Tracey shares her journey of rediscovering herself and tackling the 'desire fog' that many people experience when feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Her story is both relatable and inspiring, especially for those who have faced similar struggles in their lives.
Tracey explains how she helps people uncover their strengths and use them effectively, and shares her personal journey of leaving vocational ministry to embark on a path of self-discovery. She emphasises the importance of asking oneself 'What do you want?' and how this question can be both powerful and uncomfortable. Tracey's journey involved a period of wilderness, where she felt lost and confused after not getting a job she had applied for.
This led her to question her identity and her understanding of God. During this time, she turned to the story of Jesus in the wilderness for comfort and guidance. She also embarked on an experiment called '40 days of desires', where she did one thing each day just because she wanted to. This practice helped her reconnect with herself and hear God's whispers of desire.
Tracey discusses the importance of being authentic and true to oneself, rather than conforming to what others expect. She highlights how our authentic desires often get overshadowed by external 'shoulds', which can lead to burnout and a loss of self. Her message is clear: embracing our true selves is not only okay but essential for a fulfilling life. If you're feeling stuck or uncertain about your path, Tracey's story and insights might just be the encouragement you need.
