Dr Tracy - my heart is unbroken
I found Dr Tracey when I was going through a tough time in my marriage. I have never felt so seen by someone. It’s like every pod was talking directly to me. I went on to buy her first book and found myself nodding along to almost everything. I love the hints and tips she shares and love the insight episodes with Greg. My marriage is now on an upwards trajectory and I am under no illusion that this is down to my inner healing via Dr Tracy. Thank you 💓

So relatable
I have been loving Dr. Tracy. I just listened to “stop sidestepping conflict.” Holy moly-this is exactly what I needed to hear. And when you say you are exactly where you need to be, it’s so accurate. I was Just looking at question cards for relationships. To get a deeper connection back with my husband. We have been together for 21 years & our kids are older now, where we find ourselves “dating again.” This episode is great to hear Dr. Tracy & her husband talk about this topic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Intuition, Embodiment, and Learning to Trust Yourself

Q: I'm curious if you're noticing that with women. I think the other maybe piece to that was really the questioning of why this book is so needed now in this world that we live in today.

Ellen says phones take attention away from presence and embodiment, while algorithmic feeds can exploit fear and controversy and leave people more disconnected and polarized. She adds that women have more platforms and resources to speak openly, and argues embodied, nature-connected wisdom is needed in an out-of-balance society.

Intuition, Embodiment, and Learning to Trust Yourself

Q: If someone is unsure of what we're talking about or what maybe they have even experienced, where would be the first place you would want them to reflect on?

Ellen explains that Season of the Witch offers tools for people who are curious or ambivalent about intuition and spirituality, encouraging them to question whether their skepticism is truly their own and to explore their experiences with integrity.

ICYMI: Navigating Mother-in-Law Tension: Passive Aggression, Boundaries, Power Dynamics, and Repair

Q: If people listening could focus on setting one boundary or doing one thing to get on the same team for this holiday, what do you think would be the one that's going to give them the biggest payoff?

Janelle suggests couples discuss predictable family tensions in advance, agree on how to respond, and use a code word to reconnect, make an excuse to step away, or leave together.

ICYMI: Navigating Mother-in-Law Tension: Passive Aggression, Boundaries, Power Dynamics, and Repair

Q: What's daughter-in-law math? Where did that come from? What were you trying to do with that reel?

Janelle describes the trend as showing the gap between how a situation is perceived and what is happening in the other person's reality. Her example highlights daughters-in-law being blamed for their husbands' choices despite encouraging family contact.

How to Rebuild Trust With In-Laws After a Family Conflict

Q: Hi Dr. Tracy and Greg, my husband and I are trying to decide what to do about the holidays with his parents. We have two children aged six and three. Our in-laws stay with us for four or five nights and last time there was a significant conflict involving our six-year-old. What should we do this holiday season to protect our relationship and our kids?

The suggested approach centers on making a clear, future-focused plan that protects the couple's parenting decisions and creates space when needed, such as hosting the in-laws in a nearby hotel while still sharing meals and activities. The key is to communicate boundaries as ways to build a better long-term dynamic, not as punishment, and to rebuild trust through positive, shared experiences rather than relitigating past events.
