Beyond excited to share this space, this energy, this growth, and so much joy with the incredible women who have said YES to themselves.
Looking back, one of the most transformative decisions I've ever made was simply saying yes to myself.
Over the years, I've attended many retreats, each with a different purpose. Every single one has given me something I didn't even know I needed. Rest. Clarity. Friendship. Healing. Confidence. Laughter. Perspective.
People would often tell me, "You look amazing! What are you doing?" They saw something different on the outside, but what had really changed was within. My body was simply reflecting what my soul had experienced, the care, the lightness, the permission to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with myself.
I've learned that while vacations are wonderful, retreats offer something entirely different.
A vacation helps us escape our lives for a little while.
A retreat helps us return to our lives differently.
The memories last just as long, but the impact reaches far beyond the trip itself. The friendships, the insights, the renewed energy, the courage to make changes, the feeling of remembering who you are... those gifts continue long after you've unpacked your suitcase.
I've watched friends and family celebrate my experiences from afar, wishing they could feel what I felt, yet hesitating to give themselves the same gift. I understand. Investing in ourselves can feel uncomfortable at first. But some experiences simply can't be explained, they have to be lived.
That is one of the reasons Joy and I felt so called to create these retreats. To create a space where women feel seen, supported, celebrated, and reminded that they are worthy of the same love and care they so freely give to everyone else.
To the beautiful women joining us in Portugal... thank you for choosing yourselves. I truly cannot wait to witness your journey.
And if you've ever been curious about what a retreat is really like, my inbox is always open. I'd love to share my experience, answer your questions, or simply have a conversation.
Sometimes one small "yes" becomes the beginning of everything.
Not pictured below is one of the best part of all my retreats: all the friends that shared the experience with me.
