I'm going to be straightforward with you about the investment.

This is not an impulse purchase. It's a real decision. And it deserves a real conversation.
So here's what I want you to know.

For many of the women who attend, this retreat qualifies as a professional development write-off. The clarity, the strategy, and the intentional planning you leave with is absolutely professional and personal growth.

We can also offer to break up payments as best we can, with a full payment reached by December 21st but we also reward paid in full with a bonus — reach out and we can walk you through the options.

But beyond the practical piece — here's what women say on the other side of that decision:

"𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳."

"𝘐 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴, 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯, 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥, 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘴𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘐 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦."

"𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦-𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵, 𝘐 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘵."

We keep the group small on purpose. This experience is intentional, personal, and high-touch from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.

This is not a conference. It is not a vacation. It is not a weekend workshop.
It is six days that changes what the rest of your year looks like.

One of the most common things I hear from moms is: "𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨."

I can appreciate feeling that way. And I also know what I've watched happen when women give themselves permission anyway.

"𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯. 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦. 𝘋𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵, 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦. 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹𝘦𝘥, 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺, 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘯."

They come home different. Not just rested — actually different. More present. Less reactive. Clearer on what matters and what doesn't.

The mental load that had been building for months gets put down. The chatter quiets. And the woman who walks back through her front door has more to give — not because she's pushing through, but because her cup is actually full.

Six days away so you can be more present for the rest of the year isn't selfish. It's the most generous thing you can do for the people who need you most.

Your family doesn't need more of you running on empty. They need the version of you that came home from Mexico.

I hear this one a lot. "𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺."
And I get it. You are essential. Your team needs you. Your calendar is already full through the end of the year.

But here's what I've noticed about the women who almost didn't come:

"𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 — 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯."

The women who feel like they can't afford to step away are almost always the ones who need it most. Not because they're weak. Because they've been running at full capacity for so long they've accepted it as normal.

Six days away doesn't slow your year down. It changes the trajectory of it.

"𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳. 𝘎𝘰, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰."

If you've been waiting for a less busy season to give yourself permission — that season isn't coming. You know that.

This is how you create it on your own terms.

Most women come to the retreat alone.
And they leave having made some of the most genuine connections of their adult lives.

But some of our most powerful retreat experiences have been when women come together. Sisters. Best friends. The woman who has been in your corner through every hard season.
There is something different about doing this kind of internal work alongside someone you already love.

You leave with shared language. A shorthand for the things that shifted. Someone who was in the room when something cracked open — who can hold you to it when you get home and life tries to pull you back into the same patterns.

The retreat doesn't just change you individually. It gives you and the woman you bring a completely new foundation to stand on together. A shared experience that most people in your life will never fully understand — but she will. Because she was there.

Think about the woman in your life right now who needs this as much as you do. Your sister. Your best friend. The one you've been saying we should do something like this to for years.

This is that thing.

Spots are limited and we keep the group intentionally small.
Tag her in the comments or just send her this post. You know who she is.

Well done! Congratulations 🎉 proud to witness your journey and honored to be a part of it ❤️

A common thing I hear from women who are considering the retreat but haven't booked yet:
"𝘐'𝘮 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘴. 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦."

And I can appreciate that. Here's what I want you to know about what happens here.

"𝘐 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯. 𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 — 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘊𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳'𝘴."

Most don't know anyone when they arrive. By the end of day one that stops mattering entirely.

Because the women in that room are not strangers in the way most strangers are. They are navigating the same season. Carrying the same invisible weight. Performing the same version of fine for the people around them.

There is an undeniable relief when you sit in a room and realize you don't have to explain yourself. They already get it.

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦-𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵, 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘵."

You will not feel alone in that room. You will feel the opposite.

If not knowing anyone has been the thing holding you back — I hope this helps.

My business partner Jen has a line about her own journey. She left teaching and coaching, only to discover that she was a teacher and a coach all along.
I recently had my own version of it. I went looking for escape. What I found was freedom, and it looked nothing like I expected.
I spent ten days in complete silence. And I'll be honest about why I went. Not because I got spiritual, and not chasing enlightenment. I went because my mind and body had reached their limit, and some part of me knew that if I didn't stop on purpose, life would eventually stop me on its terms.
It felt like prison. No phone, no books, no talking, no eye contact. Up at 4 a.m. to a bell, every hour after that governed by bells. Even the food was decided for you. There were moments I genuinely thought prison sounded better.
For the first three days, all we did was observe the breath. And my mind was louder than it had ever been. Trying to settle it felt like breaking a wild horse. I wanted to leave several times a day, every day.
What kept me there was a metaphor the teacher used. These ten days are like surgery. You don't climb off the operating table halfway through and say "this is unpleasant, I'm leaving." You stay until it's finished. So every day I told myself, just stay one more day.
And somewhere past the middle, my body taught me something I'd spent years resisting: a sensation can be uncomfortable without being an emergency.
I came home lighter, calmer, more patient. Not because my problems had disappeared, but because there was suddenly more space between what happened and how I responded to it.
I went looking to escape my life. What I found was that I didn't need to. The freedom wasn't somewhere else. It was underneath the noise. I just couldn't hear it.

On the last day of our retreat, one woman said: “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘦. 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘴.”

I've thought about that a lot since then. The best 𝘎𝘐𝘍𝘛 her husband could've given her.

Because I know the woman you're thinking of right now. She is exceptional at showing up for everyone else. Her team, her family, her friends — fully, consistently, without complaint. And she is probably the last person who would ever book something like this for herself.
Not because she doesn't want it. Because she doesn't feel like she's allowed to want it.

That's where you come in.

Six days at a private oceanfront villa in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Private chef. Concierge service. Massage. A small, intentional group of women navigating the same season of life she is.

She will leave rested. She will leave clear. And she will come home different in a way that is very hard to put a price on.

If you know a woman who has been running on empty and putting herself last — this is the gift that changes her year.

Tag her below or share this with the person who needs to see it.
