## Resource

In this episode, I’m joined by Emma Jennings, retreat coach and founder of Find Your Bliss Retreats. After a 22-year career in advertising and sales, Emma now helps coaches, wellness professionals and anyone wanting to create transformational retreats, even if they’re starting from scratch with no audience, no experience and no clue where to begin. We talk about how to turn a retreat vision into a powerful, profitable experience that supports deep client transformation and sustainable business growth. Emma shares what most people miss when planning retreats, from pricing and sales to legal requirements, insurance, ads and hidden costs, and why a retreat can be so much more than a beautiful venue and a hopeful Instagram post.
