Settling into Settling Inn

Has this ever happened to you?

When I have an idea I romanticize the end product and start to share it with the world before actually ever ironing it out. Then when it’s time to sit down and plan, there are always so many moving pieces that it’s hard to get started. I don’t like feeling overwhelmed. I loathe it; hate it entirely. Because of this, I tend to avoid situations that will make me feel overburdened and anxious. The result then, is that some of these amazing ideas have never come to fruition because I can’t move past the stress of the concept phase.

I had this idea for an online community called “Settling Inn” over a year ago and it’s been stuck in “concept” ever since. I actually had the idea to create an online wellness magazine/resource back in 2009 when I was a sophomore in college, it just so happened that while I was working with my holistic life coach in 2021, the idea returned to me in full force.

the idea:

Settling Inn is a digital space for knowledge and transformation, helping people settle into their highest sense of Divine purpose and well-being. Regardless of your beliefs about spirituality, our lives are meant to serve a purpose. I believe we are born with the innate ability to know who we are and what we are meant to do, however, we are often conditioned by the world around us to pursue more “practical” or “logical” things. So many people grow up trying to fit into a box designed for them by their family and society and they lose their true identity and sometimes feel that they are living just to survive. We are not meant to live in boxes. We are meant to honor and share our purpose. Settling Inn provides the resources you need to come back home to yourself and live your most authentic life.

Over the past year, I’ve spoken ad nauseam about how Settling Inn will serve people, how it will evolve, and how it can make money. I even have my freaking team picked out! Yet, when it comes to writing down really taking action, designing the logo, building the website, solidifying partnerships with studios and lightworkers and healers, and LAUNCHING, I seem to be dragging my feet.

However, I am ready for this thing to hatch.

I’ve been thinking about it for so long; I have generated so many ideas and curated so many valuable resources I’d like to share that it seemed almost unfair to me to wait for a launch I haven’t even planned. This idea deserves life. It is so needed and I know it is going to create a community that deserves some pieces of it right now. Sharing this idea is part of my purpose.

So here’s what I’m going to do.

I’m going to launch this weekly newsletter as Settling Inn.

This way I can share everything I’ve been so excited to share while holding myself accountable to get the real deal out of its concept phase and, ultimately, into its launch phase.

This newsletter is going to teach subscribers how to tap into their intuition and lead their lives with a greater sense of self-awareness.

Here’s what you can expect weekly from Settling Inn, the newsletter with a free subscription:

• Insight from my own personal journey

• Demything current health and wellness “trends”

• Journal prompt for the week

• General recommendations; podcasts, books, playlists, visual media

• Virtual event announcements

• Seasonal wellness tips

• Occasional free workbooks on human design, astrology, and purpose

• Occasional offers for my 1:1 coaching program and virtual workshops

Over the coming months, I will be rolling out more informative content that enhances the Settling Inn experience. This will be housed here as part of a paid subscription ($5/month)* while I work diligently to get the branding and website off the ground.

*$5 is the minimum payment requirement on SubStack

Paid subscribers will receive access to:

• Cycle syncing content and workout/meal ideas for each phase

• A guaranteed, discounted rate for my 1:1 coaching program for the first 3 months

All subscribers will be the first to know when the site launches and will have first access to my YouTube and visual/audio podcast. I will also lean on you to provide me with feedback in the occasional poll and survey.

Thank you so much for sticking with me here and for helping this idea make its way from concept to launch. By helping me achieve my purpose, you are allowing me to provide endless resources to help you achieve yours, too.

So grab a hot beverage, your coziest blanket, a blank journal page, and let’s settle into Settling Inn.
