Do you need to update your why?

from Tracy Talks · host Tracy Glenn

Are you living your life based on agreements you made years ago that no longer serve you? In this episode of Tracy Talks, Tracy explores why we feel obligated to stay in situations, jobs, and relationships that drain our energy. It’s time to stop sacrificing your present happiness for a “hypothetical” future return that may never arrive. By shifting from a “sacrifice era” to a “sanctuary era,” you can reclaim your right to change your mind and prioritize your joy. Join the conversation and start leading with your “why” to create a life that actually feels good today.Episode Highlights* The Power of the “Why”: Tracy challenges listeners to evaluate whether they are acting out of genuine desire or simply fear of the unknown and the fear of losing love.* Breaking Old Agreements: A deep dive into why we stay in stagnant relationships or projects long after they’ve stopped flowing, often just to avoid being “the bad guy.”* From Sacrifice to Sanctuary: Shifting the philosophy from delayed gratification to finding immediate fulfillment and “wasting time” on fun without the weight of guilt.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.  Trauma Talks : With Russ Tellup rtellup Hi, I’m Russ Tellup, a Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach and Level 1 Brainspotting practitioner.
