Episode Summary
This episode with Dr. Courtney Tracy is deeply moving—a raw and honest reflection on what it means to be truly seen. Dr. Courtney's presence is a powerful reminder of why this work matters. Her vulnerability invites us all to look within, to embrace our unconscious, and to recognize our own potential for growth and healing.
We dive into her new book, Your Unconscious Is Showing, an essential guide to understanding how our unconscious behaviors shape our lives—and how we can take control of our own narratives. The book offers a 12-step program on “waking up” and directing your unconscious with consciousness instead of allowing your unconscious to unwittingly call all the shots.
This conversation is one that lingers. One that reminds us of our purpose. One that affirms the power of truth.
