How do I ask for an informational chat? (Albuquerque)

I sent 3 messages on a professional network and got two replies. There are 3 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I want advice, not a job directly. How do you phrase the request?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
