The Midlife Chrysalis

Feeling Lost? Use Inner Tracking to Find Your Path| Lee Johnson


Listen Later

Midlife can feel confusing, off track, or quietly unsettled, and you’re not the only one feeling it. 


In this episode of Midlife Chrysalis, Lee Johnson, a mindfulness guide and teacher, shares his journey from ranch life to guiding others through mindfulness and “inner tracking,” offering a grounded and deeply human perspective on finding your way without a clear plan. 


Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why feeling lost in midlife is often a turning point, not a problem

• What inner tracking is and how it helps you make aligned decisions

• How to trust your path even when nothing feels certain

• Why disconnection is so common and how to reconnect with yourself

• A simple awareness practice you can use right away 


If midlife has you questioning your direction, this conversation will bring clarity and calm.

Watch now and start finding your way back.
