Explore your desires towards deeper
self-discovery.
What are your desires
whispering to you?
In today’s complex world, it’s all too easy to lose touch with our inner longings.
We often find ourselves clinging to the comfort of the familiar, denying the call for change, or chasing endless self-improvement projects—only to feel lost, confused, or inadequate, and doubting our ability to move toward what truly matters.
If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place.
Together, we’ll explore the rich tapestry of your inner world. We’ll clarify your desires and gently examine the concerns that hold you back. As you learn to integrate and soften your inner tension, your natural sense of purpose, wholeness, and creativity will reemerge.
Are you ready to explore your desires and deepen your self-understanding?
“This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself.”
— Rumi
Hi, I am Stephen Tracy. 👋
A curious, big-hearted, dachshund-loving personal coach living in New York City.
Drawing on my varied experiences—from working at Google, to candle-making, to navigating my own desires through years of coaching—I’m here to support you in exploring your deepest desires.
Unlike traditional coaching or therapy that focuses on diagnoses or self-improvement, my approach isn’t about "fixing" or "solving" things.
Instead, I work in an unfolding style—we assume you are already whole and complete, and we get curious about what might be keeping your wholeness from fully expressing itself.
Together, we’ll welcome your desires and any related concerns with curiosity and compassion. In doing so, you’ll deepen your self-understanding and support the natural, integrated process of expressing all that truly matters to you.
If you’re ready to explore your desires—and yourself—with genuine curiosity, book a free introductory call below.
