Episode 147-When You Feel Like Quitting.....

Hey Humor Consumers...

Side Note: It is still October so it's still Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Check out Tracy live on Fox32 Chicago Orange Friday segment as she spoke on behalf of The Chicago Bears and the Crucial Catch campaign sponsored by the NFL and American Cancer Society. Schedule your screening today.

Now back to our episode on NOT QUITTING.

Have you ever felt like quitting? If you're human, we bet you have. Today we will be talking all about "when you feel like quitting."

1. When & why we wanted to quit and how we persevered
2. Ten reasons why you shouldn’t quit
3. Famous people who didn’t quit

Inspo Close:

Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that’s so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

Galations 6:9 "So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. It just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up." 

CTA- Duh 🙄 Don’t give up (at least, not today!)

***MORE ABOUT TRACY DEGRAAF COMEDY***

Hi Friends, Tracy here. My husband and I survived raising 5 boys and there were so many funny stories along the way. Now is my time to "show and tell." 🥳 I put these stories in my book and on stage in my comedy act. It's so much fun.

If you're new to my comedy, here's a little about me.

I'm from the Chicago area and I perform my one-woman clean comedy show “Life Happens Laugh Anyway” nationwide for both corporate and non-profit organizations.

My comedy combines two of my passions: Christianity and breast cancer awareness. (I was diagnosed in 2016 with stage 1 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma...a fancy name for breast cancer. Currently, I'm doing great and am cancer free!)

As a Christian and a breast cancer survivor, I use my platform to inspire women spiritually and motivate them to schedule their breast cancer screenings. I like to tell women “I want you to know Jesus, but I don’t want you to meet Him face-to-face just yet.” 🙏❤️

I pull material from my experiences as a wife, mother of five grown sons and middle-aged woman. I love performing for Girls Night Out Events, Women’s Conferences, Fundraisers, Breast Cancer Awareness Events, Cancer Survivor Events and more. I was trained for comedy at The Second City in Chicago. I'm happily married to my husband, Ron (a.k.a. Muffin) since 1989 and we are now empty nesters! 😁 We can't stop smiling. Our boys are spread out between Colorado, Illinois and Indiana.

I publish a weekly podcast called Life Happens Laugh Anyway with my bff Cathrine and it is so much fun. We started the podcast when the world shut down during Covid since all of my shows were canceled. It's a hoot. We tackle a new topic weekly that we think our audience will care about and discuss it in an entertaining way. We close each episode with some spiritual encouragement. 👍
