"My wisdom and insights in life come from my personal faith. My faith challenges me to be a better human being, compassionate human being. Secondly, along side that comes from the work that I do with women and girls. Being surrounded by the sisterhood of women from various backgrounds has taught me a lot especially about being a women and a now a mom to a daughter, even more. The inspiration, the support, the challenges of being a woman and then being surrounded by women has been so pivitol in helping me define my -NESS."

SOBER • FEMINIST • THOUGHTFUL • LESBIAN •ENTERTAINING
Hey. I'm Tracy.
I’m a lesbian. I’m cis. I’m sober.
My passion is making sure people can see themselves represented in the recovery community. I started my blog, LGBTteetotaler, and my monthly feature We’re Here, We're Queer! to do just that. These are both platforms for myself and others to share our experiences with sobriety, recovery and, Queerness/Transness. My end goal is to help foster a truly intersectional recovery culture where all sorts of people can see their experiences reflected back to them and be inspired to make changes in their lives. Or, at the very least, know that they aren't alone.
But, that's not all!
I live in Portland, Oregon but I'll always be a New Englander. I juggle. I hike. I read. I create art. I listen to A LOT of 90's music. I have an obsession with queer lady movies, TV shows and, web series. I spent 16 years working in the health insurance industry. I'm pretty funny.
Oh, and I like cats.
"I find inspiration in the people that I know. I know some really awesome people who are doing some really awesome things. Being able to have conversations with them and seeing them move past their hard times."
TELL US, MURPH, WHAT DO YOU DO?
I am interested in helping to create a more intersectional recovery community. It is very important to me that all people feel they belong in the recovery community so, I want them to see their experiences reflected back to them. I am currently working to increase visibility for LGBTQ+ people through sharing my own story/experiences and the stories of other queer/trans people in all kinds of recovery.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE AMAZING WORK YOU DO?
Creating community, connecting with people, Helping people feel less alone

Who am I? I am a mom. I am a friend. I am a teacher and a lifelong student. I am a coach, consultant, and professional in leadership and change management. I am a health advocate: physically, emotionally, and mentally. I believe when we offer our skills and services to others, we uncover passion and purpose within our own lives. I help clients uncover their own purpose, authenticity, and personal A'has. My leadership coaching and consulting work is in partnership with Simplified Coach, Inc. I work with brilliant partners and coaches leading communication, leadership, and relationship-building workshops across Silicon Valley. I teach yoga and meditation at a place I and others call their Spiritual Sanctuary, Breathe Together in Los Gatos. I work with private clients and at corporate workplaces. My heart and head are operating more fully, together.
"I was at a silent meditation retreat and I was out on a hike thinking about what's most important for me and all of a sudden it dawned on me, my most important thing (the two sides of a coin) is freedom and grace."
TELL US, CHRISTINA, WHAT DO YOU DO?
I wear multiple hats. As a consultant and executive coach, I help others realize their full leadership potential. As a yoga teacher and mindfulness coach, I provide insights and tools to allow people to create balance in mind, body, and spirit. As a person, I try to be the best mom, wife, friend, daughter, sister (etc...) I can be, following the code of living "Do small things with great love."
