About

"A comprehensive toolkit designed to help you navigate the intricate paths of ambition and self-doubt. . . an invaluable companion."--Jennifer Alvarez, SVP of Brand and Chief Creative Officer of the Miami Heat

Create the fully aligned, purposeful life you were made to live

What do you really want? It's an uncomplicated question until you try to answer it meaningfully. Whether prompted by transition, disruption, or curiosity about how to live more aligned with your values, we've all been there, feeling frozen, stuck, or lost in the fog of competing, half-baked desires, unsure how to move forward.

In The Magic of Knowing What You Want, leadership coach Tracey Gee walks you through a proven framework of identifying, clarifying, and embodying your desires. With interactive exercises, relatable case studies, and thoughtful questions, Gee helps you discover what you really want, teaches you how to turn those desires into action, and shows you that a thriving, abundant life is closer than you think.

"In this book, Tracey turns a scary question into a tender one, leading you to an answer that may surprise you.

"I've always assumed that being one of the best in the world was something that naturally came to me. Reading this book gave me clarity on how all of my peak experiences were somehow aligned with my desires. It made complete sense why I was willing to work so hard to accomplish my goals. I will no longer ignore my desires in all aspects of life; I will instead acknowledge, explore, and embrace them!"

Lashinda Demus, 2012 Olympic gold medalist

"Tracey has an incredible gift of helping people identify and synthesize their strengths, gifts, and desires. In this book, she graciously gives voice to how common it is to not know what you want, and then walks you through some practical, creative, and accessible ways to get in touch with what your lived experiences have to say. Tracey has an abundance of expertise that she generously and masterfully shares in this book, and I could not recommend it enough."

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to uncover the wisdom of their desires and live a life of deeper alignment and purpose. Tracey's heartfelt stories and profound insights have touched my heart and strengthened my resolve to live fully and authentically. I believe this book will inspire and guide many others to discover and embrace the magic of their own desires."
