Your Highest and Best Next Chapter
Listening for the moment it’s time to say yes
#16
There’s a moment I’ll never forget.
I was sitting on my balcony staring at the trees and feeling this strange mix of gratitude and restlessness. My life looked “good” — I had a great career, a home, a relationship I cared about. But inside, something was quietly tugging at me: there’s more.
It wasn’t about throwing everything away. It wasn’t about starting from scratch.
It was about stepping into a truer, more expansive version of myself — one that I could feel was waiting for me.
Sometimes, that’s the hardest thing to admit.
Especially when life looks fine on the outside. It’s easier to stay busy. To keep filling the calendar. To convince yourself that the timing isn’t right or that you’ll get to it “someday.”
But here’s what I’ve learned — both from my own journey and from walking alongside other women:
The call to your next chapter won’t stop whispering.
You can ignore it for a while, but it will keep coming back — in moments of quiet, in flashes of inspiration, in those “what if…” daydreams you can’t shake.
I didn’t have it all figured out.
When I said yes to my six-month soul-led travel journey, I didn’t have a perfect plan. I didn’t know how it would all unfold. But I knew I couldn’t keep ignoring that pull toward freedom, joy, and adventure.
Looking back now, that “yes” changed everything — not just because of the places I visited, but because of the person I became in the process.
Here’s what I know about your highest and best next chapter.
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about coming home to yourself.
And it starts with three simple (but not always easy) steps:
Listen — Give yourself the space to hear what your soul is really asking for.
Trust — Believe that your inner wisdom knows the way, even if the next steps feel uncertain.
Act — Take one courageous step that moves you closer to the life that feels like yours again.
That’s it. Over and over again.
What’s next for you?
Maybe it’s finally booking the trip.
Maybe it’s changing careers.
Maybe it’s letting go of something that’s been weighing you down.
Maybe it’s something so small it doesn’t seem worth mentioning — but you know it will change everything.
Only you can know what your highest and best next chapter looks like. But you don’t have to figure it out alone.
If you’ve been feeling that same whisper — that pull toward more — I’d love to have you join us.
✨ This September, I’m guiding a small group of women through an 8-week experience to get clear on what’s next, reconnect with themselves, and take aligned steps forward.

But whether you join us or not…
I hope you keep listening.
Keep trusting.
Keep saying yes — in whatever way is right for you.
Because this isn’t just about travel.
✨ It’s about finding yourself again.
Next week, I’ll be shifting gears and sharing something a little different — a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m preparing for the next leg of the journey. I’ll walk you through the planning, packing, and soul-led decisions that go into long-term travel (and life).
If you’ve been curious what it really looks like behind the pretty pictures, stay tuned. I’ll be sharing it all.
To your highest and best,
Dianna
