Did you know that you are a rainbow?

🌈 Along your spine are 7 vortices or energy centers, that represent the 7 colors of the rainbow and govern your overall wellbeing.

🌈 In the next 7 weeks, I am going to be sharing info on or inspired by each of the 7 chakras.

🌈 This series is my offering inspired by my preparations for my upcoming holistic healing retreat in Todos Santos:

Resting isn’t always easy. Sometimes we rest only after our body demands it… but proactive rest is actually an act of rebellion!

🤔 Are you feeling rebellious?

Sharing, listening, reflecting back to each other. This is just part of the beauty that takes place when women gather. 🫶🏻

🤍 S H A R I N G 🤍 Sharing experiences and stories among women in business during a retreat can play a vital role in boosting confidence and fostering a supportive environment.

Often, as women we face unique challenges in our business and work-life balance — hearing from others who have navigated similar obstacles can be super inspiring.

When a woman shares her journey — be it the struggles of breaking through the barriers, balancing career with personal life, or overcoming self-doubt—it creates a ripple effect. Other women see themselves in these stories, realizing they are not alone in their challenges.

This shared vulnerability and authenticity can ignite a spark of courage, inviting everyone to take bold steps on their biz journey.

The encouragement and collective strength derived from these exchanges are invaluable, reinforcing the belief that women have the power to shape their own path, overcome challenges, and succeed in any field; a reminder that each success story is a stepping stone for the next, and by sharing, we uplift and empower each other to reach new heights.

Go ahead, say anything. Take a chance. Ok, I’ll go first….

Today, Nicole and I (Holly) had our standing Thursday retreat call, which we’ve proudly been committed to for almost a year to chat all things retreats (BTW, we’ll be sharing about our next retreat real soon🤭)….

And anyway, we were chatting details, reviewing the new landing page, fine tuning things, and went on several tangents about boss babe life and such…I even learned about skills I didn’t know Nicole had and…well, an hour passed or more…then I realized — THIS, this is why I love to plan retreats for women in business!

It’s these conversations that validate every aspect of the things we do, the decisions we make, the skills we harness, the creativity we employ, that make our work-life go round. And — you can’t talk about it with just anyone. Your partner and friends aren’t typically dealing with the same issues you are as an entrepreneur, solopreneur, founder, exec, or a creative — which makes it hard to relate at times, ya know?

So, we go. We retreat to be seen, to listen, support, collaborate, share ideas, unplug, commiserate, celebrate, unwind, and remind ourselves of the importance, value, and JOY in why we do what we do.

It’s a honor and a privilege to be able to craft our way through this lifetime with the freedom to make our own way. And I’m so glad we get to retreat in between. Lucky us. ♥️—

This is your sign to write. 😘 Known to help with:

🌞 Clarifying thoughts, writing allows us to organize thoughts and feelings — gaining insights into our experiences.

🌞Stress reduction by providing a safe space to express emotions and work through challenging situations.

🌞Self-reflection, helping us identify patterns in behavior, set goals, and track personal growth over time.

🌞Enhanced creativity (my favorite). Engaging in regular writing exercises can stimulate creativity and provide a way for exploring new ideas and perspectives.

🌞Journaling promotes emotional awareness and intelligence by encouraging introspection and self-expression.

✍🏼 Taking time to write and journal is something we’ve all likely done, present or past; it’s good for the soul!
