The Connection Project

I am a women who loves connection and recognizes my own need to be more intentional about “getting out there” and meeting/reconnecting with more people.

I’m not famous and I’m not looking for fame.

I love the idea of “connection ripples” and that our conversation may inspire you toward more intentional connections. The world needs more authentic connection!

Or maybe it won’t! That’s okay, too.

You can learn more about me here. There will NOT be a quiz!

Oh, I’ve been there. People I never hear from suddenly reaching out to “catch up” and then tell me about how we should work together. Live calls and webinars with “all this great, free info” which of course are sales calls.

This IS NOT THAT. In fact, this is a personal project and isn’t related to my business. Yes, this webpage is on my business page because that’s an easy place to put it. But this isn’t a business event.

In fact, my hope and desire are that we won’t talk about work at all! There is so much of that in the world. I’d rather talk about who we are than what we do.

I promise not to try to sell you anything. For real. Nothing connected about the bait & switch!

I get it. There’s a lot going on in life and you’re busy with work, friends, family, and time for yourself. The idea is for this to feel fun and easy, not like some dreaded duty.

Each mini-connection chat will last about 5-10 minutes (scheduled for 15). If we’re having a great time and it works for us both, we can chat for longer. The key is that we are both present and intentional in our time together- whether that’s a 10 minute chat or an hour lunch.

My goal is to have at least 2025 total minutes of intentional connection conversations in the year 2025. That comes out to 5.54794520548 minutes with someone each day of the 365 days of the year. That’s it! Pretty incredible how quickly it adds up.

Fear not. This is a conversation, not an interview. I won’t pepper you with questions and not participate. The intention is for things for be a bit more personal than “How about that weather?” but not “Tell me your deepest secrets.” There’s no pressure and honestly, not a lot of rules!

I have a long history of being a phone talker, sometimes for hours! I’m pretty sure I got that from my mom.

And for this project, I am requesting video or in-person and avoiding phone talk Why? Because seeing others and non-verbal communication is a vital part of meaningful connections. The research supports it! Plus, seeing each other will help us both stay more present and less distracted. Multi-tasking doesn’t promote meaningful connection.

So please, consider connecting with me via video or in-person. I promise I don’t care how you look, if you showered, if you’re in your jammies, or anything else. Thanks!

Nope. This project isn’t about blogging or sharing, it’s about a few minutes of intentional time with another human. It’s about an “in person” mini-connection in a world where so much communication is taking place via text, messages, social media posts, and email.

While we may not get the opportunity to be in the same physical space, we can at least see each other on video and spend some focused time together.

I won’t share any of your information without your consent. It’s possible I’ll write some updates along the way, and I will never share your personal info or stories without your explicit permission. You have my word!

Yes! Please do share this with other people! I am looking for people of all ages, including kids and older generations.

Have a parent that’s kind of lonely and would love to chat? I’m here for it. Have a kid who likes to talk to adults? Talking with kids is a personal favorite for me— so much insight!

I’m happy to talk with anyone with whom we can find a way to communicate. While English is my primary language, I’m willing to explore ways to connect with people for whom English isn’t the primary language. Why should be connection be limited that way? I can’t promise perfection, and I can promise to do my best!

So yes, please share about this project! While I’m not interested in “going viral,” I am interested in diversity and your support and sharing can really help.

Here’s how it works-

Open the scheduling link and answer out the questions.

Once you sign up, I will email you directly and we can confirm a time that works for both of us. Please note your preferred times in the form you’ll fill out. (It’s short and easy)

We will meet via video or possibly in-person if we are in the same physical area. A Zoom link will be sent in your confirmation email.

Nothing! The only request is that we meet at a time, and that you’re in a place, where you can focus and be present.

That means not chatting when you’re driving. Safety first!

Other than that, bring your sense of fun and curiosity.

That’s it.

I get it. So many “freebies” and “connections” are thinly veiled attempts to get you to buy something. While I run a business, this isn’t about my business or selling you anything.

This is not a coaching call.

This is not a call to talk about your aches and pains and “pick my brain.”

This is a chat with two humans just being human and having a consensual, intentional few minutes of conversation.

That’s it. Not ulterior motives at all.

I’ll be sharing bits and pieces along the way (never your personal info or conversations) in my Substack “Life Connected.”

I share about all kinds of things there!

You can subscribe for free if you’d like to follow along. If you enjoy it, there are payment options and payment is NOT required to read my pieces at this point.

That said, if you’d like to support me, I will gratefully accept. While voluntary and self-initiated, this project is taking a good bit of time and energy. And it’s completely worth it to me!

I’m working on answering more questions. What else would you like to know about my 2025 in 2025 Connection Project? Let me know so I can share with you!
