It's been a minute — and today, Tracey's telling you exactly why.In this episode, Tracey opens up about the five-month gap since her last recording (studio moves, summer chaos, and a real reckoning with a format that stopped feeling authentic), then takes you through the full story of how The Good Life Wellness Hub came to be — from a stay-at-home mom in Munich, to building a business in Arizona, to leading The Good Life Collective.She's redefining what "the good life" actually means to her — spoiler: it's not perfect, it's not polished, and it's definitely not done alone. Tracey also shares what she's been quietly building behind the scenes: a weekly newsletter, new creative projects, a deepening curiosity about voice-over work, and how she's leaning into AI as a tool — without losing her voice in the process.And she's announcing a big shift for the show itself: The Good Life is going interview-style.
