You can set things down here; talk about your day; or simply rest a while.

Your story is kept safe for you, just as you left it, ready whenever you are. And when you come back, the world has a little more to show you.

On My Way is a gentle, enchanting way to recognise your progress.

Each visit, however small, leaves something beautiful behind.

Alicia, who made On My Way, smiling

Who made this

I’m Alicia

I’m a creator, a founder, a publisher, an author, a songwriter, an app builder, a poet, a mother, and someone who helps people find their way through change.

I’ve done so many things in my life: travelled, delved into courses, sung and volunteered. I hit the jackpot when I met my husband, and everything in my life since has revolved around creative work that, in one way or another, helps others.

Looks good, doesn’t it?

Well, I also have a secret expertise you won’t find on my LinkedIn profile:

I am an unwilling expert in setbacks and cycles.

My story

For eighteen years I have been ill, sometimes worse, sometimes better. I’ve had to relearn to walk, had many different operations, and dipped in and out of depression. For months at a time my mind thought in stutters. Whenever I felt a little better, I would throw myself ferociously into catching up and doing things. I managed some big things, some small things, and sometimes not much at all. I constantly overdid it, using energy I did not have, relapsed, doubled down with burnout, and the cycle continued.

Then I discovered that I was autistic, and other pieces of my life finally made sense. After another major operation this year, complete with setbacks and exhaustion, I finally began to heal. Again I found myself in the in-between: not quite well, but longing to do everything at once, with so much time to make up for.

Lying in bed, with steaming tea beside me and Clyde, our cat, curled up nearby, I built myself a little map to see my dreams clearly and finally have a sense of how far I had come. I created a companion to talk things through with. On My Way grew from those two things.

I knew that if I was going through this, many other people might be in a similar place: longing to get back to a life that seems to have left them behind, yet without much energy to do it. I reached out over the internet to talk to people and find support. And then I made On My Way, for anyone finding their way back to a life that feels like theirs.

I hope it helps you reconnect with what you love, and meet the you you can now become.

My First Step

You can join as a First Traveller, a Dreamer on the waitlist, a Founder Traveller or an Angel Traveller.

A companion cat with teal and gold fur, framed in a golden portrait frame under the stars Become a First Traveller (opens in a new tab)
As a beta user, you help form the On My Way world.
  • You test the first version for 14 days: you talk to your companion by voice for the first week, then by text for the second. There’s nothing for you to pay: I’m carrying your two weeks.
  • Your name, photo and contribution will be added to the Tapestry of Travellers (unless you’d prefer to be anonymous), and as you test, your ideas for user ease and features may form even more of the world as it grows.
  • Top contributors* may also ask for a small feature of their own, something just for you, which I’ll add to On My Way if I can make it: a souvenir of gratitude and support as you continue on your way.
  • As a top contributor, you can still have a Founder pass even after Founder sales close. Instead of the £100 Dreamer price, your first year is £80, paid once, with all the Founder extras: the founder’s lantern, the Founder mark and a call with me.

* A top contributor is a person who completes the 14 days of testing.

You might not have the time or energy to be a first traveller, but you may want to enter the forest.

When the prototype hatches into a world you can enter, being on the waitlist brings you:

  • Instead of the £120 yearly fee, your first year is £100, paid once. Nothing renews.
  • Want the best price? Founder Travellers pay £80 now, before the doors open.
  • The hope of an Angel pass. Tick the box when you join the waitlist if you’d love one, and when an Angel Traveller gives a year, it goes to the next Dreamer who asked.

I will carry the API cost in gratitude for your interest and to support you as you continue on your way.

Step in early, and help the first forest grow.

Founder Travellers walk into On My Way before the doors open to everyone. Your pass helps carry the forest’s first running costs, and it brings:

  • Early entry, soon after the first travellers have smoothed the path
  • Your first year in On My Way
  • A founder’s lantern that appears in every landscape you reach, given only to founders.
  • The Founder mark beside your name on the Tapestry of Travellers, or stay anonymous if you prefer
  • A fifteen-minute call with me, if you’d like one: ask questions, tell me your story, and let me thank you
  • The usual yearly fee will be £120. Yours is £80, paid once, for your first year: the lowest price there will ever be, for paying before the doors open. Nothing renews.

When: Founders step in during spring 2027. I’ll write to you as the forest grows, and if the date moves, you’ll hear it from me first.

Change your mind? You can have a full refund at any time before you step in, for any reason, and within 14 days of first stepping in.

Just email firststep@onmyway.day and I’ll refund you within 14 days.

Step in early, and carry another traveller with you.

Your pass gives you a year in On My Way, and gives a year to someone living with chronic illness who couldn’t otherwise afford it. It brings:

  • Early entry with the founders, soon after the first travellers have smoothed the path
  • Your first year in On My Way
  • A year in On My Way for another traveller
  • An angel bird that joins you in every landscape you reach, given only to angels
  • The Angel mark beside your name on the Tapestry of Travellers, or stay anonymous if you prefer

Have someone in mind? Email me their name and email address, and your gift goes to them. If not, it goes to the next person on the Dreamer Waitlist who has asked for one.

  • £200, paid once. You pay the full price of £120 for your own year, and £80 for the year you give. Nothing renews.
  • The year you give lasts one year, and nothing renews automatically, for you or for them.

When: Angels step in with the founders during spring 2027. I’ll write to you as the forest grows, and if the date moves, you’ll hear it from me first.

Change your mind? You can have a full refund of the whole pass at any time before either of you steps in, and of your own year within 14 days of first stepping in. Once the traveller you carry has stepped in, their year can’t be refunded, because someone is using it.

Just email firststep@onmyway.day and I’ll refund you within 14 days.
