Episode 63: A New Way to Get Unstuck and Unlock Your True Self (Part 1) - with Tracy Brown
The majority of us were raised by parents with unhealed wounds. As a result, we can end up wearing ‘masks’ to be who we think we need to be to fit into our family and our society, while we ignore or bury our own feelings. As we get older this can make us feel stuck and cause difficulty connecting with ourselves and our needs, which can affect all of our relationships.
Our guest today shares a new roadmap for how to heal old wounds, let go of false beliefs, and release generational trauma. This simple model can help you gain greater self-awareness by understanding how your experiences have shaped you, so you can respond to life in a healthy way. This is the first in a two-part series, so make sure to check out episode 65 as well!
In Kumbay’all episode 63, Amanda, Rebecca, and Tracy Brown discuss:
The different phases of our lives and where our wounding comes from
Examples of childhood wounds that you might not even realize are there
The ways our ego can keep us from feeling our emotions
What triggers really are and how to identify them
How we can begin healing and get to know ourselves
We hope this episode provides helpful tips, insight, and encouragement to you!

About Our Guest:
Tracy Brown is a Certified Adult Chair® Transformational Coach whose journey illustrates the power of self-discovery and self-acceptance. She began her career working with award-winning advertising agencies and representing academy award-winning directors. The two decades she spent in this field honed her skills in uncovering and creating stories that celebrate the human spirit and forge connections in the heart across diverse communities, but she knew that it wasn’t fulfilling her soul’s purpose of empowering women.
In 2017 she embarked on a personal healing and spiritual awakening journey that led her to co-found a women’s skincare line and immerse herself in holistic practices such as becoming certified as a Reiki practitioner, Cacao practitioner, and Akashic Records reader. These avenues guided Tracy toward her ultimate calling as an Adult Chair Life Coach.
While becoming certified in the Adult Chair model Tracy received her deepest healing. Now she seamlessly blends her diverse expertise and personal healing path to support women in reclaiming their authentic selves. Her mission is to empower women to embrace their truth, dissolve limiting beliefs, and transcend generational trauma.
Tracy’s heart-centered approach offers a safe space for women to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Through introspection and guidance, women are empowered to heal old wounds so they can reconnect to their authentic selves and enjoy a more aligned life and fulfilling relationships with less stress and true joy and happiness.
