Before You Book Your Solo Trip: A Postcard from Within

You've been thinking about this trip for a while. Maybe it's a cabin somewhere quiet. Maybe it's Paris, just you and a notebook. You've imagined it — you haven't booked it.

This session is for the journey that happens before you go anywhere.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This is for you if you keep saying "someday" about a solo trip and someday never arrives, if you're at a crossroads and need space to think it through, or if you're a founder or creative who knows a solo retreat would change everything but can't quite justify it yet.

WHAT WE'LL DO TOGETHER

This is a 60-minute 1:1 Zoom session designed to plan your internal journey — the one that happens before you book anything.

Before we meet, you'll complete a set of guided journal prompts to surface what's underneath the wanting. During our session, I'll ask the questions you haven't thought to ask yourself — what this trip is really about for you right now, what your nervous system needs, and what kind of experience is calling you. Afterward, you'll receive your personal Departure Card: a branded postcard with your solo trip profile, a personalized tarot reading reflecting what came up in our conversation, and a curated reading list matched to your journey.

You'll leave with clarity, a feeling to travel toward, and one clear next step.

FAQ

Do I need a destination in mind? No. We start with what you need, not where you're going. The destination follows the feeling.

I'm a business owner thinking about a solo CEO retreat. Is this for me? Yes. A solo retreat to map out your next chapter IS a solo trip — and this session will help you design it with intention.

What happens after the session? You'll receive your Departure Card within a few days. From there, your next step will be clear. If you want deeper support planning the full trip, we can talk about an Anchor Trip intensive.
