Ten Minutes with Coach Tracy Self Love and Boundaries

It’s time for our monthly check-in with Tracy Pleschourt! During this episode, we follow up on Lesa’s self-doubt from last month and work on improving her self-doubt. Then we dive into Tracy’s boundary-setting advice. Tracy talks about the importance of understanding why you need boundaries, how they benefit individuals, and how to focus on boundaries being self-care. Head to the website today to grab a copy of the boundary-setting sheet!

In this episode:

[3:10] How to work through your thoughts on self-doubt. [10:11] How do you set up boundaries? [12:26] How is a boundary different than a request? [15:20] Sitting and thinking about things in your life that make you frustrated. [19:05] How to create a deal breaker if you don’t move forward with the boundary you are setting. [19:30] Creating consequences when boundaries aren’t managed.

Key Takeaways:

Becoming self-made means that you are constantly working on yourself. There is no finish life. You are going to continue to grow and evolve throughout life. Boundaries are not set to control other people; they are set to get the results you want for your life.

Quotes:

“Just notice the difference in how you feel when you're operating from a belief that sounds very judgmental like I can't, or I’m not worthy of attending something, I’m not worthy of getting into the pool without a care in the world. There's a whole lot of judgment wrapped up in that. That doesn't feel very good, and if it doesn't feel very good, you’re not going to show up as your best self.” - Tracy Pleschourt

“Boundaries ultimately are created for you. It is kind of an operating system for the results that you want to create for you. It isn't a manipulation tactic; it isn't an ultimatum; it isn't in an effort to control someone else. Boundaries are created so that you get results that you want from your life.” - Tracy Pleschourt

“Self-care comes in all shapes and sizes. This is a self-care to add to the toolbox, try it out; it may or may not work, but this is another great tool to take care of yourself.” - Tracy Pleschourt

About the Podcast

Doing Divorce Different A Podcast Guide to Doing Divorce Differently
Divorce, co-parenting, menopause, marriage, and starting over after 40—Doing Divorce Different is your guide to a healthy, faith filled life transition.

Hosted by Family Law Attorney and Mediator Lesa Koski, Doing Divorce Different is a candid, empowering podcast designed to take the fear out of divorce and guide you toward peace—whether you’re navigating a split, working to stay married, or rebuilding a better life after a major transition. Each week, Lesa brings heart-centered legal insight, emotional support, and holistic wisdom to help you heal, grow, and thrive.

We cover everything from amicable divorce and co-parenting strategies to parenting plans that actually work and support kids in thriving through change. You’ll learn how to prepare for marriage with prenups, revisit your relationship with post-nuptial agreements, and understand what it really takes to stay married or rekindle love after a rough season. If you're in the midst of a grey divorce, wondering how to not get divorced, or questioning whether love can be found again, this show is for you.

Lesa also explores the emotional and physical changes that often accompany midlife and major life shifts. From navigating the impact of menopause on your health, marriage, and mood, to dealing with the loneliness that can come after divorce or empty nesting, you’ll find honest conversations that don’t shy away from real-life challenges. And for those of you in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, you’ll discover what it means to truly build a better life after 40.

Health and wellness are deeply integrated into this journey. Lesa shares insights on the benefits of rest, joy, nutrition, fasting, protein, and bone health, along with the power of movement, community, and exercise to support mental clarity and physical strength. You’ll learn how to take care of yourself with intention—because healing isn’t just emotional, it’s also biological.

Mindset work and self-coaching are recurring tools offered in episodes to help you reframe your story and shift from fear to freedom. And through it all, the show honors the role of faith, spiritual surrender, and letting God lead you through every season. Whether you're leaning into your relationship with God for the first time or deepening a lifelong practice, you’ll hear how surrender can bring peace even in the hardest moments.

You’ll hear real stories from people who have done divorce differently, saved their marriages, or found new love and purpose on the other side. Lesa also brings in conversations about marriages that have stood the test of time, co-parenting through complex seasons, and the realities of parenting after separation while maintaining stability for your kids.

This is not just a podcast about divorce. Doing Divorce Different is about taking back your life, rewriting your future, and trusting that you’re not starting over, you’re starting better. If you’re craving practical advice, soul-level encouragement, and real conversations about creating a healthy, joyful, purpose-driven life, you’ve found your community.
