Training for the Life You Want

from Tracy Talks · host Tracy Glenn

In this episode of Tracy Talks, Tracy explores the quiet power of building a "creative incubator" through radical consistency and self-discipline. She explains that achieving long-term goals often requires prioritizing a strict personal schedule—like meditation, journaling, and healthy habits—over traditional social expectations. By treating her creative journey like training for a marathon, Tracy highlights the importance of finding joy in the ordinary and being okay with being misunderstood by others. She reminds us that "fun" is subjective, and sometimes the most fulfilling path is the one walked in solitude. Ultimately, showing up for yourself every day, even when the flow feels stuck, is the only way to turn a vision into reality.Highlights* The Creative Incubator: Why limiting social distractions and sticking to a “training schedule” is essential for deep work.* Redefining Fun: Embracing a life of peace, nature, and ordinary joys over risky behaviors or constant socializing.* The Marathon Mindset: How showing up daily and practicing self-forgiveness during “stuck” moments leads to long-term success.#ConsistencyIsKey #TracyTalks #CreativeProcess #MindfulLiving #JoyInTheOrdinary #PersonalGrowth #CreativeIncubator #SelfDiscipline #ShowUpForYourself #MarathonMindset #DeepWork #FindYourPeace #InternalGrowth #RoutineSuccess #SolitudeIsPower Get full access to Tracy Talks at tracytalks.substack.com/subscribe

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.  Trauma Talks : With Russ Tellup rtellup Hi, I’m Russ Tellup, a Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach and Level 1 Brainspotting practitioner.
