    Why Being Sensitive Is A Superpower (Inspired by My Conversation with Karen Blaine)

    I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 For years, I was told I needed to toughen up. I felt everything. Every shift in a room, every unspoken word, every emotion. And somewhere along the way, I learned that was “too much.” In this solo episode, I’m sharing a powerful conversation I had with Karen Blaine, a retired hypnotherapist and author who works with empaths and highly sensitive women. Due to audio issues, I wasn’t able to release the full interview, but the message was too important not to share. We talk about what it really means to be sensitive in today’s world, why empathy isn’t a weakness, and how your ability to feel deeply is actually a form of awareness, not something to fix. If you’ve ever been told you’re too sensitive… if you pick up on energy, emotions, and what’s not being said… this conversation will hit home. We also explore how this shows up through the lens of Human Design, including Reflectors and undefined solar plexus centers, and why what you feel in your body is valuable information you’re meant to trust. In This Episode: What it really means to be an empath or highly sensitive personWhy sensitivity and emotional awareness are not weaknessesHow to trust what you feel (instead of overriding it)The role of empathy in today’s worldHuman Design insights: Reflectors & undefined solar plexusLearning how to feel without carrying everythingConnect with Karen Blaine: Website: https://eternalempath.com Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Karen-Blaine/author/B0B8XYZ123 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eternalempath Want More?

    Why We’re Treating Symptoms Instead of People with Dr. Karyn Shanks

    I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 What if the way we’ve been taught to think about health is incomplete? In this conversation, Dr. Karyn Shanks shares a different lens on healing. One that moves beyond symptoms, diagnoses, and quick fixes… and instead looks at the whole person. We talk about why so many people feel like they’re slipping through the cracks of the medical system, how our stories hold more insight than we’ve been taught to believe, and what it actually looks like to start listening to your body in a meaningful way. This isn’t about rejecting conventional medicine. It’s about expanding the way we think about health, healing, and what’s actually possible when we zoom out. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why so many people feel unseen in traditional healthcareThe difference between treating symptoms and understanding the whole personThe role your personal story plays in your healthWhy healing isn’t just physicalHow to begin building a relationship with your bodyThe power of slowing down and actually listeningWhy the future of health may look more collaborative than we thinkAbout Dr. Karyn Shanks Dr. Karyn Shanks is a physician, speaker, and thought leader who brings together decades of experience in conventional medicine with a whole-person, integrative approach to healing.

    Waiting for Permission to Live Your Life?

    I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 What if the only thing standing between you and the life you want… is the permission you’re waiting for? In this solo episode of A Beautiful Fix, Tracy explores a pattern so many women fall into without even realizing it. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for clarity. Waiting for someone else to confirm what they already feel inside. From small everyday decisions to bigger life shifts, it’s easy to look outside ourselves for answers. But what happens when no one gives you the permission you’ve been waiting for? This episode is a real, honest conversation about self-trust, decision-making, and the subtle ways we outsource our power to external validation, expectations, and opinions. Tracy shares how this shows up in her own life, why it’s so common for women to second guess themselves, and how self-trust is actually built through small, consistent choices. She also introduces the concept of Human Design as a tool for understanding your unique decision-making style, helping you reconnect with your inner authority and trust the answers within. In this episode, we explore: • Why so many women wait for permission before making changes • How external validation keeps you stuck and second guessing yourself • The hidden ways you may be outsourcing your power • How self-trust is built in everyday decisions • Understanding your Human Design authority and inner guidance • What shifts when you stop waiting and start choosing If you’ve been feeling stuck, overthinking your next move, or looking for clarity outside of yourself, this episode will help you reconnect with what you already know. Because the truth is… no one is coming. And maybe that’s the permission you’ve been waiting for. Want More? Grab your Human Design chart here Want to unpack it together?

    How High-Achieving Women Can Create a Fulfilling Career Without Burning Out with Carrie Fabris

    I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 What if the problem isn’t your job… but how you’re approaching it? In this episode of A Beautiful Fix, Tracy sits down with leadership coach, speaker, and author Carrie Fabris to talk about how high-achieving women can build a fulfilling career without burning out trying to do it all. After two decades in leadership roles at companies like Google, Travelocity, and Sabre, Carrie reached a turning point. One afternoon while pushing her daughter on a swing, she asked herself a powerful question: “If I could do absolutely anything, what would it be?” That moment sparked a reinvention that led her to launch CareerFrame, where she now helps leaders and organizations redefine success through energy, alignment, and sustainable leadership. In this conversation, Tracy and Carrie explore why so many women feel pressure to “do it all,” and why managing your energy may matter far more than managing your time. Carrie shares practical tools and mindset shifts including: • Why success without energy alignment leads to burnout • The difference between managing time vs. managing energy • Her Return on Energy (ROE) concept • The VIBE Checklist, a framework for evaluating where your energy goes • Why putting yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s necessary • How emotional intelligence shapes leadership and decision-making Carrie also shares insights from her book ALL IN: A Working Mom’s Unapologetic Quest for a Juicy Life, where she explores how women can pursue ambitious careers while creating lives filled with energy, purpose, and joy.

    I Paid a Coach to Tell Me Who I Was… She Read Me a Poem Instead

    I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 Years ago, I paid a career coach a lot of money to tell me who I was. I showed up ready for answers about my career and my life. Instead… she read me a poem. At the time I didn’t fully understand why. But years later those words landed in a completely different way, and they’ve shaped how I see my life and the work I do today. In this episode, I’m sharing that story, the poem that stayed with me for years, and why learning to trust the wisdom within might be the most powerful thing we can do.

    Maybe There’s More to You Than You Realized

    I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 Have you ever pulled your Human Design chart and thought… this doesn’t feel like me? That was me. In this solo episode, I’m finally sharing how learning I was a Generator didn’t resonate at first — and what shifted when I actually understood what it meant. This isn’t a technical breakdown. It’s a real conversation about energy, frustration, self-trust, and what changed when I stopped fighting how I’m wired and started experimenting with it instead. We talk about: • What Generator energy actually means in real life • Why frustration is information • The power of responding instead of chasing • Micro-choices you can make when life doesn’t feel aligned • Why this matters even if you’re not a Generator Over 70% of the population are Generators or Manifesting Generators. Even if that’s not you, someone you love is. Understanding energy changes how you move, how you work, and how you relate. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s something about you that you’re overlooking, this one’s for you. Ready to explore your own design? Rediscover You An introduction to your Human Design energy.

    Knocked Down, Not Knocked Out: Finding Strength After Life Disrupts Everything (with Pam Sandrock)

    I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 What does real strength look like when life knocks you down? In this powerful conversation, Tracy sits down with Pam Sandrock to talk about resilience, identity, and what it truly means to rise after hardship. After navigating a cancer diagnosis and life-altering decisions, Pam shares how acceptance, self-trust, and honoring your truth can become the foundation for healing and growth. Together, they explore what it means to be “knocked down, not knocked out,” why midlife is not a crisis but a turning point, and how letting go of obligation and “shoulds” creates space for clarity, peace, and alignment. Pam reflects on redefining strength, embracing both weakness and resilience, and trusting that there is always something on the other side of the hardest seasons. This episode is for anyone who feels down, stuck, or overwhelmed by change and needs a reminder that even when life disrupts everything, there is still more life to be lived, more joy to be found, and more truth waiting to emerge.
