Tracy Erin Talks
About all things health, wellness, mindset, and motherhood…my favorite topics. Well, and tacos. Let’s talk about those too.
Join me for an honest conversation as we muse and amuse ourselves; where nothing is off the table and what we’re after is an exponential personal growth curve. Here you will find a refreshing and authentic way to look at things. Most days you’ll find a really warm hug and on somedays, a swift kick in the reality pants. But it’s all in love, dear friend, rest assured.
This is not a “look at me, but come with me” conversation where we will take a real-life look at things like:
🌱 Health & Wellness topics such as hormones, fatigue, low energy, mood swings, brain fog, toxicity, mold illness, the healing journey, and so much more.
🧠 Mindset is a highly-underutilized tool on any journey. Knowing that our inner world creates the environment of our outer world, we’ll talk about what holds us back from living the lives we know we were meant to live.
💝Motherhood will forever be my most profound and satisfying life’s work. As a homeschooling mom of five kids, I’ve been there, done that, AND got the t-shirt. I love chatting about the practicalities of managing a home, shepherding hearts, and how to create a family culture you’re proud of.
My mission is to transform 5,000 women’s lives by balancing their hormones so they can get out of survival mode and feel like themselves again!
If you’re looking for your new “Health BFF” who who has the curiosity to ask the big questions, the determination to find the answers, and the ability to find humor in it all, you are in the right place and I’m so glad you’re here!
