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.

Dragonfly Almanac Speaker Application

A conversational exploration of what it really means to have a travel business without being a traditional travel agent. This entry unpacks access, community, and alternative routes through the travel industry, inviting listeners to rethink freedom, income, and movement in a way that fits real life.

A grounding opening to The Dragonfly Almanac, exploring this quiet time of year, our relationship with travel, and the importance of orientation before action.

This entry invites you to pause, reframe what travel and freedom can look like, and settle into a sense of calm, clarity, and trust before the journey unfolds.

The Dragonfly Almanac is a spoken guide - for modern wayfarers, travellers, and entrepreneurs who are building freedom beyond the map.

If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance you don’t quite fit into traditional boxes.

• You may love travel, but you’re not a travel agent.
• You may be in business, but hustle culture never sat right with you.
• You may feel called to more movement, more time, more space - but also more alignment.

This Almanac exists for that in-between place.

Why an Almanac
Historically, almanacs weren’t novels.
They were guides - consulted before journeys, before trades, before decisions.

People returned to them:

To understand cycles

To read the signs

To choose the right timing, not just the right action

This is a modern version of that tradition - shared through voice instead of paper.

Each entry you’ll hear here is offered as navigation, not instruction.

You’re invited to listen when you’re:

✅️ Considering a shift in business

✅️ Feeling the pull to travel differently

✅️ Questioning the traditional path

✅️ Or standing at the edge of something new, without a clear map

What You’ll Find Here
The Dragonfly Almanac weaves together three strands:

Travel - not just destinations, but movement as a way of living
Business - particularly travel businesses within network marketing, without being a travel agent
Alignment & Manifestation - intuition, energy, timing, and trust

We’ll talk about:

Building a travel-based business that fits around life, not the other way round

Redefining success beyond titles and transactions

Navigating uncertainty with clarity instead of force

Letting travel expand you - personally, financially, spiritually

Sometimes these entries will feel practical.
Sometimes reflective.
Sometimes like a reminder you didn’t know you needed.

How to Listen
You don’t need to listen in order.
You don’t need to binge.

Think of each episode as an entry - something to return to when it’s relevant to where you are.

You might listen while:

Walking

Travelling

Sitting with a notebook

Or simply pausing before a decision

Let what resonates land.
Let what doesn’t pass by.

This is not about consuming more information.
It’s about remembering what you already know.

Why the Dragonfly

The dragonfly has long symbolised:
✨️ Transformation
✨️ Perspective
✨️ Lightness
✨️ The ability to move between worlds

Much like travel does.
Much like aligned business does.

The Dragonfly Almanac is rooted in the belief that freedom doesn’t come from doing more - but from seeing differently.

If you stay with this space, you’ll hear stories, insights, and reflections drawn from lived experience - of building a travel business in a non-traditional way, of choosing alignment over urgency, and of trusting movement as part of the path.

This is not about selling you a dream.

It’s about sharing a way of seeing.

Thank you for being here.
For listening with intention.
And for choosing a path that may not be obvious - but feels true.

And remember:

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