It's me, Hi! I'm Tracy, its me. I'm a 44 year old unapologetic Swiftie, wife, boy mom, exchange student host mom, & pet mom.
Give me a black decaf espresso, 9pm bedtimes, a good storm, a new Taylor Swift vinyl, and a stack of young adult fiction and I’m happy.
Born & raised in rural Illinois— I grew up homeschooled, riding horses, 4H-ing, climbing trees & singing in the rain. I have all those midwest values- like chatting with strangers, hugs all around, and I'm horrid at saying goodbye.

" This Is The Plan"
I earned my degree in 2006 with a focus in Film Photography and launched my first business, Fully Alive Photography, that October. What started as a love for storytelling through images quickly grew into something bigger — because running a business taught me firsthand how much more is required beyond creative talent to run a successful life-giving business.
Like so many entrepreneurs, I discovered the steep learning curve of marketing, branding, systems, and strategy. Out of that struggle, I created The Launch Course — a way to help other small business owners skip the trial-and-error and get the clarity and tools they need from the start.
Over time, the course grew into something larger: The begging stages of Fully Alive Agency came to life in 2020. It was built on the belief that you shouldn’t have to piece your business together from a dozen different sources, the agency brings everything under one roof — education, strategy, systems, design, branding, photography, and creative direction. My goal has always been the same: to cut the overwhelm, elevate your brand, and make the journey joyful & life-giving again.
