The talented actress revealed a newfound approach to her health and wellness journey.
Opening up about her past struggles, Tracy acknowledged facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, and emotional eating.
“Here I was, thick, depressed, anxiety, Drinking to numb my inner child, who wanted healing due to the childhood traumas, Eating food emotionally, lack of boundaries, disrespect to self in different situations,” she confessed.
However, Tracy’s journey took a new turn as she made a commitment to her faith, forging a deeper relationship with God and relinquishing burdens such as ‘Black Tax’—a term referring to financial obligations to support extended family members.
“I knew God but I wasn’t in a relationship with him, Black Tax was draining me,” she revealed, highlighting her journey towards spiritual renewal.
@tracywaithera1 Of course, I am Teresia Waithera Wanjiru. I change; I don’t stay the same. Here I was, thick,depressed,anxiety,Drinking to numb my inner child, who wanted healing due to the childhood traumas, Eating food emotionally,lack of boundaries,disrespect to self in different situations,I was people pleasing,I was helping as usual but not helping myself,caring but caring for people more than me,here I knew God but I wasn’t in a relationship with him,Black Tax was draining me, I didn’t communicate I would do anything to save the world,You know doing God’s work!!! I believed in my works,my strength, and I would create content to just create!!! You know, being a busybody means you always want to be doing something. I’m learning that being busy is not productive. Bond by Law I didn’t know Grace that you can be still and that God supplies your needs. It’s wild, but it still shocks me how God is faithful and how when you work, God rests, and when he works, you rest! I was suffering from insomnia. I would sleep for 3 or 2 hours, then start the cycle again and again. Oh, don’t we have sickening cycles? I was suffering from unforgiveness when I met Jesus, who just did everything for me!! And I was able to rekindle the inner child by resting in him and knowing God more!! I once asked myself: do I post content I would be proud of for years to come, or would my future kids be happy with the kind of content I have been creating?? I listen to my previous videos weuh!! lacking knowledge. Your belief system is formed with lies you’ve told yourself and you’ve been told by society, and you’ve identified yourself with them!!! Nie ma changing my mind and my thought pattern from negative to positive,adding good things to my body,taking care of my body, mind, soul, and spirit, and believing that I could lose weight, and I did it!! Finding Jesus made me find me!! Oh God, I lack words!!! Have I mentioned the Back pains?? Lord have mercy my boobs were so big that I was T for TIRED!!!! 🥱 I was so heavy!! My heart too I had to let Go! When I talk about letting Go I mean everything Unforgiveness,Anger issues,bitterness,jealousy,envy,complaining,pity parties and many others! I love you Jesus.🤍 #tracywaithera1
