When American media executive Traci Barrett reached the pinnacle of her career, she woke up to find herself at a deeply personal and seriously uncomfortable new crossroads. All the confidence that once forged Barrett’s wildly successful ride at HGTV from founding team member to seasoned executive had suddenly shapeshifted into uncertainty.
What if success was no longer enough?
What if there was more to life than success?
With a young family and plenty of life ahead, Barrett 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.

“This book is like a mentor in your pocket. But not just any mentor - Traci presents a practical framework for moving forward when you're feeling stuck. It's not full of platitudes and empty advice. Instead, it's packed with helpful tools and ways of thinking that guide you toward setting an actionable vision for a future you actually want. It's about ensuring you're intentional about where you're going. Instead of just letting it happen to you. Every leader needs this book.”

It takes bravery to walk away from a successful leadership role and jump into the uncharted. Traci’s relatable and authentic experience inspires you to reflect on what you want for yourself and those around you — to help you find what success means for you, and to answer the question, “Who will I be when this job ends?”
-Karla Santi,
CEO, Blend Interactive
In What If There’s More?, Traci presents a framework for releasing the age-old weight of success for success’ sake and embracing the bold adventure of significance that awaits us all.
