Have you ever felt like life was moving forward while you were standing still? Perhaps you’ve been through grief, painful transitions, or instances of questioning your purpose. These uncomfortable in-between moments can feel uncertain, maybe even isolating, but they also hold potential for deep transformation.
In today's episode, I sit down with Tracie Rosser-Green, a first-time author whose memoir honours the legacy of her parents while exploring her own path through grief, illness, and self discovery. Tracie shares how her family’s strength, faith, and love carried her through, and how writing became both an act of healing as well as a way for her to reconnect with herself.
Tune in and listen to the twenty-sixth episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to discover how Tracie turned years of loss into a lasting legacy.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What Tracie’s life looked like before her transformative journey (4:39)
- How an unexpected Mother’s Day writing prompt planted the seed for Tracie’s book (6:05)
- How divine timing brought Tracie’s publisher into her life (7:44)

- What Tracie discovered about herself in the process of writing her book (24:18)
- How the trauma of a difficult marriage triggered Tracie’s health challenges and how she finally found healing (32:09)
- The advice Tracie has for anyone who has their own story to share but doesn’t know where to start (43:44)
