In-Bodied
Welcome to In-Bodied with Tracy Kerkhoff, the podcast for women in their 40s who are done shrinking, done people-pleasing, and so ready to reclaim their glow.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought “Who even is she?” … this is your space. We’re talking perimenopause hormones (and all the messy feels that come with them), mom-life meltdowns, marriages that need more spark, and yes sex, self-worth, and finding yourself again in the middle of it all.
This isn’t about chasing your 20s. It’s about owning your 40s stronger, wiser, sexier, and more in-bodied than ever.
Expect raw, real talk with zero filters. Some days it’ll feel like a pep talk from your life coach, and some days like a wine-night vent session with your girlfriends. Either way, you’ll leave remembering this: your spark isn’t gone it’s just waiting for you to claim it back.

Ep14 The Missing Piece- Learning to Receive
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Tracy dives deep into one of the hardest but most transformational shifts for midlife women learning how to receive.
For decades, we’ve been programmed to perform, push, and prove our worth as mothers, partners, professionals, and caretakers. But perimenopause changes everything. Your body, your energy, and your emotions all start asking for something different: ease, softness, and authenticity.
Tracy shares the truth about what’s keeping women stuck in over-functioning mode and how to break free from the guilt, self-sabotage, and belief that we have to “earn” everything love, rest, or even joy.
You’ll walk away with tangible tools to start shifting from drive to flow, and from performance to presence so you can finally receive the good things life is trying to hand you.
✨ The “push cycle” — why women in midlife feel stuck in constant doing
✨ The deep emotional wounds that drive over-giving and self-sabotage
✨ How worthiness impacts our ability to receive love, success, and support
✨ The energetic frequency of receiving — how to get into flow and ease
✨ Real-life examples from Tracy’s own story of learning to receive
✨ Simple mindset + body shifts that help you open up to abundance
“Receiving isn’t weakness it’s the posture of a woman who finally knows her worth.”
