Tracy Duhs - Modern Wellness Advocate, Hydration Expert, Experience Maker & Community Builder

 That is the most badass way I've ever heard anyone talk about water in my life.
 The quality of water you drink is going to make a significant difference in how much you need.
 And I remember being so fearful when I turned 30, I was like, oh my gosh, I do all these different things, like what am I really good at?
 But now I look at it and I'm like they were all meant for purpose.
 I just want to live my life and then authentically share it and allow divine, allow God to bring in the people that are aligned with my message.
 Hydrates you, there's no alcohol in any of the recipes.
 Damn it. I didn't hear of Crown and Ginger El or Margarita anywhere in that. And I'm like, damn it.
 You know, I always add your own alcohol to my drink, but I don't suggest it.
 You're listening to the Radcast. If it's radical, we cover it.
 Here's your host, Ryan.
 Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast.
 We're talking water today, talking H2O, talking the Queen of Elixirs.
 Talking Tracy, what's up, Tracy?
 What's up, Ryan?
 Hey, you know, I know you told me three episodes.
 Well, as soon as you said, Queen of Elixirs, I, that was stuck.
 What's happening?
 Hey, just hanging out here in San Diego, enjoying a hydro shot over here.
 It's a blessing.
 Yes, lovely San Diego.
 Living the good life, I'm jealous.
 I like to be in San Diego, like on the beach, you know?
 Yeah, it's pretty much heaven here.
 I can't help complaints.
 No complaints. Well, I've enjoyed getting to know you from afar.
 Being a lovely world of social media and your website and everything like that.
 We won't throw titles around, but we've been looking for more, I don't know.
 Modern, modern health advocates.
 And a team's like, you need to trick out Tracy.
 I'm like, okay, I saw you went on Bradley's podcast, Brad's a buddy.
 I'm like, all right, I like this chick.
 I'm like, you know, super successful.
 She's drinking lots of water.
 She's preaching, I don't know, from the Bible, playbook of modern health.
 I'm like, let's, let's talk to Tracy.
 So I'm just excited to have you on.
 I do want to talk, you know, your business journey.
 I know you've been successful in a lot of ways.
 You got some books and a newer book hydrate coming out.
 Is that right?
 Yes, yes.
 So I want to get there.
 I'm going to ask you the first question.
 And again, they can go, anybody listening to go follow Tracy or get all that.
 But what is it about water?
 So what's, give me the, you know, we'll just start down the path before we go down the complete business journey.
 Why did, why water?
 Great question, Ryan, because a lot of people have it.
 First of all, we're made of 98.9% water molecules.
 So when I found that out, I realized, gosh,
 if most of our bodies made of water, then wouldn't this be something that we could look deeper into to understand a little bit more about ourselves and our health.
 And once I started studying water and realizing that it's not just molecules put together of hydrogen and oxygen, it's so much more.
 Water holds memory, holds information.
 When you have structured water, it, it forms into these hexagonal like sheets that are holding information more information than even the silica cells in your cell phone or your computer.
 Water is transmitting and receiving information all of the time.
 And it's something that is being imprinted, the body of water that we are is being imprinted by the thoughts we're thinking, the words we're saying, the environment we're in, the food we're eating, it's all being impacted.
 And so once we start to look at this deeper, it becomes so exciting and magical.
 And I really think that if we really pay attention and have a reverence for the body of water that we are, we can upgrade our health in a really positive way.
 And so I just love giving people the good news that health doesn't need to be difficult. It doesn't need to be expensive.
 It's a lot of the hidden secrets are in the body of water that you are and learning how to upgrade that information is where we get to start.
 That is the most badass way I've ever heard anyone talk about water in my life. I'm like, I was like, you know, I was like entranced. I was like, wow, I am a body of water.
 And I mean, I joke a little bit, but I'm actually I'm that serious. I'm like, man, that's cool. Like I never thought about the way it's true. We know that, you know, 98%.
 We hear that, we read that, but I don't know if it really sticks, you know, I'm not sure we absorb what that means.
 No, and most of the time you'll hear like the percentages in terms of mass, like, oh, you're on average about 70% water. And then, okay, that's mass.
 But then we're looking at the molecular point of our body. It's like the molecules are 98.9% water. That's huge.
 It makes you kind of think, why are you not a puddle of water on the floor? You know, it's about a show like it.
 And when we, when we die and we go back to dust, it's just like a little bit of ash because the most of what we are is water.
 So when that water dissipates, there's really nothing left of us. And it's, it's just so interesting.
 So the reason why we're not a puddle of water on the floor is because the water body of water that we are is structured, it's crystalline structure.
 Our cells are constantly structuring the water into H302 molecules instead of H20. So when you drink H20, your cells are working hard to convert that to H302.
 Kind of like a, like a honeycomb, the, the water is being structured into these hexagonal structures and then they're in little sheets.
 And this is structured water. And our body creates that. So since you are structured water, you're not a puddle of water on the floor.
 Man, I think you're too smart for me, Tracey, but I did get all of that. The last random question before I really want our audience to know some of your business journey, some of the amazing, the juicy stuff.
 Yeah, before you get to the juicy, before we get to the juicy stuff.
 Okay, how much water should we drink a day?
 Is it eight glasses or is it the gallon that I try to drink?
 It's different for everybody. Like I'm one of those people that goes to hot yoga. So I'm sweating a lot every day.
 I'm very active. I'm doing breath work, which is constantly like this respiration and we need to get more water when we're doing that.
 So it depends on your lifestyle. It depends on your metabolism, the microbiome of your gut, because your microbiome is going to impact how much of the water you actually absorb and gets into your cells or you're just peeing or eliminating out.
 There's so many factors.
 Just think about snowflakes. They're all different. We're all different.
 The amount of water that we need is going to be different based on the season, too, as it has a cold.
 We're constantly evaporating. The water is evaporating.
 So there isn't a hard and fast rule, but what I like to say is
 and it depends on your size, too. But for me, I like to drink at least three liters of water a day. If I don't get at least that, I feel really dehydrated.
 I'm 65. I'm 65 to 50. So I'm a big dude. So I drink a gallon.
 Well, that's good. And sometimes you can drink too much, too. So there's just so many things and it's not how much water. It's not quantity at the quality.
 The quality of water you drink is going to make a significant difference in how much you need.
 Because just like I spoke about earlier that the H2O molecules are being converted inside of our body.
 And so if you drink structured water already, your body doesn't have to work as hard to convert it.
 And our cells are making metabolic water every single day. So you make the purest deuterium depleted water within yourself.
 And that's about a liter to a liter and a half of water a day, depending on how much sunlight you're getting, how much you're moving, how healthy your mitochondria are.
 But you actually make your own water inside your sleep. Now mine is completely blown.
 So I say instead of focusing on how much water you're drinking, we want to focus on the quality of the water.
 And then also getting our mitochondria healthy so that our body can make the best water ever that is hydrating ourselves.
 We want to keep the material depleted, structured already, everything that is pure, it's everything that we need.
 So when we focus on that, which I have these nine pillars of health that I really advocate, and those nine pillars of health are what are helping with our cellular health in order for us to make more metabolic water.
 I love that and I'm glad you teed that up. Let's go down that path because I know that's a book you wrote the nine pillars of health.
 I know we could probably spend the entire time we have talking purely about that. But since you brought it up, I like to keep the flow here. What are the nine pillars of health?
 What are the nine pillars of health? Well, basically the nine pillars are the most key ones, which are your favorites.
 Which ones are your babies? Which ones can we, you know, like when I'm having a beer on a Saturday, I don't have to worry about like, wait, you know, no, or all nine, either one.
 There are things that anyone can do and it's something that we have the opportunity to do every single day.
 So I start with hydration, obviously, since we're almost all water, we want to think about the water that we are nutrition.
 What we're eating is a really big thing and it's obvious.
 Minerals, we need to make sure we're getting minerals in our diet and our food, our soil is so depleted of minerals.
 Most people are drinking filtered water, which filters out all the minerals, then the water's unstructured,
 dissonant frequencies, sending unhealthy, dissonant messages to our body.
 So we can get into that. So we need minerals.
 If you look at a crystal, what makes a crystal this structure that it is? It's made of minerals.
 And so our body needs minerals in order for us to structure the water inside of our bodies.
 So minerals are essential. There's 78 trace elements and minerals that our our body needs and many of us are missing some of those elements.
 So then we can't build new healthy cells.
 So that we've got minerals, we've got sunlight.
 A lot of people are indoors under, I call it toxic lighting, kind of like junk food lighting.
 So if you're under this, these blue lights and these LED lights and whatever lights were under.
 Yeah, we've got to get these lights out there, man.
 That's junk food lighting.
 And the new house graining lighting here.
 Exactly. Light is full spectrum light is food.
 It's nutrition for ourselves, nutrition for our mitochondria.
 And if we're not getting the full spectrum of light, then what happens is we can be depleted.
 Just like a plant needs light, we're like basically complex plants, you know, we need water and sunlight.
 Anyways, so we need full spectrum sun.
 That's an essential.
 We need to have play time.
 I always say creative play time.
 If you're not playing, you're not moving, you're not using your brain in different ways, then you're not going to thrive.
 We need connected community.
 So many people feel connected, this false sense of connection through social media platforms, the phone, whatever we have.
 But it's like the surface connection.
 We need to be looking into each other's eyes, knowing that we have support, we have community.
 We have a purpose bigger than ourselves.
 Sleep is essential.
 A lot of people are not getting sleep.
 They're deprived of sleep.
 Or the sleep that they're getting is not enough REM sleep or deep sleep.
 And so I talk about sleep movement.
 If we're not moving or, you know, like in order for your joints to be healthy, you're going to move all of them.
 Okay, you got to move your fingers, you have to move our neck, you know, every part of your body.
 So it's hydration, minerals, nutrition, movement, sunlight, grounding.
 How many of us take our shoes off during the day, connect to the earth and ground?
 So our cells in our body need to be charged, just like the cells in your cell phone.
 Need to charge your body needs to charge and what charges your cells or things like the sun and the earth.
 The earth's frequencies, the earth's magnetic charge is charging our body.
 But we must take the rubber soles off because the rubber in between our feet and the earth is preventing us from being able to receive that charge.
 So we got to take our shoes off, we get to take our shoes off, go walk in a field, go walk on the ground, go walk on the beach, even better.
 Because when you walk on the beach, you get a double dose of, or actually you're killing three birds, four birds with one stone because you're moving, you're grounding,
 you're getting sunlight usually and you're getting minerals because you're able to pull the minerals from the oceans, plasma.
 And then it's actually detoxing as well. There's an ionic exchange where the toxins are being pulled out from the bottom of your feet and you're receiving nutrition.
 So beach walks are ultimate healing in my opinion.
 I knew we needed to move to the beach. I knew it. I'm setting that up, but I'm totally screwed because I hate taking my shoes off.
 Really? Why outside? I don't mind it inside.
 Are you embarrassed of your feet Ryan? No, I'm really not. It's more like I don't, it's something. I don't know, I don't know if I'm like,
 are you one of those guys with like a weird pinky toe? No.
 I have, I've been told for a man, I have beautiful feet.
 Oh, I have it told this, but inside, I love walking on the beach barefoot. So it's not outside.
 But inside, there's something that I don't know how I have to have shoes on.
 We're learning lots about me here on the radcast today.
 You're one of those people. So I make everyone take their shoes off when they come into my house and some people just it bugs them.
 They're like, do I really have to take my shoes off?
 You're house looks pretty nice. You know, like I think it's like, is it hard services or no carpet?
 It's all raw oak. Okay.
 Or it's on a treated raw oak. We actually treat it with like coconut oil and cast
 oil and raw oils to to code it.
 Okay. So creative play time is the next one Ryan and creative play time is my favorite because how often do you get
 like a pull pass to say go play. This is for your health. This is important.
 This is what we need. You're like, yeah, okay.
 I'm going to go play because this is what I need to do today.
 So when I say play time, it's like anything that gets you out of that robotic
 mundane hamster wheel, go get something to eat, get in the car, go do this.
 Anything that gets your brain so that it's like just open space to do whatever comes to mind.
 So a lot of people are like, how do I play when I'm an adult?
 I'm like, sit at a piano and try to make up a song or go roll on the grass.
 Whatever it is, it doesn't really matter for every single person. It's different.
 For me, it's jumping on my trampoline, laughing, like going and doing cartwheels like I did when I was a kid.
 I mean, I'm horrible.
 Yeah, so and then connected community and sleep.
 Those are the nine pillars for if we're missing one of those, our health will definitely suffer.
 And we won't be thriving and our cells won't be at that optimum potential that they could be.
 And we won't be making that optimum intracellular water.
 I love that and go check out Tracy's book.
 The nine night. Is it habits or nine?
 Nine pillars of health.
 The book called hydrate with Tracy do's and it goes through the nine pillars.
 It also has my elixir magical elixir recipes.
 Yes.
 I call an elixir magical medicinal potion.
 And it's basically anything that has elevated upgraded botanicals, nutrients, minerals, things that bring you to life.
 And our
 Alchemized together into a drink that tastes yummy, makes you feel good, hydrates you.
 There's no alcohol in any of the recipes.
 Damn it.
 I didn't hear a crown of ginger ale or margarita anywhere in that.
 And I'm like, damn it.
 You can always add your own alcohol to my drinks, but I don't suggest it.
 Do you drink alcohol, Tracy?
 I don't drink alcohol.
 I mean, I won't say like I wouldn't have a sip if I'm in Italy and
 I'm not sure.
 Beautiful glass of wine.
 I'm not like, oh my gosh.
 I won't touch that.
 It's like, yeah, I'll have a sip of that.
 But it's not something that I'm opening up a bottle of wine and like drinking or going to a restaurant and ordering a drink.
 That's not my typical M.O.
 Yeah.
 That's good.
 No wonder you look so healthy.
 The...
 I don't like the question of one.
 Yeah.
 I do it.
 I do it.
 Queen of not aging.
 I know.
 Tracy, how do you get so damn successful?
 Let's tell our audience a little bit of your writing books.
 You get the health and wellness centers that have been successful.
 But maybe a little bit of that business journey for everybody.
 I would say if I had to say how I got the most successful to probably be through ignorance is bliss.
 You know, it's not really taking no for an answer.
 When I was a little girl, my dad would tell me, just dream.
 Anything's possible.
 So as I was growing up, I just thought, you know, if you just like work really hard, you can have whatever you want.
 So I just kept driving and pushing.
 And it worked.
 Definitely worked.
 It became...
 I got all the things I wanted.
 It became what I wanted to be.
 But it's interesting.
 Because I don't think like what one person's definition of success is isn't someone else's.
 So my definition of success has changed since the beginning of my life.
 When I was younger, I thought success would be if I had the money, the house, the cars, the lifestyle, the trips.
 But now my idea of success is how connected are my relationships?
 How connected am I am to myself, to divine, to God, how healthy am I?
 Am I enjoying life?
 Am I waking up in the morning with peace, with joy, with excitement?
 That's my higher definition of success now.
 Well, let me ask you a question.
 I got to ask this question.
 I love that.
 And it's true.
 But it's like chicken of the egg.
 Can that be your definition of success because you work so damn hard.
 And now and you've made money and you've gotten the things that allow you the peace of mind to maybe focus on that?
 That's a really good point.
 It does make things a lot easier living in a house that I can see the ocean and having the money to buy the healthy water that I want.
 Yes.
 I mean, obviously, we think about mass laws, law of hierarchy, right?
 We want to have that security, that safety, and I have that.
 And so that does contribute to me being able to rest and feel like I can just focus on these things.
 So yeah, they all do work together.
 I guess it's, it's like, when I was a little girl, I used to look at people that had like designer things like a woman who had maybe a Chanel bag and think, wow, she's really made it, you know.
 And now I look at that and I think, gosh, how many kids could that feed, you know, in a country where someone has no money.
 My, my daughter was telling me yesterday that I think they spent a billion dollars on rise of the resistance.
 This, this ride at Disneyland and my other daughter was like, Mama, how many like children could they be feeding in another country of starving?
 She's like, this makes me feel so selfish going on this.
 Oh, no.
 I was like, everything is all perspective, right?
 It's true.
 We're enjoying it.
 We like the ride, but you look at this perspective.
 So I don't know, I don't have the answer.
 Like it, it humbles me just to think about it because I know I don't, I don't have the answers and I don't, I don't, I don't know.
 No, it's okay.
 I like the answer.
 I just had to know because we do, we have a lot of people in the show and they talk about it.
 And a lot of people like just by the nature of it because we're trying to, you know, our audience, you know, we're trying to show them some of the traits, some of the habits, some of the things that led to success, which I'm going to continue.
 Let's you continue your story, which I'm sure we'll get there.
 Like, but I think sometimes it's like in now, the modern world, like, we do all value things differently.
 I think coming through the pandemic into two people been reflective and we all start to value a lot of what you described or a lot of people do.
 But I like to, I like to keep us a little in reality sometimes.
 I like you as a terrible right now like, no, no, you're not, you're not at all.
 I think you're actually the, especially the, the habits and the water and all that.
 I think we've, we say if it's radical, we cover, we've already like blown through like the ceiling of like the prerequisites of the episode.
 This is amazing.
 So keep telling, keep telling, I want to, I want to, I want you to keep going on your journey.
 So I grew up in a house that my dad was a missionary pastor and we definitely had very humble beginnings.
 I remember days where we'd all be on our knees, you know, praying that God would provide something for us to have dinner, you know, and it was like,
 it was a, a humble beginning, my dad worked hard, he always provided, we never went without.
 But it was also very humble and I used to think about the opportunity, one thing that my father instilled in me was like,
 anything you want to do or become you can and your, your greatest struggle is going to be figuring out what you want that to be.
 Because once you decide it, it'll be, but you just need to figure, you know, figuring it out.
 So I would look at watch TV and I would see people that had, you know, like these comedies, like these sitcoms and I would see,
 life was so fun, you know, they're laughing, having a good time.
 They had a nice house. So I just wanted to be like that.
 So I thought the way that I could be like that, I'm talking about when I was really little like five, six, I thought I had to be in Hollywood to,
 to have that kind of lifestyle. So I always thought one day I want to go to Hollywood and do that, but also I want to help people.
 So how do I do both? So I thought, well, I'm going to be actors, but I'm also going to be a doctor too.
 So when I was, I was blessed with the opportunity of getting through high school in one year and started college at 15 and a half.
 And I wouldn't say that I was the most like genius kid or anything like that, I was just very driven.
 And my first semester of college, I think I started with 21 science units had to go, I remember walking into the dean's office at 15 and saying,
 I want to do this, I want to become a doctor someday, I want to help people and I don't, I don't want to waste any time.
 Will you sign this so that I can take all these units and he's like, sure.
 And I did well, I got on the dean's list that year and I just pushed through.
 And that next summer, since my dad was a missionary, I got to go to an indigenous village in Guatemala and shadow a surgeon, just witnessed so many things, surgery, vaccinations, you name it.
 And it was really fun and it was the most eye opening experience.
 One of the things that I took home with me that I never forgot was how precious water is because those people had to walk at least five miles a day to get water.
 And the water that they were getting was actually contaminated.
 And so a lot of people were passing away, children passing away, people very sick because they were drinking contaminated water.
 And I came home and I thought there's two changes that happened inside me.
 I don't want to cut people, I want to help people, but I don't want to cut people open and give them shots that didn't resonate with my personal journey.
 Okay, I want to help people, but how else can I help them?
 And the second thing was how precious water was and to be grateful for it and that someday I want to go back and help these people so that they have access to clean drinking water.
 So I went into business after that and I was like, scrap, being a doctor.
 And I had this opportunity when I was 17 to get into venture capital and then eventually investment banking and at that time I started a modeling agency because I thought back to the Hollywood thing.
 And so I just started doing business and it was so much fun because I think really being successful is being able to just connect with people and have fun with people and create community and show up and have a vision.
 And those kind of things, if you just keep showing up every day and you're faithful and you're fun and you're kind and you're honest, you're going to go somewhere.
 So and just do the things that light you up, they get you excited.
 We've all been given gifts that are unique to us and it's not an accident.
 So the things that make you smile or light you up, chances are you're really good at that.
 So I just kind of like kept, kept honing in on the things that I was good at and the things that I liked.
 And I mean, it took me in different areas. I got into real estate. I married a guy who was real estate mogul. He does strip center shopping centers and we go into little cities and do nice gentrification, change things up.
 And he has this amazing formula and that was really fun. For years, our date night was like, instead of going out and doing something, we drive the city and he would just quiz me on like, hey, you know, what's the cap rate on that building or how much we give this person in T eyes or, you know, whatever, it was just really fun.
 And then we would like design the front redo it go in and create a new tenant mix so much fun. So I think that my journey was really kind of confusing at times because I thought gosh, I'm doing all of these different things and what am I really good at.
 And just keep following the things that light you up because one day my daughter, she was born and when she was two years old, she was vaccine injured.
 And she got an autoimmune condition where all her hair fell out and she actually had multiple autoimmune conditions where she also got Hashimoto's thyroid and she was very lethargic.
 There was a lot of things going on and the doctors told her that she would live with that the rest of her life and there was nothing we could do.
 And this it's like my brain went back into overdrive again that whole health passion and wanting to help people came back and I'm like, what can I do because no is not an answer for me with my little girl.
 She's got to have hope. There's always hope. So I went back to herbal school. I entered into a PhD program that was really cool because it looked at the body from a more functional standpoint, quantum standpoint as opposed to an alopathic approach.
 And that was where I really started to understand and learn about water from not just its chemistry, but far beyond that.
 And that was when the stars aligned for me, I think, and it was like, oh my gosh, all of these things that I've been doing all along have been leading me to this point.
 And I remember being so fearful when I turned 30, I was like, oh my gosh, I do all these different things. Like, what am I really good at? But now I look at it and I'm like, they were all meant for a purpose and I'm so glad that I just kept following the path.
 You know, a couple things are a lot of things, but I'm going to say this. I talked to a lot of successful people and there's there's some traits that come out and that are unique to them and but also consistent. There's two of them with you that are that I've that from all of that. There's a lot, but two, one, the drive.
 Like if you aren't driven, you know, if you have to have that drive and I don't know exactly what ignites that for certain people and not others, I don't know, I'm not smart enough to know if that's nurture nature, but it's there in all successful people.
 And the other thing is this natural human curiosity.
 And I bet you without even asking you, you are a extremely curious person and because what you just described, you know, all these different paths and all that, because you were all what you're driven, highly curious and you wanted to figure it out.
 Did I nail it? You got to be, you have to be. It's like, I don't know what it is, but every successful person I talked to has three or four traits and those are two of the biggest ones and I don't know what it is.
 But it did drive you ultimately to find your passion, which is around health and water and elixirs and potions.
 If I come to San Diego, I want some elixir and a potion from Tracy.
 Oh, no, you're going to get one.
 And my house gets a magical potion.
 But it's like jumping on the trampoline here.
 We're like, what the hell happened to me?
 I need some fun time.
 I have an adult tree house here at my house.
 Oh my goodness. Did you have the guy that makes the tree houses make it or show?
 There's another one called O2 tree house and they built the most magical tree houses in the world.
 And I found them and had them come out and they built this floating net over my avocado tree where you can see a 360 view of downtown and the ocean.
 There's a shower and a bathroom and a lounge area down below and then a little ladder to climb up.
 It's cool.
 This sounds amazing.
 Oh my God.
 Nick Bookheart San Diego next week tree house.
 We're in.
 Oh my God.
 That's awesome.
 Well, you know, you just said Ryan about curiosity that ties into the pillar of health, which is creative playtime.
 Yeah.
 Without curiosity, you can't have that creative play.
 So that's those working tandem.
 It's like in order to play, we have to tap into that curiosity.
 Like, oh, what would happen if I did this and move my body this way or played with this or put this.
 This molecule with this over here and, you know, like add these two together.
 What's going to happen if I add a acid and a base together, you know, simple things like that.
 If we're not getting curious, then we're not really playing.
 How do you view marketing and social media and all that?
 Like, have you been one that's like, I let other people handle that.
 I embrace it.
 I know it works, but are you consider yourself a marketer?
 Well, that's a good question.
 There was a time in my life where I think I was.
 I think anybody that's curious about people can be pretty good at marketing.
 Yeah.
 It is a study of human behavior at the end of that.
 People like to confuse it, but it's human behavior and what triggers human behavior to take an action.
 Exactly.
 So I just have always been a person that kind of studies people, their behavior, how they act, how they respond.
 It's just fun for me.
 I'm very curious about people.
 So I feel like marketing's always kind of come natural to me.
 I wouldn't say that I try to market or come up with marketing plans or programs.
 It's just like kind of inside of me.
 If you're studying people, you're going to know like, hey, maybe we should do that.
 So try that.
 So I think I'm naturally marketing without trying.
 Yeah.
 Are you on TikTok?
 That's the question.
 No.
 I know I could have probably started TikTok a while ago and all those things, but I came to this realization that.
 For me personally, it takes away from my play time and my creative time to have too many of these apps and these platforms and all these things.
 And sure, I could build my brand and do so much more.
 But I don't really focus on building my brand and focused on becoming the best human that I can right now.
 And then I put stuff up as it comes to mind on my Instagram or this or that.
 And it's going to reach who it's meant to reach.
 That's just what I believe is.
 I'm not going to try to force it or think, oh, I got to get this many followers or this many people to see this or this many likes.
 I've gotten away from that because it takes away from my joy.
 It takes away from my pleasure and my excitement.
 So I'm putting more of my energy now into stillness, quiet listening, getting that potent download and then.
 Okay.
 Now, if it feels right to share it, I'll share it.
 But I'm just really in a different place in my life now where I just love to be one on one with people hanging out, how people in my house, parties, events, writing, doing my book.
 So I'm putting information out, but it's just a different energy than it was.
 For everyone, it's different. That's not saying that someone focused on their TikTok is wrong or that's great.
 I think it's amazing.
 And I admire the people that do that.
 I'm just, I think in life, we shift, right?
 And how we feel until my energy is just in a different space right now.
 Yeah.
 But one thing that stuck with me, what you said, focused on being more human.
 And I think that's what's missing today.
 You know, like, and I think that's what will separate you.
 Like focusing on being more human is going to actually bring out your personal prey and even more.
 Like even no matter where you posted or not, you're going to do activities because you're a driven person.
 And so that will be reflective.
 So you're building your brand without building your brand.
 Exactly.
 Yes.
 That's right.
 I don't have an intention of trying to build my brand.
 I'm not sitting here thinking about it or coming up with a plan.
 It's funny because it's funny that you asked that question because today when I was in the shower,
 I was thinking about that.
 I'm like, God, what's wrong with me?
 Like, I don't really care.
 I don't try hard to build my brand or think about like what I need to post or a plan.
 And my team is constantly asking me like, okay, so what are we doing here?
 Why are you not doing this or that or these ideas?
 And I'm just kind of like, no.
 Yeah.
 No, I just want to live my life and then authentically share it and allow divine,
 allow God to bring in the people that are aligned with my message because some people are not going to align with my message.
 They don't like my message.
 They don't care.
 They don't even care about it.
 It's not important to them.
 And then there's other people that they say it's changed their life.
 So it's going to align with the people that it's meant to.
 And I'm just focused on really honing my craft and being the best that I can be.
 And then allowing God to do the rest.
 Hey, I like it.
 And on that note, Tracy, where could keep up with you?
 I know you said Instagram.
 You got your books.
 Let's do some plugging here so we're making that does align.
 And I feel an alignment.
 I feel like a total of 820 sitting here, but but structured.
