In celebration of National Author’s Day, Tracy Markley shares how writing her very first book completely transformed her life — and how your story has the power to transform yours as well.

When Tracy published The Stroke of an Artist, she had no idea it would lead to speaking opportunities, national recognition, awards, magazine features, media interviews, and collaborations with inspiring people like Elaine LaLanne. What began as one book became the foundation for her entire author journey.

If you’ve ever felt a pull to write but didn’t know where to begin, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a reminder that your story matters.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR:

• How writing a first book can open unexpected doors and life-changing opportunities
• The mindset shift that helped Tracy turn passion into purpose and profession
• Why sharing your story creates connection, healing, and legacy
• How to start your own book even if you feel unsure, overwhelmed, or not “ready”
• Why writing is a gift — for the writer and the reader

Your book is more than an idea — it’s your legacy. Your words can inspire, educate, heal, and empower others. If you’ve ever felt called to write, this episode will help you take that first courageous step.
