When Getting Lost Becomes Your Turning Point with Tracy Smith

When Getting Lost Becomes Your Turning Point with Tracy Smith

In this deeply reflective episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan welcomes Tracy Smith, author of The Purpose Was in Getting Lost. Tracy opens up about her journey from feeling disconnected and directionless to finding self-belonging and purpose through vulnerability, travel, and self-trust. She shares how the quiet ache of being “lost” became the very invitation to rediscover her authentic self — not through reinvention, but by saying yes to herself for the first time.

About the Guest: Tracy Smith is a writer, traveler, and mother based in Washington, D.C. Her memoir explores how losing herself — both literally and emotionally — led to powerful transformation. Through stories of courage, midlife exploration, and self-compassion, Tracy helps others see “lost” not as failure, but as freedom.

Key Takeaways:

  • Getting lost can be the path back to yourself.

  • Reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about reclaiming who you’ve always been.

  • Saying yes to yourself, even in small ways, is radical self-love.

  • Travel and solitude can be powerful mirrors for inner healing.
