What if we’ve been given the wrong story about aging?

In this episode of A Beautiful Fix, Tracy sits down with intimacy expert Susan Bratton for a candid conversation about desire, connection, pleasure, and why some things actually do get better with age.

Susan shares her own journey from Silicon Valley executive to one of the world’s leading voices on intimacy and sexual wellness. Together, they explore why so many women disconnect from this part of themselves, the difference between sex and intimacy, how pleasure impacts confidence and vitality, and why intimacy can be viewed as a skill set that continues to grow throughout life.

This conversation isn’t just about sex. It’s about possibility. It’s about self-trust. It’s about questioning the idea that certain parts of life have an expiration date.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why intimacy and pleasure don’t have to decline with age
• The difference between sex, connection, and orgasmic intimacy
• How cultural conditioning shapes the way women think about desire
• Why pleasure, confidence, and vitality are more connected than we realize
• The role communication plays in creating deeper intimacy
• Why many women are told the wrong story about aging
• Susan’s concept of the Upward Pleasure Spiral and how intimacy can continue to evolve throughout life
• What becomes possible when women stop assuming the best part is behind them

Whether you’re curious about intimacy, navigating midlife, looking to deepen connection in your relationship, or simply interested in what it means to feel more alive, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

You already know how to be kind to others. But how kind are you to yourself? In this episode we get into Ahimsa, the first of the ancient yogic principles called the Yamas and Niyamas, and what it actually means to practice non violence toward yourself. Spoiler: it starts with how you talk to yourself when nobody is listening. Plus a miniature llama named Yama who somehow ended up at the center of all of it. Come for the llama. Stay for the thousand year old wisdom.

Some seasons just suck. And if you are in one right now, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode you are going to hear the story of Deanna, a woman who turned her husband's eight hour chemotherapy sessions into weekly picnic adventures, complete with a pretend flight to Italy, first class and coach included. Her story is going to change how you think about hard things.

You are also going to learn why resisting the hard stuff makes it harder, what Buddhism and yogic philosophy have taught for thousands of years about suffering and attachment, and where the phrase embrace the suck actually came from.

By the time this episode is over you will have a new framework for the hard seasons, a permission slip to stop labeling things as good or bad, and one practical question to ask yourself the next time life gets heavy.

This one is for the woman in the middle of something hard who needs a reminder that getting through it is its own kind of beautiful.

What happens when women reconnect to themselves?

In this episode, I’m joined by Elana Auerbach for a conversation about intimacy, pleasure, self-trust, embodiment, and why so many women feel disconnected from this part of themselves in the first place.

This episode is about connection. To your body. To your desires. To your nervous system. To the parts of yourself you may have stopped listening to somewhere along the way.

Elana shares her deeply personal story of stepping off what she calls “the conveyor belt of life,” leaving a marriage that looked good on paper but didn’t feel aligned in her body, and eventually creating a weekly “pleasure practice” with her husband that completely transformed their intimacy and relationship.

We talk about:

• why intimacy can feel uncomfortable or vulnerable
• what happens when women disconnect from their bodies
• pleasure and nervous system regulation
• trusting your body’s signals
• the power of slowing down
• feminine energy, embodiment, and self-acceptance
• why intimacy is something we practice, not just something that happens

Elana is the creator of the Sure Thing LOVE Experiment and author of The Sure Thing: A Pleasure Practice to Revive the Spark.

Elana is also gifting listeners a free guided visualization:
A Journey to Connect and Deepen With Your Wild Sensual Self

What would you do if the voice in your head talked you out of one of the most important moments of your life? In this episode I am taking you on a road trip to rural Tennessee — to a 1,400 acre spiritual retreat founded by world-renowned yogi Sadhguru, and to the back roads where my grandfather's land sits quiet and waiting. Two destinations. Two completely different kinds of humbling. And one voice I call Mr. No who almost made sure neither one happened. This is a story about fear, curiosity, ancestral connection, and what becomes possible when you stop listening to the chatter in your mind and go back anyway. If you have been waiting for a sign to explore something new, visit somewhere that is calling you, or simply be a beginner again — this one is for you.

There’s a difference between knowing what to do… and actually trusting yourself enough to do it.

In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation that originally aired on The Human Design Podcast, where Emma Dunwoody takes me through a live Human Design session.

And let’s just say… it got real.

We talk a lot about self-trust, listening to your body, and finding your own answers. But in this conversation, I had to face where I was still getting in my own way—overthinking, second-guessing, and looking outside myself for validation.

Together, we unpack what was actually keeping me stuck… and chances are, you’ll recognize yourself in it too.

In this episode, we explore:

• Human Design and how it reveals your unique decision-making style
• Emotional authority and why timing matters more than you think
• The real reason you keep second-guessing yourself
• Overthinking, self-doubt, and the “stories” that keep you stuck
• Why we teach what we need to learn—and how to start living it

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, unsure of your next move, or disconnected from your own inner guidance, this conversation will hit in all the right ways.

This episode originally aired on The Human Design Podcast and is shared here with permission. Be sure to check out the original episode and more of Emma’s work on her podcast.

🎧 Press play and start seeing what might be keeping you stuck… so you can finally move forward.

I’ve been saying goodbye a lot lately…

And it’s made me think about how fast life moves, how little control we actually have over time, and how much of our energy we spend worrying about things that don’t matter.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing some personal reflections on loss, grief, and the perspective that comes from experiencing more goodbyes than you expected. This isn’t a heavy episode. It’s actually a reminder. A powerful one.

Because when you really sit with it…

life becomes a little clearer.

We talk about:

• The reality of loss and how it shifts your perspective
• Why time feels like it’s speeding up (and what to do with that awareness)
• Letting go of the small things that don’t matter
• What truly matters at the end of life
• How to live more intentionally and fully right now

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, caught up in the day-to-day, or stuck in things that don’t feel important… this episode might bring you back to what actually is.

And this week’s invitation:

If the train keeps moving no matter what…

what do you want to do with the time you have?
