“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…
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…
So you’ve decided it’s time to hit pause. You’re overwhelmed, overcommitted, and just done. You know you need something more than a bubble bath and a podcast. You need a full-on nervous system reset. But with so many women’s stress reduction retreats out there, how do you pick the one that’s actually going to help you feel like you again?…
Let me be real with you: this year cracked me wide open. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I talk a lot about mindset, growth, and showing up fully for your life. But life has a way of throwing curveballs that test every ounce of your strength-and make you practice what you…
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—how often do we actually pay attention to our breath? I mean really notice it? Most of us are out here shallow breathing our way through deadlines, dishes, and daily chaos, completely disconnected from one of the most powerful tools we have for peace and presence: our breath. But here’s the good news: mindful breathwork…
