I would really love a series on home organization, like maybe how you organize your kitchen, bathroom, etc. I've been following you for five years, and I absolutely adore you. Your videos and your Organize Tomorrow Today workshop helped me so so much. The videos you did recently on your bedroom, etc were great ❤️
Tracy, Merry Christmas! Thank you for the work you do. I’ve watched you since I had my first daughter and just became a stay at home mom (6 years ago). You were the first person to show me that being a wife, mom and caretaker should be professionalized. You encouraged me and helped me through your many tips and pep-talk videos to stop whining and feeling sorry for myself (for the luxury of working and caring for my family) and start learning, studying and practicing to do and be better. Thank you for all you do.
Hi Tracey, ❤ You mentioned that you’re lucky to have the support system that you have; I disagree. You, Tracey, because of your character & values, draw people in so that they want to be with you and work for you! You have created a beautiful world for yourself & we all benefit from it. 🎉 ❤
Kia ora Tracey, thank you so much for your honesty and authenticity. I feel so inspired by your messages! I do hope you’re feeling physically well - I realise this video is a year old 🌸
Just knocked out another 2022 goal before the end of the year 🙌 I was once called a perfectionist and “controlled and rigid”. The ironic thing was the person who called me this was constantly frazzled, putting out fires, dwelling on the past, stuck in the present and unable to complete anything. As a result, our plans would fall through a lot, or she would arrive very late, and I didn’t like it happening on my watch, so that’s where her snarky remarks came from. Her life was chaotic and her promises were insincere. Effort (and reliability) and self improvement is very attractive! Perfectionism is about thinking your this never-ending work in progress that always needs to be tweaked, corrected and fixed. It’s self abuse.
Thank you Tracy. This community is so blessed to have access to the knowledge and wisdom that takes us to thriving. In a world full of victim-consciousness and blame-shifting, your message is empowering. I am excited about your 12-month course. It will be a gem -- just like you. Happy 1st Day of 2023.
"Where I put effort, I created" ❤ I didn't learn this, until I watched your videos. Learned helplessness is crippling our society. It really is about resilience. I can't wait for the 12 month program. I have been going to your homepage often to see if it's being offered. Always many thanks for your videos Tracy!
Love your videos --at my age 59!--it’s still hard not to take hateful or snarky comments personally and I’m in a largely male dominated industry --it’s just good to hear a beautiful, sweet Tracy say we don’t have to absorb them and move on with our lives ❤
Tracy , thank you so much for this video. I’ve been watching you for quite a few years, I have three very young children and through your youtube videos, you have helped me SO much to be the mom I need to be at home. So many people ask me if I work and I think , if you only knew the things that I do in one day.. thank you so much for validating that being a mom is a job and you can do it well and be intentional about not being sloppy in that . I am considered a perfectionist even though I do not think that about myself, I also do believe that I am just doing my best and want to execute what I am doing well. I also feel like SO many people are sloppy and then say things like I am lucky this and that but I definitely put the work in and take the time to put effort into what i am doing and you have helped me execute that in this busy time of my life . i’m rambling, but thank you so much for these videos that you provide to us viewers for free ❤ and happy new year 🎉 i am off to watch your organize tomorrow today
I'm a house wife and I decided not to have children but I highly admire women who decide to stay at home and take care of their children and husbands and put a great effort on doing it right. Just like you mentioned I constantly get ask if I work, to my surprise I get this kind of comments mostly from other women which is really sad. I learned through the years to take pride of being an excellent housewife and my 16 years of marriage and a wonderful husband are my daily motivation to improve every day in every aspect of my life. You are doing a great job and I'm sure your children will be wonderful adults thanks to your time, care and love. God bless you and your family !
Tracy, I absolutely love you! You’re surely the most beautiful and genuine person that I have ever seen. I am a long time subscriber and used to watch your videos often but life got busy. I thought of you the other day and now I am catching up with all videos I have missed! It is so good to see you thriving as always. ❤
Thank you for articulating this so very well! We used to call what you’re addressing here as congruence. When you’re inner self reflects your outer self. So beautiful to say that one can put effort in to align and create a life that perfectly matches one’s best self. Never thought of it that way. It takes so much effort to not be sloppy but so very worth it. I needed to hear this! Thank you again!
First up, continue to take care of yourself FIRST, Diva T cause we need your gift (Thank you), grazie, obrigado, danke and merci. If I could say “thank you” any other languages, I would. “thank you”for this most relevant information. Aspire to be your best self despite the outside world and all its drama. Love the content! And yes, I’ll continue to pass on your content to my sister-friends.
Hi Tracy! The concept of separating effort and follow-through from outcomes is simple yet powerful. While I was listening to that part of your video yesterday, a headache-type situation at work popped into my head. It was as if you adjusted my lens so I could see effort and outcome separate from each other, and being able to see the effort helped me find genuine appreciation - quite the antidote to frustration! This framework will also help me work through some things in my personal life where I haven't been putting forth effort, because I was mistaking outcomes for effort. Thank you for all you do. You are an inspiration!
Love checking in with you throughout the year. Have learned a great deal from your videos. I enjoy the replay sessions with the coaches as well. I am relieved that I am not a perfectionist. I do push effort with myself and my children. Thanks for caring and sharing. Happy New Year! May you continue to be blessed.
Thank you Tracy for this wonderful video! Idk why I almost teared up at the end lol menopause striking. THANK YOU for your priceless talks, guidance and information regarding so very much. Happy New Year. You’re a big part of my life. ❤
Merry Christmas! These sit down chats are my favorite type of videos that you do. I would hate to see them go - you are a gem. So wherever/however I can get a little bit of Tracy, I’ll be there!
Thank you so much for all you do, Tracy! When I first found you here on CZcams I binged a lot of your videos and learned so much from you! You’re like an older sister I never had. I find everything you share so helpful in this “mad world” like you say lol we appreciate you so much!! Much love ❤
The best sentence of the Video is, " I have FIVE childern." Your confidence is fantastic. Learned Simple and Charisma $ Be what you want to Be % Be with you inside out & Love yourself + Laugh to relax the sense
Tracy, thank you so much for your content. I listen to one of your videos almost every morning as I get ready for the day. You have helped me grow so much and I can't tell you how much I appreciate who you are and what you do.
You are such an inspiration to me. I've been watching you for years but honestly, I haven't changed. I keep sitting on the sidelines of life but this message hit different. I love the difference in perfectionist and effort. Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎉
I just found your website a few weeks ago. I am very thrilled with all your content. I am really learning a lot in just a few videos you have posted. Thanks for being so articulate, intelligent and caring and really wanting the viewers to grow and learn from your content I really appreciate your sincerity
Thank you for this message. It’s so needed. ❤ I’ve learned so much from your videos and still need to do some work. Especially on being ok with being different and not paying attention to the noise of the world!
God bless you Traci for sharing so much. And you look amazing! With makeup or not or a little. It’s not just what you have on but just the essence you exude! I’m so glad to have found you. Merry Christmas, God bless you! I pray the joy and peace of our Savior continue to surround you and your family! Thank you for the work you do. It’s not in vain!
Tracy This was the most Powerful video I have seen in a long long time,it's as though you were sitting right next to me telling me EXACTLY what I needed to hear..Thanyou you truly are inspiring..I have shared your videos with so many people and they have told me how much they enjoy your messages.God Bless Tracy.
Your explanation of effort and perfectionism made a lot of sense. I used to have some perfectionist tendencies. Now I still like to do things well, but I accept that certain things are not within my control.
Happy 2023 Tracy and I watch all your videos still 💜 hope you get feeling better. Thank you for sharing what your most proud accomplishment was. Makes sense, and we should all strive to be our best selves too. Happy new year ahead 💜🌟
I’ve been watching all your CZcams videos and every story on instagram for years. You did answer my dm recently and I really want you to know how much I appreciate you. You made me realize I am an effort girl and most of all that I am managing my life at this stage, 55 with grown children, and that’s my main focus. Management is a worthy job. THANK YOU TRACY!! Sending Prayers for finding answers on your health this next year.
Not everyone will have the same ideals, same ethics’s, same values. hopefully you and families have had a wonderful holiday season as well . Keep up the great work as always. Inspirational
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done Tracy! Thank you so much!!! I just got married this summer and I find that this topic of putting in the effort of good habits is what is going to make me the wife I want to be! Everyone says “happy wife, happy life” thinking that they have to make their wife happy in order to have a happy life! But I know that BEING a happy wife will give my husband a happy life! And he deserves that, and I want to do him good not harm all the days of my life! Also, if you have the chance to check out acupuncture, I highly recommend it! My mom has a basically incurable disease and has had amazing results from acupuncture! Just throwing that out there! I pray you progress and get better in your health issues! ❤️
Another beautiful & timely video, Tracy; thank you! Your “chats” are so enjoyable; they feel like sitting down with a wise & trusted friend. I’m looking forward to learning more about your 12 month program; sounds like something that might be just right for me! Thank you for all you do; have a blessed day! ❤
Hi, Tracy thank you for making this video. What you said really made me stop in my tracks and I realized that I have become complacent with sloppiness myself. I'm definitely going to regroup and start putting more effort into the areas I've been becoming more sloppy in. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for the video Tracy, I share many of your habits, I work as a Fitness Trainer, health is super important to me personally and I try to inspire my clients to clean up their diets and lifestyle. I walk to my own drummer and I am aware of the criticism but I am not bothered by it, I enjoy having standards. Having said that, The ludicrous lockdowns here in California derailed my livelihood and the stress of it all caused a major autoimmune condition that I am still struggling with so...... I had to put the whip down. I still workout most days, my standards are still there, but a big component of loving ourselves is accepting that what used to work for me; according to my body, is not working now. Listening to your body IS loving yourself. I take a lot of supplements, eat super healthy, try to get enough sleep, ect. What I don't do anymore is beat myself up for not living up to my old schedule and routine. The mind body connection is real and adrenal burnout is real, as Americans we are all about doing, I now believe there is power in letting some things go and replacing them with better behaviors. I agree about the "Sloppy" epidemic, I would love a future video on your take on WHY this has become so pervasive, I have my hunches but it would be an interesting video topic! Happy New Year and thanks for all you do, it is much appreciated.
Thank you. While I read a lot of excuses, I could easily have wrote this as it relates to my life in so many ways. I love how you followed up excuses with empowerment and stepping into your power. It' easy to fall into the victim thinking and certainly many (including myself) can back it. But the question is does it serve us? Go back to the video on where I talked about control and what we have control of and what you don't. Where do you put your energy? I think another listen will go a long way. Good Luck and keep your eye on the empowering side and not the poor me side. You've got this! Great work!
I can relate. Beautifully written, accurately explained, with a side of warm tough-love. Hope your health improves. I fight an autoimmune disease too and one day at a time is sometimes a great leap of faith. Today doesn't have to look like yesterday and tomorrow doesn't have to look like today. I love your sentence "Listening to your body IS loving yourself." Thank you for that.
Powerful message my husband and I have sacrificed so much and remained so disciplined despite constant noise around us. If we wanted we could completely retire at 45 but we are just getting started.
Tracy, infrared sauna should completely clear your inflammation and pain. 30 min at 130’F about 2-3 times a week. You just have to continue with it. I have clients which stop for a month while traveling and it comes back, however all my clients are medication and pain free. Get one for home, cca $3000 investment.
Tracey , Thank you for continuing to make highly helpful content and truly inspiring videos … Your older video about “ The Gremlin” really helped me get through the holiday crowds ( aniexty) this year .. Listening to you on my iPhone in my car , is like having my own personal life coach … As my mom is a loving wonderful person , I was not taught to be a “ strong woman “ I am learning now through each video … If you even leave UTube , please consider a podcast 🤩
I have been watching you for years. This has to be one of your best videos (IMHO). I would be so sad to not see you on CZcams & I’d be happy to support a patreon channel. Looking forward to learning more about your 12 month program as well. Thank you for all you do and teach. I’m so very grateful. ❤
I'm heading into my second 3-week intense program. The first one was definitely a blow to my ego, which I honestly needed. It made me put aside my excuses (I was determined to do this!), and made me reevaluate my perfectionistic tendencies. When I wasn't able to complete the program requirements every single day in its entirety (although I was pretty close!), it made me realize just what I am capable of, because I am an adult, and I can do hard things! And it was hard, since I was one to say that with my career and mothering, that I just didn't have time. I made time, because I had to. I still can't believe that in three weeks I was able to change the entire projection of my day. I'm excited to see how I continue to grow coming up in January, and I'd be one of your first to sign up for a 12 month growth project.
Love this, Laura. Thank you for taking the time out of your packed schedule to leave this incredible testimony. I look forward to you being part of the program.
Hi Tracy. This is a great video and the timing of it was perfect for me. I know there are areas of my life that are sloppy and can be improved and those will be a focus for 2023. I also need to stop buying my excuse of "it takes too much energy to do....." or "that's not my thing". Need to work on some self-coaching. Another focus for me will be tuning out the noise of the world. As a matter of fact, right before I watched your video I was on FB and saw a post that hit up against one of my 'sloppy' areas. I got very upset and started feeling very bad about myself. Mostly I think it was because it's a an area that I struggle with, but also because I was comparing myself. I want to grow into myself and not worry about other people! Thank you for your words. I am signed up for the the 3-week intense starting this week - can't wait!!
Merry Christmas Tracy. I watch all your videos when they come out. I can understand that you have to economize with your time. But I will be sorry if you stop. It is very refreshing to see a woman my own age on you tube. As well as spreading positive messages. I would love to support your channel. I have tried to get a place on Wine Wednesday. But unfortunately it doesn't work here in Denmark. Thanks for your good videos here on you tube
I really liked this video. I'm sorry for whatever it is you're struggling with; I hope God and your family continue to help you through it. I was "always a very happy kid & lit up the room when I walked in". Hard times in life beat the happiness out of me and I've been working on getting that genuine smile back. Smiling should be felt from within, not a front to mask the pain. So, I've been working on getting my smile back :) One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible is from Psalm 118:24 "This is the day Jehovah has made; We will be joyful and rejoice in it." God truly wants us to take one day at a time. Past happened. Future unknown. But today, we live. I've lost a lot of friends in death recently and its really made me think about how I choose to live my days that I have left. I don't want to be known as a perfectionist. I want to be remembered as someone who cared and loved and proved it by my actions. So each new day is another chance to make God smile, to love our family, and to support our friends. Each new day is another chance to tell the Devil "Not today, Satan!" Or, as you put it once, "Get back in your seat, Gremlin! I'm driving this bus!" Sometimes, we need to tell others (and ourselves!!!) "I would have to pencil you in on my calendar to be upset by what you did because I'm too busy loving you to be upset." (Equals forgiving freely like Jesus Christ said and not letting people get to us like you said.) I used to dread a new day because I was tired of not liking myself. But for the past few weeks I've been learning to "give myself some grace". Sloppiness is everywhere. It's accepted by most but each of us can say "It's not accepted by me. I'm going to give my best." Our best doesn't have to be 100%. Sometimes my best is 10% because I struggle with depression but 10% is better than 0%. There is a difference between tolerating and accepting. Sorry for my rant; I talk too much too, haha. Thanks again for the upbeat. Have a happy day Tracy!
Thank you Tracy for another great video. I learn something new with every video, even from the ones I think wouldn’t really apply to me. The effort you put into your channel is very much appreciated. 😊
Thank you for another great video. I often share your videos with my gf's. You're such an inspiration, and you inspire me to be the best I can be. Hope your New Year is going well. You're The Best!! 💖
Great video, Tracy! I always get so much from your videos and your Instagram stories. Thank you for taking your time and effort to share with us and teach us.
Dear Tracy, first of all I want to thank you for everything you teach me and, above all, for nurturing the hope of improving myself and my life. Thank you so much. Lately I've been noticing behavior in myself that I would like to improve/change. I very often find myself in a rushed, doing this, doing that. I ask you: how can I work on myself on this topic? How can I improve and change this rushed and sloppy attitude? In my job often I have to be speedy, but, listening to you, I begun to notice that, I don’t like the way I look, and I don’t like to feel like that, because I feel really agitated inside and not in control of myself, fearful of doing something wrong…I hope to express well. Thank you for your attention. A hug, with love.
Thank you, Patrizia! You are always so sweet and kind, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness and the time you take to express your gratitude to me. To answer your question: Be more aware of your movement and whether it serves you in that moment. Little bits of self-talk can do wonders. I 'feel' everything you describe, and I'm sure most can relate. I coach myself to slow down, move with Grace, and be meticulous. I don't strive for perfection, but my effort should be done well. Good Luck!
Tracy, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I’ve been watching your videos for years and have learned a lot from them. I’ve wanted to deleted you on several occasions but I’m still watching. You’ve made me see things in myself that I didn’t want to see and surely didn’t want others to see. I’ve changed in a lot of ways because of your great videos for the better. You still piss me off sometimes and that’s ok. Thank you so much for telling the cold hard facts.
Thank you for sharing, Lynn, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Your message gave me a big smile. I can relate and get it. I piss myself off sometimes when I have to be blunt with myself. But the wise coach in me bears a lot of weight, and I follow her guide. It has served me well. Thanks for being loyal and recognizing my I mean well. God Bless!
Tracy I haven't seen ypu in a while so sorry to hear you are feeling unwell. The menopause started my joint pain but hrt helped alot. You are an inspiration. I have and continue to put in alot of effort and follow through but have never had the acknowledgement from work. I'm nearly 60 now I have found myy focus and drive has changed. Anyway best wishes to you your health and your family for 2023. Margaret
Hi Margaret. Thank you for your lovely message. Please subscribe to my channel, so you don't miss my videos. I publish one to two per week. Glad to hear your joint pain has alleviated. Wishing you health and happiness in 2023.
Hello Tracy, my name is Audra, I watch you all of the time on repeat. Your videos are so informative and help me. I watch your older videos in the background as I am cleaning. I never really comment because I just do not get the time. I feel you are like the proverbs 31 woman passing down her knowledge. God bless you and the family, happy holidays
Thank you Tracy for the wonderful video~I loved it plus this look on you is very beautiful 💗 It’d be fabulous to have a video on progressing with health challenges. I keep much of my current health issue to myself or only a close few nor do I want everyone to know what I’m going through. I want to continue progressing in goals/life while nurturing myself in this season on dealing with a possible long treatment. My heart ❤️ & blessing for you~ ❤️ 👸
I loved this video! One of your best ever ! I am excited to sign up for another 3-week intense. I am excited to hear more details about your. 12-month program - I like the idea of it being for 12 months as it's a realistic time frame to see permanent changes in our lives. I know that many times when a program is short, you can easily forget about the program and you're off to something else, but a 12-month program gives the needed time and also (I think) would make your program much different than many others out there. I would also support a Patreon channel if you had one so I could help support you and ensure your content remains on CZcams and also allows you to profit from the time you spend making the videos. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Happy New Year Tracy🎉 you are amazing! I value you and your excellent advise! Your expertise is a gift of love to so many! Blessings to you and your family❤
Hi Tracy, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for this video, very informative and encouraging, as per usual. I have received a lot of mixed messages about effort vs. outcome, and I’ve always been a high effort person, and I find most people appreciate it, but at the same time express opinions on outcome if that doesn’t work out the way these other people think it should. And that has resulted in mixed messaging both coming at me, and from me to me as I analyze what’s occurring or what has occurred. I work a corporate job and it’s all about results, results, results, although all I can control is me and my efforts. I have critical family members that sometimes talk out of both sides of their mouths, leaving me feeling mixed. So I appreciate hearing your words about living my own truth and focusing on how I want to live and the person I want to be. That’s not easily changed given a lifetime of habit, or repeated experience, but I do feel encouraged that if I put the work in, I can make some improvements in how I handle myself.
Hi Gina. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. I appreciate your feedback. Based on what you shared, it sounds like you are trying to please others more than what you find serves you best. Understand that most people live pretty sloppily at their professional and personal levels. I, too, witness this but find no value in sloppy work. See what happens when you stay in your lane and continue putting the effort in for your well-being. Remove the expectation that others will do the same. I know some see this as enabling. I have been accused of being an enabler more than I have been accused of being a perfectionist. I continue to do what serves me best, but I don't let sloppy, irresponsible people off the hook. I create boundaries with them. They may not find my limits pleasing, which makes sense, coming from their messy lens. I confidently wipe my hands clean and let them handle the consequences they often face for their lack of follow-through or sloppiness. I hope this makes sense and helps. It is undoubtedly a complex topic to cover. It has been an excellent step for me. I rarely bat a lash at others living a low-quality life. I see how they are living as a reminder of how I don't want to live. I want to celebrate the gift of life given to me and do it well. Happy New Year!
Tracy, thank you for this video. I don’t really know where to start, but you have said what I always ask myself. Why is it that instead of going forward with the way people conduct themself, all has turned to the sloppy way they behave. Like I said, it’s too much to explain and you already did that on this video. I hope you understand what I mean ❤
Thank you, Lola. Fortunately, you don't have to subscribe to the sloppy way of living. You can subscribe, or you can choose not to. The decision will always be yours. I completely understand what you mean. I hope you understand what I mean.
I would really love a series on home organization, like maybe how you organize your kitchen, bathroom, etc. I've been following you for five years, and I absolutely adore you. Your videos and your Organize Tomorrow Today workshop helped me so so much. The videos you did recently on your bedroom, etc were great ❤️

Well said!!
Hi Tracey, ❤
You mentioned that you’re lucky to have the support system that you have; I disagree. You, Tracey, because of your character & values, draw people in so that they want to be with you and work for you! You have created a beautiful world for yourself & we all benefit from it. 🎉 ❤
Thank you, Elizabeth. I appreciate your lovely message.
My 18 year old daughter told me a quote she read yesterday:
"There is no ugly: only LAZY."
So true!
Kia ora Tracey, thank you so much for your honesty and authenticity. I feel so inspired by your messages! I do hope you’re feeling physically well - I realise this video is a year old 🌸
Just knocked out another 2022 goal before the end of the year 🙌
I was once called a perfectionist and “controlled and rigid”. The ironic thing was the person who called me this was constantly frazzled, putting out fires, dwelling on the past, stuck in the present and unable to complete anything. As a result, our plans would fall through a lot, or she would arrive very late, and I didn’t like it happening on my watch, so that’s where her snarky remarks came from.

Effort (and reliability) and self improvement is very attractive! Perfectionism is about thinking your this never-ending work in progress that always needs to be tweaked, corrected and fixed. It’s self abuse.

Making my list of what I need to do to love myself.
I love the fact that you mentioned tuning out the noise of the world! Listening to your advice has been so helpful for me!
Tracy I LOVE your "chit chat" videos. I feel like I'm just on the phone with my sister. ❤
-Amber
Tracy, I absolutely love you! You’re surely the most beautiful and genuine person that I have ever seen. I am a long time subscriber and used to watch your videos often but life got busy. I thought of you the other day and now I am catching up with all videos I have missed!
It is so good to see you thriving as always. ❤
Thank you for articulating this so very well! We used to call what you’re addressing here as congruence. When you’re inner self reflects your outer self.

Happy 2023 Tracy 🌹Love this video ❤
Hi Tracy! The concept of separating effort and follow-through from outcomes is simple yet powerful. While I was listening to that part of your video yesterday, a headache-type situation at work popped into my head. It was as if you adjusted my lens so I could see effort and outcome separate from each other, and being able to see the effort helped me find genuine appreciation - quite the antidote to frustration! This framework will also help me work through some things in my personal life where I haven't been putting forth effort, because I was mistaking outcomes for effort. Thank you for all you do. You are an inspiration!
Love checking in with you throughout the year. Have learned a great deal from your videos. I enjoy the replay sessions with the coaches as well. I am relieved that I am not a perfectionist. I do push effort with myself and my children. Thanks for caring and sharing. Happy New Year! May you continue to be blessed.
Tracy, this natural look on you is so beautiful. Love it!
Thank you Tracy for this wonderful video! Idk why I almost teared up at the end lol menopause striking. THANK YOU for your priceless talks, guidance and information regarding so very much. Happy New Year. You’re a big part of my life. ❤
Merry Christmas! These sit down chats are my favorite type of videos that you do. I would hate to see them go - you are a gem. So wherever/however I can get a little bit of Tracy, I’ll be there!
Thank you so much for all you do, Tracy! When I first found you here on CZcams I binged a lot of your videos and learned so much from you! You’re like an older sister I never had. I find everything you share so helpful in this “mad world” like you say lol we appreciate you so much!! Much love ❤
I had to rewatch the video your voice is wonderful!
The best sentence of the Video is, " I have FIVE childern." Your confidence is fantastic.
Learned Simple and Charisma
$ Be what you want to Be
% Be with you inside out
& Love yourself
+ Laugh to relax the sense
Tracy THANK YOU! For all you do and are :) You have no idea how much you have helped me, or maybe you do! Sending you love always!!
Tracy, thank you so much for your content. I listen to one of your videos almost every morning as I get ready for the day. You have helped me grow so much and I can't tell you how much I appreciate who you are and what you do.
You are such an inspiration to me. I've been watching you for years but honestly, I haven't changed. I keep sitting on the sidelines of life but this message hit different. I love the difference in perfectionist and effort. Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎉
I just found your website a few weeks ago. I am very thrilled with all your content. I am really learning a lot in just a few videos you have posted. Thanks for being so articulate, intelligent and caring and really wanting the viewers to grow and learn from your content I really appreciate your sincerity
Thank you for this message. It’s so needed. ❤ I’ve learned so much from your videos and still need to do some work. Especially on being ok with being different and not paying attention to the noise of the world!
God bless you Traci for sharing so much. And you look amazing! With makeup or not or a little. It’s not just what you have on but just the essence you exude! I’m so glad to have found you. Merry Christmas, God bless you! I pray the joy and peace of our Savior continue to surround you and your family! Thank you for the work you do. It’s not in vain!
I’d be interested in the 12 month program. Happy 2023!
Best wishes for the New Year. Thanks for New thoughts and ideas and vivacious talk.
Tracy This was the most Powerful video I have seen in a long long time,it's as though you were sitting right next to me telling me EXACTLY what I needed to hear..Thanyou you truly are inspiring..I have shared your videos with so many people and they have told me how much they enjoy your messages.God Bless Tracy.
You are such a mother figure for me. I am excited for the details of the 12 month course. ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for all you do
Your explanation of effort and perfectionism made a lot of sense. I used to have some perfectionist tendencies. Now I still like to do things well, but I accept that certain things are not within my control.
Happy 2023 Tracy and I watch all your videos still 💜 hope you get feeling better. Thank you for sharing what your most proud accomplishment was. Makes sense, and we should all strive to be our best selves too. Happy new year ahead 💜🌟
I’ve been watching all your CZcams videos and every story on instagram for years. You did answer my dm recently and I really want you to know how much I appreciate you. You made me realize I am an effort girl and most of all that I am managing my life at this stage, 55 with grown children, and that’s my main focus. Management is a worthy job. THANK YOU TRACY!! Sending Prayers for finding answers on your health this next year.
Not everyone will have the same ideals, same ethics’s, same values. hopefully you and families have had a wonderful holiday season as well .
Keep up the great work as always.

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done Tracy! Thank you so much!!! I just got married this summer and I find that this topic of putting in the effort of good habits is what is going to make me the wife I want to be! Everyone says “happy wife, happy life” thinking that they have to make their wife happy in order to have a happy life! But I know that BEING a happy wife will give my husband a happy life! And he deserves that, and I want to do him good not harm all the days of my life! Also, if you have the chance to check out acupuncture, I highly recommend it! My mom has a basically incurable disease and has had amazing results from acupuncture! Just throwing that out there! I pray you progress and get better in your health issues! ❤️
I LOVE YOUR BLOOPERS VIDEOS! I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS, SO INFORMATIVE AND INSPIRING! THANK YOU TRACY! HUGS AND LOVE TO YOU!!!
Another beautiful & timely video, Tracy; thank you! Your “chats” are so enjoyable; they feel like sitting down with a wise & trusted friend. I’m looking forward to learning more about your 12 month program; sounds like something that might be just right for me! Thank you for all you do; have a blessed day! ❤
I am so grateful for you Tracy,
your wisdom,honesty,positive and proactive attitude 🙏
Blessings for you and family!
Great video! Keep Tracy on CZcams! We appreciate you!
Hi, Tracy thank you for making this video. What you said really made me stop in my tracks and I realized that I have become complacent with sloppiness myself. I'm definitely going to regroup and start putting more effort into the areas I've been becoming more sloppy in. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for the video Tracy !
You speak the truth so eloquently !
Thanks for the video Tracy, I share many of your habits, I work as a Fitness Trainer, health is super important to me personally and I try to inspire my clients to clean up their diets and lifestyle. I walk to my own drummer and I am aware of the criticism but I am not bothered by it, I enjoy having standards. Having said that, The ludicrous lockdowns here in California derailed my livelihood and the stress of it all caused a major autoimmune condition that I am still struggling with so...... I had to put the whip down. I still workout most days, my standards are still there, but a big component of loving ourselves is accepting that what used to work for me; according to my body, is not working now. Listening to your body IS loving yourself. I take a lot of supplements, eat super healthy, try to get enough sleep, ect. What I don't do anymore is beat myself up for not living up to my old schedule and routine. The mind body connection is real and adrenal burnout is real, as Americans we are all about doing, I now believe there is power in letting some things go and replacing them with better behaviors. I agree about the "Sloppy" epidemic, I would love a future video on your take on WHY this has become so pervasive, I have my hunches but it would be an interesting video topic! Happy New Year and thanks for all you do, it is much appreciated.
Thank you. While I read a lot of excuses, I could easily have wrote this as it relates to my life in so many ways. I love how you followed up excuses with empowerment and stepping into your power. It' easy to fall into the victim thinking and certainly many (including myself) can back it. But the question is does it serve us? Go back to the video on where I talked about control and what we have control of and what you don't. Where do you put your energy? I think another listen will go a long way. Good Luck and keep your eye on the empowering side and not the poor me side. You've got this! Great work!
I can relate. Beautifully written, accurately explained, with a side of warm tough-love. Hope your health improves. I fight an autoimmune disease too and one day at a time is sometimes a great leap of faith. Today doesn't have to look like yesterday and tomorrow doesn't have to look like today. I love your sentence "Listening to your body IS loving yourself." Thank you for that.
@@sharlyt3557 I hope your health improves too. Thank you for the reply. FAITH = Forwarding All Issues To Him. Hope this next year is a blessed one!!!
Powerful message my husband and I have sacrificed so much and remained so disciplined despite constant noise around us. If we wanted we could completely retire at 45 but we are just getting started.
Tracy, infrared sauna should completely clear your inflammation and pain. 30 min at 130’F about 2-3 times a week. You just have to continue with it. I have clients which stop for a month while traveling and it comes back, however all my clients are medication and pain free. Get one for home, cca $3000 investment.
Tracey , Thank you for continuing to make highly helpful content and truly inspiring videos … Your older video about “ The Gremlin” really helped me get through the holiday crowds ( aniexty) this year .. Listening to you on my iPhone in my car , is like having my own personal life coach … As my mom is a loving wonderful person , I was not taught to be a “ strong woman “ I am learning now through each video … If you even leave UTube , please consider a podcast 🤩
Thank you for choosing to BE an inspiration!
Thank you for pointing out what you did about sloppiness. For sure I don’t want to start a year being that!
Another genius gift from Tracy Hansel. Perfect timing also! Thank you so very much Tracy♥️
I have been watching you for years. This has to be one of your best videos
(IMHO). I would be so sad to not see you on CZcams & I’d be happy to support a patreon channel. Looking forward to learning more about your 12 month program as well. Thank you for all you do and teach. I’m so very grateful. ❤
I enjoyed this video like so many others. I will share your videos with my friends Tracy because I know how invaluable they are to me!!!
I love that you love yourself. Me too. But always room for some personal improvement in my case occasionally.
Can't wait for the new program! I share about you all the time and will continue to do so. Thank you for your words of wisdom.
So powerful! Thank you very much for sharing!🙏🏾✨
I'm heading into my second 3-week intense program. The first one was definitely a blow to my ego, which I honestly needed. It made me put aside my excuses (I was determined to do this!), and made me reevaluate my perfectionistic tendencies. When I wasn't able to complete the program requirements every single day in its entirety (although I was pretty close!), it made me realize just what I am capable of, because I am an adult, and I can do hard things! And it was hard, since I was one to say that with my career and mothering, that I just didn't have time. I made time, because I had to. I still can't believe that in three weeks I was able to change the entire projection of my day. I'm excited to see how I continue to grow coming up in January, and I'd be one of your first to sign up for a 12 month growth project.
Love this, Laura. Thank you for taking the time out of your packed schedule to leave this incredible testimony. I look forward to you being part of the program.
Hi Tracy. This is a great video and the timing of it was perfect for me. I know there are areas of my life that are sloppy and can be improved and those will be a focus for 2023. I also need to stop buying my excuse of "it takes too much energy to do....." or "that's not my thing". Need to work on some self-coaching. Another focus for me will be tuning out the noise of the world. As a matter of fact, right before I watched your video I was on FB and saw a post that hit up against one of my 'sloppy' areas. I got very upset and started feeling very bad about myself. Mostly I think it was because it's a an area that I struggle with, but also because I was comparing myself. I want to grow into myself and not worry about other people! Thank you for your words. I am signed up for the the 3-week intense starting this week - can't wait!!
This was GREAT, Traci! I needed to hear this today. Can’t wait for the bloopers🤣
Merry Christmas Tracy.
I watch all your videos when they come out. I can understand that you have to economize with your time. But I will be sorry if you stop. It is very refreshing to see a woman my own age on you tube. As well as spreading positive messages.
I would love to support your channel. I have tried to get a place on Wine Wednesday. But unfortunately it doesn't work here in Denmark.
Thanks for your good videos here on you tube
I really liked this video. I'm sorry for whatever it is you're struggling with; I hope God and your family continue to help you through it. I was "always a very happy kid & lit up the room when I walked in". Hard times in life beat the happiness out of me and I've been working on getting that genuine smile back. Smiling should be felt from within, not a front to mask the pain. So, I've been working on getting my smile back :) One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible is from Psalm 118:24 "This is the day Jehovah has made; We will be joyful and rejoice in it." God truly wants us to take one day at a time. Past happened. Future unknown. But today, we live. I've lost a lot of friends in death recently and its really made me think about how I choose to live my days that I have left. I don't want to be known as a perfectionist. I want to be remembered as someone who cared and loved and proved it by my actions. So each new day is another chance to make God smile, to love our family, and to support our friends. Each new day is another chance to tell the Devil "Not today, Satan!" Or, as you put it once, "Get back in your seat, Gremlin! I'm driving this bus!" Sometimes, we need to tell others (and ourselves!!!) "I would have to pencil you in on my calendar to be upset by what you did because I'm too busy loving you to be upset." (Equals forgiving freely like Jesus Christ said and not letting people get to us like you said.) I used to dread a new day because I was tired of not liking myself. But for the past few weeks I've been learning to "give myself some grace". Sloppiness is everywhere. It's accepted by most but each of us can say "It's not accepted by me. I'm going to give my best." Our best doesn't have to be 100%. Sometimes my best is 10% because I struggle with depression but 10% is better than 0%. There is a difference between tolerating and accepting. Sorry for my rant; I talk too much too, haha. Thanks again for the upbeat. Have a happy day Tracy!
Thank you Tracy for another great video. I learn something new with every video, even from the ones I think wouldn’t really apply to me. The effort you put into your channel is very much appreciated. 😊
I would love to see a wine Wednesday back in the rotation! I think it’s been a while and I always enjoyed those videos.
Thank you for another great video. I often share your videos with my gf's. You're such an inspiration, and you inspire me to be the best I can be. Hope your New Year is going well. You're The Best!! 💖
Great video, Tracy! I always get so much from your videos and your Instagram stories. Thank you for taking your time and effort to share with us and teach us.
Dear Tracy, first of all I want to thank you for everything you teach me and, above all, for nurturing the hope of improving myself and my life. Thank you so much.
Lately I've been noticing behavior in myself that I would like to improve/change. I very often find myself in a rushed, doing this, doing that. I ask you: how can I work on myself on this topic? How can I improve and change this rushed and sloppy attitude? In my job often I have to be speedy, but, listening to you, I begun to notice that, I don’t like the way I look, and I don’t like to feel like that, because I feel really agitated inside and not in control of myself, fearful of doing something wrong…I hope to express well. Thank you for your attention. A hug, with love.
Thank you, Patrizia! You are always so sweet and kind, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness and the time you take to express your gratitude to me.
To answer your question: Be more aware of your movement and whether it serves you in that moment. Little bits of self-talk can do wonders. I 'feel' everything you describe, and I'm sure most can relate. I coach myself to slow down, move with Grace, and be meticulous. I don't strive for perfection, but my effort should be done well. Good Luck!
@@TracyHensel❤
Thank you for your inspirational words and thoughts. Much appreciation for you. Hope you feel better.
I lost my mom in my early twenties. You're the mom advice I have needed over the years. Thank you 💓
Tracy, you are my absolute FAVORITE! Thank you so much for your advice and perspective on life. ps- hello from Plymouth, Michigan!
Tracy, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I’ve been watching your videos for years and have learned a lot from them. I’ve wanted to deleted you on several occasions but I’m still watching. You’ve made me see things in myself that I didn’t want to see and surely didn’t want others to see. I’ve changed in a lot of ways because of your great videos for the better. You still piss me off sometimes and that’s ok. Thank you so much for telling the cold hard facts.
Thank you for sharing, Lynn, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Your message gave me a big smile. I can relate and get it. I piss myself off sometimes when I have to be blunt with myself. But the wise coach in me bears a lot of weight, and I follow her guide. It has served me well. Thanks for being loyal and recognizing my I mean well. God Bless!
Tracy I haven't seen ypu in a while so sorry to hear you are feeling unwell. The menopause started my joint pain but hrt helped alot. You are an inspiration. I have and continue to put in alot of effort and follow through but have never had the acknowledgement from work. I'm nearly 60 now I have found myy focus and drive has changed. Anyway best wishes to you your health and your family for 2023. Margaret
Hi Margaret. Thank you for your lovely message. Please subscribe to my channel, so you don't miss my videos. I publish one to two per week. Glad to hear your joint pain has alleviated. Wishing you health and happiness in 2023.
❤❤❤❤❤ I can’t wait for your new program 😊!!! Admire and appreciate you so much!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the amazing information. This is a great format for sharing as I watch for these self improvement offerings.
Powerful message. Thank you for this!!
Hello Tracy, my name is Audra, I watch you all of the time on repeat. Your videos are so informative and help me. I watch your older videos in the background as I am cleaning. I never really comment because I just do not get the time. I feel you are like the proverbs 31 woman passing down her knowledge. God bless you and the family, happy holidays
Thank you for your loyal watching of my content and your lovely message. It means a lot. May God Bless you and your family!
Thank you Tracy for the wonderful video~I loved it plus this look on you is very beautiful 💗 It’d be fabulous to have a video on progressing with health challenges. I keep much of my current health issue to myself or only a close few nor do I want everyone to know what I’m going through. I want to continue progressing in goals/life while nurturing myself in this season on dealing with a possible long treatment. My heart ❤️ & blessing for you~ ❤️ 👸
I loved this video! One of your best ever ! I am excited to sign up for another 3-week intense. I am excited to hear more details about your. 12-month program - I like the idea of it being for 12 months as it's a realistic time frame to see permanent changes in our lives. I know that many times when a program is short, you can easily forget about the program and you're off to something else, but a 12-month program gives the needed time and also (I think) would make your program much different than many others out there. I would also support a Patreon channel if you had one so I could help support you and ensure your content remains on CZcams and also allows you to profit from the time you spend making the videos. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Appreciate you, Tracy! I am looking forward to the Three Week Intense coming up soon!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I’m so happy to watch your videos and learn from you. Many blessings!
Tracy, Thank you for this video. As always, you are very inspirational.
Happy New Year Tracy🎉 you are amazing! I value you and your excellent advise! Your expertise is a gift of love to so many! Blessings to you and your family❤

Merry Christmas💕 Thank you for all you do Tracy, looking so forward to 3week intense! It’s time for me to get my sh#* together 😊
Commenting for support and engagement
You are a good one! God bless you ❤🥺
Hi Tracy, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for this video, very informative and encouraging, as per usual. I have received a lot of mixed messages about effort vs. outcome, and I’ve always been a high effort person, and I find most people appreciate it, but at the same time express opinions on outcome if that doesn’t work out the way these other people think it should. And that has resulted in mixed messaging both coming at me, and from me to me as I analyze what’s occurring or what has occurred. I work a corporate job and it’s all about results, results, results, although all I can control is me and my efforts. I have critical family members that sometimes talk out of both sides of their mouths, leaving me feeling mixed. So I appreciate hearing your words about living my own truth and focusing on how I want to live and the person I want to be. That’s not easily changed given a lifetime of habit, or repeated experience, but I do feel encouraged that if I put the work in, I can make some improvements in how I handle myself.
Hi Gina. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. I appreciate your feedback. Based on what you shared, it sounds like you are trying to please others more than what you find serves you best. Understand that most people live pretty sloppily at their professional and personal levels. I, too, witness this but find no value in sloppy work. See what happens when you stay in your lane and continue putting the effort in for your well-being. Remove the expectation that others will do the same. I know some see this as enabling. I have been accused of being an enabler more than I have been accused of being a perfectionist. I continue to do what serves me best, but I don't let sloppy, irresponsible people off the hook. I create boundaries with them. They may not find my limits pleasing, which makes sense, coming from their messy lens. I confidently wipe my hands clean and let them handle the consequences they often face for their lack of follow-through or sloppiness. I hope this makes sense and helps. It is undoubtedly a complex topic to cover. It has been an excellent step for me. I rarely bat a lash at others living a low-quality life. I see how they are living as a reminder of how I don't want to live. I want to celebrate the gift of life given to me and do it well. Happy New Year!
Tracy, thank you for this video. I don’t really know where to start, but you have said what I always ask myself. Why is it that instead of going forward with the way people conduct themself, all has turned to the sloppy way they behave. Like I said, it’s too much to explain and you already did that on this video. I hope you understand what I mean ❤
Thank you, Lola. Fortunately, you don't have to subscribe to the sloppy way of living. You can subscribe, or you can choose not to. The decision will always be yours. I completely understand what you mean. I hope you understand what I mean.
Merry Christmas Tracy! I'm so grateful for all of your videos. I've definitely seen a change in my life by putting effort into the things I do.
Excellent video, full of information and thought provoking. Thank you.
So, so good!!! Thank you, Tracy!
