044 | Lessons From Our Twenties: The Good, The Bad, The Overrated

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 10:00:47 GMT

Transparently, Guerdley and I are now closer in age to forty than thirty… Which is mind-boggling because it feels like time is speeding by with no regard for our feelings, yet it also feels like we’ve lived so many lives, we should probably be in our eighties?!

So in this episode we’re in the mood for throwing it back to that one-of-a-kind period known as our twenties. A unique decade full of important and overrated moments that shaped us for the better. Let’s get into some reflection shall we?

Pull up for conversation on:

(2:00) How we’re currently feeling — finding the sweet spot between ease & effort

(8:30) The astrology of your twenties

(11:00) Honoring our past selves as ancestors

(17:00) The most overrated parts of our twenties

(18:00) Why we will never get a Brazilian wax ever again

(24:30) Why living & working in Manhattan is overrated

(35:00) When Tracy had to drop a college class due to a particular someone’s presence lol

040 | Jessamyn Stanley: Love Thy Ass + Wellness Gone Mad

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 04:00:00 GMT

The first time I heard Jessamyn Stanley speak in 2019, I immediately felt like I could trust this woman to hold it dowwwwwwn when it came to representing some of my most important beliefs, no matter who was or wasn't in the room.

She’s an award-winning yoga instructor and intersectional activist with a heavy PASSION for diversity + inclusion in the self-care space.

There’s so much laughter and memorable dialogue in this episode about why yoga in the west was initially more embraced by white folks, why in her words "self-hatred is such a boring distraction," advice for those uncomfortable with the word 'fat' and hella more.

I hope you enjoy this convo as much as I did.

Per usual, I’m very thankful for your support! If you loved this episode please consider leaving a rating, review and sharing with your people!

You can also hit me up on social media, I’m @itstracyg everywhere and Jessica can be found @mynameisjessamyn. Appreciation overload!

039 | Jessica Dore: Mystical Girl, Material World

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 19:19:57 GMT

Celebrated tarot practitioner, Jessica Dore is a woman who reminds me on the daily that the internet can be a soulful place. In her words she’s “interested in using tarot cards to help people understand the interplay between internal and external life and to behave flexibly and in alignment with what is most precious.”

In my words: she’s a psychology / mysticism appreciator’s wet dream.

We talk about why tarot has had such a profound comeback during modern day times, her very unique morning routine, what the energy of lust, anger and grief have taught her and so much more.

Jess has delighted my heart and stretched my brain and you need some of that. Enjoy.

If you love what you hear, please consider rating and sharing this podcast if you haven’t already. I can be found everywhere on social @itstracyg and send Jess some love! She’s @thejessicadore everywhere as well.

Per usual, I’m very thankful for your support!

038 | Thrills And Potions: His + Hers Relationship Q&A

For this episode, I’m in convo with the human I’ve been merrily monogamous with for 4 years to date, Carl Joseph-Black. If you follow me on Instagram, you know Carl's been invaluable to my personal development. Since much of this community has been curious about some more details on our union, we’re going to answer questions from yall taken directly from IG Stories.

As with prior episodes of this season, we recorded this one pre-covid19 so unfortunately we won’t have the stories and lessons and the bigass fight that happened during our time locked down in our Brooklyn apartment to share with yall lolol. But trust, if you’re currently in a relationship or manifesting a relationship or just nosy about why the fuck I love this dude… keep listening.

Per usual, if you enjoy this episode, please leave a rating + review, tell me on social media (@itstracyg) and share with a friend. This podcast is independently produced and every drop of naturally positive feedback from you makes a big impact.

Also, if you wanna follow Carl he's @cjoeblack everywhere! xx TG

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 17:16:37 GMT

The longest sexual orientation I've ever identified with is bisexual, but in recent years it just hasn't felt as accurate a description as it once did which made me extra curious about myself and wanting to walk down my memory lane of sexuality. So we're talking about a lot, including the question of... is it more liberating to have a threesome or to fantasize about having a threesome lolol.

036 | Leaving Her: A Short Story About My Abusive Relationship

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 15:45:29 GMT

My ex-girlfriend is nowhere to be found on the internet. She’s not Googable. She hated Facebook even before our parents joined. But I can easily scroll through our early 20-something faces, our passion, our disaster, all in my head.

This episode of #ShesBeautyAndTheBeast is a pivot from the general vibe I’ve rolled out thus far.

My mom is absolutely not going to enjoy the fact that I’m sharing this one with yall (or next week’s episode for that matter) and I get that. As a Scorpio, I especially appreciate the intention of protection.

However, I remember feeling so tragically alone during me and my ex’s darkest hours and the mere existence of that illusion is reason enough for me to share a bit of some shit.

Have a listen, share with some fellow humans and feel free to hit me with your perspective. I'm here: instagram.com/itstracyg / twitter.com/itstracyg

035 | Envy Shaming, Muting Friends + Learning From Comparison

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 04:00:00 GMT

Keep it a buck: Ever muted a friend on IG so you could ease up on comparison?

On this episode of #ShesBeautyAndTheBeast me + Guerdley pick a part a very uncomfortable topic by pointing a finger towards ourselves – envy.

Dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn lmao

Here are 3 areas (amongst more) that we cover:

Muting friends who flex heavy on this app… why we do it and the other option many of us forget to use.
If comparison is a game of nature or nurture…
How to handle friends who may envy us…

LOTS to unpack, so let's do just that.

033 | Lalah Delia: Creating A Church In The Wild

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 18:34:43 GMT

Lalah Delia is a woman who I believe can help our soul’s potential soar.

That’s it. That’s the description.

Well nah I lied, here’s a little bit more lmao.

As you might know, Lalah is a leader in this modern day spirituality space and in this episode of #shesbeautyandthebeast we bounce around subjects like:

The difference between fear and danger…
How a set of handcuffs led to Lalah’s freedom and vibrating higher daily…
What both the soul and the ego think of her success…

Our convo feels like the type of hug that cures a long day. If after listening you agree, follow Lalah on IG (instagram.com/lalahdelia) and tell her! Also, leave a rating/review of this podcast and share with some fellow like-vibed humans!

What me and Guerdley do and don’t understand about each other and the hilarity both provide…
What to do when Imposter Syndrome + perfectionism strikes again…

Mon, 15 Jan 2018 19:21:34 GMT

While delving into our spiritual and self-care journeys, it’s impossible not to become seduced by the beauty and the claimed healing properties of crystals. Maybe you have a co-worker or significant other who will only salute rocks if Jay Z's involved, but something tells me you feel like gems, stones and crystals carry something much deeper than the surface could ever offer.

013 | The Rob Hill Sr. Effect

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 19:31:42 GMT

So for episode 13 I'm talking to one of the most popular wordsmiths and spirit menders on the world wide web (and in real life), my pal Rob Hill Sr. He's written several books on love, healing and purpose, has done a flurry of hella effective speaking engagements and the comments section under his Instagram quotables are usually crammed with exclamation points and all-caps reactions in full agreement of what he's posted. Many people look at him as a motivation-pumping machine, but, really he's just human. A human dedicated to living within his light and not his wounds. So if you want to learn how to:- navigate murky waters in life- activate your passion- and as Rob says "edit as you grow," well then here's a suggestion...Holler at your journal, maybe a grab a glass of wine, throw a podcast party and fuck with me, cause this is a beautiful one.

011 | Why I'm Not About That Fear-Is-The-Enemy Life

Tue, 22 Nov 2016 21:24:32 GMT

I used to be the type to wave that Fuck Fear flag HIGH. Stay over there, Fear! We ain't cool, Fear! We at war, Fear! But through my meet ups with several descendants of everyone's favorite emotion--anxiety, procrastination, self-doubt etc.--I've come to the conclusion that my perception of fear is what worsened the reality of it. In this episode I speak with my wonderful friend Melissa Kimble (twitter.com/melissa_kimble), founder of #BlkCreatives (www.blkcreatives.com) about the benefits of creating a healthier relationship with Fear... even if it just graduates from enemy to frenemy lol.

Tue, 25 Oct 2016 18:01:41 GMT

It may seem like tarot card readings are having a moment now, but really this gift has been killing as a guidance system for understanding clouded thoughts for a hooooooooooot minute.

In this episode, I talk with my beautiful friend @TatiannaTarot about:

demystify some of the misconceptions surrounding tarot how to wake up our inner goddess and why that's not some corny bullshit
how to recharge when people depend on you for daily positivity
understanding how an ancient practice can upgrade a millennial's life now
getting informed on the dark side of "magic."

This is one of those hella enlightening joints. And in case you need the spelling/research, like me... King Akhenaten is his name.

003 | No Sex Zone

Tue, 11 Oct 2016 14:12:31 GMT

It's old news that I've been a fan and member of #teamcelibacy. In "Love Vs. Lust Pt. 1" from my affirmation EP I spoke a bit about my entanglements with the flesh and how that led to a Do Not Disturb sign below my belt. But now I want to go into the why, the benefits, the (obvious and non-obvious) struggles and the nuances of celibacy. To me it definitely doesn't have to look the same for everyone.So I snagged my best friend Guerdley (@guerdley)--who's vacationed in the no sex zone for a year--to have a hella candid conversation.WE GO IN ON: How celibacy helps compartmentalize feelings, lessen impulses and heighten discernment.How getting dickmatized... especially to the wrong dick, especially when you are subconsciously hoarding romantic illusions... is very distracting.How to initiate a conversation about celibacy with a lover who was never thinking about celibacy.Expiration dates. Is oral sex apart of celibacy? And hella more. I hope you enjoy and know you'll have some opinions, do share with me! (tracy@itstracyg.com)

WE GO IN ON:

Is there such a thing as too many selfies?
How to recover from a life that caters to male consumption and more.

This was one of my favorite conversations in life to date yo, Dr. Boyce is a badass.
