Summary
In today’s episode, Tracy courageously shares one of her stories with us. Born to a family longing for a boy, the war against her femininity began early. Tracy learned that attention with her father could be won by performing well in sports, dressing in boys’ clothings, and wearing her hair short. One day, in an effort to belong with other sixth-grade girls, she wore a dress to school. The reaction of her peers deepened her desire to stay away from dresses and femininity. She made a commitment that day not to wear dresses ever again. Listen as Tracy discusses this story in the context of her life as a professional golfer, how she’s learned to look at her younger self with kindness and compassion, and how God playfully invited her into redemption with an unexpected challenge to wear dresses for the entire month of December.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, you are listening to the place we find ourselves, the podcast where we not only talk about all things related to story, trauma and therapy, |
| 0:10.4 | but also have the privilege of hearing real-life stories of interview guests. |
| 0:15.4 | I'm Adam Young and this is episode 6, titled When Your Femininity Is Assulted with Tracy Hanson. |
| 0:24.4 | I've said it before but it bears repeating, any time you share a true story from your life with the general public, |
| 0:30.8 | you are risking the possibility that there will be some who don't hold your story with the sacredness and honor that it deserves. |
| 0:39.8 | And so as you listen, I invite you just to consider what does it mean to hold with honor the story of another human being whom you don't know. |
| 0:50.6 | And how can you receive Tracy's story with both a sense of sacredness and a sense of gratitude, |
| 0:57.6 | knowing that it has cost her something to share this story in a public way? |
| 1:03.2 | I'm glad that you're listening to my interview with Tracy. |
| 1:10.4 | Okay, welcome Tracy Hanson, it is good to see you. |
| 1:14.4 | It's good to see your face, Adam. |
| 1:16.6 | Say a bit about when you first learned that you had a story and what prompted you to kind of begin engaging your story. |
| 1:28.0 | Yeah, so I played 16 years of professional golf on top of college golf and junior golf. |
| 1:36.4 | And so I had been playing for 30 years by then. |
| 1:40.4 | And it really wasn't until I left my arena of performance and got separated from where I could find my acceptance and my identity by what I was doing that I started to feel like there was an unraveling happening in me and I didn't know what it was. |
| 1:58.0 | I had I knew I had loss and harm in my story, but I did not put the right intensity to it. |
| 2:08.2 | And so I actually met a woman, Kay Aigle, working for a totally non related company outside of sports and she noticed me and started pursuing my heart. |
| 2:20.2 | And so I started talking about some of my past things, relationships that were my fault. |
| 2:28.4 | She's like, I think you have a little bit more to talk about and I need to introduce you to some other people to do that. |
| 2:35.6 | And actually there was one other person before that that heard a little bit of about of a relationship I had back in high school and she actually labeled it sexual abuse. |
| 2:45.0 | And so it was the combination of these two people who I'm like, I don't think I like that. |
| 2:50.2 | Nor do I want to embrace that that that's about who I am. |
