| What If You’re Making It Harder Than It Needs to Be? | 09 Apr 2025 | 00:10:56 | |
I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 Ever catch yourself turning something that was supposed to feel joyful… into a low-key stress spiral? In this solo episode, Tracy gets honest about her own pattern of making things harder than they need to be—and why so many of us confuse difficulty with importance. She reflects on a past moment in corporate life, a simple (but game-changing) line from a friend, and the invisible ways we create pressure that no one asked us to carry. You’ll hear how her perspective started to shift after attending a retreat with podcast host and entrepreneur Cathy Heller, who reminded her: “Everyone wants to make life difficult, but it really can be easy.” This isn’t about bypassing the hard stuff. It’s about noticing when you’re adding unnecessary weight—and giving yourself permission to choose something different. In this episode, Tracy explores: - Why ease can feel uncomfortable if you’re used to the hustle - How we sometimes self-create stress just to feel like we’re “doing it right” - Real-life moments that revealed a softer, more aligned way forward Tune in if you’re craving: ➤ A little more ease ➤ A whole lot less pressure ➤ And a beautiful reminder that life doesn’t have to be heavy to be meaningful. 💬 Want to join the Delusional June fun?

| Why It’s Never Too Late to Try Something New (I’ve Got the Receipts)? | 26 Mar 2025 | 00:09:41 | |
I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 Why It’s Never Too Late to Try Something New (I’ve Got the Receipts) Ever feel like you’re behind in life? Like you missed the deadline for figuring it all out… whatever “it” is? In this week’s episode, we’re flipping that tired old narrative and throwing out the imaginary rulebook. Because spoiler alert: the timeline? It’s not real. We’re diving into that feeling of being “too late”—whether it’s for a career pivot, a creative dream, or just starting over in some way—and challenging where that belief even comes from. (Hint: it’s probably not your voice.) I’m sharing a whole lineup of real people—Tina Fey, Oprah, J.K. Rowling, Alan Rickman (hello, Snape!), Morgan Freeman, and more—who didn’t “make it” until later in life. And I’ve got examples from nature, too—cicadas, bamboo, the butterfly, the lotus flower—proving that transformation happens on its own timeline. This episode is your reminder that it’s not too late. You’re not behind. You’re just becoming. Timestamps: 00:00 – Overcoming the Feeling of Being Behind 00:58 – Challenging Societal Timelines 01:44 – Inspiring Late Bloomers (with receipts!) 04:59 – Nature’s Timing and Personal Growth 06:06 – Embracing Life’s Challenges (mud and all) 08:15 – Your Unique Timeline Sponsored by Whole Being Journey—helping women reconnect with themselves through yoga, coaching, Reiki, and the Return to Her podcast.

| Why Chasing Passion Might Be Keeping You Stuck | 12 Mar 2025 | 00:12:16 | |
I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 Are you waiting for passion to strike like lightning? What if that’s exactly what’s keeping you stuck? In this episode, we’re challenging the age-old advice to follow your passion and replacing it with something far more powerful—curiosity. Passion is amazing when it’s there, but what happens when it’s not? If you’ve ever felt lost, unsure of what truly lights you up, or frustrated because you can’t seem to find your thing—this episode is for you. I’m sharing an eye-opening quote from Elizabeth Gilbert, bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic, that completely reframed the way I think about creativity, fulfillment, and what’s next. It turns out, the little whispers of curiosity—the things you Google, gravitate toward, or can’t stop thinking about—are the real breadcrumbs leading you to your most aligned, exciting life. I’ll also share my own experience of ignoring curiosity (while desperately searching for my passion) and the surprising way it led me exactly where I was meant to go. Plus, I’ll walk you through a simple challenge to reconnect with your own sense of wonder and start following the right clues. In This Episode, We’ll Talk About:

I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 This week, we’re throwing logic out the window (just for a bit) and getting a little delusional—on purpose.

No checklists, no rules. Just an open invitation to believe before the proof, speak your bold dreams out loud, and start showing up like it’s already happening.

| Human Design Explained: How Understanding Your Energy Changes Everything (with Alex "La" Simms) | 16 Jul 2025 | 01:10:08 | |
I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 Ever wish someone would just hand you the manual for how you’re built to operate? In this episode, I’m on the other side of the mic being interviewed by Alex “La” Simms, the brilliant host of the Cancer Cured Me podcast. We dive into Human Design: what it is, why it’s not as woo-woo as you think (not that we don't love woo), and how it can help you finally stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting your natural energy. I share how I went from living a picture-perfect, burnout-riddled corporate life to discovering Human Design and why learning how I’m actually designed to move through the world changed everything. We break down the five energy types (including Alex’s own Manifesting Generator chart), the power of profiles, and how understanding your authority can make decision-making way less confusing and way more aligned. This conversation is real, energizing, and a permission slip to be fully you.
