Being a Happily Lost Tourist (The Unexpected Portal to a Wildly Wealthy Life)

We’re told to always know where we’re going.
Have the five-year plan. The retirement plan.
The backup plan.
The plan B, C, D, E, F, G.
The spreadsheet that guarantees it’ll all work out.

But what if getting “lost” is actually the portal?
What if the magic, the clarity, and the wealth don’t come from certainty—
but from the courage to wander, to discover, to unbecome and become?

💼 From Corporate Gold to Ground Zero

I was working at a Fortune 100 firm.
Named Financial Planner of the Year—three years in a row—out of 65,000 advisors.
I had the prestige.
The accolades.
The carefully polished definition of “success.”

And then I walked away.
I left it all to start my own company.
Eight months later, I launched my very first program.
Heart on the line. Vision burning. Soul in the strategy.

And it flopped.
Not “kinda flopped.”
Face-plant, disappear-from-Instagram, what-have-I-done kind of flop.

My business partner left halfway through the launch.
Vanished.

The whole thing felt like it was crumbling in real time.
My team started doubting me—
and if I’m honest, so did I.

After I finally admitted we had a total failure in Stage One…
I descended into two weeks of pure darkness.
Looking back, it was just two weeks—
but in that darkness, it felt like forever.

No answers. No plans.
All roads were open, but I couldn’t take a step on any.
Just me… and the haunting echo of:
“What now?”

🌑 When the Path Disappeared, the Becoming Began

I was lost.
Not in a cute Eat Pray Love kind of way.
More like… a black hole of shame, fear, doubt, and Who do you think you are?

My ego—my pride—was smashed into the ground.

Fortunately,
I chose to let my coach in, even though it was wildly uncomfortable.

From there, they cracked something open.
They didn’t hand me a solution.
They didn’t tell me to pivot, rebrand, or repackage.

They gave me space.
To not know.
To not act.
To just be.

They helped me let go of the “right way”—the shoulds—
so I had space to meet what was actually ready to emerge.

That’s when I owned what it meant to be a happily lost tourist.

🌸 The Art of Wandering with Wonder

Instead of forcing a plan, I started allowing.
Instead of fixing, I started softening.
I stopped acting—and I started becoming.

I let my old identity dissolve.
I surrendered to the floating, uncertain, in-between-ness.

And in that surrender:
✨ New offerings were created from resonance, not trends
✨ Abundance flowed to me, and my vision flourished
✨ My mind, body, and spirit recalibrated to full self-expression—
allowing me to show up, serve with integrity, lead with confidence,
and feel vibrantly alive

Being “lost” wasn’t failure.
It was part of the formation.

💫 Final Wisdom

Sometimes, the most wildly wealthy thing you can do…
is allow yourself to get a little lost.

Not in confusion.
But in curiosity.
In softness. In becoming.

In trusting what’s being revealed—when you finally stop trying to control it all.

Let yourself unravel—so you can re-form.
Let yourself float—so you can find your flow.
Let yourself be “lost”—so the truest version of you can come home.
