A Beautiful Fix | Midlife Burnout, Human Design & Reinvention

Years ago, I paid a career coach a lot of money to tell me who I was.

I showed up ready for answers about my career and my life.

Instead… she read me a poem.

At the time I didn’t fully understand why. But years later those words landed in a completely different way, and they’ve shaped how I see my life and the work I do today.

In this episode, I’m sharing that story, the poem that stayed with me for years, and why learning to trust the wisdom within might be the most powerful thing we can do.

In this episode of A Beautiful Fix, I’m joined by Kim Costa, founder of Lifestyle Foundations and author of Live in Your Wheelhouse, for a powerful conversation about alignment, environment, and the way our homes reflect who we’re becoming.

We talk about what it really means to live “in your wheelhouse” — not just in your career, but in your physical space, your relationships, your lifestyle, and your energy. Kim shares how she went from living out of alignment as an accountant on a remote farm to redesigning her life and career around authenticity, creativity, and connection.

If you’ve ever looked around your home and thought, something feels off… this episode is for you.

We explore:

• How your home can either support or drain your energy
• The connection between your nervous system and your environment
• The Wheel of Life framework and identifying your biggest pain points
• When to stay, renovate, or move
• The emotional power of decluttering
• How multi-generational living is becoming a rising trend
• Why alignment starts with knowing yourself

Kim also shares her powerful story of breaking her back on what she calls “Clarity Farm” and the wake-up call that followed — a moment that ultimately led her to rebuild her life in alignment.

If you’re in a season of reinvention, transition, or simply craving more clarity, this conversation will help you think differently about the space you wake up in every day.

Have you ever pulled your Human Design chart and thought… this doesn’t feel like me? That was me.

In this solo episode, I’m finally sharing how learning I was a Generator didn’t resonate at first — and what shifted when I actually understood what it meant.

This isn’t a technical breakdown. It’s a real conversation about energy, frustration, self-trust, and what changed when I stopped fighting how I’m wired and started experimenting with it instead.

We talk about:

• What Generator energy actually means in real life

• Why frustration is information

• The power of responding instead of chasing

• Micro-choices you can make when life doesn’t feel aligned

• Why this matters even if you’re not a Generator

Over 70% of the population are Generators or Manifesting Generators. Even if that’s not you, someone you love is. Understanding energy changes how you move, how you work, and how you relate.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s something about you that you’re overlooking, this one’s for you.

What does real strength look like when life knocks you down?

In this powerful conversation, Tracy sits down with Pam Sandrock to talk about resilience, identity, and what it truly means to rise after hardship. After navigating a cancer diagnosis and life-altering decisions, Pam shares how acceptance, self-trust, and honoring your truth can become the foundation for healing and growth.

Together, they explore what it means to be “knocked down, not knocked out,” why midlife is not a crisis but a turning point, and how letting go of obligation and “shoulds” creates space for clarity, peace, and alignment. Pam reflects on redefining strength, embracing both weakness and resilience, and trusting that there is always something on the other side of the hardest seasons.

This episode is for anyone who feels down, stuck, or overwhelmed by change and needs a reminder that even when life disrupts everything, there is still more life to be lived, more joy to be found, and more truth waiting to emerge.

In this episode, we cover:

• What “knocked down, not knocked out” really means in hard seasons
• Healing, resilience, and acceptance after cancer
• Letting go of guilt, obligation, and the pressure to be everything
• Why midlife is a moment of curiosity, not crisis
• Finding strength, peace, and clarity through self-trust
• How stillness, journaling, and presence support emotional healing
• Becoming an elder, guide, or source of wisdom for the next generation

On this episode of A Beautiful Fix, Tracy Hill sits down with Lyndsey Kampen, founder of Design the Life You Love with Lenz, for a conversation about Human Design, nervous system healing, and learning to live in alignment with your own energy. Lyndsey shares her journey from hustle and burnout in design and corporate work to building a life and business rooted in intuition, presence, and energetic alignment. They explore how understanding your Human Design type, especially as a manifesting generator, can provide clarity and relief, helping you embrace your natural rhythms instead of resisting them. We also dive into tools that support nervous system regulation such as meditation, walking in nature, journaling, breathwork, and sound healing with chakra‑aligned bowls, plus how unlearning people‑pleasing and rewiring ambition can reduce burnout. This episode is perfect for listeners interested in personal development, energy psychology, mindful living, intentional business design, and practical ways to stop living on autopilot and start designing a life you actually love.

Connect with Lyndsey Kampen and Design the Life You Love with Lenz to explore Human Design, alignment coaching, and sound healing tools that support energetic well‑being.

What Will You Do With Your One Wild and Precious Life?

In this solo episode of A Beautiful Fix, Tracy Hill explores a powerful question that gets at the heart of purpose, self‑prioritization, and intentional living. Inspired by a line from poet Mary Oliver — “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — Tracy reflects on what it truly means to choose yourself, face the fear of judgment, and live with more authenticity in 2026 and beyond. Building on her 2026 theme of bringing selfish back and letting go of other people’s opinions, Tracy breaks down this quote and offers gentle encouragement to rethink success, reclaim personal agency, and create a life that feels meaningful. This episode is perfect for listeners interested in intentional living, self‑care and self‑prioritization, overcoming fear of others’ opinions, and discovering purpose in everyday choices.

In this episode of A Beautiful Fix we explore how money, mindset, and personal empowerment intersect in real life. I sit down with Laura Rotter, founder of True Abundance Advisors and host of the Making Change With Your Money podcast, to go beyond financial spreadsheets and into the energy of money, confidence, and redefining success for women in midlife. Laura shares her transition from nearly 30 years on Wall Street to becoming a heart‑centered financial advisor who blends practical financial planning with mindfulness and purpose. We talk about how women often feel insecure about money, how lifestyle and identity get tangled with wealth, and how simple financial habits like knowing your cash flow and net worth can reduce anxiety and build clarity.

Laura explains common money patterns that hold women back, offers straightforward advice for financial confidence and entrepreneurship planning, and emphasizes the importance of aligning your finances with your values. Whether you are thinking about retirement, scaling your business, or just want to rethink your relationship with money, this episode invites you to explore true abundance, financial empowerment, budgeting insights, and the emotional side of wealth.

🎙️ Know someone who should be a guest?...

I didn’t wake up on January 1st as a fully transformed version of myself. No perfect plan. No mapped-out year. No “new year, new me” energy. Instead, I felt tired, a little behind, and honestly ready to stop making myself wrong for choosing my own rhythm.

In this first solo episode of 2026, I’m sharing a more honest way to begin the year. One that honors seasonal energy, personal pace, and the quiet wisdom of slowing down instead of forcing forward momentum.

We talk about:

• Letting go of New Year pressure and unrealistic expectations
• Choosing peace, slow, and calm instead of productivity and hustle
• What it really looks like to listen to yourself without guilt
• Why being “selfless” has been glorified at the expense of women’s well-being
• Reclaiming the word selfish in a grounded, responsible, self-trusting way

This episode introduces a theme I’m leaning into deeply this year: bringing selfish back. Not the reckless kind. The honest kind. The kind where you stop overriding your body, intuition, and truth just to keep everyone else comfortable.

If you’re feeling tired of performing, tired of pressure, or tired of postponing yourself, this conversation is an invitation to do less on purpose and start the year in a way that actually feels good.

Is Hidden Shame Running the Show Behind the Scenes?

Shame doesn’t always show up as shame. Sometimes it disguises itself as overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or playing small. In this powerful panel conversation hosted by Dana Fradella, I sat down with a group of brilliant women to talk about the many faces of shame — the conscious, the unconscious, and the ones we didn’t know we were still carrying.

We talked about what it really means to release shame, how it lingers in the body, and why remembering your worth isn’t just a mindset shift — it’s a whole-body experience.

Spoiler: I shared things I didn’t plan to share. Dana has a way of drawing that out of you.

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t really struggle with shame,” this might be the exact episode for you.

PS — If you’ve been thinking about booking a 1:1 Human Design session, now’s the time. Prices go up in January. Let’s start the year with clarity you can feel.

Panelists & Where to Find Them:

• Dana Hunter Fradella — Host of Girls Who Recover Podcast
• Kena Siu — Host of Midlife Butterfly Podcast
• Casey Taton — Host of Inner Spark Podcast 
• Jen Chambers — Host of Beyond the Margins & Same Crime, Different Time
