Episode notes

Ever feel torn between the responsibilities you have to carry and the dream you can't stop thinking about?

In this episode, I sit down with Tracy Powell, entrepreneur and Founder of The House of IsA, a luxury women's and men's wear brand. Tracy walks us through her leap from a successful real estate career into fashion: the doubt, the tough money conversations with her husband, the sacrifices (including downsizing), and the faith that kept her moving.

In this conversation, we talk about:

✔ Recognizing the signs that it's time for a change

✔ Why the dream you've dismissed as a "hobby" may be pointing to your purpose

✔ What it really took to leave a stable career and downsize for a bigger calling

✔ Taking small, practical first steps toward what you want

✔ Why a strong support system matters
