Ep 34. | How to Practice Your Power in Real Time (Even When It’s Uncomfortable)

Join me on Substack: The Embodied Leader

Have you ever known you were right… but felt your body wanting to shrink anyway?

In this episode of The School of Becoming Podcast, Tracy shares a powerful real-life story from renovating the Becoming House that became a masterclass in embodied leadership, nervous system regulation, and actively practicing your power.

When contractors insisted a structural beam was necessary, Tracy felt the familiar internal pull many women know too well: don’t make this a thing, don’t be difficult, don’t rock the boat. What unfolded next was not about construction. It was about identity evolution, self-trust, and the difference between knowing your power and practicing it in real time.

This conversation dives deep into fawning responses, people-pleasing patterns, nervous system awareness, and what it truly means to regulate first and lead second. If you’re a woman who leads, builds, teaches, or holds space for others, this episode will land in your bones.

Because awareness alone doesn’t change your life. Practice does.

Tune in to hear:

• The difference between claiming your power and actively practicing it
• How fawning and people pleasing quietly sabotage leadership
• What nervous system regulation actually looks like in real time
• Why safety in the body must come before powerful action
• How to close the gap between awareness and embodied identity
• A simple framework for regulating first and leading second
• Why the woman you’re becoming requires moment-to-moment practice
