Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions, no longer fulfilled in your work or life? Maybe you’ve thought about starting over but something keeps holding you back. Whether it’s your current identity, your beliefs, or even your age, taking that leap toward change feels overwhelming.
If this sounds familiar, you’re in for a treat—Rachel is sitting down with Traci for an amazing conversation on what it takes to walk away from what you’ve built and step into something new.
Traci, who left her successful career at HGTV, felt the pull for something more. She wasn’t unhappy with her job, but she knew deep down that she was meant for more. That pull led her to hit pause, reassess her life, and start creating something on her own terms.
She realized her career didn’t define her, and despite the fears around money and identity, she knew she had to take control of her life. Traci’s biggest breakthrough? Understanding that what you do is not who you are. We often get trapped in hustle culture and forget to pause and reflect on what truly matters—our passions, values, and how we can apply them across every aspect of life.
We often get stuck in routines that don’t bring us joy, and the thought of self-discovery can feel like a lot. But the key is taking that first step—trusting yourself to find your way forward. Rachel and Traci’s conversation is a reminder it’s time to take a breath and reimagine what’s possible. Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.
