In this eye-opening episode of This Holistic Life, we explore the power of looking beyond symptoms and getting to the root cause of your stress, illness, or chronic conditions. Whether you’re dealing with recurring pain, anxiety, or long-standing health issues, true healing begins when you stop patching over the problem and start asking what’s really going on beneath the surface.
You’ll learn how internal dysfunctions, external stressors, and emotional or spiritual disconnects can all contribute to imbalance - and why treating symptoms alone is not enough. We also talk about how your care provider should be a partner in your healing journey, working with you to uncover the contributing causes and create a path forward for whole-person wellness.
If you’re ready for more than temporary relief, this episode will empower you to take a deeper, more intentional approach to your health.

In this powerful episode of This Holistic Life, we challenge the common mindset of simply managing stress and explore why it’s time to start eliminating it instead. Managing stress implies expecting it to stay - making room for it in your life and adjusting everything around its presence. But what if you didn’t have to live that way?
Drawing from her nursing background, Tracie explains how stress overload and ineffective coping show up in our health and offers a new, empowering perspective: you can release stress by addressing the root causes, removing what’s within your control, and learning to let go of what’s not.
You’ll walk away with practical tools like journaling, aromatherapy, ecotherapy, and mindfulness strategies to help you stop coping and start reclaiming your peace.
If you’re tired of being overwhelmed and ready to shift into a lifestyle of Radical Relaxation, this episode will show you the way.

In this compassionate and truth-filled episode of This Holistic Life, we’re exploring the honest question: Are you standing in the way of your own healing?
Drawing from years of nursing experience and real-life encounters with patients longing for wholeness, I share the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we often block our own healing—through unforgiveness, denying dysfunction, unresolved trauma, unhealthy habits, lack of self-compassion, and withholding the truth from those who could help us.
You’ll also hear practical, gentle guidance on how to get out of your own way, step into greater self-awareness, and begin walking toward the healing your body, mind, and spirit are craving.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode offers hope, clarity, and the reminder that healing is still possible—and it starts with you.

In this heartfelt episode of This Holistic Life, we explore what it means to embrace rest and relaxation in the midst of motherhood. From a biblical perspective, motherhood is a transformational, purifying, and sanctifying journey that draws us closer to God - but that doesn’t mean we’re meant to live constantly overwhelmed.
You’ll learn why choosing to relax as a mother isn’t selfish—it’s sacred. It honors your health, demonstrates self-respect, and sets a life-giving example for your children. I’ll also share practical ways to incorporate relaxation into your everyday rhythms—while cooking, cleaning, driving, or waiting - through simple practices like deep breathing, prayer, journaling, essential oils, and more.
This episode is a warm hug and a gentle invitation to give yourself grace, ask for help, and return to God for strength and peace.
And if you’d love even more ideas to help you relax and reclaim your well-being, be sure to check out my new book Radical Relaxation: Releasing the Stress You Were Never Meant to Carry.
