I am overworked and overwhelmed with running my business to the point where I am losing the passion I once had. I want to fix this, but I don't know where to begin

I'm burnt out

Running a business can feel isolating at times. I'd love to feel confident and empowered, but the support system just isn't there for me.

i'm in need of an awesome community

I know I am this multi-passionate talented person, but I feel like I am just in this box of doing what everyone else is in the industry. I know I could do more, but don't know what that is. 

I want to stand out and make my mark

Does any of this sound familiar

I have so many things to do I don't know what is the most needle moving towards my big vision I have for my business. I feel like I just never have the time to just sit down and figure it out. 

I'M NEEDING ALIGNED STRATEGY TO GET ME TO MY NEXT LEVEL

retreat breakdown

A gorgeous, relaxing drive through the natural beauty of California takes you to the front door of a stunning Airbnb. Luggage in tow, you knock on the door and listen to the excited laughter and chatter coming from inside. You're welcomed in with smiles and hugs, and immediately you can feel the eager energy in the room. For the next three days, you're in a state of both self-appreciation and bliss — the feeling of relentless, genuine support you feel from the group is unparalleled. Daily yoga and meditation take you to a place of relaxation and reflection, and you suddenly feel deeply at ease and appreciative of yourself. You stay up late dancing wildly, laughing until your stomach hurts and your eyes water, sharing stories and struggles. Mornings are spent holding steamy cups of tea and whispering at the table as the sun rises, and slowly awakening your mind and body with meditative yoga. Days pass in the blink of an eye — you break through walls you didn't know existed, recognize and grow to love new qualities of your own, and begin envisioning and actualizing a future in which you love yourself deeply and without pause.

Imagine this ...
