A reminder that our new episode is available now!

As you age, your workout shouldn’t stay stuck in your 20s. Let movement become part of your identity, not just another task on your to-do list.

You don’t need two hours in the gym to “count” anymore - 30–45 intentional minutes, a few times a week, can boost your energy, sharpen your best business ideas, and still support your long-term health.

And as life changes, so can the way you move. Maybe that looks less like chasing PBs in the weight room and more like improving your golf game or finding new ways to feel good in your body.

That’s real self-care: letting your fitness evolve with you, instead of trying to squeeze yourself into an old version of who you used to be.

Retreats are so much more than a few days away in a beautiful location. They’re a sacred pause where people choose to invest their time, money, energy, and trust in you - and that is never something to take lightly.

When someone leaves their home, family, and business to be in your space, it’s a profound compliment and a powerful responsibility.

My intention with every retreat is to honour that trust fully: to hold space with care, to curate experiences that genuinely serve, and to make sure attendees leave feeling seen, supported, and expanded.

If you’re planning a retreat, remember: it’s not just an event - it’s stewardship of people’s deepest hopes and highest expectations. Treat it that way, and the transformation takes care of itself.

Full circle doesn’t even cover it.

Last May (May 2025) I nearly didn’t make it to France for a retreat with retreat professionals.

My friend Erin had invited me.

48 hours of travel delays nearly curtailed the whole plan.

But the universe felt my desire to get there, and it helped me make it happen anyway…late, exhausted, but there.

Five days later, I walked out and boarded a plane home knowing my path had changed.

That’s the power of a room.

The power of being in an experience away from your day-to-day life long enough to actually hear yourself think, and to align with where you’re headed without a thousand daily distractions pulling you away from it.

That trip didn’t just open one door.

It opened several; new friends, new clients, business opportunities I couldn’t have predicted sitting at my desk back home.

Fast forward to earlier this year and we’ve acquired Luxury in Business Retreats and incorporated it into the Alison K brand.

And next week, I’m heading back to France…to Sancerre this time, and I’ll be co-leading the room.

I’m telling you because a year is not a long time, and yet an entire path can shift inside of it.

That’s not a pipe dream or a highlight-reel exaggeration.

It’s just what happens when you say yes to the room before you fully understand why.

I’ve watched it happen for other retreat leaders too, not just for me: a single decision, made without a five-year plan behind it, that ends up being the hinge everything else swings on.

This is the work I do with my clients; helping them build the business they actually dream about, not just the one they’ve settled for managing day to day.
It rarely starts with a perfect plan. It starts with a decision, and the plan catches up.

The universe doesn’t make mistakes.

Our work is simply to stay in possibility of what’s possible for us, and to believe, and to follow the path we feel pulled toward, even when it doesn’t make perfect sense yet.

You don’t need the whole picture. You just need the decision.

I’m grateful for the version of me last year that got on that plane two days late to get to what was next.

What will it be for you?

Todays episode with Katie Naughton "Lessons in Leadership" we talk about ambitious women.

Ambitious women aren’t short on drive – we’re short on spaces where we can be honest about how hard it really feels.

In this episode, we explore what happens when you’re building a business without a true female sounding board, and why “just push through” advice isn’t enough.

From the isolation of leadership to the relief of being seen, you’ll hear the story behind creating a community where women can be wildly ambitious and deeply vulnerable at the same time.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I the only one feeling this way?” this conversation is your reminder that you’re not alone – and that there is a space for you to grow, share, and be fully yourself in business.

The next chapter of our retreats is almost ready to be revealed.

New destinations.

New experiences.

New opportunities to step away from everyday life and give yourself the time, space, and perspective that can be so difficult to find at home.

We've been quietly working behind the scenes on what comes next, and soon we'll be sharing exactly where we're going.

If you've watched previous retreats unfold and thought, "I wish I'd known about that sooner," this is your opportunity to get ahead of the announcement.

Our retreat waitlist is where you'll hear about new experiences first.

You'll get the details.

The dates.

The destinations.

And the opportunity to explore joining us before everyone else hears about them.

Some of the most exciting experiences begin long before you board the plane.

They begin with deciding you're ready to make space for yourself.

✨ Our New 2027 retreat details will be revealed soon.

Join the waitlist now and be among the first to discover where we're heading next.

September has always felt like more than the end of summer to me.

It’s a decision point.

You can ease back into your routines, pick up where you left off, and coast toward the end of the year.

Or you can stretch.

Not by doing more just for the sake of doing more.

By looking at what you actually want from the next few months and deciding whether the way you’re showing up can get you there.

Maybe something needs to change.

Maybe something needs to go.

Maybe the thing you’ve been putting off until “later” needs to become the thing you finally start.

I call this stretch season because growth usually asks us to move beyond what has become comfortable.

That applies to business.

It applies to our bodies.

And it absolutely applies to our lives.

So before another week begins, ask yourself:

Where have I been coasting when I know I’m ready to stretch?

September is a pretty good time to find out.

Getting stronger in your 40s isn’t about chasing your 20-something PBs – it’s about building a body that can carry the life you actually want to live.

You don’t have to accept “everything hurts after 40” as your story. When you focus on what you can control – smart training, quality movement, better recovery – you can feel stronger, more capable, and more resilient now than you did a decade ago.

It’s not just about looking good (though that’s a bonus); it’s about moving well, staying injury-free, and knowing your body can keep up with the life you’re here to live. Strong, on your own terms, for the long run.

Todays episode with Javier Guitterez -- "The Power of Being Strong" on the Ultimate Journey of Self Care is out now.

This is not one you want to miss. Listen now on your favorite Podcast streaming platform.

Are you building a retreat business but feel totally lost when it comes to the “boring” stuff like insurance and money hacks?

In this convo, we’re calling out a huge gap in a $363B industry: retreat leaders are left to figure out insurance on their own, with zero clear guidance and very few tailored options. It’s frustrating, expensive, and honestly, it shouldn’t be this hard.

We’re dreaming bigger than just pointing at the problem. Imagine walking into a live event (or logging into a virtual one) and leaving with:
• Clarity on what kind of insurance you actually need
• A shortlist of people you can talk to
• Plus smart ways to use credit cards and points so your business spending is working for you, not against you

Think: travel hacks meets retreat strategy - so you can protect your business, stretch your budget, and unlock perks you didn’t even know you had access to. This is the kind of support retreat leaders are craving, and we’re ready to start the conversation.

Save this if you’re in the retreat space and want more education, more resources, and more out-of-the-box ideas to make your business sustainable and profitable.

Todays episode with Holly Porter--"A Intro to the International Retreat Association" on Creating the Worlds Best Client Experience is available now.
