This is HARD!  It’s far easier to blame others, have things happen TO you, or in so many ways, be the victim or play the supporting role in your life story – presumably written by someone else.

YOU are writing this story – YOU are the star of the show – no one else!  More on that as we go…

So…what’s my story?

• I left home at 17 to move across Canada, then onward to Australia & New Zealand – which really embedded the travel bug deep in my soul.  I never looked back!

• I’ve traveled extensively alone, with my son (36 yrs my junior – yes I started late), and my mom (20 yrs my senior).  

• I’ve been in the education field, finance, sales, construction and manufacturing sectors.

• I’ve worked for school boards, private companies, big banking, global corporations and more recently 17 years as a small business owner.

For all of my various careers and experiences, I always knew there was one thing I was meant to do – to lead!  There’s no ego attached to that comment (you’ll get that as you get to know me) – I just knew I was supposed to be pioneering, exploring new paths, opening closed doors, wandering down less traveled roads.

Solo She Goes was born out of a sense that there were many, many women I knew or had met in my travels, women over 50, single by choice or by circumstances, on a budget by choice or by circumstances – but craving a more adventurous, simple and joyful life.  

I came to realize that many didn’t know where to start. I was hearing things like:

• Travel looks exciting but alone – no way!  
• Retirement looms ahead – but how will I afford it on my own?
• Tiny or minimalist living looks very zen-like – but what do I do with my lifetime of stuff and family home?
• I want more but society says I should be happy with what I have.

Solo She Goes was born to help, to be that accountability partner, a coach and a community to walk alongside you on your journey – whatever that may look like.

I’m glad you’re here!  You are NOT alone!
