Today we’d like to introduce you to Tracy Litt.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Tracy. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I could start with I was born on May 15, 1977, in Brooklyn, NY but I’ll skip right to what brought me to the work I do in this world. Everything was fine. There was not outside of reason to make a change. I was the VP of People & Culture for a healthcare consulting firm and all was well, sort of. I wasn’t well on the inside. I was going through the motions, checking the boxes, staying safe.
My gut was gnawing at me; in truth it had been gnawing for a few years. I had a gift of helping people and a deep desire to help others in a meaningful, life-changing way. I had researched therapy, coaching, and other healing modalities. I had chosen the school I would pick, did my diligence and daydreamed about it and did nothing.
I stayed at work. I stayed because I was scared. Every time I almost said yes to going back to school and going out on my own, I shrunk back into “it’s fine.” I rationalized it. I have a good job. I make good money, it’s flexible. They like me and I like them. Slowly I was dying inside. I knew I had the capacity, I knew I could do it, I could do anything. What I didn’t realize at the time, is that fear played a role in getting me to not pull the trigger. Therefore, held me back into my comfort zone.
Fear sounded like: “Do you actually think you can do this? What if it doesn’t work? What if you invest in school and all of this and it amounts to nothing? What if your not as good as you think you are? What if no one hires you? This is a huge risk, are you sure this is a good idea?”
Then one magnificent night in January, I was sitting on a balcony overlooking the ocean. In stillness with myself. I was quiet enough that I could hear myself say, “Do it, Tracy, it’s time, you were made for this.” I got up from the chair, walked inside the hotel room, opened my laptop and emailed the coaching school and enrolled. Boom! I wasn’t going down that like. Through my growth work, I then learned what fear was all about, I taught myself how to fall in love in with it and I’ve been actualizing my vision ever since.
Today I have served thousands of people across the globe. I’m the best selling author, a TEDx speaker and spiritual advisor to leaders and entrepreneurs.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Lol. There is no world where the road is smooth. The road to success is paved by failure. I have made several mistakes and beautiful failures that have all lead me to more growth, success, and discovery. The way I see it, either I get what I intended or I learn an incredible lesson.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
I am a spiritual advisor and mindset teacher for visionary women leaders and entrepreneurs. I teach them to rise in all aspects of themselves so they can make a massive impact.
My work has a 100% success rate when you work it. I am also known as “Cut-The-Shit, Tracy Litt” because of my direct style. #PlatitudeWhisperer (Give me your platitudes and I’ll make them practical and applicable). The Cure for Emotional Congestion (Warning: Spend enough time with me and you WILL cry… it’s a great thing! We all need to cry more).
“The loving smack in the face I didn’t know I needed.”
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Consistently trusted myself. I always know what’s best for me and my business. And so do you.
