When Returning Home Sparks Self-Reflection

In this heartfelt episode of This Life of Ours, Coach Emily B reflects on her time at the recent Fall into Focus retreat in the Berkshires—a weekend filled with connection, clarity, and the kind of peace that only comes when we step away from the noise of everyday life. Emily shares what it felt like to truly belong in all the spaces and how coming home afterward stirred a deeper sense of self-reflection. She explores how we can carry the calm, focus, and sense of enoughness we discover in retreat settings back into our daily routines—and what questions to ask ourselves to keep that spark alive long after the bags are unpacked. Tune in to discover how to embrace your own sense of belonging, release pressures, and keep the energy of 'more' alive. And stay tuned for exciting news about future retreats—and maybe even a podcast tour on the horizon!
