Summary
What if your next reset wasn't another plan… another strategy… or another thing to fix yourself? What if it was a place where you could finally stop performing and actually do the deep work? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sitting down with Lana and Mark Royce, the husband-and-wife duo behind BlissTopia Retreats in Arizona and this conversation is special. I recently attended their Heal Your Heart retreat, and honestly… it rocked me in the best way! This isn't one of those fluffy retreats where you relax for a weekend and come home unchanged. BlissTopia is intimate, grounded, and designed for real healing - nervous system regulation, breathwork, embodiment, and genuine human connection. Lana brings decades of experience as a psychotherapist, yoga teacher, former doula, and healer trained in hypnotherapy, reiki, meditation, and sound healing. Mark brings a grounded, no-BS approach through breathwork, movement, and embodiment that gets you out of your head and back into your body!
