Summary
Ever wondered what actually happens at a healing retreat? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing my real, unfiltered experience attending a small, intimate women's healing retreat - the kind that isn't rushed, isn't performative, and goes way deeper than journaling and yoga poses. I talk about why I chose a retreat focused on healing the heart, what it felt like being in such a small group (only five women), and why that intimacy completely changed the experience for me. We get into nervous system regulation, breathwork, silence, somatic healing, and what happens when you finally give yourself the space to slow down and actually feel. And yes - this experience directly inspired me to create my own small, intimate retreat for women, so if you've been DMing me asking to be on the list, make sure you're on the newsletter 👀 Spots will be limited!
