Let’s talk about rest. Not a 15-minute power nap with your phone buzzing. Not the 30 seconds of silence you get in the car before someone calls asking what’s for dinner. Not sitting in a doctor’s office alone and calling it “me time.” I’m talking about real, nervous-system-resetting, soul-sighing, full-body exhale rest. And if you’re a woman…
You Don’t Need to Do More. You Need to Feel More. Let me guess. You’re capable. Responsible. Driven. You get things done-even when you’re exhausted. You’re the one people count on. At work. At home. In friendships. In life. And you’re tired. Not “take a nap and you’ll be fine” tired. I’m talking nervous‑system fried, emotionally…
It’s that time of year again. Everyone’s shouting about resolutions.
New routines. New diets. New rules.
“New Year, New You,” right?
Look, I get it. My clients come to me every year feeling this same pressure. They’ve bought the planners. Tracked the macros. Joined the challenges.
They’ve tried to “New Year, New Me” themselves into a better life.
But despite all the effort? They still feel stretched thin. Still overwhelmed. Still wondering why all that doing never quite hits the spot.
That’s why I’m inviting you to do it differently this year.
Instead of resolving to change, what if you retreated to reconnect?
Let me guess- you’ve been staring at a retreat page, wondering if it’s meant for someone like you. Maybe you’ve thought: “I’m not that kind of woman.” “I’m too busy.” “It’s probably for women with more time/money/flexibility than me.” “I’m not really into yoga or crystals or crying around strangers.” If your brain has gone…
By Shannon Jamail If you’ve ever typed “retreat to reduce my stress” into Google at 2 a.m. while stress-eating tortilla chips and hiding from your to-do list… hey, I see you. You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re on the right track. Because while vacations are nice, and spa days are dreamy, there’s a reason…
By Shannon Jamail Let’s talk about something that’s not just a trend- it’s a tidal wave. Women. Are. Retreating. And I don’t mean running away from life (although let’s be honest, sometimes that’s the fantasy). I mean women are seeking out intentional space, packing their bags, and heading to women’s stress reduction wellness retreats in record…
By Shannon Jamail So you’re thinking about attending a retreat. Maybe you’re feeling tired, tapped out, overwhelmed by life – or just plain over it. But if you’re anything like the amazing women who come to our retreats, there’s probably a little voice in your head saying, “Yeah, but what will I actually get out…
By Shannon Jamail I just wrapped up two amazing retreats in October. One at my ranch and one at my favorite beach. And y’all… my heart is full, my voice is raspy from laughter, and my soul is lit up. One thing I hear over and over from the women who attend our stress reduction retreats is…
Let’s be honest-scrolling through all the gorgeous retreat photos online can feel like dating apps for wellness. Everyone looks peaceful, the food looks amazing, and the setting is always perfect. But how do you know which women’s stress reduction retreat is actually right for you? Here’s the deal: not every retreat will be your match. And that’s okay.…
How many times have you come home from a “vacation” more exhausted than when you left? You know the kind. You pack everything-emotionally and literally-trying to make everyone else happy, cram in 10 activities a day, live out of a suitcase, and then need a nap when you get back. And don’t get me started…
