Hi Reader, I keep thinking about how many trips stay in the almost stage. Almost looking at flights, almost asking for the time off, almost telling someone, “I think I want to go.” Sometimes the trip isn’t the hard part. It’s saying the real question out loud. Can I do this by myself? Will I feel lonely? Is this too much money? What if I get there and wish I hadn’t gone? So here's a small thing I want you to do this week. Pick the trip you keep thinking about and write down the one question that keeps coming up. Not every question. Just the one that is loudest right now. Then bring it to the Skool community if you're a woman over 40. (If you're not, reply directly to this email.) That’s what the Freedom Looks Like This Skool community is for: the middle part where you could go either way with the trip because it's not real enough yet. If you're curious and unsure and want to talk to some women who get it, come join us Join the Skool community here. Post your question when you get there. Or if that feels like too much, reply and send it to me first. Joyfully, PS: Here's my podcast episode on choosing a destination by following the feeling first, before you get lost in everyone else’s lists and recommendations.

I realized I am standing here because this is the only quiet place away from my to-do lists, productivity hacks, and constant mind chatter. I spend so much time thinking about what I need to do next, what I still have on my todo list, and all the other things I want to do that are in my head. And now, with AI, it's even easier to fall into that pattern because suddenly we can do more. Or at least, it can...
Hi Reader, Was this forwarded to you? Subscribe here to get Changes Big and Small in your inbox each week. I was talking to a colleague some time ago and told him that I was about to take a break at work to go for a walk. This week, he mentioned that out of all of the things that impress him about my workflow, the fact that I fit in a walk almost every day impresses him the most. I can't resist this bright blue sky I thought this was so interesting. I consider my daily walk a non-negotiable....
Hi Reader, This week has me thinking about solo travel, about how it has changed me, and how many different ways it can look. Part of that is because I’ve been talking about it more lately, on my podcast and in a couple of guest conversations. Solo Travel Retreats The latest episode of the podcast is with Gina Cambridge. Gina lives in New Zealand and has led more than 30 solo travel retreats and tours in a variety of countries. What I appreciated most about our conversation is how she makes...
