Healing Childhood Divorce

Today we are joined by the Founder of Self-Made U, Tracy Pleschourt. Tracy is a life coach who helps men and women create Self-Made wealth and wellness. Tracy is also a child of divorce, a fact that defined her self worth for years. Tune in to learn how Tracy became a watcher of her thoughts, overcame her negative root beliefs, and why divorce is no longer a part of her identity.

In this episode:

  • [02:07] Being a child of divorce does not have to be a part of your identity.
  • [05:16] Tracy shares how her parent’s divorce impacted her childhood and self worth.
  • [10:15] How our root beliefs affect almost every circumstance in our everyday lives.
  • [14:29] How can we unlearn our negative root beliefs?
  • [15:00] What is the difference between a primitive brain in action and a prodigy brain in action?
  • [20:29] One thing you can do right away to add value to your life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Now in 2022, there are so many communities, support systems, and resources for families going through divorce.
  • We all have a part of our brain that is very primitive.  It’s very reactive because it’s meant to keep us safe.  We also have a more evolved section of our brain called the prodigy section.  It actively analyzes data to help us make decisions and ask questions.
  • Identifying your negative root beliefs is the first step to unlearning them.

Quotes:

“Our brains will jump onto that dramatic bandwagon, if we are only making our decisions or creating beliefs from drama, it’s just going to perpetuate like a snowball rolling down a hill.” Tracy Pleschourt

“You are a watcher of your thoughts.” Tracy Pleschourt
