August 13 - Gifting Paths Special Privilege!
@Kate originally outlined this update here!
We are excited to tell you that this is NOW live!!!
In order to unlock the ability to gift paths to members you must reach the following criteris:
- 3 months+ old listener account
- Active in the last 3 months
- Verified listener badge
- Reconnection Hero 1 badge - for completing 5 chats each with 10 different members
- steadfast soul 3 badge - for completing 50 chats with the same member
You can track your progress on the certificate page! AND here is how you can access -

And click through to "rewards" tab -

And once you meet all the criteria.... yay!!

I never understood this. Honestly I don't get the standards of having to meet a certain amount of text reviews and such - isn't it better for a Listener to stay with someone as long as they are needed? I feel we will have to choose between doing this and taking many chats a day (risking dropping our quality of care) or not sticking with people and only allowing each chat to be a temporary one day thing.
How do you get the reconnection hero badge?
@666jacobjackson666
Complete 5 chats with 10 different members, i believe
@Laura
Thanks for the clarification! I was a little confused how to access ^^
i unlocked this :) sent it to my member account ty for the awesome update
I sent it to my member account to check it out however will I get another to share and how do yiu obtain more than one?? Thanks in advance ....
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful just tagging the CMs they can best answer questions @Laura @Kate
@CaringBrit thank you! Sweet you are!
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Hey there! I am afraid that you can only gift it once to one member account (you gifted it to yours).
@SouthernFlame so you never get it again so one shot deal?!
I Thought it would be a regular feature and if over more than three months maybe more than one or one e dry three months just an idea
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Correct, as it is at the moment, it is a one time deal!
@SouthernFlame that I did not realize and wanted to see it using my member acct but now seeing some members would of loved it they need to rethink this and make it a regular feature great way to honor the listener and the member
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
yeah would be nice
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful Hi! You only get one. It's a bit like how when you donate money to 7 cups, you get to give one person a leaf, once .
I personally am waiting to find a member who deserves it as my M already has it :D
Oh noes. Looks like I have Steadfast Soul II, but looks like I'll need to get III first. Either way, this is an awesome post! Thanks for informing us all. <3
@CalmingStar
Looks like we'll both be working on this goal together!
@Emily619 @CalmingStar - you will both be there in no time!
I'll definitely aim to earn the Steadfast Soul III badge as I'm currently at level II with that series! This is a great update, though!
@Emily619 good luck emily! getting sponsees was my way to get there.
@Laura
Awesome!!! 
YAY! Ive always wanted to use those paths. Thank you so much!!!
I sent it to my member account :3 as much as I don't want to be selfish of it, I feel like I'll be needing it more for myself 
@Erato
Not selfish to take care of you
@Erato not selfish at all - I'm curious, what does it look like on your member account? Was there a pop up that said you got it or something?
@MarshmaIIows I don't think there's a pop-up but when I checked the Personalized Paths, it looks like the screenshot posted by Kate on her announcement thread but they're unlocked c: click me
