About This Episode
Tracey Nguyen is a marketing strategist, entrepreneur, and the founder of BOWO Creative, an agency dedicated to helping women-led businesses scale with heart and strategy.

Tracey’s journey started when she immigrated to Canada at 16, barely speaking English, and grew into a career that spanned corporate work, content creation, entrepreneurship, and eventually, building her own company. Along the way, she discovered what it truly means to find her voice and redefine success on her own terms.

In this episode, Tracey shares her story with raw honesty: from cultural pressures and early struggles to creating a business that reflects her values, motherhood, and her passion for supporting women.

What we talk about:
• Moving to Canada at 16 and learning to find her voice
• The turning point that shifted her away from corporate life
• Why building a business is really about values and alignment
• The truth about “women empowerment” as a movement vs. a marketing trend
• How motherhood reshaped her definition of success
• Why studying yourself matters more than studying others
• Practical advice for women starting a business or side hustle today
