We’re Tracy Spears and Chef Shannon Smith, two 60-year-old women navigating life, love, work, and everything in between… out loud.
As Shannon navigates her first relationship with a woman, that all began with a dinner that Tracy thought was a date, not knowing Shannon thought it was a business dinner.
Two months later, on a Saturday night at 10pm, Shannon followed her heart and professed her love to Tracy. While Tracy sat there gobsmacked, she told Shannon she’s Here For All Of It.
No scripts. No filters. Just real talk about the messy, magical, mundane moments that make a life. We want to show you that life isn’t over at 60.
Whether you’re here for the real, the raw, the funny conversations, or the later in life love story… doesn’t matter. We’re glad you’re here. So pour a glass, pull up a chair, and stay awhile.
This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to show up fully as yourself.
Here for the laughs. Here for the truth. Here for all of it.
Tracy Spears has spent her career leading corporate teams, coaching high performers, and speaking to audiences around the world, but her real power lies in telling the truth out loud.
She’s a 3x best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the unapologetic voice behind Trailer Park University, a leadership philosophy offering online edutainment rooted in grit, resilience, and radical authenticity.
Tracy grew up in a single-wide trailer and was recruited out of the neighborhood to play D1 softball at the University of Oklahoma. That experience taught her how to set big goals and outwork everyone to get there.
After nearly three decades as an executive in corporate America, Tracy was unexpectedly fired. That moment cracked her open. She realized she’d spent years helping others lead with authenticity, while quietly hiding parts of her own story. As a gay woman in a conservative industry, silence felt like survival… until it didn’t.
Today, Tracy is living fully out loud with a mic in one hand, a Manhattan in the other, and Shannon by her side. At 60, she’s here to remind you: whatever you’re not changing, you’re choosing.
She’s Here For All Of It.
Shannon Smith is a storyteller in the kitchen and in life—an adventurous traveler, passionate cook, and deep believer in second chances.
A Tulsa native who’s visited over 50 countries, Shannon has spent decades learning the flavors, rituals, and recipes that connect us. From learning from local kitchens in Greece to world-renowned chefs, she believes food is a love language.
For more than 20 years, Shannon has taught cooking classes and hosted global-themed dinners in her home. Her first cookbook, The Hidden Table, is a heartfelt blend of recipes and stories from her travels around the world.
But her story isn’t just about food. Shannon has raised children, weathered heartbreak, and found herself all over again—this time, in love with a woman. At 60, she’s embracing the next chapter with a full heart, open hands, and zero apologies.
She’s Here For All Of It.
