The Backstory!

from The Path to Joy · host Melissa Bloom

Today’s episode is a little backstory on how I started leading retreats in the first place. I’ve always found origin stories fascinating -- the unexpected ways things come to be.   Spoiler: I never intended to lead retreats. Honestly, they sounded like a lot of work. But apparently, even the most reluctant among us can be convinced.   Thanks so much for listening! I love helping people change (and improve!) their perception of their lives -- aka find more JOY.   Here are links that I mention in the show!!    🌱 Create the Life You Love Living Retreat (for women only) 🌱 Melissa Bloom's JOY SCHOOL! 🌱 Free workbook Your Daily Guide to Finding More Joy 🌱 Stay Connected Newsletter 🌱Schedule a 20 minute call with me for FREE! 🌱Check out my website   If you'd like to check out my book, The Path to Joy, on Amazon, click here!   If you'd like to connect, share your thoughts on the show, suggest a topic to discuss, etc.  please feel free to email me at: [email protected].
