I Finally Hosted My First Retreat! (Proof That Taking the Risk Is Worth It)

And this what happens when you finally stop rushing through life long enough to actually feel it!A year ago, I came to Costa Rica trying to find myself. This time, I returned holding space for 11 women who were also craving clarity, connection, healing, rest, and a chance to reconnect with themselves again. And honestly… can you believe it? Because I still can’t sometimes. A year ago, I was the woman showing up to a retreat needing saving, needing space, needing to breathe again. Now I’m the one helping create that space for others.Watching these women open their hearts, trust complete strangers, and fully immerse themselves in the experience reminded me why retreats are so powerful. There were moments I stood back watching everyone laugh, cry, connect, dance, and just be present, and I kept thinking, “Wow… this is really happening.” Even through the travel chaos, the flat tire, the exhaustion, and all the pivots along the way, it still felt exactly how it was supposed to.This conversation is for anyone navigating the messy middle, feeling burned out, craving deeper connection, or wondering if they should finally take the leap into the thing that’s been sitting on their heart.In This Episode, I Talk About:Hosting my first women’s retreat in Costa RicaWhy slowing down can completely shift your perspectiveLearning to pivot when things don’t go as plannedThe emotional experience of holding space for womenWhy the messy middle can still become something beautifulIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s navigating their own messy middle or feeling disconnected from themselves lately.
