Calling all my fall-loving, book-obsessed girlfriends. This one’s for you.

I’m recording this with a suitcase to pack and a plane to catch because my husband and I are heading to Colorado to celebrate 30 years of marriage. THIRTY. We’ve known each other for 40 years, and I genuinely have no idea how that happened.

But before I go, I have some things to tell you.

First, can we talk about fall? The sweaters, the bookstores, the crisp air, the excuse to stay home with a good book. I’m obsessed. And apparently, all this fall energy has me on a creative tear because I’ve been building something for you.

Introducing the A Beautiful Fix Bookshelf!

I’ve gathered the books my podcast guests have written and recommended into one curated library. It’s full of incredible reads, and I’ll keep adding to it with every new episode.

And speaking of books, we’re having a girls’ night in!

On November 12 at 7 PM Central, I’m hosting a free virtual book club with Kristy Halvorsen, author of Perfect Unfolding, a memoir about seven years of solo travel, unexpected adventures, and following the life that’s calling you.

Think cozy blankets, something warm to drink, and an evening hanging out with the author herself. Cameras on or off, book finished or unfinished. Come as you are.

In this episode:

• Celebrating 30 years of marriage (and wondering where the time went)
• Why fall will forever be my favorite season
• My brand-new bookshelf of guest-recommended books
• A free virtual book club with author Christy Halverson
• A little reminder from Mother Nature about the beauty of letting go

What if fear isn’t a sign to stop, but an invitation to become who you were always meant to be?

In this episode of A Beautiful Fix, Tracy sits down with Samantha Norman, brand strategist and founder of Cradle to Grave Creative, for a conversation about fear, identity, starting over, and what happens when the life you thought you were supposed to want falls apart.

After losing her mom, her marriage, her home, and eventually a job she loved, Samantha found herself starting over and asking a question many of us eventually face: Who am I now?

Samantha shares what it took to stop living from fear, why courage doesn’t mean waiting until you’re no longer afraid, and how one simple question, “Why not?” helped her begin building a life on her own terms.

Tracy and Samantha also explore the difference between fear that warns us and fear that shows up when we’re expanding, why so many of us are more afraid of looking stupid than actually starting, and Samantha’s “Who Before What” philosophy. Before we figure out what to say, sell, build, or do next, we have to understand who we really are.

Plus, Tracy dives into Samantha’s Human Design as a 6/2 Sacral Manifesting Generator and the season of life she’s in now, one where she’s learning she doesn’t have to push, rush, or treat everything like an emergency.

In this episode:
• Doing it scared and learning to move with fear instead of letting it make your decisions
• Starting over when the life you built no longer fits
• The question “Why not?” and what it can reveal about the stories holding you back
• Fear versus intuition and recognizing when discomfort is actually growth
• Why authenticity matters in life, not just in business
• Samantha’s “Who Before What” approach to personal branding
• Why you may not be afraid to start, you may be afraid to look stupid
• Samantha’s 6/2 Sacral Manifesting Generator Human Design
• Slowing down, trusting yourself, and realizing not everything is an emergency

Connect with Samantha:
Find Samantha on Instagram at @SammiNormanFit. If you’d like to take her up on her offer of an intro call and 90-day action plan, just send her a DM and let her know you heard her on A Beautiful Fix.

If this conversation leaves you with one question, let it be this: What would you do if fear didn’t get to make the decision?

I have had three near death experiences in my life. Whitewater rapids in Ontario. A riptide as a toddler. A frozen glove on a ski lift with my father. And in every single one of them the only thing that saved me was surrender.

That is where today's episode begins.

This is the tenth and final principle in the Yamas and Niyamas series and it is called Ishvara Pranidhana. It translates as surrender, or devotion to something greater than yourself. And it is not about giving up. It is about releasing your grip on the outcome and trusting that life knows something you do not.

In this episode we get into what surrender actually looks like in everyday life, the difference between contraction and expansion and how to recognize which one you are in, why savasana at the end of yoga class is one of the most important practices there is, the three stories from my own life where letting go was the only way through, and what Deborah Adele writes in The Yamas and Niyamas about melting into the stream instead of fighting the current.
