"In the Moment" with Tracy Lehr

So many of us are often thinking of the past or projecting into
the future, but being in the moment is where you have the power
to guide your destiny.


In this episode of my 'Rituals' series, I speak with Santa
Barbara TV news reporter Tracy Lehr, of KEYT News.  In order
for her to do her job of reporting the news on a tight deadline,
Lehr says a key to her success on the job is being in the
moment.  


The California Assembly recently recognized Lehr as 'Woman of the
Year' for her continuous coverage of the two disasters that hit
the Santa Barbara area in the Winter of 2018, the Thomas Fire
followed by the 1/9 Montecito Debris Flow. Lehr shares how
one photographer's single word of HOPE helped her to regain
composure after starting to cry on camera in the time following
the January 9th mudslides.  


Lehr explains what it's like to be a news reporter, being
assigned stories with little notices and expected to get them on
TV sometimes in as little as 30 minutes.  She also
shares some tips for what it takes to be a good reporter.


Tracy is also a big fan of essential oils, especially grapefruit
and (her new fav) lime. So, these are the recommended scents for
this episode to enhance your listening experience. (I'll help you
