Tracie Root
Tracie Root is a speaker, a coach, an author, and a community builder.
Tracie ended her career in corporate America and found her new calling after a personal family tragedy. Her partner of almost 20 years passed away after a battle with cancer at age 47. Tracie and her two toddlers were left with no family nearby, a house “underwater” from the 2008 housing crisis, and couldn’t see how anything would ever change.
After years of trauma and loss, that light inside finally started to shine brighter. Tracie saw a way back to her former self and began the journey, one step at a time. She left corporate life and created a new life full of fulfillment, adventure, and joy.
For over a decade, Tracie has been serving and supporting clients around the country to set and get their goals in life and business. As the founder of The Gather Community, she took her own goal-getting advice by shifting in 2020 from holding and hosting in-person events in her “brick-and-mortar” space to creating a nationwide community of like-minded women who are growing and thriving together. Tracie guides solopreneur women ready to shift toward their next exciting chapter in business by creating a structured, sustainable, and successful business with decisive BOLD action.
Tracie lives in Santa Cruz, CA, is married to her best friend, and they are raising two teens and a dog.
