Have you gone through all the predetermined mile-markers toward success and now wonder, what is next?
Has the climb toward the top of the ladder left you restless, depleted, and wondering if there is more out there for you?

As a founding member of the team that launched HGTV: Home & Garden Television, media executive Traci Schubert Barrett had enjoyed the exciting ride of taking a promising idea and turning it into a billion-dollar media empire. But nearly two decades later, success was no longer the beacon it once was. What if success was no longer enough? What if there was more?

Traci took a risk, walked away from the comfort of corporate life, and embarked on a soul-searching journey—one that answered her questions, validated her instincts, and changed her life forever. Traci presents a framework for answering those pressing questions that we face mid-career as we look to the future and wonder, What If There’s More? She shares her own lessons learned and offers a pathway for making peace with your past, renewing your perspective, and confidently crossing into a fulfilling and legacy-leaving future. A practical and refreshing antidote to the never-ending quest for success, What If There’s More? isan indispensable guide for stepping off the hamster wheel of “doing all” and “being all” to live the life you want.
