There are places that crack you open in the best possible way—where the air feels different, the views stretch wider, and the noise of life finally fades into something gentle and supportive. Banff is one of those places. And this fall, a group of incredible women joined me there for our Banff Women’s Adventure Retreat , a five-day journey built around movement, connection, nature, and the permission to simply be . These retreats always begin the same way: with women stepping

There’s a moment before every journey that no one really talks about. It's not the packing. Not the airport. Not even the planning. It’s the moment your finger hovers over the “Book Now”  button. A small pause. A breath. A quiet tremor in the body, like your soul is leaning in and asking: Are we really going to do this? Because it’s not just a ticket. It’s a declaration. It says: I choose myself. And choosing yourself—especially when the world has taught you to prioritize eve

There’s something magical that happens when you step out of your daily routine, zip your suitcase closed, and say yes  to somewhere new. Travel has a way of peeling back the layers of who we think we are and reminding us of who we’ve always been. It’s where joy, freedom, and friendship intertwine—and where the best parts of life often unfold. Joy in the Journey Joy isn’t found in the perfect itinerary—it’s found in the moments that catch you off guard. The laughter shared ove

There’s a story so many women quietly tell themselves: “I missed my chance.” Maybe it’s the trip you always wanted to take but postponed for work, family, or finances. Maybe it’s the version of yourself who once dreamed of backpacking through Europe, sailing the Mediterranean, or wandering the colorful markets of Morocco — the woman who promised herself someday. And then someday became later. But here’s what I know for sure after years of planning and leading women’s retreats

There are places that feel instantly calming the moment you arrive — where the sun warms your skin just right, the ocean glows a dreamy aqua, and life seems to slow down in all the ways you’ve been craving. Lido Beach in Sarasota, Florida  is absolutely one of those places. For busy women balancing work, life, families, and endless to-do lists, this Gulf Coast gem offers the perfect blend of relaxation, effortless travel, amazing food, boutique shopping, and coastal beauty .

Travel has a funny way of holding up a mirror. It shows us how much control we don’t  have — and how beautiful that can actually be. Every trip starts with a plan — flights booked, itineraries mapped, outfits packed just so. But if you’ve traveled enough, you know that somewhere along the way, those plans will shift. A delayed flight, a sudden downpour, a detour that turns into the best meal of your life. That’s the secret lesson travel keeps teaching us: to trust. Letting Go

There’s something that happens when women come together on retreat that’s hard to explain until you’ve lived it. It’s a quiet magic — one that begins as strangers arrive, a little unsure, maybe nervous, and within a few days, those same women are laughing until tears roll down their cheeks, sharing stories they’ve never said out loud, and walking away with a new kind of family. People often ask me, “What is it about these women’s retreats that feels so special?”  And the trut

If you’re anything like me, travel isn’t just something you do  — it’s part of who you are. It’s the feeling you get when you step off a plane, take that first deep breath in a new place, and think, yes… this is exactly where I’m meant to be. But sometimes, life asks us to slow down. Maybe we’re between trips, saving up, or just soaking in some time at home. And while I love the excitement of planning the next adventure, I’ve also learned that the spirit of travel  doesn’t ha

You’ve seen the photos — women laughing under twinkle lights, yoga mats by the sea, maybe a glass of wine in hand as the sun sets. It all looks dreamy, right? But then that question creeps in: “Is a women’s retreat really for me?” Maybe you’ve been craving rest but feel guilty for wanting it. Maybe you love your people but you’re running on empty. Or maybe you’re in that in-between season — life feels fine, but something inside you is quietly whispering for more. If any of th
