The Surprise Mindset Shift I Didn't See Coming - and the AI Game Changer That Got Me There

from Rock the Damn Boat · host Christy Hughes

This week's Sunday Shortie is a personal one. After chatting with Naoma of We Know Marketing, We Promise, and having a deep conversation with my friend Beckie about how to "sell" with heart, I had a huge mindset shift from the unlikeliest of places: Claude. What I discovered changed the way I think about showing up for potential retreat guests without losing the warmth and authenticity that makes people say yes to a retreat space.I also get reflective and share three retreat experiences that have genuinely shaped my perspective: two transformative weekends with my own yoga teacher and one soul-expanding journey to Bali. Because the best way to encourage someone to say yes is with truly remembering what it feels like to be held in one.If you're a retreat host, wellness entrepreneur, or curious about using AI in a way that still feels deeply human, this one's for you.Key Takeaways:Two podcasts worth adding to your list right now if you're a wellness entrepreneur or content creatorA real mindset shift around using Claude AI to write retreat sales emails — and why it doesn't have to feel robotic or inauthenticHow retreat experiences create an unmatched level of growth, celebration and friendshipsReflections from three retreat experiences — two with my yoga teacher and one transformative trip to BaliHow raising our hand may never feel easy, but it's worth it for the growth opportunity🌿 Curious about retreats?
