This
episode is an oldie but a goodie. In fact, it is one of my best chats of alltime, and a most listened to episode. And I am bringing it back to you in perfecttiming friends, because (drum roll…………) we are going to record again in a fewshort weeks! Stay tuned for the amazing update.Before
I bring you the newest version of the CEO of Self-Love herself, you have tolisten to this incredibly raw and inspiring chat we had in 2020.In
this episode, Tracey and I dive deep into her “why” behind the popular@fitnessgirl_za journey. In late 2016, after struggling to recover from acommon cold, Tracey-Lee realised that she needed to change her way of life. Herdoctor informed her that if she did not lose the weight now and commit to ahealthy and active lifestyle, that she would develop diabetes and othercatastrophic health concerns. Tracey-Lee realised that her way of life then hadled her to gain more than 50KGs in the preceding two years and, as such, shechose to make some serious changes. She embarked on a mission to prove to herselfthat she could achieve anything she put her mind to.To
remain accountable, Tracey-Lee made the brave and vulnerable decision to shareher honest journey on Instagram and created her account @fitnessgirl_za.Initially her intention was for the account to be her commitment device and toact as a visual diary of her own progress and achieved goals. With dedicationand commitment and lots of hard work, she endlessly sought the happiness thatshe believed would undoubtedly be found in her “goal weight”. However,@fitnessgirl_za eventually turned into so much more; it became a testimony ofrealising her innate worthiness, regardless of her size or weight. Thathappiness, she realised, was always there irrespective of her weight.Tracey-Lee
is the full package. Not only is she a fitness motivator and body positiveadvocate/influencer, but she is also a full-time family law attorney. To thisday, she holds the eyes of nearly 40,000 women from around the world, allshapes, sizes and nationalities, who are inspired by her truth, humility andvery public internal shift from goals to gratitude.In
this episode we unpack how Tracey-Lee’s purpose and intentions for her brandshifted from aesthetic weight conscious goals to self-love and body positivegoals; all while sharing her mental health shift publicly and withvulnerability over the last 4 years. We discuss why she is a mental healthwarrior, her tips for how she handles her anxiety, how she juggles the balancebetween her legal career and her personal brand, and so much more. Mostimportantly, we address how “healthy” is the new skinny and worthiness is aCHOICE made within.It
