Tracy is a vibrant presence, who speaks from the heart and has strong, powerful messages that create positive change. She educated us on how to help others who have fallen victim to scams and how to support and check in on those who may be more vulnerable.
Rachel Pullicino
Head of Brand, Jack Daniels
Tracy spoke to a group of our female clients about her experience as a victim of intimate fraud. She vulnerably shared the strategies she has used to overcome the shame surrounding her loss and created an environment where those present felt empowered to share their own stories around money, relationships, and loss. She is a wonderful example of the rich life that can be created after a time of incredible adversity. Her story was both powerful and uplifting for those in attendance. I have no hesitation in recommending Tracy as a speaker to others.
