In episode 132, I speak with international best-selling author of 18 books, speaker, writing coach, and dynamic course creator, Tracee Garner. She writes fiction and nonfiction depicting African-Americans triumphing over adversity and meeting success, whether that be in love, or life pursuits. Since a young age, Tracee has navigated a life in a wheelchair with Muscular Dystrophy, and has not only overcome obstacles in her life, but used them as a platform to make a difference in the lives of others. The greatest thing I got from Tracee, was the belief she has in herself that she is worthy and wonderful. This is a powerful and inspiring conversation, not to be missed.
In her books, best-selling author, speaker and disability advocate, Tracee Garner demonstrates what it means to push through. She loves sharing stories around: overcoming adversity, dealing with disability an inaccessible world, finding support for mental health as a black women, and encouraging others with disabilities, as well as their parents, that their attitude will have a positive or devastating effect on their child's ability to develop a can-do outlook on life and their disability.
Interestingly the thing that inspired me most about Tracee was when, in a very humble way, she described herself as a wonderful and worthy person. What she has had to deal with, navigate and overcome to be able to make that statement is something every single person needs to hear. When we truly believe we are worthy and wonderful, anything is possible. Tracee has demonstrated this with her wonderful career and life success. Not only working in a full-time job she loves, she is the author of almost 20 books, a speaker and a coach. She is passionately impacting lives all around the world.
Tracee's brand of amazing humor and encouragement, while still keeping it real with everyone who listens, will have people feeling better about whatever situations of life they find themselves in. She can teach listeners how to overcome personal and inner barriers as well as the one society places on all of us. This is a wonderful converstation for every single person.
