Tracee Sioux is the author, coach and creator of The Year of YES! and host of Year of YES! Radio at True2YouRadio.com. Her purpose is to free others to say YES! to their own Soul's purpose. Her work has been featured in New York Times Magazine, Forbes.com and Today.com. Finding herself divorced after a 12-year marriage, Sioux found herself making $600 a month, taking piece writing work, feeding her kids from the food bank and yet, strangely peaceful deep within her Soul. This experience led her to embark on a one- year commitment to say YES! to her Soul's Purpose. By the end of the year, Sioux had built a sustainable business, explored her sexuality, brought her income to six figures, lost three pants sizes, healed 40 years of pain and regret and discovered what it meant to create an intentional autonomous life in her 40s. Prior to The Year of YES! Sioux led The Girl Revolution, to empower girls and their parents and caregivers in the face of today's marketing and media messaging. She is the author of Love Distortion: Belle, Battered Codependent and Other Love Stories. Sioux has worked as a journalist, blogger, and consultant for 17 years.
