Yeah. 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.599 Where did they grow up? Did you grow up in Florida? 00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:10.129 Tell us a little bit about your history. I'm 00:02:10.129 --> 00:02:12.729 an Indiana girl. I came straight down from Indiana 00:02:12.729 --> 00:02:15.930 after college. I grew up in a small town in Indiana 00:02:15.930 --> 00:02:18.750 and went to college at Indiana University in 00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:22.389 Bloomington. And after getting a degree in elementary 00:02:22.389 --> 00:02:25.629 education and a minor in English and another 00:02:25.629 --> 00:02:29.150 minor in radio and TV, I ended up moving down 00:02:29.150 --> 00:02:32.210 to Florida, met my ex. Now just I call him the 00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:34.189 father of my kids because he's my ex -husband, 00:02:34.189 --> 00:02:36.449 but I figured that's more positive. The father 00:02:36.449 --> 00:02:40.879 of my kids. And I met him. Working at his restaurant 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.620 because I that was my dream after college Was 00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:46.479 waitressing tables because I thought it looked 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.340 like so much fun So anyway, that's how I met 00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:52.439 him and we got married nine months after we met 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.560 and had four kids in six years and had a 17 year 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.219 marriage 19 years on paper and then by that time 00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:03.259 we'd moved to the Republic of Panama and We got 00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:05.680 divorced there, but that's where my my parents 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.360 lived at the time and I'm the oldest of six kids 00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:13.479 the three youngest live there. Wow, how exciting. 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.759 I live in another country. Panama that kind of 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.699 sticks with you or something you took away from 00:03:20.699 --> 00:03:23.520 that experience? Well, we decided to take the 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.539 kids there because it was an international way 00:03:25.539 --> 00:03:28.060 of life. We wanted the kids to get a second language. 00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:31.900 And so when my husband came home and said, you 00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:34.400 know, that he wanted to move, I was like, well, 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.020 it seems like a no brainer. We have family in 00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:38.460 Panama already. So we ended up taking the kids 00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:41.479 there. And I loved it. I did love life there. 00:03:41.539 --> 00:03:44.080 But it became obvious to me after a few years 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.919 there that I wasn't going to find the man. of 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.659 my dreams or the man that was going to take me 00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:54.180 seriously enough to marry as a gringa in Panama. 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.500 So I ended up coming back after 10 years there. 00:03:56.939 --> 00:04:01.129 Okay. All right wow well and as I understand 00:04:01.129 --> 00:04:03.250 it from hearing a little bit of your story before 00:04:03.250 --> 00:04:06.189 you've had quite a few moves and like even in 00:04:06.189 --> 00:04:08.729 your 50s it seems like that you've moved to a 00:04:08.729 --> 00:04:11.469 few different places. Well when I came back from 00:04:11.469 --> 00:04:14.189 Panama I went I was like well I've been to Naples 00:04:14.189 --> 00:04:15.969 so I don't want to go back to Naples again so 00:04:15.969 --> 00:04:19.310 I went to the other side of Florida and so my 00:04:19.310 --> 00:04:22.529 exercise my father of my kids, came back and 00:04:22.529 --> 00:04:26.310 met his wife, now wife, at church, our church. 00:04:26.829 --> 00:04:29.949 And I went to five years in South Beach, two 00:04:29.949 --> 00:04:32.810 years in Coral Gables, where I got my driver's 00:04:32.810 --> 00:04:34.670 license before I moved to Coral Gables. So that's 00:04:34.670 --> 00:04:37.470 when I felt like I grew up, because I got a car 00:04:37.470 --> 00:04:39.970 when I moved there. And when I lived in South 00:04:39.970 --> 00:04:41.850 Beach, I just rode a bicycle around with two 00:04:41.850 --> 00:04:45.519 baskets. you know, worked out of my home for 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.759 the American Chiropractor magazine. And then 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.480 when I moved to Coral Gables, I started doing 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.860 the real estate. And after two years there, I 00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:58.160 moved to Boca Boca East, which is what I lived 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.720 in Meisner Park, which is just beautiful. And 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.879 then I moved to Boca West for about five months. 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.560 And then I moved to Palm Beach and I was only 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.160 there a couple of months and then decided, what 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.480 am I doing over here? It's a lot like Naples. 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.839 I'm going back to my kids. So that's what happened. 00:05:14.250 --> 00:05:17.949 Now, what was key for you as you move to these 00:05:17.949 --> 00:05:20.569 different towns, like kind of creating a new 00:05:20.569 --> 00:05:23.490 life as you move to these different places? What 00:05:23.490 --> 00:05:26.709 would you say was key? You mean that why did 00:05:26.709 --> 00:05:29.009 I want to keep moving? Well, just kind of like 00:05:29.009 --> 00:05:31.250 every time you move somewhere, you have to like, 00:05:31.329 --> 00:05:33.910 there's new friends, new, you know, you create 00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:36.529 a new life in that space, you know, in that town. 00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:40.350 How was your experience in doing that, creating 00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:43.389 a new space for yourself? My father always said 00:05:43.389 --> 00:05:45.750 change is growth, and I really believe that change 00:05:45.750 --> 00:05:51.300 is growth. Now that I'm back in Naples again, 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.160 where I started, I'm grateful that I had that 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.939 time, that I had that time to travel around and 00:05:57.939 --> 00:06:00.899 see different parts of Florida and know exactly 00:06:00.899 --> 00:06:05.060 why I want to be back here in Naples. And I really 00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:09.040 enjoyed every moment that I spent in Panama and 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.160 in all over Florida. I'm an adventurer. It was 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.360 an adventurous trip, but and I'm grateful for 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.720 all the friendships that I made and I still have, 00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:20.850 but I'm really happy. me back where I came from. 00:06:21.750 --> 00:06:24.730 Awesome. Now it's so exciting, your podcast that 00:06:24.730 --> 00:06:27.910 you do, The Being Tracy Show. Tell us some more 00:06:27.910 --> 00:06:30.509 about that. What do you want listeners to take 00:06:30.509 --> 00:06:34.209 away from your show? Well, what drove me really 00:06:34.209 --> 00:06:36.500 is that I want people to understand that they 00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:39.680 need to have a calling to inspire themselves, 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.180 to believe in themselves again, and that we've 00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:45.480 all got a story. We've all been through trials 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:49.100 and tribulations that make us the wonderful pieces 00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:53.480 that we are today. And so I love to hear people 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.680 go through their stories and pick out the little 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.500 nuggets of wisdom that we can all gain from those 00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:03.519 stories to become better individuals ourselves. 00:07:03.930 --> 00:07:08.290 Yeah, awesome. What challenges or adversities 00:07:08.290 --> 00:07:11.269 have you faced in your life that's kind of shaped 00:07:11.269 --> 00:07:15.470 the woman that you are today? Well, very young, 00:07:15.709 --> 00:07:18.689 at the age of 20, I had a car accident where 00:07:18.689 --> 00:07:20.750 I was driving to it. I worked for the National 00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:22.550 Cheerleaders Association. I don't know if you 00:07:22.550 --> 00:07:24.069 ever worked, was a cheerleader, you were ever 00:07:24.069 --> 00:07:27.250 a cheerleader. I was not. Big association, National 00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:29.689 Cheerleaders. My mom used to work for them when 00:07:29.689 --> 00:07:31.910 she was young and she worked for a man named 00:07:31.910 --> 00:07:34.569 Herkey, which there's a Herkey job, the Herkimer. 00:07:35.329 --> 00:07:38.970 And Lawrence Herkimer was her boss. And anyway, 00:07:39.129 --> 00:07:41.170 I worked for that camp and I was driving to one 00:07:41.170 --> 00:07:42.970 of the camps in Tennessee because they were all 00:07:42.970 --> 00:07:45.629 over different states. And my car overturned 00:07:45.629 --> 00:07:47.910 three times and threw me back into the road 75 00:07:47.910 --> 00:07:52.189 feet. Oh, wow. I don't remember. I don't remember 00:07:52.189 --> 00:07:55.089 that. But it was I was airlifted to the hospital 00:07:55.089 --> 00:07:57.970 and I was in it for five days. And when I woke 00:07:57.970 --> 00:07:59.850 up, I couldn't move the right side of my body. 00:07:59.850 --> 00:08:04.110 And I didn't know who my parents were. So I had 00:08:04.110 --> 00:08:07.709 a time there where I had to regain my strength 00:08:07.709 --> 00:08:13.569 back, regain my mentality back. And the way that 00:08:13.569 --> 00:08:17.350 I did that was my father was a chiropractor. 00:08:18.149 --> 00:08:23.709 He passed in 2023, but he founded the most famous, 00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:26.350 the American Chiropractor Magazine, which we 00:08:26.350 --> 00:08:29.449 mailed to 40 ,000 chiropractors, each issue 13 00:08:29.449 --> 00:08:33.960 issues a year now. that teaching, he knew what, 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.519 what I needed was to get back to doing what I'd 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.240 always done, which is I was an athlete, I was 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.679 a swimmer. So he threw me back into the pool, 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:44.620 but I couldn't use the right side of my body. 00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:46.960 So that was like a little bit of the first time 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.080 after me. But soon enough, the, the muscle mentality 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.200 came back, the remembrance of what my body used 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.120 to do came back and I was swimming laps. And 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:04.080 that's how, when my My parents did a word association 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.200 test with me and they said life and I said school. 00:09:08.419 --> 00:09:12.179 I wanted to go back to school, Indiana. So I 00:09:12.179 --> 00:09:16.120 got back to school a week late, which had. living 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.220 in a place that they called the Virgin Vault 00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:20.580 in the top floor of Forest Dorm, because they'd 00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:24.139 already given my room away. But, you know, so 00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:27.080 that just started me back again. And, you know, 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.419 that was a little bit of a challenge. But other 00:09:29.419 --> 00:09:34.519 than that, in Florida, I did run across some 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:36.360 challenges when I lived on my own over there 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.919 on the other side of Florida. And those were 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:45.590 what, I guess, strive, gave me the desire to 00:09:45.590 --> 00:09:50.250 keep moving forward and not look backward. At 00:09:50.250 --> 00:09:53.029 any point, did you ever feel like you were just? 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.440 Stuck or you didn't know what to do or I just 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:02.419 want to quit Yeah, and so that's another that's 00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:07.220 another cause for my story for my podcast is 00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:10.019 for people not to know that they have a place 00:10:10.019 --> 00:10:13.799 where they can feel seen and heard and not judged 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.220 because because I went through that in my travels 00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:23.169 and and it's very scary and hard to be out there 00:10:23.169 --> 00:10:25.549 alone. And when you have a wonderful family like 00:10:25.549 --> 00:10:28.110 I do here in Naples, I was like, what am I still 00:10:28.110 --> 00:10:30.610 doing over here by myself? You know, and for 00:10:30.610 --> 00:10:32.889 people that don't have family, I would say reach 00:10:32.889 --> 00:10:36.149 out to your friend family, because most of us 00:10:36.149 --> 00:10:38.190 have a friend family. If you've been a good friend, 00:10:38.190 --> 00:10:41.129 you have friends. So that's kind of the people 00:10:41.129 --> 00:10:43.750 that I try to associate myself with during that 00:10:43.750 --> 00:10:47.230 difficult time to keep myself moving forward 00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:50.649 and remembering, because they kept speaking. 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.000 life into me remembering what I had to offer. 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:59.580 That's so awesome. That's right. And is there 00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:02.980 any particular thing that comes to mind as far 00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:06.179 as these different mindset shifts of how you 00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:10.299 were able to turn adversity into something good? 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.799 Was there any particular thing that helped you 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.990 through that? I think it's important for people 00:11:16.990 --> 00:11:19.470 to remember that I think when I realized that 00:11:19.470 --> 00:11:22.210 the adversity wasn't happening to me, it was 00:11:22.210 --> 00:11:26.870 happening for me. And I think it was really important 00:11:26.870 --> 00:11:29.529 for me to keep asking myself, what is this? Why 00:11:29.529 --> 00:11:31.429 is this happening to me? Why does this keep happening? 00:11:31.809 --> 00:11:34.110 What am I supposed to be learning from this? 00:11:34.549 --> 00:11:38.370 What are you trying to teach me? And then finally, 00:11:38.429 --> 00:11:41.610 at the end, I was just like, OK, God, I get it. 00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:44.639 bad things kept happening to me when I lived 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.379 in Miami, like about five or six really bad things 00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:50.720 happened in the course of about six months. My 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.120 sister said, Tracy, anybody that those things 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:54.980 would have happened to would have just crumbled. 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.299 But she was really impressed and I kept going, 00:11:58.299 --> 00:12:02.159 you know? And I tell this story on my podcast 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:05.100 called The Bein' Tracy Show Podcast. It's called 00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:10.370 Why Did You Leave Miami? And so that is... You 00:12:10.370 --> 00:12:14.029 know what the idea is not to get stuck in the 00:12:14.029 --> 00:12:17.690 pain but to move from it Yeah, I love that. That's 00:12:17.690 --> 00:12:20.769 awesome I've heard it said that pain can be the 00:12:20.769 --> 00:12:24.250 touch point of growth and I can identify with 00:12:24.250 --> 00:12:27.299 that in my own life. Yeah I'm sure everybody, 00:12:27.379 --> 00:12:30.320 everybody has a story, right? That's the idea 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.200 here. Everybody has a story. My show is called 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.820 Being Tracy, but I can see what it's like to 00:12:34.820 --> 00:12:36.700 be Tracy. I can't see what it's like to be you, 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:38.679 Michelle. And that's why you were such a good, 00:12:38.779 --> 00:12:42.200 great guest on my show. Thank you. Oh, it was 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:46.379 an honor being on your show. Thank you. Put that 00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:48.399 show down in the bio so everybody can see it. 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.559 Absolutely. I will definitely put that link there 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:55.059 too. As we reach out to women, we talk to women 00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:59.480 our age every day. What is one message that you 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:03.980 hope that our friends and family hear? Well, 00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:07.000 I want everyone to know that we all have a story 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:12.559 and your story. You're not broken. You have. 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.840 The world needs you. The world needs you and 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.460 your story and. your story can help somebody 00:13:19.460 --> 00:13:24.159 else. So I also believe in not keeping things 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.600 quiet, which is sharing what you've gone through 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:30.059 and sharing the pain that you've gone through, 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.539 but also not wallowing in it. You know, I think 00:13:33.539 --> 00:13:35.399 it's really important for people to remember. 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.860 OK, there's my my sister would say to me, she'd 00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:40.879 say, it's OK, Tracy, cry, just cry, feel the 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:46.980 pain, feel the pain. But there but I have heard 00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:49.279 that said a number of times. I mean, it's important 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.860 for you to take that time to yourself, feel the 00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:54.039 pain that you're going through at that moment 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.509 and then use that pain to. boost you into something 00:13:58.509 --> 00:14:01.889 better. And sometimes we have to pray and we 00:14:01.889 --> 00:14:05.429 have to go inside ourselves and to hear what 00:14:05.429 --> 00:14:07.909 it is we're supposed to do. Like in my situation, 00:14:08.169 --> 00:14:10.350 I finally had to come to the realization that 00:14:10.350 --> 00:14:13.190 I wasn't meant to be in Miami. I thought I was. 00:14:13.669 --> 00:14:16.230 I thought, boy, I'd be so great in Miami. But 00:14:16.230 --> 00:14:18.870 when these things kept happening to push me out 00:14:18.870 --> 00:14:21.690 of Miami, I finally said, OK, God, I give up. 00:14:22.309 --> 00:14:24.840 What do you want? from me, where should I go 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.919 now? And then all the building blocks started 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.360 falling into place for me to move to Boca. And 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.860 it just happened in an instant. And when I became 00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:38.940 open to that idea, and then it just became easy. 00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:42.120 And as soon as I moved, it was just wonderful. 00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:45.120 My life started really opening up again. And 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.659 so I'm glad I've gone through all those different 00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:50.919 phases in my life. Isn't it incredible as you 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:53.039 were describing that like when we're holding 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.960 on to something like you're saying I need to 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.059 be in Miami and I've had things in my life where 00:14:57.059 --> 00:14:58.899 I've just held on to them. This is where I'm 00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:01.559 supposed to be when we take ourself through so 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.399 much pain. But then when we let go and we become 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.840 open to hear. another way, another path, how 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.879 things just kind of can fall into place, just 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.860 like you were talking about. Get rigid and think, 00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:16.340 oh no, I'm supposed to do this. I'd be so great 00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:18.659 in Miami. But then I thought, you know what, 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.700 I was in Miami Beach for five years, Coral Gables 00:15:21.700 --> 00:15:24.940 for two. And then the grand finale was that all 00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:26.860 these things just started happening to me to 00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:30.200 push me onto something better. That's right. 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.929 That's awesome. I love that. I love it. Anything 00:15:35.929 --> 00:15:39.149 that you would say if you could speak on the 00:15:39.149 --> 00:15:41.570 world stage, if we were gonna send your message 00:15:41.570 --> 00:15:44.190 to the world, is there anything different that 00:15:44.190 --> 00:15:46.090 you would say that you haven't already said? 00:15:46.330 --> 00:15:48.889 What do you think that message is? Well, I just, 00:15:49.129 --> 00:15:51.309 I want everybody to know that they are enough, 00:15:51.730 --> 00:15:56.929 that people deserve to be seen and heard. And 00:15:56.929 --> 00:16:00.710 I want everyone to feel like their story is important 00:16:00.710 --> 00:16:04.480 and that we want to hear their story. And so 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.899 I'm in the process of producing a book, my first 00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:11.740 book. Wonderful. That's great. And I'm getting 00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:14.139 on the speaking stages, too. So it's going to 00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:17.139 be a much larger stage for me here coming forward. 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.320 Thank you for you. That's wonderful. Yeah. So 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.940 you're still growing and transforming and creating 00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:29.360 that life that you want. That's amazing. I love 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.230 it. What do you do for fun? For fun, I love to, 00:16:33.289 --> 00:16:35.289 well, when I'm invited on the boat, I love to 00:16:35.289 --> 00:16:38.470 go on the boat. And I love to travel. I love 00:16:38.470 --> 00:16:41.830 to travel. And I love to just go out and walk 00:16:41.830 --> 00:16:45.029 by myself a lot of times. I just go out and walk. 00:16:45.309 --> 00:16:47.649 And I don't even like to listen to music. I like 00:16:47.649 --> 00:16:49.629 to walk along the beach and listen to the waves 00:16:49.629 --> 00:16:55.370 and just meditate and talk to God and find out 00:16:55.370 --> 00:16:58.409 what my next step should be. That's kind of what 00:16:58.409 --> 00:17:01.149 I love to do. We're so blessed that we're both 00:17:01.149 --> 00:17:04.150 in southwest Florida and it's just a paradise 00:17:04.150 --> 00:17:08.869 here. I love it. It is, yes.
