Tracy Nicholas

Tracy Nicholas works at the intersection where folklore, mindful living and creativity meet. As an animist, nature is central to her spiritual practice and living in a way that reduces her impact on the planet’s resources is an ongoing focus for her. Folkloring, the podcast she hosts, explores practical folklore and ways to bring it off the page and into our day to day lives. She is the theatre and film correspondent for the top ranking show The Folklore Podcast. She is a folklore researcher and a game designer who creates escape room style games in a subscription box format. Tracy has a degree in Stage Management from Columbia College and a Master of Science in Learning and Organizational Change from Northwestern University. She lives in Chicagoland’s North Shore where she rarely lives up to the exacting standards of her feline supervisor, Puck.
