   Your Intuition is a Support System

   Tracey-Ann Rose is the Career Alignment Coach for WOC who are intuitive, sensitive, and recovering people-pleasers. She teaches WOC how to attract clients by being themselves, creating more career opportunities with less stress. She uses her energy reading gifts, B.S. of Psychology from the University of Georgia, and her empathic nature to help WOC own every part of themselves, so they can create their dream career path with authenticity as the foundation. Before becoming a Career Alignment Coach, she worked as an Actor and Writer. After tiring of the lack of dynamic representation of the BIPOC community in the entertainment industry, she decided a shift was in order. We discuss intuition, the identities we have held as Black women, and the liberating moments in life when we bet on ourselves!
