Tracey Gates joins me to share the simple but powerful moment that sparked her yearlong journey of writing one handwritten appreciation letter every day. What started as a small act of kindness became a practice that restored her energy, deepened her relationships, and eventually inspired her book The Power of a Few Kind Words. Tracey’s story reminds us that courage often begins quietly and grows through small intentional steps.
Together we talk about vulnerability, purpose, creativity, and the ripple effect of taking time to let people know they matter. You will leave this episode encouraged to pause, listen to your own inner whisper, and take the brave step that has been waiting inside you.
