Love this Tracy! You are amazing. 🤩 Appreciate you and you’re inspiring in many ways. Mom of 4 here twin 19 year olds, 2 girls both young teens. Traditional catholic family living our best lives. You are very special to me. Always delivering a dose of comfort and clarity to me. Trials and tribulations are always bringing us closer to The Lord for sure. Prayers to you and your family ❤ “Gratitude is attitude ❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you! I appreciate the thoughtful message. God Bless!

[@michelles6]

Love you

[@sayuriisme9728]

Tracy it means so much that you shared in this way. To see and hear an accomplished, intelligent woman express her struggles and her faith is beyond inspiring to me. Thank you!❤

[@royramsey8428]

☺️ Thank you for your authenticity and vulnerability. You inspire me year after year, Tracy. Adore you ❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you!

[@lauraneaves6912]

Tracy I always love when you share your thoughts about the Lord, it's so encouraging, and to know we're not alone in our struggles. I said to a friend the other day, I have no big "issues or struggles" - yet, I STRUGGLE. Each day I say, LORD, HELP ME. Just want to hear his voice and direction for my life. And it's NOT easy, that's why we need him so much. My year so far, I have been sick with cold after cold (have never been this sick!!!) So many nights with interrupted sleep with my 10 month old joy, making me SO tired and weary. My workouts are almost nil, only yoga 2x a week and I walk outside everyday. It's my season right now. Keep going Tracy, we so appreciate you 💕💜

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Laura, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and supportive message. I love what you said to your friend. It's so true. Are we ever not struggling in an area? Leaning on the Lord is a saving Grace for those of us who choose Him. I'm sorry you've had so much sickness and chronic colds. It is so tough when you need the energy for a little one. My two daughters, who are in the season of babies (I remember - Mack was born the same day as Joy), are experiencing the same interrupted sleep and navigating life when fatigue is so present. My daughter, McKenna (Mack's mom), is making it to 1 workout class per week and sometimes doesn't make it at all. Kirstyn, my oldest and mom to June and Maren (5 months) is just now getting back into some exercise, and it's a struggle. Just know you're not alone. Take it one day at a time, and remember it's a season. And seasons change.

[@lauraneaves6912]

@TracyHensel thanks for your reply Tracy, and hearing where your daughters are at definitely makes me feel not so alone! Yes you remember Mack and my little girl (Breanne) - oops I said joy as she is my "joy" were born on the same day.. 1st birthday parties are coming up!!! 💜💜 me and Bree always watch your stories, she knows who you are!!! 😄😄😄 hugs

[@michelles6]

Fun video. Love you Tracy!

[@michelles6]

Thank you for the blessings of this video

[@carrieperrigo2319]

3 am wake up! I thought you got up at 4! I thought I was doing good getting up at 3:55, but I felt I still didn't have time to get everything done that I wanted to accomplish before leaving for work, so I keep pushing it back 5 minutes each day! You really inspire me! I can do all the hard things that God wants me to do! Thank you for sharing that you struggled with something and had a hard time with it. It definitely makes you seem more relatable. I'm thinking about joining your 21 day challenge!

[@TracyHensel]

Hello Carrie! My schedule determines what time I wake up. There are several 3 a.m. wake-ups per week, but I am still logging 7.5+ hours per night. That is the key for me. I would love for you to join the 3-Week Intense community. Have a lovely week! Keep Choosing Your Hard!

[@kavyaspark]

Tracy- Thank you so much for sharing this video. I so want to give you a nice warm hug. You have helped so many women like me lead our optimal life when we were down and out. I know you are going through transition. Thank you for sharing the same and acknowledging some of the struggles you have had. It's easy to show the highlights of one's life on social media but so difficult to share the vulnerable moments. You sharing this with this community is such a strong and powerful message that WE are not alone. So brave of you! Also, loved listening to the other exciting updates. Enjoy your Valentine's day dinner! 💗

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Kavya. I appreciate the thoughtful message. Enjoy your weekend! I still need to reply to your last message. Sometimes, I skip longer messages to return when I have more time to read, and then I may overlook them altogether.

[@kavyaspark]

@@TracyHensel NP at all Tracy. Being your strong supporter and follower, please note that I am always here to support you and cheer you on ❤️ Maybe that’s why my messages become so lengthy and wordy at times. 😊

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@pennyhare925]

Cheers, and yes, thank you

[@rachriri]

Thank you for being vulnerable Tracy! You keep it real and we love that about you. Cheers!

[@maueenali8056]

Tracy- just love how you keep it all gritty and real- so real- i can only relate to imperfections and struggles - deep struggles of my own that are hollowing me out. You are helping me to replenish- God bless and keep you. Maueen

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Maueen!

❤️ you girl! I've had Daily Word since 1974 ! 🌺

[@TracyHensel]

Oh, I love it! Thank you for sharing!

[@bookandwineloversmarketing]

I miss your talks you had with your friend that used to live near you. Those were so much fun❣️🍷 Thank you for sharing.

[@jackiehallstrom2294]

What a GREAT video! ❤

[@normakeith4472]

Thank you so much for this encouraging time with us. Jan 2 of this year was the one year anniversary of the passing of my Mother. I was her caregiver for the last year of her life. Yes, this past year was tough, but the love of my God cradled me and encouraged me. I so appreciate that you speak of your faith and the possible shortcomings as well. So appreciate you!❤

[@TracyHensel]

I am so sorry about your loss, Norma. Mothers play such a significant role in our lives. What a gift for both you and your mother to have you care for her in her final year. I don't doubt it was equally a blessing and taxing. What beautiful words you shared about God cradling and encouraging you during this difficult time. I appreciate your sharing. God Bless!

[@rebeccafox110]

Love these chit chat videos! I am disciplined in watching your videos! 😂 Thank you! ❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Rebecca!

[@r-anne7375]

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you! Have an enjoyable weekend!

[@vicki9368]

Beautiful Tracy. I've been following you since Snapchat days and may I humbly say that I have a deep love and respect for you as a sister in Christ. I cannot tell you how you have inspired, challenged, encouraged, and strengthened me over the years with your exceptional content. You give so much of yourself freely and willingly and for that I'm truly thankful. Sometimes people touch our souls from across the miles because of their generosity of heart, honesty, transparency and authenticity. I want to wish you and your loved ones a blessed and healthy year. Everything else is secondary. May God guide you and keep you safe and loved so that you can be the best version of yourself for those who care for you - whether near or far. 🥰🙏❤️

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you so much, Vicki. I so appreciate your thoughtful message. God Bless You!

[@loricraig3589]

Beautiful video full of encouraging support for those going through difficulties. 🙏🏻

Thank you!

[@joyhardin6789]

Sorry to hear you have been down, but I’m so glad you are doing better. Much love to you!

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Joy! I appreciate your thoughtful message.

[@debbietalish2968]

Thank you for this video, Tracy! So much of what you said has resonated with me. We all have ups and downs and challenges. I appreciate your openness and honesty. God Bless you! Enjoy your special weekend with Paul! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Debbie! I appreciate you taking the time to leave me such a thoughtful message. God Bless!

[@MGomez777]

Seeing you get emotional made me cry. Just shows that even when you have your shit together you still have moments. I always hate myself when I have moments of sadness because I feel like a failure

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing! I'm sorry to hear how you feel in moments of sadness. It's simply not true. We are emotional beings and WILL have down days, sadness, overwhelm, and disappointment. It's an art worth cultivating to not let it defeat you or allow negative self-talk to creep in. The enemy will always ATTEMPT to be at work. "Not today, enemy! I can and will be down without you!' Find gratitude in discomfort. You are worthy and great!

[@ladyjade9494]

Always check in on your strong friend ❤ xxx

[@WendyFerguson-e7y]

Yes! Once you know, you know. I appreciate your honesty and truth. 💗💗

[@peachez982]

Love hearing you share about some of the challenges you have and how you overcome them- huge inspiration. I too feel like I am constantly tested!

[@barbarawood286]

WOW!! I needed that!! Thank you!! ❤ 😊

[@phylissbrassey8431]

So sorry for your period of trials ans happy it wasn't a problem with you and Paul. For me you are a special couple and wishing you continued happiness together ❤

[@LisaCavender740]

What a perfect video Tracy! Thank you. I needed this reminder that it’s all in Gods timing. I need to get more disciplined in all my life areas!! Luv ya

[@connien7690]

Tracy, thank you for this video. I miss your wine talks with Amy. You two were so good together. Thanks for being so real. God is also my strength and he has helped me so much too. Have a wonderful week. Also, thanks for the helpful hints that you have given me. Hugs!

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing. Connie and the lovely message. Amy and I did make a great duo. We often talk about bringing Wine Wednesday back (virtually), but our schedules are so opposite that we have yet to figure out how to make it work so that we can be consistent. Have a beautiful and blessed weekend!

[@elizabethelizawker8212]

Hi Tracy! 😊❤ I just want to encourage you and reassure you that you are and have been a true blessing to me. What you shared in this video somewhat paralleled the beginning of my 2024. Boy did I get blindsided and in a big way. But God blessed me with realizing some things I needed to understand. I have been holding tight to Romans 8:28 for years and praise God, He showed Himself faithful once again through my experience in January. You are my sister in Christ and I feel that you are also my friend. I continue to pray for you because you have been such a help and blessing to me. Thank you very much for sharing and please know you have a true friend here in Georgia. ❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Elizabeth. I appreciate your thoughtful message. Your words mean a lot. I'm sorry to hear that your year also came with some unforeseen surprises. I'm glad you found meaning in HIS timing and plan. Have a lovely weekend! God Bless!

[@rgrandberry1234]

[@justyna.1979]

Thank you Tracy for another real and honest video 🙏We are so blessed to learn from you how to face, overcome our problems, worries and also how to really celebrate wins. My children are in middle school age at this point, I am working on self development to become role model like you are for your children. Such thoughtful gift you received from your family❤ Have a blessed weekend and wonderful trip with your husband!

[@TracyHensel]

I appreciate your lovely message and appreciation for what I do and bring to my audience. You are doing great things by putting the self-work in. God Bless you! Have a lovely weekend!

[@amyhilger2919]

Bless you, Tracy; sending you a big hug! Enjoy your night with Paul; may it be just the rest & reset you need & deserve. You are a gem & a gift to this world! Romans 8:28. ❤❤❤

Thank you, Amy! I appreciate your kindness and loyal support of what I share on my platforms. You are a blessing in my life. Have a lovely weekend!

[@TracyHensel]

How funny! Enjoy your weekend!

[@remote_with_russ]

Loved it Tracy. Thank you. I'm hoping to join your program in April. I need some more "tweaking" and support. I lost 10 pounds in January, but hit another plateau. The good news is that I've maintained the weight loss, just need to keep the momentum going. ❤

[@TracyHensel]

That's great news that you are maintaining your weight loss goals. I look forward to having you in Quarter Two 3-Week Intense. Keep making strides.

[@Avoid_Low_Frequency]

What a great video!!! Once my beloved Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from post season play I hopped on board with the Detroit Lions in hopes they would be in the Super Bowl, it won’t be their year but they too are in a growing phase. I loved your comments on discipline, those words serve me well! Thank you for this motivating Friday video (I am grateful)!!

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for taking the time to share. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your comment. Have a lovely weekend! God Bless!

[@sassysandie2865]

January sucked for me. Funny how this popped up after I poured myself a glass of wine. 🍷 Thanks for sharing your faith. I don’t know how I would make it through this life without the Lord. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psl. 139

Ms. Tracy, Thank you for sharing this video. Do you offer 1:1 coaching or group coaching?

[@TracyHensel]

You're most welcome. I offer 1:1 coaching but also have workshops and programs for group settings.

[@kassi2671]

Love. ❤ the Lord will only hand you what you can handle.

[@nikki__west]

Oh how I miss these chatty videos..they are some of my favs. Something I really struggle with is the concept of God’s timing. That’s a tough one for me.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing! If you like these videos, I encourage you to watch me on Instagram Stories. I share almost daily videos like this. Have a lovely weekend.

[@Awesomebeautyxo]

Hi Tracy! Hope you are doing well. Will you be continuing with the Q and A videos that you did last year? They were great and I really enjoyed them. I also really enjoy your vlogs

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for the feedback. Currently, I will not be filming any Q&As for KZbin. At our annual business meeting in January, we found that the Q & As could have been a better ROI when we covered KZbin analytics. Those videos resulted in several 'unsubscribes'. If I do any moving forward, they will be offered in a private class where serious members can join for a fee.

[@naturelover-f6h]

Tracy, thank you for sharing. I am also going through a very dark time, divorcing a very controlling/narcissistic man, and a book that is helping me outside of my devotionals/bible is a book called "Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender" by Dr. David Hawkins. This book has helped me alot in terms of letting go of negative emotions, negative energies, negative people, etc. Maybe it will help you and someone else. Thank you.

[@TracyHensel]

I'm sorry to hear you are going through a dark time. It makes sense, considering the environment you were in with your controlling husband. Thank you for sharing how you are navigating this difficult time and for the book recommendation. I hope your message gets seen to give hope to others who may be struggling.

[@kimstephenson4781]

Sleep. What did you finally do to improve your sleep? I fall asleep, no problem at all. I wake up about 2:30 in the morning and I'm up for the rest of the day. What did you do to fix your sleep issue? If you've done a video I'm so sorry I must have missed it.

[@tatianasouza2361]

✝️💜🥳🙌👏👏👏👏😍🥰😘🌷🤩

[@BeyondClaire]

Tracy, sometimes you are tested because God wants you to rest more. 😊

[@TracyHensel]

I don't think rest is what GOD is trying to tell me. I am highly obedient in that area. I think he's testing where I am NOT being obedient. That's what makes it a test. Be obedient in all! That's my job. God's job is outcome. Have a lovely weekend!

[@BeyondClaire]

@@TracyHensel I love that “be obedient in all”. I also try to live that way. Your Rock will sustain you! Thank you for sharing to teach, to guide, to demonstrate. You are a shining light!

[@TracyHensel]

Bless you! Obedient is my word for the year. I've never had a 'Word of the Year,' but boy, is it good for me. When I do my daily work, I ask myself how I was obedient the day before and how I can build on being obedient today. It's been powerful and serving!

[@TracyHensel]

And will continue to be, unfortunately. Thanks for sharing, Loretta, and keep overcoming.

Would you be willing to share how you handled things before your self growth? That might make others feel like there’s a chance for them also to change.
