The real-life change actually looks like tiny, tiny shifts versus burning it all down to the ground.

Changing your life doesn't always happen according to the dates on the calendar. Change doesn't come with the seasons. Change also doesn't always knock before it enters. Change comes when it's ready to come. Sometimes, you play on its designated timeline (no matter how hard you seek to control it).

Today, we are talking about what "changing your life" actually looks like in real life - no bullshit, no fluff, no January 1st new years resolutions, just real and honest ways that change flows into our lives. Change comes when it's ready to come and we are honoring that today on the podcast. I also share how the winds of change are blowing in my life and how I teach this work because I also need it and use it just as much as you do.

This episode is fresh, it's real, it's unfiltered. (This is my favorite version of Kelly Trach BTW - the one that just speaks her truth openly. I also drop a lot of F-bombs in this episode because it's a part of the surrender process and admitting that sometimes you have no control). If you want a breath of fresh air, tune into today's show.

Woohoo! I'm so excited to share McKel Hill of Nutrition Stripped with you today! She's one of my favorite nutritionists to follow because her work is so approachable, human, and always delicious.

In this episode we talk about stress, burnout, and how to be compassionate with ourselves when we are feeling out of alignment. This episode is real and fresh. It's chalked full of implementable, simple tips in a real and honest way - which is true to the Nutrition Stripped style. 

McKel also shares what it's like when our body sends us intuitive hits, what these messages look like for her, and how you can develop this mind-body awareness too. So, when you feel like something is "off" tap in and see if your body is sending you this kind of message.

Plus, she dishes the deets about her morning routine and how you can borrow her favorite wellness tips for free. (One of my favorite things she shares is that love is a form of wellness). This episode is packed with great nuggets on wellness #IRL so that you can live whole, eat well, and feel amazing.

Today, we're talking about how vacations can be unsustainable. Life can feel like we are sprinting long distance and then we are rewarded with two weeks of doing absolutely nothing. 

Now that I am back from vacation, I'm sharing with you some of my a-ha moments that involve a lifestyle that's rooted in fun, play and rest daily so that we don't always need to feel like we are literally dying for a vacation. 

In this episode, we dive into social media breaks, intentional rest, and how play truly is productive. It's really in the moments that we play that we come to the million dollar idea or the new awakening, not after five back-to-back meetings feeling drained. Plus, I also talk about how you need to own the way in which you work and that your work style doesn't need to look like the "norm" or the "hustle" or the "traditional" methodology of achievement.

Meghan McCoy is a speaker, facilitator, and coach who I met through Rock Your Bliss and in today's episode, she explains how to find your core values, how to make choices from that space, and what living the values work looks like in real life.

We also talk about showing up and doing the work even when it's challenging and she explains how important it is to not rush through life and instead, honor where you're at in order to collect the opportunities, people, and experiences that are meant for you. Meghan also touches on the synchronicity of the Universe, how it's guided her and she shares about her upcoming climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, and to truly trust that life is happening for us, not to us.

In this episode, we also chat about following the rabbit holes of self-development that you feel magnetically pulled toward becuase those areas can awaken immense greatness for you if you choose to follow where you are called to go.

This episode with Meghan is bursting with juicy, implementable tips, real life examples, and goal setting methodologies for you to explore in your everyday life. I'm so excited to have Meghan here with us on the podcast, so tune it and grab your notebook. You'll want it handy when Meghan shares her truthbombs and nuggets of wisdom.

"But," "yeah but," and "I can't" are three phrases that require you to check in and critically think about the stories you are handcrafting for yourself. 

Often, we feel justified and rationalized in our "but" statements and we love dwelling in these narratives, repeating them, and acting as if these reasons are truly standing in our way. Nine out of ten times, you are the only person standing in your way and if you want to free yourself and get unstuck, I'll teach you how to take ownership for your thoughts. 

It's so liberating when you take personal responsibility for your own life and thought patterns. So today, I'll be teaching you how to get unstuck and free yourself in today's episode and I'll be deep diving into this in Your Best Life.

Cory Sterling is one of the coolest people I know - he's an entrepreneurial nomad, has traveled all over the globe, used to teach one of my favorite spin classes in town, and he's the founder of the online law firm Conscious Counsel. When I get email auto-reminders from him, they usually say things like "I'm hiking Mount Kilimanjaro" or "I'm pursuing my dream of reaching Everest Base Camp." Or, "I'm doing a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation." (Best out-of-office emails ever). 

Cory is also incredibly spiritual and has a presence like no other. You'll hear about his philosophies on life and his words are such a treat - especially because words like trust, faith, allowing, and honoring the journey can feel challenging at times.

This episode is jam-packed with rich words of inspiration on spirituality, evolution, consciousness, and what it means to live a good life. Cory gives us his input on how to strengthen our faith, how to take the leap, and develop trust in our life. Plus, he just finished living in an ashram in India for a month and we talk about the a-ha moments from that experience. Cory is truly living the Liz-Gilbert-meets-Tim-Ferriss lifestyle design and I am so honored to have him as my friend and an all-star lawyer.

P.S. I owe Cory huge thanks for doing all the backend legal work for kellytrach.com and all the love and devotion that went into setting up Your Best Life. If you're looking for a lawyer, I would highly, highly recommend Cory. (He also writes the kindest emails).

Boundaries can be awkward to set, enforce, and uphold. Today, I'm sharing with you the 3-step statement that I've handcrafted for myself and my coaching clients. It's easy, you can use it for any situation and it cushions the "blow" when you need to turn someone down, say no, or decline an invitation. 

We're also talking about how important it is to hold your ground and the reminder that just because someone asks you a personal question, it doesn't mean that you need to answer or you owe them a reply. In this episode, I also explain what to do when people push past your boundary statement and overstep your boundary.

It's such a treat to bring you Nicole Antoinette, host of the Real Talk Radio podcast. Today, we explore what real talk means in everyday life, how to be more human in daily situations, and how to start a more genuine conversation versus the typical: "so, what do you do for a living?" 

Most importantly, Nicole explains the frequent misconceptions of real talk. You'll learn that it's more about being true to your everyday life versus sitting down for a 6-hour deep conversation about your childhood trauma with your boss.

In this conversation, we also talk about Nicole's life motto of "we can do hard things" and how she believes that challenge, ease, and joy are all intertwined. Plus, Nicole recently returned from her long distance, thru-hike of the Arizona Trail and she shares about the mental toughness, physical toughness, and inner fortitude that was required for the journey.

I'm honored to be sharing Nicole with you because her podcast is one of my all-time favorites and her life philosophies, dedication, and pursuit for greater social change is deeply inspiring. So, I hope you love this episode, download her podcast, and check out her Pateron page to support her world-changing work.

Let's talk strategy because when it comes to self-development, that's the biggest part. Today I am teaching you HOW to go from point A to point B. I love guided steps, my coaching clients love steps, and on this episode, I am giving you the lowdown on HOW to live your best life and what is truly involved in that process.

At 33, Jessica Murnane had stage four endometriosis and was faced with a hysterectomy, so instead she overhauled her entire life to find a better way. Starting with her diet, Jessica make the switch to a plant-based one and crafted a way for herself to thrive with chronic illness.

In this episode, we talk about endometriosis, getting medical help and support #IRL, and how emotional and frustrating the process can be - especially when you have endometriosis since the diagnosis can take years. Jessica also share how to tune into your intuition and the hints your body sends you when you're feeling weirdly "off" but you just can't put your finger on it. 

Plus, we also chat about being your real self, showing up as you are, and owning your story versus shying away or being embarrassed about it. This episode is such a stellar one and a must listen for anyone with endometriosis or really bad periods becuase you might resonate with what Jessica shares today.

Jessica Murnane's guest interview was the one I've been looking forward to the most because her work has impacted me so greatly. (No joke when I say that if it wasn't for Jessica, I wouldn't be doing this gig because she really sparked the flame). I hope you love this episode just as much as I did.
