Grow your inner strength Cover star Tracy Kimberg is an experienced counselling hypnotherapist and resilient mind coach, who helps make a difference to those who are in scary, lonely spaces of worthlessness
T
racy wants to inspire those around her, to show that even a therapist has to pay attention to their mental health and constantly train a resilient mind.
Tracy has experienced the pressures of wanting to perform perfectly in all aspects of her life. Tracy had to support her daughters financially after her divorce, so she pursued her dream of becoming a therapist. After qualifying, Tracy joined SWIB, where she found other strong women with similar stories to tell. It’s humbling to see that, no matter what your past is, it doesn’t define the end of your story. Never measure your value on how other people treat you and listen to alarm bells when they ring. If anybody feels like they’re living a lie, then you probably are, and you’re the only one who can change that.

Asking for help is the bravest, most kind thing you can do for yourself.
“My happiness comes from within now, and that makes me value the teachers from my past” Many of the tools and techniques that Tracy teaches her clients are ones she has used herself. The people who walk into the office are so broken, but when they leave, they aren’t anymore. She sees client’s lives transforming in front of her. The greatest reward for Tracy was becoming a finalist for two of our awards. Tracy feels empowered by her strength and looking back at her life, she says: “I’m an amazing woman. My happiness comes from within now, and that makes me value the teachers from my past.”
