In this mid-season reflection of The Dragonfly Almanac, Paula pauses at the halfway point of Season One to reflect on the conversations so far - from resilience and rebuilding to ethical business and community-led growth.

This entry offers grounded guidance for navigating uncertainty in the world today, practical ways to build portable stability, and a look ahead to the next eight episodes and future seasons still to unfold.

A calm, clarifying checkpoint - reminding you that freedom is built in rhythm, not reaction.

Knowledge is power. Awareness is freedom. Travel is living.

In Entry Seven of The Dragonfly Almanac, Paula sits down with Anna Green, the founder of Direct Selling Success to explore what this business model really looks like beneath the surface.

Together they unpack identity, integrity, community, and how flexible entrepreneurship can create freedom, travel, and sustainable income when built with intention.

In Entry Six of The Dragonfly Almanac, Paula is joined by a guest whose life story spans travel, profound loss, single motherhood, and rebuilding through community.

Together they explore resilience, raising four children into adulthood, and how travel can become both healing and expansion - a reminder that freedom isn’t always about distance, but about choosing to move forward.

In this entry of The Dragonfly Almanac, Paula is joined by a guest - Rukaya Chunwae, whose work bridges compassion and action.

Supporting refugees in the UK through practical guidance and entrepreneurial pathways, her work centres dignity, stability, and possibility - even in the most uncertain circumstances.

Recently recognised at the 2025 Business Ascension Awards, this conversation explores movement across borders and seasons of life, the difference between chosen and unchosen travel, and the quiet power of community when it truly shows up.

A reflective discussion on resilience, purpose, and what it really means to create a sense of home - wherever you are in the world.
