. And that baby’s not gonna come until that baby comes. We know the cycle is nine months. Or is it really ten months? You can go three weeks past due; you can have a preemie. But God will birth something new. What if what we’re birthing is the kingdom of God, and it’s going to take until Jesus comes back for that to happen? We are going to be in the womb together for a long time. Are we going to be Jacob and Esau, fighting in the womb all the time? The Now and the Not Yet 19:14     Let’s take it just a step further. Yes, we are in the womb, but there are some births springing forth. Staying in the womb could become a little scary. We know we’re birthing the kingdom, and we’re in God’s hands, and we’re all in there together. But some life is coming out. It’s ongoing and it’s a cycle: you get pregnant, you deliver; you get pregnant, you deliver. So we can talk about the pregnancy of God—that there’s always new birth springing forth—but do we have eyes to see it? Do we have the desire to stay in the womb so that more new life can spring forth? The whole concept of staying in the womb—the womb being the holy place, the mystery, the kingdom—it’s the now and the not yet. The not yetness is staying in there; the now is new life always springing forth, if we will have eyes to recognize it as new birth. Take JFON (Justice for Our Neighbors), for example. We’re not where we want to be with immigration, but a birth—JFON. We’re not where we want to be with the world in global peace, but a birth—the Connectional Table. You know it’s not the end all and be all, but it’s moving us in the right direction. We had the whole Plan UMC at the last GC; whether or not we agreed on it, the point is we recognize that something needs to be different. 20:50     Something was birthed. If that was never birthed, we wouldn’t be having the greater conversations. New life by the power of God’s Spirit is always being birthed because God is the giver of life. Yes, the activity around Plan UMC has given birth to new conversation about where we need to go. The concern is that the conversation is still about the shape of the womb. It’s not about who’s going to be mama and papa; it’s about the shape of the womb. And that goes back to God being in charge. That’s what keeps us hopeful, because if we ever lose sight of that, it’s all over. What are we striving for? Going back to Holy Communion, we must not lose sight that it’s the Holy Spirit’s work, where the sacred is the mystery and the holiness. We don’t want to lose our church history and tradition of the priestly role, but when we professionalize or institutionalize it too much, we do violence—we forget who is the head of this table. When we talked earlier about people from different cultural perspectives deciding for each other what’s essential and not essential, we used the term violate. And we do violate each other when we assume that we have the answer for anybody, even ourselves. 22:10     The beauty of The UMC is that we’re not a creedal church in a sense where one tells another what to think and what to believe. That’s a gift. At our best, when it comes to respect for the role and position of women, lay and clergywomen alike, we serve in capacities, you know, where in some other institutions a woman would not even hold a place. We are not perfect, but if we are not sitting at the table, having the conversation, nothing changes. The glory and gift of the UM system is that everybody gets to sit at the table. We have a responsibility, a social responsibility, for what goes on in Korea or Africa or Europe. Yes, we are our brothers’ keeper. That’s what we love too about the UMC, and it’s also one of our gifts. While we have all the isms and schisms, the gift of the church is that we have, at least, an intended strategy for how we—not fix it, because only God can fix—but address and name it, work toward wholeness. But it’s God who does the fixing. 23:25     Thank you for listening to the WellSprings Journal podcast. Be sure to visit WellSpringsJournal.org to find more resources for the journey.    

On this episode of ‘Homeless in San Diego: Real People, Real Stories,’ host Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Community Services, is joined by Tracy, a Navy Veteran and graduate of Interfaith’s Recuperative Care Program located at our Hawthorne Veteran and Family Resource Center. Tracy also introduces Max, his loyal companion and the first service dog to live at the Recuperative Care center (and to come on the podcast!), as well as his son, Caleb, who is inspired by and proud of his dad’s journey.  When Tracy first came to Interfaith, he was living in his car and struggling to treat his PTSD and schizophrenia. When he was offered a way out of homelessness through Recuperative Care, Tracy was skeptical of accepting the help. Tracy shares how grateful he is that he did and how Interfaith truly turned his life around.

My guest today is Tracy Ryan, the CEO of CannaKids, and, Saving Sophie. When Tracy’s daughter Sophie was a little more than 8 months old, she developed a low-grade, Optic Pathway Glioma brain tumor.

Tracy Murphy is a sober, agender, lesbian who is passionate about making sure queer and trans folks feel seen and represented in the recovery community. Tracy is the founder of both LGBTteetotaler, a blog where they are committed to sharing both their own story and the stories of other queer and trans folks in recovery and, LGBTteetotalers, a secret Facebook community for queer, trans, and questioning folks to support each other in all kinds of recovery. When Tracy isn't reading, writing and learning about recovery, social justice and LGBTQIA+ history, they are usually taking walks, juggling, watching lesbian movies or listening to 90's music.

August 16, 1983. Idaho Springs, Colorado. 14-year old Beth Miller leaves her home to go jogging, but never returns. The investigation uncovers some promising leads, including eyewitness accounts of a man in a red pick-up truck who was seen flirting with Beth in the days prior to her disappearance. Ten years later, the former girlfriend of a deceased suspect leads the authorities towards an alleged burial location for Beth’s body, but nothing is found. February 9, 1989. Gainesville, Florida. 20-year old university student Tiffany Sessions leaves her condo to go for a power walk, but does not return. 24 years later, after a convicted murderer named Paul Rowles dies in prison, investigators uncover evidence in his possessions which seems to implicate him in Tiffany’s disappearance, but her remains cannot be found. August 5, 1989. Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. 17-year old Tracy Kroh leaves her house to visit her sister, who turns out not to be home. When Tracy does not return, her abandoned car is eventually discovered in a nearby town square, but Tracy is nowhere to be found. Four years later, some of Tracy’s possessions are found next to a remote creek, but she continues to remain a missing person. While these three cases do not seem to have any connection to each other, they would unexpectedly be linked together in 1994 after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a bizarre anonymous tip which alleged that all three victims were still alive. For the first time, “The Trail Went Cold” is going to tackle three unsolved missing persons cases in the same episode and explore the likelihood of them being connected.

YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/tracyamalone Website - https://narcissistabusesupport.com/ FaceBook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=188681268196044&ref=br_rs Tracy's Story - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od60naaSumI&list=PLjF1_YLC3SX4d35qCd_MIe4XBL_yXazWA Table of Contents Introduction to Tracy A Malone 00:00:16 - Tracy Malone is a narcissistic abuse survivor who has taken her experience and turned it into multiple resources to help others going through similar experiences. 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. End of show wrap-up 00:46:46 - End of show wrap-up and a teaser for next week’s episode with Debbie Mirza the author of The Covert Passive Aggressive Narcissist
