5 reasons to join the Unsettled Collective (from those who’ve lived it)

Have you ever wondered what your life would look like if you stopped settling?

If instead of chasing another promotion or job title, you chose clarity, creativity, and community?

That’s the question more than 5,000 professionals have asked themselves before joining Unsettled - a global movement that’s been helping people rethink what a meaningful life and career can look like.

Now, Unsettled has launched The Unsettled Collective: a year-long, virtual programme for people who are ready to stop drifting and start designing the next chapter of their lives - with a global community of changemakers by their side. It’s built for those who want structure, support, and space to figure out what comes next - and how to move towards it with purpose.

Applications to join as a Founding Member have been extended, until Monday 11th August. Apply here by selecting "Which retreat are you interested in joining? The Unsettled Collective - July 15 Deadline."

1. Make space to reflect on what truly matters to you

It’s easy to stay on autopilot - but meaningful change rarely happens when your calendar’s packed and your energy’s running on empty. The Unsettled Collective is designed to give you the time and headspace to reconnect with your values, reassess your direction, and consider what's truly important - before rushing into what’s next.

“Unsettled allowed me to first and foremost re-connect to myself, step out of the rat race and gain a new perspective on what makes me happy.” – Ivana Musić

2. Embrace uncertainty - and make space for possibility

You don’t need a five-year plan to take your next step. In fact, some of the most rewarding paths emerge when you stop needing certainty and start exploring. The Collective helps you shift your mindset - from fear of the unknown to excitement for the possible.

“I realised how easy it was for me to close myself off to other possibilities in order to have a destination – any destination – in mind… I have started becoming more comfortable with options and possibilities to give them the space they deserve…" – Mitsy Chanel-Bot

3. Build your global community

Real change is easier when you’re not doing it alone. Through curated introductions, connection sessions, and an engaged global network, The Collective gives you the kind of community most of us crave — one that gets you, challenges you, and supports you.

“An amazing way to connect with people from across the globe… This community is all about learning, challenging, contributing, and sharing.” – Sandhya Sudhakar

4. Design your life with intention

Whether you're considering a career change, launching something new, or simply rethinking what success means to you, The Collective offers the structure to do it with purpose. You’ll set goals, track progress, and build a life that aligns with who you are - not just what you’ve done.

“Unsettled changed my view on decision making and instead look at life as a series of experiments – which is such a freeing concept.” – BaoAnh Duong

5. Built-in accountability to keep you moving forward

It’s one thing to set big life goals - it’s another to stay committed to them. The Unsettled Collective offers monthly accountability check-ins, structured with breakout rooms and dedicated head-down work sessions. This format helps you stay focused, supported, and motivated every step of the way.

“I jumped at the chance to get a clearer view on my own decision making through Unsettled. I came out with a solid foundation and heightened self-awareness, a wealth of tools to stay on, and correct course and a community to support me in my next steps.” - Yatan Blumenthal
