175. Tracy Tritle… Global Peacemaker in a Peace Loving Van

53 minutes

In today’s episode we interview Tracy Tritle about her year living everywhere and nowhere at once in an old VW camper van. At the age of 55, Tracy found herself at rock bottom after leaving a corporate job and experiencing the ending of a long term marriage. She followed her instinct and said yes to a new adventure, and today we talk about all she learned.

Today we discuss:

Tracy’s early life on a dairy farm with a kind family where she felt like the “unicorn of the family” who never quite fit in and was muted.

The moment she decided to buy a burnt orange flower power VW camper van, and the feeling she had of exhilaration and “what did I just do?”.

Her loose plan to follow Route 66 West, and all the many detours and adventures along the way.

Her enmeshed relationship with GiGi (the camper van) that included break downs, selling her, rebuying her, shipping her home from Alaska, and her vow that she will never get rid of her as she is part of “my legacy”.

Women’s reaction to hearing about Tracy’s adventure which includes jealousy and the feeling “I could never do that” and Tracy’s belief that anyone can do it.

Tracy’s program for women that work with 3 key components: Put self first. Find Your Wild. Reclaim your spark.
