Traci Ann Moore of Birmingham, Alabama, joins the show to bring awareness to how believers can overcome anxiety and depression. She shares how her personal journey through prayer and meditation helped birth a new purpose for her life while healing the depression and anxiety she faced.

As a child, Traci was all about being creative. Whether it was sitting coloring or sketching, needlepoint, cross-stitch, or baking homemade cinnamon rolls, she was always making and selling something. As her creativity and creations remained a hobby, she received her bachelor’s degree in Business Management from the University of Montevallo.

Having such a love and passion for all things creative, Traci needed something more, which led her to enroll in interior design school at Southern Institute School of Interior Design not long after finishing at Montevallo. Shortly after graduating from design school, Traci Ann Moore started the residential consulting and design company TAM Interiors. After over 20 years, her company has evolved into a full-service event and floral design business.

To share her gift and story, she founded iCreate in the Fall of 2013. iCreate was developed as a program to provide a voice and outlet for those who needed the freedom of creative expression. Its goal was to provide a positive environment where youth were encouraged and applauded to be free to live and express themselves through creative arts. It quickly took on a life of its own and became so much more than she could have imagined it! It evolved to not only inspire the youth but adults as well.

Over the years, iCreate has hosted many workshops, vision board sessions, paint parties, and team-building experiences. In 2020, iCreate rebranded, and the name was changed to iCreate IT. The change came to broaden its reach to help others evolve, inspire, and create their “IT” through the use and teaching of mindfulness and therapeutic art.

Traci self-published her first set of mindful coloring books in the spring of 2021. Bold Botanicals, Simply Shapes, and Mindful Moments. Her second set of books was released later that same year as a holiday set. Unique Moments, Brilliant Moments, and Adorning Moments.
