Coddiwomple.
Yup. That’s a word. It’s a thing.
Not in most dictionaries. But it’s out there waiting for you.
Coddiwomple is defined as: To travel purposefully toward a vague destination
I stumbled upon it on someone’s LinkedIn profile following the B for Good Leaders conference in Amsterdam.
It was one of those moments when you come across a word that connects language to a feeling that is ever-present yet hard to put your finger on—a pleasantly jarring shift from the abstract to the tangible.
Ever since, it has felt like an energetic force driving how I show up in the world.
I know why I’m here. To become the best version of myself in service to the world. To give back in spades all that I have been blessed with.
I know how I want to show up: with presence, love, and a generosity of spirit.
I know why karmadharma exists: To help individuals and organizations fulfill their potential, amplify their impact and have the courage to be themselves in this lifetime. Help them design lives and organizations that are meaningful and fulfilling to them.
Yet, how that all turns out and exactly what that looks like, I don’t know. How big? Where? What products and services? What structure? Not sure.
And what a breath of fresh air to make peace with the unknown. To hold space for the question of how this could all turn out.
Permission to let go. Permission to just be.
Liberated from the attachment to the outcome of our actions. How we think things “should” turn out.
All we have to do is show up. Fiercely committed to our values. Anchored in a mindset of service.
Having faith that shape and form will manifest themselves as a result of this energy and determined intentionality.
So yes, I’m a dedicated coddiwompler inviting you on the journey toward your unknown, yet deeply fulfilling, destination.
