What if curiosity is the answer?
The stars aligned for this launch
Hey travelpreneur,
Most people choose launch dates based on strategy.
I chose mine based on soul.
Wednesday, June 25, is a new moon — a cosmic reset. A clean slate. The most auspicious time to begin again.
But it’s also my late grandmother’s birthday. She would’ve turned 94 this year.
She passed away last November while I was heavily pregnant. I couldn’t travel to her funeral.
And even now, the ache still catches me off guard.
So when I looked at my calendar and saw the new moon falling on her birthday…
I knew that was the day I’d launch The Wildly Successful Sponsorship Studio™.
Not because of strategy. But because of legacy.
My grandmother was a paradox.
To the outside world, she was traditional. Religious. Quiet.
But behind the scenes? She was radical in the most understated ways.
In the 1950s, she earned a Master’s degree—and went on archaeological digs.
In the 60s, she and my grandpa (a pastor and professor), along with their 3 young children, lived and worked all over Europe—OG digital nomads/worldschooling family and definitely the source of my wanderlust.
She built her own website in the early 2000s to sell her embroidery (at least a decade before I first fumbled my way through building a blog in WordPress).
She painted murals in her 90s. Enrolled in undergrad degrees in her 80s—just for the fun of it.
She never stopped learning.
She taught me what it means to lead my life with curiosity.
To choose expansion over fear.
To create for the love of it, not the likes.
So when AI launched in 2022 and I lost 80% of my income as a freelance writer...
When clients ghosted, contracts dried up, and AI felt like a threat... I didn’t just panic (well, okay - a little, at first).
I did what I always watched her do.
I got curious.
Instead of seeing AI as the enemy, I asked:
🌀 What if I could learn this thing?
🌀 What if AI wasn’t here to replace us, but to support us?
🌀 What if I could use it to help other creators get paid to create?
The Wildly Successful Sponsorship Studio™ is my answer to those questions.
It’s the first-of-its-kind suite of AI tools made for travel creators—designed to help you go from pitch-shy to paid… with way less hustle.
And honestly? I wouldn’t have built it without her example.
She showed me that tech doesn’t have to be scary.
That you’re never too old or too “behind.”
That doing something new isn’t about being fearless—it’s about being curious enough to try.
So no… I didn’t pick June 25 just because it’s a good day to launch.
I picked it because it’s a sacred starting line.
And if you’ve been waiting for a sign to start pitching, to stop second-guessing, to finally create income from your content...
This is it.
Because this isn’t just a product.
It’s a legacy.
The creators who succeed in this next era won’t be the ones with the biggest audiences.
They’ll be the ones who stay curious.
Those who adapt.
Who know how to pitch from their power — and get paid for it.
And you don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to stay curious.
Keep an eye on your inbox on Wednesday… 👀
With love and moon magic,
Daniella 🌙
P.S. She would’ve been so fascinated by what I’m doing here.
