Description:

I've literally known Tracey Ferrin since she was a baby - easy since she's my niece. I can tell you she does what she does because from day one she's been a spitfire. The youngest daughter of four, she was running the show well before starting kindergarten. 

As a woman, she's exercised those skills which have helped her navigate her life and that of her family's. In this conversation she breaks down the lessons she has learned since being a pregnant, single mom facing a rare form of cancer at the ripe young age of 18. As she tells it, life didn't stop there.

  • Going all in, that has changed everything. (06:11)
  • I love it because you don't realize all the little things that lead you up to where you're at. (09:39)
  • Wait a minute - I'm purpose. So, whatever I choose to do, I'll bring purpose to it.  (13:05)
  • Cancer was just my ultimate struggle. I have been through some other stuff that other people aren't aware of because of who I am today. But it's because of those things that I've been through, that I am who I am today. (15:11)
  • There are three types of struggles: (16:01)
  • You're not meant to struggle alone, so who are you leaning on to help you get through it? (17:35)
  • We do have to prime ourselves. The way I feel like we can prime ourselves is we have to push ego and pride aside. (18:53)
  • Use what you went through to help others get through. (20:14)
  • Struggle + reflection = lesson (20:52)
  • Struggles can equal happiness, if we choose. But again, it is a choice for us to choose. (21:32)
  • I visualize myself in a dark tunnel...if I just keep moving, eventually, the light will come through. (24:20)
  • I  heard someone once say, "Excuses are pretty little lies that temporarily make us feel better. (26:43)
