Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough credit when it comes to healing: place. Not the spa menu. Not the itinerary. Not even the yoga. Place. Because where you land your body matters more than most people realize. You can try to “relax” in your kitchen at 9pm while scrolling your phone and reheating tea…
Let’s talk about your nervous system-because she’s probably fried. You’re not imagining it. The noise is louder these days. We’re being pulled in a hundred directions, peppered with constant notifications, rage-bait headlines, demands from work, home, and everything in between. Even when you’re “off,” your body isn’t. It’s still scanning for the next thing. That’s…
“I just need to get through this one season…” “Maybe after the next big thing calms down…” “Once the kids are older / the job slows down / the stars align…” Sound familiar? This is the anthem of every overwhelmed, over-functioning, stretched-too-damn-thin woman I’ve ever known (and yes, I’ve been her too). We’ve been conditioned…
“I want to go so bad, but I just don’t know if I can justify spending that much… on me.” Sound familiar? If you’ve had that thought-or said it out loud-you’re not alone. Most women I know have zero problem spending money on their kids, their work, their house, their dog, hell… even a random…
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 Most women don’t go on a retreat because they’re mildly stressed. They go because they’re one breakdown away from snapping at their boss, their partner, or that lady in front of them at Target who can’t figure out the chip reader. They come because they’re tired. Burned out. Maxed out. And they need something…
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…
