56 - Women for Women Wednesday - Tracey Brown "Rescue to Recovery"

I absolutely love Wednesday's and supporting other women. That's why each Wednesday I interview an inspiring woman who is a leader. This week, I bring you Tracey Brown on MaYapinion, The Leadership Podcast for Women.  I know that I say that I am always excited to have each one of my guests on the show and that's because it is true. But, Tracey was truly a special kind of guest. She has such a fascinating story starting her career in the Coast Guard. I have so much admiration for women in the military and I want to thank all of you who are serving and who have served. She shares her journey from the Coast Guard to becoming a Physio Therapist to now, published Author. Yes, you can get her book here: https://www.rescuetorecovery.com/ I hope you enjoy hearing about her life in the Coast Guard as one of the only women at the time to her journey to overcome PTSD as much as I did. Here's Tracey's bio: A United States Coast Guard Veteran, Tracey Brown wore many hats. She was a swimmer on  small boats, a firefighter when needed and an all around boat crew member to name a few of her duties while at the USCG Group San Francisco Ca. After many years of undiagnosed PTSD, Tracey was educated as a Director of Physical Rehabilitation and has been working for over twenty years to help clients get free from physical pain. For the last decade she has specialized in pain reduction via scar tissue therapy. ​ Rescue to Recovery is a Veteran's perspective of not only time serviced in the United States Coast Guard but more so, the years after and navigating the enigma of post-traumatic stress. This is a book written by a veteran and her personal challenges while coming to terms with, and understand her inability to engage in day to day activities as others did. It is a reflection of work as a physio-therapist, CG missions, trainings, and skewed understandings of post-traumatic stress. This is not just for veterans, it is for the helpers, healers, heroes and warriors of all walks. Those that feel the need to stay strong when everything feels like it is falling apart. Make sure to buy her book and listen in next week to MaYapinion! XXX Maya
