E52: Solo Retreats to Connect with Yourself: Eli Libby and Kyle Nelson

from Infuse Compassion · host Amy Quesenberry & Mark Carpenter

Sometimes people wear busyness as a badge of honor. We feel the stress build up, but put our heads down and press through, at the same time suppressing our emotions. This is a recipe for burnout. The answer: solo retreats. In this episode, we talk with Eli Libby and Kyle Nelson, authors of the book “The Art of the Solo Retreat” and founders of The Solo Retreat Company about the the necessity of resets to step away from the noise of the world. You’ll learn: - The impact of constant noise in creating emotional scars if we don’t step aside. - How to know when you need a reset, from multi-day solo retreat to some simple quiet time in nature. - The brain science supporting the need for quiet resets to turn on our creative mind. - What you can do now to escape some of the noise in your life. Eli and Kyle get personal with their own experiences. Listen in to find out how you can benefit from your own retreat from the noise. Kyle Nelson and Eli Libby spent nearly a decade building multiple companies, chasing big wins and long hours, until life forced them to pause. A house fire. A divorce. A miscarriage. Business setbacks. The moments that should’ve broken them became the turning point. In the quiet, they found clarity. In solitude, they found purpose. And from that soil, the first Solo Retreat was born, not as a business strategy, but as a lifeline back to what matters.
