How one word can change your perspective on everything!
Happy New Year! đ
Over the holidays, I took some time to travel and gave myself a break. By doing so, I had a BREAKTHROUGH that I cannot wait to share with you! Read to the end and learn how you can join this movement.—ïž
Last year, I took my first solo â or shall we call it a soul-o â vacation to Barcelona. It really is good for your soul to take a vacation alone! I had the best time in Barcelona and Iâd like to make this at least an annual adventure.
I recently came back from my 2nd soul-o vacation to Portugal. Taking a vacation alone, if thatâs within reach, is something Iâd encourage everyone to do. And if that sounds overwhelming, start smaller. Maybe itâs a weekend or a night away, or even taking yourself out for a meal or coffee.
When you take downtime alone, itâs a completely different experience than when youâre with others. Iâm a firm believer that you take in exactly whatâs meant for you.
Here are 3 benefits to taking a vacation alone:
You get to know yourself better. By going solo, you learn about what you like to do (and donât enjoy as much) without the input or influence of anyone else.
You gain independence and sharpen critical thinking skills. You are putting yourself in a situation to learn to navigate logistics in an unfamiliar place.
Youâre more likely to meet new people. When youâre alone, you arenât focused on your travel companion, making you more open to meet new friends.
In Portugal, I met and connected with some wonderful people from all over the world! I chatted with people from Turkey, Czech Republic, London, and New Jersey. And I even had such delightful conversations with people from Buffalo, NY, Madrid, and Montana that we connected on social media to stay in touch!
This would have never happened had I not been solo.
A new season of Drinking With Gin also launched today! I canât believe weâre starting SEASON 3!!! There is a theme this season that ties directly to my BREAKTHROUGH experience and you can learn how to be a part of this movement.

And now for the BREAKTHROUGH moment I had and I want to invite you join me in a movement in 2025.
(P.S. BREAKTHROUGH is NOT the word.đ)
Sometimes we have to give ourselves time and space in order to allow our creative juices to flow. This is exactly what happened for me in 2024. Hereâs how:
A former colleague from Chicago randomly texted me and asked when my next book tour would be. I had this thought of, âUgh, I need a break â I put out 2 books in 18 months!â
And almost immediately after that, I had this BREAKTHROUGH â it felt like an intuitive download. It was within 7 minutes of receiving that text message. I know this because I called a friend who is a trusted advisor with my idea. I made this call at 11:11am and the mentioned text was received at 11:04am.
This BREAKTHROUGH is a one-word principle. One word that we are all familiar with and understand what it means. Itâs RELATABLE. Itâs RELEVANT. And it will create a common language amongst us.
When I began applying it to all of the things I already teach, work on with coaching clients, speak about from stage, write about and talk about on the podcast â- this one word applies. To just about EVERY aspect of life and the challenges we face. Whether it be relationships, difficult situations, and even our own behaviors, thoughts or feelings,
So, Iâve built out the structure, framework, and guidance to support you with this one-word principle in a weekly community where we can all use this together.
