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’s talk about that little voice in your head—the one that sometimes says, “You’re not enough,” or “You can’t do this,”or “Why even try?” Yeah, I know her. I’ve had my fair share of that voice over the years, and spoiler alert: she doesn’t get the mic anymore. Here’s the truth: our minds are powerful, but they’re also trainable. Just like…
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 love, let’s talk about something that most of us struggle with… letting go of control. Yeah, I know. Even reading that might make you cringe a little. I get it—I’ve been there. In fact, I wrote an entire book about it (yes, really—if you haven’t grabbed Surrender on Amazon yet, consider this your sign!). For the longest time, I thought…
Hey love, let’s talk about confidence. Not the kind that comes from looking good in a new outfit (though, yes, that helps too), but the kind that roots you in your power, your voice, and your worth—no matter what life throws at you. I used to think confidence was something people were just born with—you either had it, or…
Hey, love! Let’s talk about intuition—that little voice inside that’s always whispering (or sometimes screaming) what’s best for us. We all have it. That gut feeling. That deep knowing. That “something just feels off” or “this is exactly where I’m meant to be” moment. But how often do we actually listen to it? I’ll be the first to admit—I haven’t always trusted…
Hi there, beautiful soul! Shannon here, and today we’re diving into one of the most powerful, yet simple, tools for healing and transformation—breathwork. If you’ve been to one of my retreats, you’ve probably already experienced the magic of breathwork. If not, let me just say this: it’s a game-changer. Here’s the thing—most of us go…
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…
Hi friends, Shannon here. Let’s get real for a moment: life has a way of piling things on us. We carry past traumas, emotional baggage, and limiting beliefs like a heavy backpack we didn’t even know we were wearing. And let’s be honest—dragging all that weight around gets exhausting. That’s where the magic of letting go comes…
