Welcome to In-Bodied with Tracy Kerkhoff, the podcast for women in their 40s who are done shrinking, done people-pleasing, and so ready to reclaim their glow.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought “Who even is she?” … this is your space. We’re talking perimenopause hormones (and all the messy feels that come with them), mom-life meltdowns, marriages that need more spark, and yes sex, self-worth, and finding yourself again in the middle of it all.
This isn’t about chasing your 20s. It’s about owning your 40s stronger, wiser, sexier, and more in-bodied than ever.
Expect raw, real talk with zero filters. Some days it’ll feel like a pep talk from your life coach, and some days like a wine-night vent session with your girlfriends. Either way, you’ll leave remembering this: your spark isn’t gone it’s just waiting for you to claim it back.

And while that realization can feel heavy at first, it can also be incredibly freeing. This episode is a reminder that acc...

Ep18 Worthiness, Attachment and The Art of Letting Go
Published 22 Jan 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And the point of detachment is that you just stop clinging to an outcome. It's not going cold. It's not shutting down, but it's just saying the outcome that is coming for me is way beyond my imagination. And if I cling to what is in my imagination, it is full of limits. It's only what I can imagine. Which if I've lived 45 years of worthiness is probably not that much. So can I just let go of whatever an outcome may be?
