Love the concept of having a conversation, and truly listening, when there is zero wanting of an outcome.

This article feels like it’s a bit of a contradiction in purpose tho, because it continues into a marketing pitch.

Is it possible to simple connect without “making use of” your essay?

Hey teyani! Not sure I fully understand what you are saying but I appreciate you being here! The idea of the conversation is exactly as described - however these newsletters and all of our essays are (unapologetically) intentionally designed to bring attention to our work and our offers for the network and sacred growth club. We are full time coaches and creators running a business - so there is absolutely an agenda there - one that aligns income with impact. The point of the article was that carving out space like described can be a powerful way of creating connection without any pressure of needing to talk about an offer - and knowing the intention of that time is that - pure connection. Other things (like this newsletter) have other intentions and goals - and sales is very much one of them.

A conversation that doesn’t go anywhere, it could be like a homebody, you know, and just wants to hang around.

I was just playing on words…. When a conversation doesn’t go anywhere.? I said, maybe it’s just a homebody, the conversation doesn’t wanna go anywhere because it’s lazy… just wants to hang out. Haha I was making a joke. Not such a great joke obviously. Hahah
