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.
