Why Traveling Solo Was the Best Decision I Ever Made
Four years ago, I did something different. I did something bold. I traveled out of state by myself for the first time to attend a conference led by motivational speaker Eric Thomas (ET). I never intended to travel alone but I didn’t have anyone to accompany me. Looking back, I’m glad no one was able to go because I needed to take that trip alone. I needed to learn how to thrive without other people. I spent so much time pleasing others that I forgot how to please myself. I forgot what made me happy. In 2017, (two years after I became a mother) I reached my breaking point and traveling alone saved me. It was the beginning of a self-love, self-healing, and self-discovery journey that I never knew I needed. I am the woman I am today because I decided to step out of my comfort zone.
No Woman Left Behind
In 2019 I took a solo trip to Denver, Colorado to attend the Woman Evolve conference led by Sarah. The conference gave me the opportunity to be surrounded by more than 1,000 purpose filled women who taught me the importance of sisterhood, vulnerability, and transparency. At the conference, Sarah said something that spoke directly to my soul. She said, a woman is waiting for you.
