when grief becomes an awakening: tracy laskos on coming home to yourself

<p>What happens when life doesn't follow the script you were handed? When loss cracks you open and forces you to ask: who am I without all these roles, all these expectations, all these stories I've been told about who I'm supposed to be?</p><p>In this episode, I sit down with Tracy Laskos, author, conscious leadership advisor, and founder of Wings of Truth, to talk about the seasons of unraveling we all go through, and what it means to come home to yourself when everything else falls away.</p><p>Tracy shares her journey through profound loss, including losing her mom while she was a new mother herself. She talks about how grief became an awakening rather than something to overcome, and how that loss pulled back the veil and opened her to a deeper spiritual path.</p><p>We dive into shadow work and what it really means to integrate rather than eliminate parts of ourselves. Tracy offers this beautiful reframe: the darkness is required for the light to be seen. We also explore leadership through vulnerability, the metamorphosis process, and what it means to witness transformation—both in ourselves and in the people we love.</p><p>This conversation is honest, grounded, and deeply moving. If you're in a season of unraveling, if you've ever felt like life was asking you to let go of who you thought you were so you could become who you actually are, this episode is for you.</p><p>Tracy recently published her first book, <em>The Spark Within: An Authentic Journey Home</em>, which weaves her personal story with journal prompts and reflection points to support your own healing journey.</p><p><strong>Connect with Tracy:</strong>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tracylaskos/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@tracylaskos</a>Website: <a href="https://www.wingsoftruth.co/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.wingsoftruth.co/</a>Book: <a href="https://amzn.to/4iFmrHQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Purchase Now</a></p><p>Follow me on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamtinamelendez/⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@iamtinamelendez</a> </p><p>Come sit with me in meditation.
