As your coach, I’m focused on supporting you in 5 essential ways:
Mindset
Your mind creates your world. We are each the product of our upbringing, cultural conditioning and life experiences. I’m a gentle mirror reflecting your perspectives back to you to encourage you to experiment with stretching outside your comfort zone. I help you identify what personal narratives and patterns are limiting you, while fostering a growth mindset to empower you to be the person you want to be.
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs & Fears
“People like me don’t do things like that” or “I could only do that if I were (wealthier, younger, etc)” or “People might say this about me”…Thoughts like these limit how we define ourselves and what is possible. We’ll break through any self-imposed limitations, as well as talk through through any concrete travel fears, such as around health, safety, and community and remote work.
Tools & Strategies
After we’ve established your vision and mindset, it’s time to talk strategy and logistics so that your dream of travel can become a reality. That could be everything from the logistics of saving money, figuring out what to do with your apartment, what to pack, etc. to strategies for managing loneliness, travel anxiety, decision fatigue, and keeping a healthy schedule. These are the sorts of nitty gritty details that stall intentions and dreams every day—but I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
Accountability
My job is to help you keep your dream top of mind, and keep you on track towards making it happen. I understand that sometimes, knowing that someone else is paying attention and cares can make the difference between follow- through and a bump to tomorrow’s to-do.
Championing
Ultimately, I’m your cheerleader-in-chief, dedicated confidante, no BS truth-teller, totally objective vision-backer. I’m 100% behind you and your dreams. I’ll be supporting you every step of your journey, believing in you even when you might doubt yourself, celebrating your wins with you, validating your fears and struggles, and encouraging you to live your best life of freedom and adventure. Let’s do this!
I work with travelers along any stage of their journey:
VISIONING: You’re dreaming of travel, freedom, and adventure. +
In the dreaming phase, we start with the big WHY of your travel dreams, and we get clear on your travel vision and intention. If you’re dreaming about traveling, it’s because you’re looking for something. Let’s figure out what that is. I hold space for you to get really curious about what you want out of your trip and your life: What in your life has led you to this moment? How do you want to feel? What do want to learn? How will you challenge yourself? How will your life be better as a result of this?
“A journey of a thousand steps begins with a single step” - Lao Tzu
STRATEGIZING: With a clear vision, we’ll chart an action path forward to address any obstacles in your way. +
We’ll co-create tailored strategies and tools you can count on to help you successfully navigate through any of your travel concerns, whether that’s safety, health, community, or work. That could include logistics like budgeting, figuring out what to do with your apartment, resources around packing and planning. It also includes mental strategies for managing loneliness, travel anxiety, decision fatigue, and keeping a healthy schedule. Based on your intentions and visions, we’ll devise a plan to keep you on track - whether that’s a mantra (such as “Be here now”), meditations, and ideas for how to document your trip. All to keep you grounded and aligned with your vision, and to which you can keep coming back throughout your trip, no matter what happens.
“A vision without a strategy remains an illusion.” - Lee Bolman
ON YOUR JOURNEY: Intentionally seeking adventure, purpose, freedom and connection. +
Travel is about expanding your sense of self, of what’s possible in your life, and your perspective. A natural side effect of growth is discomfort. One moment you’re having the time of your life with amazing new friends, and the next you might be feeling lonely, or even a bit lost. You may feel overjoyed one moment and overwhelmed the next. As you’re growing, you may find yourself falling back into the very patterns you sought to break through travel. It’s a wonderful, messy journey and I offer a constant safe space for you to process and make sense of your experiences.
“The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us”. - Ritu Ghatourey
REINTEGRATION & DIGESTION: Surfacing the meaning and lessons from your journey, and creating the plan to make the changes in your life that really stick. +
Returning home from a period of significant travel can be very challenging. You’re not the same person you were when you left. Your perspectives have changed. You’ve met people and experienced things people at home will never fully understand. You might be experiencing reverse culture shock, or struggling to integrate your exposure to the world with your old reality.
You’re full of inspiration and ideas, but may fear that "regular life" will erode your sense of possiblity and optimism.
Together, we’ll reflect on how far you’ve come, unpack what you’ve learned, how you’ve changed, and create a strategy to integrate your travel lessons into the amazing life you’re going to lead going forward.
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” - Carl Jung
