My purpose is to entertain and inspire people! Through my new book, Life Switch, I share all of the entertaining and lesson-packed highs and lows I've experienced personally and professionally. Everyone is pre-wired for success and happiness, but not everyone knows how to flip the switch to power on the best version of themselves. That's exactly what I aim to do with readers, listeners and watchers.

To further impact the world in a positive way, I am donating $1 million to charity if Life Switch sells 1 million copies. Each reader has a chance to made a real difference and be a part of something that has never been done before!

Joel Steele is living proof that your lowest moments can lead to your greatest breakthroughs. By age 25, he’d faced bankruptcy, near-death experiences, and life on the edge. But through raw self-awareness and bold decision-making, Joel flipped the switch—and completely rewired his life.

Today, Joel is a financial expert, entrepreneur, author of the new book Life Switch, keynote speaker, and a member of the ownership group of two professional sports teams. He’s also a devoted husband and father who believes living a rich life isn’t measured just by money.

Does any of this this sound like you at all: A professional woman who “has it all together” on the outside—but feels emotionally bankrupt, underappreciated or disconnected on the inside. You’re burned out from the load at work, you are getting cross with people because they don’t get you, appreciate you or live up to your standards, and your personal relationships are suffering. You’re reactive rather than being calm when you are questioned, challenged or under stress. Your brain is consistently feeding you reasons to feel distrustful, inadequate, hopeless. You seek validation from others. Everything seems to escalate into a “storm,” and you don’t know how to stop it. 

If any of this rings true, then you need Tracy Doyle’s new book Life Storms: Finding Your Clear Sky: Practices to Overcome Negative Thinking, Build Connection and Find Fulfillment. Through deep examination of her own experience, Tracy identified the roots of burnout that led to the Reaction Cascade which spiraled into self-centered thinking -- fueling her conflicts, uncontrolled emotions, and disconnection in relationships.

Life Storms offers Tracy’s Aurora Method, 8 practices that create mindful awareness, revamped thinking and actions that lead to a calm life of fulfillment and relationship success at work and home. In other words, Clear Skies.  

Discovering these processes was no easy task for Tracy Doyle! It took years to come to terms with the homelife trauma that marred her way forward—an undiagnosed bipolar mother; an alcoholic absent step-father; an uncle who sexually abused her; children in the neighborhood who bullied and sexually assaulted her; a mother and drug-addicted, mentally ill half-sister who felt entitled to be supported by her. 

Nevertheless, Tracy put herself through college (the first in her family), got a degree in psychology and counseling, worked in a clinic, then discovered an unexpected opportunity in pharmaceutical sales and ultimately built her own international multi-million-dollar company in medical communications. Along the way, she received multiple regional honors, including the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in Healthcare Solutions and Services, and was featured by Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Inc. as one of the region’s most dynamic female business leaders.

Tracy was also very successful financially as she climbed the ladder, but the road was never easy, and her thinking and behavior shaped by her early life experiences affected all interpersonal relationships, stalling her progress. She did not recognize the signs of emotional burnout as she spiraled into unkind, demanding, arrogant self-centered thinking and behavior. She never felt recognized, appreciated or understood. It wreaked havoc at work and nearly cost her the love of her life. In her mid-30s the pressure reached a breaking point. Tracy painfully recounts her traumatic upbringing, her many missteps, the turning point, and the slow movement forward as she taught herself a different way. 

Eventually, through therapy, intense inner work, reading books authored by leading figures who each held a piece of the puzzle and her own counseling experience, Tracy realized that she was the catalyst for why her life was filled with storms she created or was unable to respond appropriately to. She sought clear skies—and began creating the practices that would ultimately make up The Aurora Method—and free her from the past. 

The 8 practices in The Aurora Method open the way to:

Today, Tracy has grown a highly successful coaching practice helping women escape the recurring thinking and fear driving their emotional burnout and unfulfilled lives, no matter how successful they are! Through her book, masterclasses, and eight-week course, Tracy empowers professional women to break free from the patterns keeping them stuck, so they can lead their lives with calm, clarity, and confidence — reminding them that no matter how turbulent life feels, clear skies are always within reach.

Tracy Doyle is a nationally recognized entrepreneur, emotional wellness advocate, and author of Life Storms: Finding Your Clear Sky. Her journey from a childhood shaped by trauma and instability to becoming an award-winning business leader and resilience coach is a testament to the power of reinvention and healing.

After building a multimillion-dollar medical communications company and earning regional accolades like the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, Tracy faced a breaking point: emotional burnout. This personal crisis became the catalyst for her transformation and the creation of the Aurora Method—a practical, psychology informed, mindfulness-based framework helping professional women overcome burnout, reshape limiting beliefs, and reconnect with themselves and others.

Through her book, masterclasses, and eight-week course, Tracy empowers professional women to break free from the patterns keeping them stuck, so they can lead their lives with calm, clarity, and confidence — reminding them that no matter how turbulent life feels, clear skies are always within reach.

our audience will enjoy my perspective because I speak as a young author who created a book that highlights the voices of women in many fields. My work Bows and Ties grew from a desire to understand how women build confidence, find purpose, and shape their paths. I gathered nineteen interviews with founders, creators, leaders, and innovators who shared their stories with honesty and generosity. These stories show that ambition can begin at any age, and that inspiration often arrives when we see real people who faced real challenges and still continued to grow. I believe this message is powerful for listeners of all ages because it shows that achievement is not limited by background or youth. It begins when someone decides to take the first step.

I speak not only as the author but also as a student leader who knows what it feels like to have an idea that seems too big. Many young people think that they have to wait until adulthood to make an impact. My goal is to help them understand that they can start now. I created this book at sixteen, while balancing school, leadership roles, and community work. I learned that meaningful projects are built one choice at a time, and that storytelling is one of the strongest tools for empowerment. When listeners hear the voices of these women, they feel encouraged to imagine themselves in new ways. They see that success is not linear. It is shaped by creativity, mentorship, resilience, and the confidence to try even when the outcome is uncertain.

What makes my perspective unique is the contrast between my age and the depth of the stories I gathered. I approached each interview with curiosity about what motivates women and what lessons they would want younger generations to carry forward. Many of them shared insights about identity, leadership, community, and the importance of trusting your own voice. These themes resonate with listeners because they speak to universal experiences. People of all ages understand what it means to doubt themselves or to question their place in the world. My interviews show that doubt and progress often exist together, and that confidence is something we build through action.

I also hope to be interviewed about the creative process behind Bows and Ties. Listeners will enjoy hearing how the book came from a simple idea and grew into something larger than I expected. I can share how I selected interview subjects, crafted questions, and shaped the book into a cohesive narrative. I can also talk about the challenges of writing and editing as a young author, from learning how to manage deadlines to finding the courage to ask accomplished women to share their stories. These behind the scenes details help listeners understand that big projects are approachable when broken into steps.

Another topic I hope to discuss is how young people can use storytelling to build community. I speak about how stories create connection, spark empathy, and inspire new opportunities. I also love to share the impact the book has had so far. I have brought Bows and Ties to schools, libraries, and events where students have told me that the book made them feel seen. That is the greatest outcome I could hope for.

I would also welcome questions about leadership, motivation, and what it means to pursue goals with purpose. Many listeners enjoy hearing how teenagers think about ambition and responsibility. My message is simple. Your ideas matter. Your voice matters. Your dreams are allowed to take up space.

Kavya Thakrar is a teen author and student leader whose work focuses on creativity, empowerment, and the voices of women across many career paths. She is the creator of Bows and Ties, a collection of nineteen interviews with founders, creators, executives, and innovators who share their stories of resilience and ambition. Kavya wrote the book to show young people that meaningful ideas can begin early and that confidence grows when we learn from the experiences of others.

Along with her writing, Kavya is an active student leader involved in business, media, community projects, and youth advocacy. She speaks to schools, after school programs, and community groups about the value of storytelling, leadership, and believing in your potential at any age. Her goal is to inspire young people to take ownership of their ideas and to see themselves as capable of creating change now, not later.

Everyone talks about empowerment, but few know what it actually looks like when life gets real. My work bridges Austria and Tanzania, the West and the Maasai community - two worlds that challenge everything we think we know about freedom, self-love, and women’s rights. I coach women in the West through emotional healing and clarity, and in Tanzania I run Empower Her, a grassroots project fighting FGM and supporting Maasai girls. I challenge the comfortable narratives, expose the blind spots, and show what true empowerment looks like when culture, humanity, and transformation collide.
