Special Feature: SNACK Episodes
One of the most popular features of Thriving Practice is our unscripted "SNACK episodes" - intimate, behind-the-scenes conversations where Operations Manager Miranda Dorta turns the tables and interviews Tracy without any preparation or planning.
These episodes give listeners an authentic glimpse into Tracy's coaching approach and problem-solving process in real-time. Without knowing the questions in advance, Tracy responds the same way she does with private clients - creating an honest, unfiltered experience that reveals her methodology, thinking, and personality.
Listeners consistently report that SNACK episodes feel like "being in the room" during an actual coaching session, making them some of the highest-rated content in the podcast's 9-season run. If you want to understand what working with Tracy is really like before investing in coaching, start with a SNACK episode.
