Let me just say it plainly: if you’ve been fantasizing about running away to a cabin in the woods (or a beach with a hammock and zero responsibilities), you’re not crazy—you’re probably overdue for a serious reset. Too many women wait until they’re completely depleted before they give themselves permission to rest. I know because…
Let’s just get real for a second: if one more person tells you to “just take a bubble bath and practice self-care,” you might scream. 🙃 Because for most of us midlife women, the idea of “self-care” has been watered down into 10-minute meditations, expensive eye creams, and trying to squeeze in a yoga class…
Let’s be real—modern life is a lot. Between the constant pings of your phone, overflowing to-do lists, endless responsibilities, and the pressure to keep it all together, it’s no wonder so many of us are walking around with tight shoulders and tired souls. As someone who used to believe I could outwork or out-achieve my stress,…
Let’s be honest—we live in a world of constant to-do lists, big goals, and “what’s next?” energy. And while that has its place (hello, ambition), there’s something incredibly powerful about pressing pause and asking: “What do I actually want to feel right now?” That, my friend, is where setting an intention comes in. And when it comes…
Let’s talk about something real, raw, and deeply important: emotional release.Because whether we want to admit it or not, so many of us are carrying heavy stuff we were never meant to hold forever. And guess what? Healing doesn’t always happen in a therapist’s office (though therapy is amazing and important too!). Sometimes it happens barefoot…
Let’s be real for a second—gratitude is one of those things that everyone talks about. You see it all over Pinterest and Instagram: “Gratitude is the key to happiness.” “Grateful heart, happy mind.” “Start each day with a grateful heart.” Cute quotes, right? But here’s the deal… are we actually living it? Because I’ll tell you what—when you…
Let me start by saying this: you do not need to be an “artist” to benefit from art therapy. Not even a little. If you can pick up a paintbrush, press your fingers into clay, or scribble with a crayon—congrats, my friend, you’re already doing it. When people come to our retreats at Retreat Ranch, they’re often…
Let’s talk about creating mindful boundaries—yep, the thing that so many of us struggle with. If you’ve ever felt guilty for saying no, overwhelmed by other people’s needs, or like you’re constantly pouring from an empty cup, you’re not alone. I used to be the queen of overcommitting. I’d say “yes” to things I didn’t want to do, let…
Hey there, beautiful loves! Today we’re diving into something BIG—finding your purpose. Yep, that elusive thing that makes you jump out of bed in the morning with excitement (okay, maybe after coffee). Whether you feel a little stuck, unsure of your next move, or like you’re missing some spark, I promise—you’re not alone. Here’s the…
Hey loves, Shannon here! Let’s talk about something I’m deeply passionate about—helping women rediscover their inner goddess. Life can be demanding, and it’s so easy to lose touch with the parts of ourselves that make us feel strong, radiant, and deeply connected. That’s where empowerment rituals come in. When women gather at retreats, something magical…
