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…
By Shannon Jamail Most women I know (myself included) have been conditioned to give, and give, and give some more. To juggle it all, smile through it, and maybe crash later when no one’s looking. We wear exhaustion like a badge of honor. We apologize for needing rest. We call time away “selfish.” But here’s…
Let’s be real-life over 40 for women hits different. Hormones shift, priorities shift, sometimes our bodies feel like they’re speaking a language we don’t understand anymore. Add in identity transitions, aging parents, empty nest moments (or teens launching into the world), and a body that no longer recovers like it did at 25-and it’s no…
Let me guess. You’ve been lighting your eucalyptus candle, throwing on a face mask, maybe even doing a little journaling (before the kids bang on the bathroom door asking what’s for dinner). You call it Self-Care Sunday and you’re proud of yourself for carving out that tiny bit of time. And girl, I love that for you.…
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 me start with something you need to hear:You are NOT lazy. You’re not broken.You’re not failing.You’re burnt the hell out. And friend, there’s a huge difference. I’ve seen it over and over again—women (especially in midlife) blaming themselves for needing a nap, snapping at their partners, or feeling uninspired at work. We say things like,…
Let me just say it straight: If you’ve ever stared blankly at your calendar wondering how you’re supposed to keep all the balls in the air without throwing one at someone’s head, this post is for you. Because here’s what I know with my whole heart:Overwhelm is not a badge of honor. It’s a signal.And stress? It’s…
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,…
