“We highly recommend inviting Tracy to speak at any event centered on foster care, youth development, or family systems in crisis. Tracy recently spoke to a group of 30 of our volunteers, and the experience left a lasting impact. She doesn’t come with a step-by-step guide or promise of a quick fix—instead, she offers something far more powerful: a story of resilience, grace, and unwavering hope in the midst of real-life challenges. Through her transparency and faith-filled storytelling, she reminded us that even in the chaos, God makes a way—that there’s purpose and redemption in the mess.
Her session invited our team to approach foster youth and families not with judgment, but with grace, presence, and an open heart. She offered honest insights not just from her own perspective, but also from her son and loved ones—echoing the depth and vulnerability found in her book, Disruptive Grace. For our volunteers, it was a meaningful reminder that the work we do isn’t about fixing kids—it’s about walking with them, seeing them, and believing in something bigger than the pain they've endured. Tracy left our team inspired, better equipped, and deeply moved. If you're looking for a speaker who can hold both truth and tenderness in the same breath, Tracy is the voice you want in the room.”

"Tracy Zserdin's heartfelt passion, story, and authenticity was evident at our foster mom weekend retreat as she shared the deeply moving story behind her book, Disruptive Grace. Her message of faith, sorrow, redemption, and grace resonated with every mom in the room, leaving behind a sense of renewed hope. Tracy's ability to connect through raw honesty and her faith in Jesus, was what truly resonated with our moms. If you're looking for an inspiring speaker to uplift your audience, Tracy is a perfect choice."
“College students have their entire lives ahead of them, the unknown is stressful and overwhelming. Tracy's story is a beautiful reminder that even in the darkest, most unpredictable moments, when life is unraveling and the frayed ends aren't tying up in a pretty bow, that our identity and purpose can be restored in the joy moments found in communion with God. Her willingness to be vulnerable about deeply painful life experiences, yet model the resilience achieved by God's restoration, offers the authenticity Gen Z so craves.”
