Extraordinary By Design Menopause & Life Transition Coach | Cobourg
Helping high-achieving women navigate burnout, menopause, and life transitions.

Reconnect to yourself and move forward on your own terms. Discover Your Guiding Pillar Quiz : https://bit.ly/guiding-pillar-quiz I work with high-achieving women navigating menopause, burnout, and life transitions. For many, there comes a moment where what once worked no longer feels aligned. The pace, the pressure, the expectations… it all begins to catch up. This is a space to slow down, listen

within, and reconnect to yourself. Through 1:1 and group experiences, I guide you back to what feels true, grounded, and aligned so you can move forward on your own terms.

This is what starting looks like.
Somewhere along the way I said yes to me, and moments like this are proof it was worth it.

Believe in you. It's worth it.

Thank you to my clients, friends, and family for supporting this leg of the journey.

September is coming. If you're ready to stop waiting and start — book a free 30-minute Clarity Conversation. Link in bio.

August was a lot.

Tackling Tuesdays that named things you'd been carrying.
A room of 1,000 women that reminded me why this work exists.
Posts that, based on your DMs and comments this month, landed somewhere specific for a lot of you.

And I want to close August the same way I try to close every month:

With an honest invitation.

Not a pitch. Not a countdown. Not a strategy.

An invitation, from the version of you that has been quietly nodding along all month, to finally stop watching from the outside.

You don't need more information.
You don't need to feel ready.
You don't need to have it figured out before you reach out.

September is the month for the woman who is done making herself wait.

Who has been almost long enough.
Who has been the strong one for long enough.
Who has been asking everyone else's version of "what do you want" for long enough.

Who is finally, quietly, ready to answer it for herself.

That woman has always been worthy.

She was born worthy.

Extraordinary by Design exists to help her remember it.

The Clarity Conversation is thirty minutes, completely free, and it's just you and me.

No performance required.
No perfect version of yourself needed.
Just the one who's here.

Link is in my bio.

I'll see you in September.

Where have you limited your ability to receive?
Ask for the help, it isn't a sign of weakness or loss of Independence.
It's a sign that you are as open to receive vs always just giving!

Be kind to yourself, life isn't meant to be all about giving and in frustration!!!

Feel the love be open to receive even when you feel the resistance. Generally that's where we have some inner work to do!

Not sure how to manage all of that? That's why I'm here.

DM me directly or comment below where you resist the ability to receive.

On September 9th, I'm joining an extraordinary panel of women for Segment 3 of the Women's Burnout Recovery Blueprint Summit — and we're talking about exactly this.

Recalibrating your nervous system.
Restoring flow.
Building sustainable energy from the inside out — not through pushing harder, but through finally working with your body instead of against it.

This is the conversation I wish someone had started with me years earlier.

The summit is completely free.

If your body has been quietly asking you to pay attention — this is the invitation to do exactly that.

Comment READY below, and I'll send you the quiz link directly; no readiness required.

She wasn't ready.

She told me that herself.

She had been watching - this account, this work, these posts - for the better part of a year. Reading. Saving. Nodding at the things that landed.

Waiting to feel ready.

Here is what I know about ready:

It does not arrive before you move.
It arrives because you moved.

Every woman who has stepped into this work, into the Guiding Pillar Quiz, into a Clarity Conversation, into the community, has felt not-quite-ready walking in.

And has never once regretted walking in anyway.

Swipe through her story.

And if you've been watching from the edges, waiting to feel more sure, more clear, more something, I want to offer you this:

You don't need to be ready. You just need to move.

Comment READY, and I'll send you the quiz link. Four minutes. No readiness required.

Happy Tackling Tuesday. Episode 4 of 4 - the series finale.

This month, we've been naming the things nobody says.

We named the almost.
We named the cost of being the strong one.
We named what a room full of the right women changes.

Today we name the question underneath all of it.

The one nobody thinks to ask at midlife.
The one that gets buried under roles and responsibilities and the logistics of keeping a life running.

What do you actually want?

Not what you're supposed to want.
Not the answer that would make everyone comfortable.
Not the version that fits neatly into what's expected of a woman at this stage.

What do you, the woman underneath all of it, actually want your life to feel like?

Not to look like. Feel like.

I have asked women this question for twenty-five years.

Most of them pause for longer than they expect to.

Because we have spent so long answering everyone else's version of that question that our own answer has gone quiet.

It hasn't disappeared. It's waiting.

The Guiding Pillar Quiz is where we start listening for it.

Four minutes. Link in bio.

September is for the woman who is done waiting for permission to want what she wants.

Are you ready?

I can’t believe a week has passed since Powerhouse Women and here we are in the last week of August.

This month has been incredibly full. Energy shifting within and around me in ways I am still integrating.

If something in this month has been quietly sending you nudges, I would love to connect and talk about moving through what has been calling you.

Scottsdale was everything I knew it would be and a few things I didn’t expect.

The speakers were extraordinary. The energy was real. The connections were the kind that don’t dissolve when you leave the room.

Here’s what has been showing up for me since I got home.

Women are hungry for permission.

Permission to take up space.
Permission to need something.
Permission to trust their desires and share them openly without first making sure everyone else is comfortable.

What I witnessed repeatedly is that the permission arrives not from being told you are allowed. It arrives from not being alone in what you are experiencing. From being seen. From realizing the woman next to you has been carrying the same thing.

This happened almost immediately. I felt it happen for me and I watched it happen for the women around me.

"Keep your promises to you."

I built Extraordinary by Design to inspire women to trust themselves and believe the only permission needed is their own.

A space where you don’t have to feel anxious about being honest and open.
Where your worthiness is not up for discussion.
Where the woman you’ve been quietly becoming finally has somewhere to arrive.

If this month has stirred something in you. If you have been nodding along, aware of what is nudging you but hesitating to lean into the discomfort; I want you to know this is your moment.

"Ready is a decision, not a feeling. You are never going to feel ready until you have already done it. The only way to get ready is to do it." Katie Bryan

Follow your soul. Get out of your head. Stop letting yourself down.

Reflecting on the moment I almost didn't go.

The stories started to surface.
The timing isn't right.
Maybe next year.
Everyone is so much younger.
Fear of not being enough.

It wasn't until I took time to lean into the resistance with an awareness of what was really holding me back. Past versions of me that felt more comfortable staying in what I know.

So I decided to practice what I preach. The room you almost talk yourself out of is exactly the room you need.

I went.

I had the opportunity to be in a room full of extraordinary women who refuse to play small.

I had time with Lindsey, the founder of Powerhouse Women. Someone whose work I have followed from a distance for years. A moment I always believed would come.

What I didn't anticipate was the absolute feeling of comfort and of being at home.

This moment?

This is what happens when you stop waiting for the right time and start trusting that you were always meant to be here.

I don't share this to impress you.

I share it because I know some of you are standing in your own phase of resistance from entering the room. With your stories talking you out of the opportunity.

Lean into the resistance. Follow the nudge to step into the discomfort and get out of your head.

The women on the other side of that door are waiting for you. And you are more ready than you think.

If you keep finding yourself outside the rooms you actually want to be in, I want to talk to you.

You have let yourself down for the last time.

Save this for the next time you talk yourself out of something that scares you.
🤍

Extraordinarily, Tracey.

Ever feel like you’re holding two realities at once?

One moment you’re energized and seeing the light, the next you’re feeling the weight of frustration.

The truth is, you have a choice. You can stay in that lower frequency where everything looks like an obstacle, or you can shift your awareness to see the opportunity.

Which path are you choosing today?

Let’s work on shifting your perspective.
