The Breakdown

Dedicated space for reflection

Everyone in our lives expects us to crush it at the office, and take care of everything at home, too. And for as long as we can remember, we’ve lived up to their expectations because we’re people-pleasers and we don’t want to let anyone down. Believe me: all women struggle with this.

High-achieving women often thrive on accomplishing tasks and achieving goals but may struggle with pausing to reflect and assess their life direction, as evidenced by their difficulty in fully disconnecting during vacations.

Just like that, the buzz and the excitement of the retreat are gone. And you slide right back to those prior habits and behaviors...the ones that don't allow space for all of the things you really want to do in life.

How many times have you attended conferences or retreats, and you leave BUZZING with excitement...
until real life hits?

“There's nothing like a complete change of environment away from all responsibilities to provide a fresh outlook on your life as it is and what it can look like going forward. Laurie went above and beyond to provide the most relaxing experience encouraging openness and deep introspection. I will never forget my time in Sun Valley or the amazing women that I met there!”

- lisa

“Remember that happy guy in the Pretty Woman movie who calls out, “What’s your dream?!” The Best Life Retreat does that too. With Laurie’s coaching and the collective wisdom of my new mid-life retreat friends, I am better equipped to turn my mid-life dreams into reality.”

- rashelle

“I was nervous about attending the BEST LIFE Retreat. I have never been to anything like it in my past. But I desperately wanted to form a personalized plan for my next chapter in life. I loved the schedule, location, and Laurie's guidance during the 4-day weekend. I was able to pull so much information from within myself about what and how I want my life to evolve. Some I anticipated and some were a total surprise to me! I would recommend future retreats to anybody who wants to feel prepared for their BEST LIFE to come!”
