Why Your Life (and Wealth) Truly Begins at 40
Jul 04, 2025
In this soul-stirring episode, we explore the emotional and mental crossroads that many face in their 40s. You may find yourself asking, “Is this all there is?”, “Shouldn’t I be further along?”, or “Am I living up to my true potential?” These questions aren’t signs of failure—they're signs you're ready to wake up, reflect, and rise.
You'll discover why the so-called “midlife crisis” is actually a midlife awakening, and why your 40s are not the end, but rather, the beginning of a new era of clarity, power, and possibility.

About the Host:

Hello! I’m Tracy
As an entrepreneur, I have achieved the life of my dreams and I know with my entire being that you can too.
I have spent my entire life deeply intrigued about making money. How do you make it? How do you keep it? Why do some people get rich while so many remain poor?
I firmly believe that abundance is our birthright and that the best path to personal wealth is through entrepreneurship. However, no where in life are we taught what it takes to build true wealth. We are taught to ignore our passions, get a career, become a great employee, get married, have 2.5 children, and hopefully be healthy enough to travel the World when we retire. That system is lonnnnnng broken.
That is no longer enough.
People crave independence, meaning, and wealth.
And thankfully, now more than ever, financial abundance is available to each and every one of us.
I have done it! As an entrepreneur, I have achieved the life of my dreams and I know with my entire being that you can too.
