The Heart Behind This

"One story, one moment at a time."

My Story

I'm someone who's still figuring it out—and maybe that's why you're here too. My name is Traci, and at 44, I've found myself in a place of searching: for purpose, for passion, for peace.

One of the things I value most about myself is my ability to show up with positivity and make people feel truly seen. And yet, I've wrestled quietly with my own fears, doubts, and uncertainty about what I'm really here to do.

Over time, I've discovered a lot about myself. I've come to understand how much I value helping others, how much strength there is in vulnerability, and how essential it is—though often uncomfortable—to set boundaries and speak up.

"I've always had a voice, but I wasn't sure how or where to use it. And even now, I'm still growing."

My Core Values

These are the values I return to—especially when I feel unsure of myself or the path I'm on.

Altruism

The act of showing up for others. I strive to lead with compassion and empathy, because I know how much it matters to feel seen.

Adaptability

The reminder that I can evolve, even in the face of fear. Change is constant, and growth comes from embracing it.

Authenticity

Leave the fakeness at the door. I show up real—flaws, truth, and all. Honesty and a whole heart matter most to me. Be real. Be humble. Be cool.

Communication

Though it's something I still struggle with in certain relationships—it's a value I continue to work on with intention and heart.

The Journey

The Struggle

I've realized that communication isn't always easy, especially in the relationships that matter most. I've had to sit with discomfort, navigate fear, and figure out how to move forward even when the path feels unclear.

Growth in progress

The Vision

A place that reminds us we're not alone, that being stuck is human, and that growth happens when we share what's real. Here, we lean on each other, we reflect, and we rise—one story, one moment at a time.

Where we're going

Favorite Quote

"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don't just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly. No one ever said life would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it."
