Girl, I'm Making It Through
Podcast Description
This podcast is for women who are navigating the wild, wonderful, and sometimes WTF moments of life after 50. We’re talking health, hormones, heartbreak, healing, and heck—how to hustle a little too. I want this to be a space where we laugh, learn, and lean on each other, because guess what? We’re still here—and we’re still making it through.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Covers a variety of topics including health, hormones, heartbreak, and healing, with specific episodes focusing on the importance of wellness in midlife, the impact of hormonal changes, and the significance of self-care practices like the concept of a 'momcation' where mothers share their experiences of taking guilt-free breaks to recharge.

Girl, I Am Making It Through was born from Tracy Marchelle’s belief that women deserve to be seen — not as finished versions of themselves, but as whole beings in process.
Through grounded, heart-centered conversation, Tracy Marchelle explores what it means to evolve with integrity — to lead from honesty, to grow through grace, and to create from lived experience.
Her presence is anchored in quiet leadership: steady, embodied, and sincere.
Each episode becomes a mirror — reflecting back the strength, softness, and truth we often overlook while we’re still finding our way.
This is not a show about having it all figured out. It’s about finding beauty in the process of figuring it out.
What if sensuality didn’t disappear with age… but actually deepened?
In this episode of Girl, I’m Making It Through, Tracy Marchelle sits down with author, speaker, and book festival founder Donna Banks, a vibrant woman in her 70s who is living proof that confidence, creativity, and sensuality don’t retire.
This honest and powerful conversation explores what it really means to continue becoming — at every stage of life.
Together, Tracy and Donna talk about aging, sensual confidence, relationships later in life, and the freedom that comes from finally being comfortable in your own skin.
Because the truth is…
you don’t age out of desire, creativity, or living fully.
You evolve into it.
In this episode we talk about:
• Why many women over 50 misunderstand their desirability
• How sensuality evolves as we age
• Finding confidence in your body and your voice
• Navigating relationships and companionship later in life
• Why women must stop shrinking themselves as they get older
• The beauty of becoming better than you were
