In this episode I talk to Tracy Wallace about how her life experiences have helped her cultivate emotional intelligence so that she can support herself and others.
Introduction
A Southern California native, Tracy grew up in a suburb just outside of Los Angeles proper, navigating the world as an only child. After graduating from USC with a Bachelor's in Business Administration, she opened her own retail store in Old Pasadena - a men's clothing store - and became integral to the area, being asked to serve on the area's inaugural Business Improvement District's Board.
Remaining an entrepreneur at heart, over the next 30 years, she went on to become a professional fundraiser for a host of nonprofits, and raised over $35 million for a number of causes, including homelessness, youth services and animal rescue. At the same time, she fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a stand-up comedian and performing in the top local clubs. She did this all while taking care of her Type 1 diabetic husband, bunnies, a horse, dogs and a cat.
Now going onto its third year, she brings a special perspective to her podcast, The Only Child Diaries, sharing stories to help others in their life journey, while laughing through it all.
