Hey y’all! 💕
Happy Sunday - I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m writing from San Francisco, spending the weekend with two of my closest college friends. We met in my entrepreneurship org at UCLA, and over time, we became inseparable - the kind of friends who feel like family no matter the years or distance (they’re also my “littles” hehe). One of them just moved here from NYC, and it’s been a few years since we last saw each other. You know those rare friendships where no matter how much time passes, you pick up right where you left off - laughing, reflecting, and fully being yourself? That’s the kind of soul-filling connection this weekend has been. It’s a reminder that true friendship really is one of life’s greatest gifts.
✨ What’s Next — SF & Community Building
Being here has me thinking… I might start hosting GDT events and creator meetups in the Bay Area too. I’m in early talks about a possible collaboration with a creator platform located here for October - more on that soon 👀
🍁 A Season of “Back to My Roots”
Spending time at home has also inspired me to slow down a little this fall and reconnect with what matters most - family, purpose, and the why behind everything I’m building. Life in LA is always fast-paced, so this new season will be a more intentional “heads-down” chapter for me. I’m locking in and focusing deeply these next three months - because a lot can change in 90 days when we’re focused.
🌍 Bringing GDT Back to Its Origin Story
In that same spirit, I’m also bringing GDT back to its roots - to the original inspiration that started it all. That means more travel experiences, retreats, and global adventures coming in 2026 🌎.
At its core, GDT has always been about creating spaces for ambitious, growth-oriented people to expand - both internally (in who they are and how they show up) and externally (in their careers, creativity, and global perspective). If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place.
🎥 New Reels: The Story Behind GDT
I’ve been opening up more about that story and our values on Instagram lately. If you missed them, here are a few recent reels you can check out:
Each one shares a key lesson I’ve learned through travel, challenges, and connection - from uncovering your values, to turning breakdowns into breakthroughs, to creating clarity and purpose through meaningful experiences.
☕️ Join the Community
If you’ve been curious about becoming a GDT member, I’d love to connect. You can book a casual coffee chat with me here.
Membership is for people who want to grow, connect, and create alongside other ambitious, like-minded dreamers.
I’m also thinking about shifting how membership works a bit - likely making the cohort experience the first step before becoming a full member (so you can join these experiences early!). Just giving you a heads-up so you know what’s coming.
✨ If you’re interested in being part of the next cohort or want to be the first to know when enrollment opens, you can fill out the quick interest form here. Spots are limited, so you’ll want to jump in early to secure your place and get early access to these experiences!
💭 Something to Reflect On:
This week, ask yourself - What’s one small way I can “get back to my roots” and reconnect with what truly matters?
With love,
