OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Tracy King (Tracy Walker) is a speaker, author, and creator of The Calm Principle — a practical framework that helps people understand what happens in the critical moments before stress, overwhelm, and emotional reactions take over.
With more than 20 years of experience across education, parenting, and personal development, Tracy explores why we react the way we do, what happens when the thinking brain goes offline, and how understanding those moments can completely change the way we approach healing and connection.
She is also a contributor to the global bestselling book Tap Into Your Best Self and the author of her memoir The Cards I Was Dealt That Transformed My Life.
In this insightful conversation, Tracy shares:
• What actually happens in the body and brain right before we react
• The Calm Principle and how to use it in everyday life
• Why understanding your reactions is the first step to real healing
• Lessons from her own journey of transformation
• Practical tools for young adults navigating stress, overwhelm, and emotional triggers
• Encouragement for anyone who feels stuck in reactive patterns
If you’re in your 20s dealing with stress, big emotions, or feeling like your reactions are running the show, this episode offers clear, usable tools to create more calm and control.
