Greetings my friends,

As we approach the end of another transformative year, it’s a perfect time to reflect on our journey and set our intentions for the coming year.  The new year invites us to step into our full potential and create a life full of meaning and service.  As we prepare to welcome 2024, let’s embark on this journey together with open hearts and a shared commitment to healing, connection, and transformation.

As I reflect back on 2023 I am grateful for the challenges and the triumphs. I made some big strides this past year and I’m proud of myself for taking the leap to grow, not only personally, but my coaching practice and retreat company too. I started working with a coach again this year, which has helped me tremendously.  I have stepped way out of my comfort zone and taken some pretty big risks. Whew!!  I certainly can't encourage you to do things that I wouldn't do!  

I usually host 1 retreat in Bali, but this year I hosted 2, which was definitely a big leap of faith.  I am so grateful to have had 16 amazing women beside me on that healing journey.  We all connected on such a deep level and remain a great support system for each other.  I offered complimentary coaching at the retreats to help the guests process and gain clarity around what was coming up for them.  I also created a follow up support program for guests after they go home and I’m so pleased to see the results the ladies are experiencing as we continue the coaching process!  Being able to purchase sessions one at a time as needed has made the process much easier and very affordable for my (past or future) retreat guests.

I also launched and filled 3 new retreats for 2024!  Expanding into Italy next year, returning to Bali and looking into a more compact wellness retreat in Mexico.  Stay tuned for those details!

I am fully stepping into my gifts this next year so that I can in turn bring so much more value and service to you! I’m saying this here so you can hold me to it!

I also spent 4 months in Bali and the surrounding islands, traveling solo, and with friends. I focused deeper on my morning practice of meditation, journaling and exercise, which in turn helped me to calm my nervous system, sleep better and feel amazing!  I read at least 12 books and listened to hundreds of podcasts, all to benefit my knowledge base around coaching, health and creating life changing international retreats.  I am doing the work with you my friend!  We are all a beautiful work in progress and perfectly imperfect as we are!

I’m curious how you would like 2024 to look for you?  If it were to be your best year so far what story would you be telling friends and family at the end of next year?  I’d love to dive into that with you and peel back the layers to reveal your biggest dreams and help you to navigate a course to creating THAT life!  We do get to curate this life, it doesn't just happen by luck or happenstance… I’m ready, are you?

I wish you a holiday season filled with so much love, laughter, family, friends and abundant blessings!  Don't forget to kiss someone special under the mistletoe too!

In gratitude always,

Hello my friend,

This has been on my mind a lot lately and I wanted to share a few insights with you, in case you've also experienced some of these feelings about traveling alone.  
Solo travel can be an incredibly empowering and enriching experience for women. While some may have concerns about safety, with careful planning and preparation, solo travel can offer many benefits that are worth considering. In this newsletter, we will discuss some of the benefits of solo travel for women.

1. Boosts Self-Confidence

Solo travel allows women to step out of their comfort zones and take control of their experiences. This can be incredibly empowering, and it can help women to develop a greater sense of self-confidence. Traveling alone means relying on yourself to navigate unfamiliar surroundings, communicate with locals, and make decisions. As you successfully navigate these challenges, your confidence in yourself and your abilities will grow.

1. Fleibility and Freedom

When you travel alone, you have the freedom to make your own decisions and change your plans as you see fit. You can decide where to go, what to see, and when to do it without having to compromise with anyone else's interests or schedules. This level of flexibility and freedom allows women to tailor their travel experience to their own desires and interests.

1. Opportunity for Self-Discovery

Solo travel provides an opportunity for women to discover more about themselves. Without the distractions of others, women can take the time to reflect on their thoughts and emotions, learn more about their values, and gain a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. This can lead to personal growth and a greater sense of self-awareness.

1. Cultural Immersion

Traveling alone allows women to immerse themselves in the local culture fully. It offers an opportunity to connect with locals, experience the local customs and traditions, and learn about the local way of life. This can provide a more authentic travel experience and a deeper appreciation for the culture and its people.

1. Overcoming Fear and Anxiety

For some women, solo travel may seem daunting, and they may have fears or anxieties about traveling alone. However, by facing these fears and stepping outside of their comfort zones, women can develop a greater sense of resilience and self-reliance. Overcoming these challenges can be incredibly empowering, and it can help women to face other challenges in their lives with greater confidence and courage.

In conclusion, solo travel can be an incredibly empowering and enriching experience for women. While safety is always a concern, with proper planning and preparation, women can enjoy the benefits of solo travel, including increased self-confidence, flexibility and freedom, self-discovery, cultural immersion, and overcoming fears and anxieties. By embracing these benefits, women can embark on a journey of personal growth and discovery.

I  have 2 retreats for women in Bali this year if you feel called to experience some solo travel combined with meeting other similar women in one of the top travel destinations in the world. Please check out our retreat page here: https://www.cheryldavenport.com/retreats
