When your why for overcoming the obstacle is greater than the obstacle, the obstacle ceases to exist.

What drives you to keep going when the obstacles feel overwhelming?

This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let’s Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome powerhouse guest Tracey Wingard for an episode centered around a quote that has guided her life and leadership:

“When your why for overcoming the obstacle is greater than the obstacle, the obstacle ceases to exist.” — Billy Alsbrooks

Tracey opens up about her personal and professional journey—navigating health challenges, loss, and the uphill battles of being a woman leader in a male-dominated industry. Through it all, she discovered the power of knowing her why and letting it fuel her determination to press forward.

Together, Mayce, Missy, and Tracey talk about finding clarity in your purpose, turning pain into purpose, and recognizing that obstacles aren’t stop signs—they’re stepping stones. Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to push through a difficult season, this episode will inspire you to anchor into your why and keep moving forward.
