About Tracy
Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Tracy Lewis and it's my pleasure to meet you and prayerfully become your coach. I am grateful and honored to have you learn who you really are through our stories and eventually to our healings. I am an ex-alcoholic, drug dealer and user, thief, bum, and ex-con. I am now none of those things with over 29 years of being clean and sober. I help those in a wide variety of issues but my top 3 are Dysfunctional Family, Parenting and Relationships. As we dig a little deeper in your story, we will find a few other issues worth sorting through. As a result of my being delivered, set free and made whole, God has mandated me to go back and help others through the maze of their life issues and bring them through. I am an author, speaker, coach and trainer and have written several books in the relationship and self-development areas. I have a non-profit organization that mentor's youth and young adult boys and I do speaking engagements and groups for broken men helping them to become whole men again. I am extremely honored and humbled to have an opportunity to help you in any way I can with your situation. I will tell you up front that I am no-nonsense and in your face type of guy and I hope you don't become offended by what we learn and I have you to do. You will receive homework in the process, and I believe you will come through my coaching a lot better that you started. I pray and hope that whoever you choose on this site you get delivered, set free, and made whole. God Bless you...
Why I coach
One day, I was listening to a guy who shared that sometimes you have to go back in your life, even back as far as childhood to find your purpose. When I got home, I asked God, what is my purpose? His response was, "Tracy, I brought you through so many traumatic issues in your life, just pick one, and we'll go from there. I started going back over my life and found several foundations that contributed to my failures in life. The first one was family and how everything I seen and heard led me to believe how life should be. The dysfunction of how alcoholism, abuse and abandonment eventually led me to the same destructive cycles and generational curses of my parents. Growing up with insecurities, low self-esteem and eventually no parents to guide, love and protect me, I was left to think and act on my own growing up. As I got older, alcohol and drugs seemed like a good place to start forgetting my past and look to a brighter future, or so I thought. Eventually it led to even more degradation and negative behaviors. I wound up on the streets doing almost anything to get my next drink and drug. God kept His hand on me thought it all and eventually got me to rehab and recovery. The second thing I found out was how my parents knew nothing about parenting through their parents. They learned their dysfunction through them and practiced everything they saw in them, passed it on to me and my brother and sister. The third thing I found was how it all affected my relationships with others. Never knowing love from my parents kept me from accepting love from anyone else in my life. After meeting God I was taught His kind of love and eventually started receiving, accepting and giving love back. After He brought me through all of that and many more traumas, I was led to go back and help others through their traumas. It is a great honor to be given the privilege to help those who are sent my way to help, and I count it all joy.
