Summary

Retreats are the ultimate form of bleisure. Retreats are a business activity that combine travel, connection, transformation, self-care… and yes, they can be profitable and support your business. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on Host Profitable Retreats, the course I've created after five years of hosting retreats, countless lessons learned the hard way, and tens (and hundreds) of thousands of dollars in actual profit. If you’ve ever thought: I’d love to host a retreat, but I don’t know where to start I’ve run a retreat before, but it wasn’t profitable (or it nearly broke me) There has to be a better, more sustainable way to do this …this conversation is for you. In this episode I share: -Why retreats sit at the intersection of business, travel, leisure, and self-care - The mistakes I made early on - The five foundational pillars that make retreats profitable - Why retreats are life changing for both guests and hosts This is an honest, experience-led invitation into a smarter way of hosting retreats, one that supports your business, your nervous system, and your life.
