Season 2, Episode 2 — The Grenade

If there’s anything to be learned in this season of Sprints & Milestones, everyone interprets failure differently. In this episode, entrepreneur and fine artist Tracey Halvorsen shares how a metaphorical grenade was dropped on her life and how she navigated it personally and professionally.

“There is so much growth and so many great things to experience when you go ahead and say ‘yes’ to change. You say yes to the universe. You say yes to the fear. You let go of all the things you’ve been holding on so tightly. It’s really okay. It’s better than okay.” — Tracey Halvorsen
