Season 3/Episode 29: Tracey Kowalchuk - Learning how to be vulnerable and resilient

Peggie Koenig, Catherine Gryba, Tracey Kowalchuk Season 3 Episode 29


Quotes about change: "Don't put a lid on your emotions."

Tracey was influenced at an early age by her Mom. Her father had health problems, and her Mom had to  run the farm.  At eight years old, she saw her Mom asking for money because nothing at the bank or on the farm was in her name. This had a profound impact on Tracey.

At a young age, Tracey became her Mom’s partner and  they managed the farm together. She left to pursue her education working four jobs at one time to make ends meet. 

Tracey’s approach to life was to be tough – face life with toughness and you’ll get through. But her life changed when she changed her approach to being more vulnerable.  The old Tracey was broken, and she needed a different way to put herself back together. Her vulnerability and resilience gave her the support she needed when facing a heart-breaking loss.

Today, she has her Masters in Leadership and is a Leadership Development Coach.  Tracey still holds space to be vulnerable.
