The Write Path #21 - "The Purpose of Getting Lost," with Tracy Smith!!!

from The Write Path · host Rory Paquette

Tracy Smith is a memoirist, solo traveler, and storyteller whose debut book, The Purpose of Getting Lost, chronicles her journey from decades of pretending and people-pleasing to rediscovering herself across continents. At 49, after divorce, surgeries, and a lifetime of feeling like she didn’t quite fit in, Tracy booked a one-way ticket to Iceland—and kept going. Today, she uses her global adventures to explore belonging, courage, midlife reinvention, and what it really means to choose yourself. Her work resonates deeply with women navigating transition, reminding us that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. Website:  https://www.tracysmithauthor.com/Welcome to the Write Path Podcast, where being an author, an actual author, still matters.
