So often we say, “yeah, but that’s the trade-off” like it’s BAD thing. Almost as if we’re not good enough to do ALL of the things, so we “drop the ball’ in advance. But what if the opposite were true? What if we could embrace tradeoffs in our life and our work as a strategy to move us forward in our goals AND to help us experience the kind of life we want to live day to day and hour by hour? Let’s look at a tool that can help us identify potential trade-offs we can declare and own, all in the...

What if what you are doing in each moment is EXACTLY what you need to be doing? As we strive to become the best and juiciest versions of ourselves, we often convince ourselves that there’s always something different or better or MORE we ‘should’ be doing. Or different ways we should be BEING. Today we’re exploring a question that can help you release resistance to the incredible human you are being in each present moment.

Sometimes, to get out of a thought-rut and give ourselves access to answers that feel hidden and inaccessible, we simply need to ask ourselves different questions. Better questions, more valuable and expansive questions. Today we’re having a little fun with Wisdom of the Oracle Cards and asking new questions about our circumstances from a whole new perspective.

When you just finished 4 ‘urgent’ things in a row and thought you had some ‘free’ time to do work that actually matters to you and…BOOM - you have 7 emails that need ‘immediate’ attention.

Today we’re learning from the book, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman on WHY we need to STOP clearing the decks and START...

What if believing in yourself was no longer subject to needing validation from other people and situations? What if you could experience belief in yourself that comes solely from within? Believing in yourself isn’t a product of your achievements and successes. Believing in yourself is simply a decision. Listen in to find out how.

This is a special, very personal update. I’m sharing some very recent developments in my life and the 3 biggest TRUTHS I’ve had reinforced over the last 6 days. 

When you’re going through change in your life, - whether you’re growing in one area, leveling up your life or completely transforming upleveling, it usually does NOT FEEL GOOD. It kinda feels like you’ve climbed up a very tall tree, stepped on onto one of the skinniest branches and shimmied your way all the way to the edge and you’re like - OK NOW WHAT??? Who is coming to get me down??? And the answer is…no one. You have to sit in discomfort. And figure it out. Let’s talk about how!

Our third installment of The Time Scarcity Paradox is all about consequences. Specifically, the consequences that come up as you start expanding your self-concept by stepping into your self-worth and setting, communicating, and holding new boundaries. 

This week is all about boundaries, one of the 3 framework pillars in going from Time Scarcity to Time Abundance. Learn the 6 steps to setting a boundary and the #1 reason you are NOT setting (or holding!) boundaries in your life.

You’re on back-to-back meetings all day and your to-do list is a mile long. You have NO idea how you’ll get it all done, even if you worked around the clock. You can feel the time ticking away, slipping through your fingers as you work feverishly to get everything done. Time feels SCARCE and you’re afraid that it will always be this way. Join me today as we start to unravel your unhealthy relationship with time and learn the 3 REAL reasons that you’re experiencing time scarcity. (and what to...

This week I’m sharing a transformation I’m going through, how my brain is trying to trick me and how taking baby steps can be MORE powerful than jumping in head first.

In this episode, we’re looking at how the overturn of Roe v Wade is about so much more than abortion. I’ll be walking you through 4 Supreme Court rulings from the 1960’s through 2015 that are now extremely vulnerable to being overturned based on the logic and law the Supreme Court applied in overturning Roe. This is about privacy and freedom. About access to contraception, being able to love who you want to love and marry who you want to marry. I want us all to know the facts and understand...

Today I’m talking about a new concept I created related to the 12 Houses of Self Leadership, specifically the 12th House - I Surrender. This is the place you go to lick your real and metaphorical wounds. To cradle yourself in warm blankets, release the pressure valve and heal, rest, review and release. But sometimes, we cross into the unhelpful side of the 12th house where we can isolate ourselves, get lost and create our own undoing. Join the conversation to learn more about how you can...

Have you ever stopped and thought about all the rules you live your life by? When did you, or DID YOU EVER choose to follow these rules deliberately and intentionally? Probably not. Let’s talk about WHY we follow rules, how to identify the rules that might be holding you back so you can decide what you’re going to do about it! (next round of the Immersive Adventure Mastermind is OPEN and starts the week of July 18th! Head on over to www.tracyoswald.com for details and to schedule a call.

We’re taking last week’s episode on pleasure vs. power and we’re digging into a few advanced self-coaching tools that will help you close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.(so you can access more pleasure, happiness, ease, creativity and joy!)  You’ll learn how to use these tools for your personal and professional growth and to sit in the discomfort that will come whenever you try something new.

When was the last time you put PLEASURE, or FUN, or PLAY on your calendar FIRST, then scheduled your other stuff around it and actually STUCK to the schedule? Are you able to take a day off to goof off and have an amazing adventure with your own damn self and not obsess and check your emails every 15 minutes? If not, this is the episode for you.

We put a desire or want out into the world and then we stand in active disbelief that we will ever have it. And this is the EXACT thing that’s standing in the way of getting the thing that you really want - YOUR RESISTANCE to it. Today we’re talking about vibrational energy, quantum physics, and how you can actually release and soften the resistance you have to your desires so that you can allow them in.

We are either thinking about the past (what happened yesterday, last week, 5 years ago) or thinking about what’s GOING to happen in the future (later today in that meeting, at dinner tomorrow night, or on the vacation you have planned for August) and so RARELY are we actually fully present to what’s happening right in front of us. Today I’m teaching a simple activity to become more present in your everyday life and WHY it’s CRITICALLY important. For more information on the Immersive Adventure...

We are SOOOO good at getting it done! For high-achieving women, to-do lists can serve a powerful purpose. But they can also allow us to give our lizard brains the perfect place to vomit every random thought and task in a way that makes them seem incredibly important and urgent! This week I’m sharing my recent experience with the allure of my ‘to-do’ list, how I caught it in time (mostly) and tips for you to be aware of how you over-do your to-dos. For more information on the Immersive...

I want to introduce you to an advanced concept I teach inside the Immersive Adventure Mastermind, about Decision Making. So many women come to me and have a lot of drama around making the best, right decision for themselves, and spend so much time in ‘deciding about the decision’! I’m going to introduce you to a mind-blowing concept that will crack open possibilities about the decisions you make.

You know that thing you have really wanted to do or create or become for so long now that it weighs heavy on your heart? And you can’t seem to make progress despite having so much passion for it? Today we’re talking about the 6 reasons you’re not taking action on it and what you can do to actually begin.

Working harder and longer is NOT producing the results and breakthroughs you wanted. It’s only producing more of the same. Let’s talk about WHY that is, what you can do about it, and how you can feel on the other side of the very real threshold you are facing right now.

The third pillar of Agency inside The Art of reINvention is Emotional Agency. We’ve been programmed, especially as women and people who identify as women, to not SHOW our feelings, so much so that we have learned to not even FEEL them. And this limits our growth and keeps us small, playing inside the preordained boxes that society has created for us. I want to offer a way out of that box, an entry point to your own reINvention, and feeling your feelings is a critical component.
