What if your life’s purpose was to break the silence that held your family together?

In this episode of Getting Under the Skin, Topaz sits down with artist and filmmaker Tracey Arcabasso Smith (she/her), whose documentary Relative explores the generational trauma of sexual abuse in her family, and the healing that followed.

Tracey shares:

- The spiritual shifts that helped her redefine “mother”

- Why the courage to speak out didn’t feel like a choice

- How she balances her corporate leadership with a deep commitment to inner truth

- The tension between healing, parenting, and staying clear in a world full of pain

From vulnerability to visionary leadership, Tracey invites us to look within and reflect on what we’re really here to do. What has life designed you for?

These conversations are not performative interviews, book release tours or productivity hacks.

Genuine curiosity is the compass for these honest, human-to-human exchanges of stories. We explore how people are formed by the lives they’ve lived and celebrate the wisdom gained along the way.
