The Golden Thread
The golden thread, or the dish antenna...either way, take it as an invitation to choose the metaphor that feels closest to your heart.
These 44 days, it’s about expecting nothing back but the magic of endless possibilities through a meaningful interaction.
Let’s get in context
Over the past few years, the slow travelers and nomads I’ve met while solo traveling showed me something that had been buried somewhere along the way, when people began treating time and presence like currency and connections became a bit (too much) transactional and soulless.
But how much impact can a simple talk, just to talk, have? You know, when curiosity is enough of a reason to reach out?
The moment someone says something that makes you see your own path differently. That’s what this challenge is about.
The Potential of Life-Changing Small Choices
I love the idea that a single conversation could change everything. An email, a DM, a coffee chat (in person or virtual).
From now until December 10, I’ll be reaching out to 44 nomads, travelers, creators, entrepreneurs...people building, dreaming, or wandering their own paths,
who I’ve either been following for a while and admire for how they show up, or who just popped up in my feed and made me feel incredibly drawn to their experiences! ✨
Why?
This is big to me, but I’ll summarize it quickly:
to learn, to listen, to become a little like each of them, to connect, and to celebrate the true, raw, vulnerable, exciting, and vibrant stories behind their journeys.
to know how to support them, get inspired, and build community.
Wanna join, for a day or 44?...here’s how:
1) Get clear on your WHY.
Not because you need to create a document, but because time and energy will be invested, you’ll be putting yourself out there. Know what’s driving you.
2) Reach out to someone you’ve been meaning to message.
Ask a question. Invite a real conversation. Get curious. Tell them what you love about their work. Appreciate out loud if they’ve inspired you. It’s about remembering what happens when we build bridges and connect from the joy of connecting.
3) Would love if you share how it goes!
but...even if you keep it private, I’ve built this (free) template so you can track your journey and turn it into stories or learnings.
4) If you’d like us to share a Coffee Chat ☕
please reach out! DM me 💌 HERE
44 days of reaching out
starting November 1st, ending December 14th.
44 travelers/nomads/creators/entrepreneurs
I’ll share updates on travelingmyway.com and through a new newsletter: subscribe to follow along ✨
The 22 coffee chats (?)
That’s just a wish. Maybe it’ll happen, maybe it won’t. I’m open to what needs to be. (Still, I’m very excited!)
Join me in the challenge. Download the free tracker template here (link).
Want to join me for a Coffee Chat? ☕
I’d love that. Send a DM to talk and schedule 🌎
→ What about rejection
Well...it will be just part of the process. Rejection is uncomfortable. You put yourself out there, and it didn’t go as you hoped or planned. (I know you know this too.)
Reframing it as an opportunity to learn and actually feel proud because we showed up, is the mindset we are using here 💪
Pst! ✨And Put yourself out there (again)
Welp, I’m a little scared, of course, but mostly deeply excited!! Isn’t it cool to think we can find so much meaning in something as simple as sending an email or a DM?!
