Hello May! And Heyyy Friends!

Just got back from Greece and it was a divine! To my hardworking tribe— This is your firm and friendly reminder to USE YOUR PTO!

Yes, I’m talking vacations and getaways and staycations, because how on earth are we supposed to do all this important work in life if we don’t rest. I mean the put-down-your-phone and log-off-kind-of-rest.

As a serial entrepreneur, I stay busy. All work, some play. Little rest. We gotta stop. Hustle life comes at a price. I’m even guilty of this myself and I’m the boss of me!

A truly transformative moment is reminding ourselves that rest is just as important as work. Throw some “play” in there and you have a formula for a thriving life.

Work hard. Rest harder. You owe yourself that getaway on your bucket list. Let me help you use your PTO!

So what’s on your bucketlist this year?

Oh, and the full Greece breakdown is coming….

Group trips are fun. But everyone needs to be on the same page.

Here’s how we do it on a group trip:

✈️ Design an attractive and fun itinerary
✈️ Collect non-refundable deposits to ensure serious interest
✈️ Encourage guests to invite one person they know
✈️ Set the tone of your trip through positive, upbeat communication
✈️ Be flexible and understanding when things change, but also firm with the non-negotiables
✈️ Include downtime and leisure days in the itinerary so guests can do their own thing.
✈️ Handle any negative energy with positive solutions. You not gon break the soul of the group!

Make sense? Our signature group experiences will be announced mid-September! Will you join us? Sign up to be the first to know. Link in bio 👆🏾
