Traci Schubert Barrett

As self-employed people, we set out to run our own businesses, take charge of our lives, create some freedom, and do big things.  We set out to make ourselves successful and happy, yet when we achieve this success, sometimes we find ourselves wondering, “is this it?” We find ourselves wanting even more. I speak with Traci Schubert Barrett  today to find out how to find contentment in our lives even after we’ve met our goals. As Traci and I discuss, we often measure our success using external factors such as wealth, fame, and power, but true happiness and fulfillment come from finding meaning and purpose beyond these external markers.  As self-employed business owners, it is important for us to have a vision for our lives, including professional and personal goals, so we can avoid feeling discontented by identifying the significance beyond our success. Traci Schubert Barrett was one of the founding team members of national cable television network HGTV. After thirty years of experience in corporate America, Traci began to wonder, what if there’s more to our vocational lives than success? In a leap of faith, she quit her executive job and went on a soul-searching journey. Today, Traci is an entrepreneur, podcast host, speaker, author and executive coach who helps others in their search for meaning beyond success. Her new book, What if There's More? Finding Significance Beyond Success shares the details of her soul-searching journey that led her to where she is today and equips readers to do the same. Traci lives with her husband and two daughters in Nashville, Tennessee.

850: Traci Schubert Barrett – Beyond Success: What if There’s More?

"For some of us, we need to fall back into what we're doing," says Traci Schubert Barrett. "And for some of us, we need to leave." As a founding team member for HGTV, Schubert Barrett had reached the proverbial top of the corporate mountain and had everything she could want — success, a happy marriage, a family, even financial freedom. Yet she found herself wondering, “Is there more?” Despite being able to walk the C-suite of one of America's largest TV networks, she chose to leave and pursue the answer to that question. In this intimate conversation with CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour, Schubert Barrett discusses how she discovered her “more” and found true, sustainable fulfillment. Listen in for her insights on how to navigate your own journey of career reinvention, even if you're not sure where to begin.   JOIN TRACI SCHUBERT BARRETT FOR A COVEYCLASS We’ve gone through all the predetermined mile markers set before us, checked all the boxes, and now society tells us we have only one mile marker left to pass - retirement. Or do we? We are living in an age that has begun to redefine retirement along with how and when we work. What does this mean for us at midlife and how can we reimagine the second half of our life in a way that matches who we are today? And what about those pressing questions that arise at this stage of our life: Who am I really? What do I want? Is there more out there for me? Wrestling with these questions is natural, especially in this post-pandemic world. Having the answers is not. Traci Schubert Barrett, entrepreneur, podcast host, and author of the new book What If There's More: Finding Significance Beyond Success, will give us a framework to redefine success on our own terms, decide what we want from the second half of life, and challenge us to embrace a life that is significant to ourselves and those around us.   Connect with Traci Instagram LinkedIn Facebook   Bio Former HGTV executive Traci Schubert Barrett has been there. As a founding team member of the cable television network, Traci achieved what most would define as the pinnacle of success—office in downtown Chicago, traveling all over the country for work, rubbing elbows with HGTV talent—but, the longer she held that position, the more dissatisfied she felt with her life. She began to wonder, “What if there’s more?” So, she took the risk of her life, walked away from her comfortable corporate job, and devoted time to finding significance in her life beyond professional success.   Now, as a woman in midlife, Traci has found her purpose. As an executive coach, podcast host, and author, Traci helps other women who are asking themselves “what if there’s more?” navigate the second half of their lives.

Reaching the Pinnacle of Corporate Success and Walking Away (Traci Schubert Barrett)

My guest this week is Traci Barrett. She was one of the founding members of the national cable network, HGTV. Traci enjoyed the exciting and amazing ride of taking an idea and turning it into a billion dollar media empire. But almost two decades later, with a family and plenty of life ahead, success was no longer the beacon it once was. Traci took a risk and walked away from the comfort of corporate life to embark on a soul-searching journey – one that would answer her questions, validate her instincts, and change her life forever. 7:01 – Traci 101  Traci grew up in West Palm Beach, Fla. She moved to Chicago and knew she always wanted to work in television. She stayed in Chicago for 25 years and helped start HGTV. After 20 years with HGTV, she woke up one morning and wondered what else was out there. Traci decided to merge her decades of experience leading, strategizing, managing and mentoring by starting the business consulting firm, Navigate the Journey.  17:39 – HGTV’s early mission and vision  HGTV wanted to be loyal to the brand and have a common thread. It was always clear from the top down that HGTV was going to stick with the brand. It’s always good to know what the competition is doing, but Traci and her coworkers didn’t fear what the competition was doing. Believe in the mission, and stay true to the mission.  29:56 – Navigate the Journey  Traci and her husband started a business, Navigate the Journey. She coaches people and helps them connect the dots in their lives. Her business took off, and she began hiring people to work with her.  39:26 – Helping those who struggle  Women who stay home with their kids and want to re-enter the workforce often come to Traci for help. Traci helps people figure out what’s holding them back and how they can lean into their purpose.  45:03 – Get to know you  Something we’d never guess about Traci? She loves to sing.  FEATURED QUOTES I just woke up and asked myself: What more is out there? It’s always good to know what the competition is doing, but we don’t fear what the competition is doing. Believe in the mission, and stay true to the mission. CONNECT: https://www.tracischubertbarrett.com/ https://www.navigatethejourney.com/ Thank you to our partners of the show! Are you looking to clean up your household cleaning products this year? MamaSuds would like to help! The best way is to simply start with one product. Every time you run out of a specific cleaning product, replace it with a non-toxic one. Another tip, purchase a product that has multiple uses. The MamaSuds Collection has many multiple use products (castile soap or the toilet bombs are just a few!). Their blog has lots of great tips and a castile soap recipe that you can print and make a lot of your own effective cleaners! Give them a try at www.mamasuds.com and don't forget to use the coupon code MOLLY for 15% off your order! I’d like to thank our other partner of the show and that’s Tradlands. Tradlands is an INCREDIBLE sustainable fashion brand that believes in clothing that you can live in NOW and love forever. Clothing that not only makes you feel like your best self, but also fits in a way that flatters. Their gorgeous dresses, pants, tops, and more are designed to move with you throughout your busy days. Their Nico dress is my dress in a love language —not only does it have sleeves, but also POCKETS and you know how I feel about dresses with pockets. I love how comfortable and stylish each piece - and they come in colors like classic neutrals or vibrant hues. One of the things I love most about Tradlands is their focus on sustainability and creating small batch clothing that lasts… they never over produce what they make and focus on only the highest quality materials. And you know how much I love supporting small businesses, too. Check them out at https://tradlands.com/businesswithpurpose and use the code MOLLY20 for 20% off!
