I’m the heart behind Journeys Insight and the writer of Trace’s Morning Notes.

For more than 25 years, I’ve guided entrepreneurs, leaders, and individuals who want to live and lead with greater clarity and purpose. Through Vision Mapping workshops, strategic planning, books, and speaking, I help people turn scattered ideas and big visions into focused, actionable plans.

But I’ve also walked the real, messy, beautiful path of life myself — the highs, the lows, the quiet moments that shift everything.

Trace’s Morning Notes were born from that same place. Three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), I send short, honest reflections on real life — the kind that cut through the noise and help us remember what truly matters. Sometimes it’s a sky that stops me cold. Sometimes it’s fear, relief, joy, parenting, loss, or the small everyday truths we often overlook.

No hype. No perfect formulas. Just thoughtful words from someone walking the path alongside you.

Whether you’re mapping your next big chapter, navigating a transition, or simply trying to stay grounded in the middle of it all, these notes are here as a gentle companion — a little signal of clarity in a noisy world.

I’m truly glad you’re here.

Welcome to the journey.
