Soft Place to Land- a newsletter and community
Welcome to Soft Place to Land, a one stop shop for inspiration, practices, and a community to support you leaning into your dreams.
What you’ll get:
A newsletter with unfiltered musings and inspiration on the process of inching toward your dreams among all the things in life that lead us to lose touch with dreams.
Soft Place to Land is a tiny corner of the internet where you’ll find the virtual hype crew you never knew you needed. It’s for folks who are considering or embarking on life changes of all sizes. It’s for those who want to grab hold of their dreams and declare “I believe you!” The space and content is curated to inspire folks who want to make a change in their life or do something they’ve been dreaming of.
Content will touch on my experiences with solo travel, healing, and career change. I’ll share my current process of unbecoming a therapist and doing a trust fall with the universe toward something new, that which my heart has been pulling me toward.
Free subscribers:
You have been looking for a corner of the internet where you can quickly find relatable content that supports the changes you are making in life and taking action in service of your dreams. Some of you may be here for solo travel content, of which there will be plenty. Some of you know exactly what your dreams are. Some of you lost touch with that part of yourself long ago. Whatever the status or focus of your dreams, you may find yourself surprised how easily differing circumstances can resonate when distilled down to the very human experience of struggle, and the power of being seen and honored as you voice your dreams.
Free subscribers can expect :
Monthly newsletter with inspiration to move toward your dreams, including solo travel tips and stories from the open road (or bed)!
Paid subscribers:
As a paid subscriber, you will be on the receiving end of curated content and invitations to cozy up to your inner dreamer.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a community, with access to engage and chat and inspire one another to move towards any changes you want to make in your life. All dreamers are welcome here.
Paid subscribers can expect :
A combination of free and subscriber only content, including monthly letters to your inbox, any any musings in between that resonates with what’s coming up in the community.
Access to newsletter archives.
Substack is an interactive blog, which means that as a paid subscriber, you are encouraged to comment and interact with me and the other paid subscribers on posts. This is where the community will blossom.
Monthly community inspiration containers: These offerings will vary from invitations to engage in practices to identify your dreams, to hype crew posts and more. A place to be celebrated and inspired by this community of humans, for each and every step you take on your journey.
Collective explorations of topics of shared interest & lived experience (ADHD, travel, life changes, spirituality, living your values, healing, etc).
Curated recommendations for the creators, healers, and spaces where I have been most impacted, to get a flavor for who/what is out there that may resonate with you.
Founding members:
The difference between the monthly/annual paid option and founding membership comes down to a commitment to yourself. What we pay for, we are more likely to engage with and actually utilize and benefit from (the data is striking). Founding membership is a declaration that you’re ready to get intimate with the essence of your dreams. In addition, founding members have access to an exclusive collection of offerings.
Founding members can expect :
Everything listed in the other tiers.
Interactive workshops on topics including: Adventure planning; Solo Travel Tips; Dreaming into infinite possibilities; more topics to come as the community evolves!
Q&A’s in which I provide the uncensored stories you want to hear, my gut reactions to your queries, and more!
Unfiltered behind the scenes content of life on the road, with all of the unexpected joys and catastrophes along the way (Hint- 2023 trip examples you’ll hear about include cracking both of my camper holding tanks on a forest service road that my ‘RV safe’ GPS sent me down; almost getting barfed on in a campground shuttle; and highlights of the unexpected connections along the way). This is likely to have unexpected benefits.
About Me:
I’m a solopreneur, part-time solo traveler, ADHDer, child-free by choice Auntie Bear, and most recently, someone in the midst of a career pivot. I went from a career as a child therapist in private practice to something else I’m still in process of dreaming up. Presently my offerings include but are not limited to caregiver coaching, educational advocacy, and clinical supervision/consultation. AND, I’m showing up here as a writer. I’m working on a series of children’s books that I’m incredibly excited to keep pouring energy into so that I can share them with the world. Additionally, I’m working on 2 non-fiction manuscripts.
