We just got back from our fourth poolside retreat as a team, and it was everything we didn’t know we needed! Me and the 12 women who make this business tick laughed until we cried, dove deep into vision, strategy, and soul. There were moments when even the hotel guests couldn’t believe we were technically there "for work!"

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how we structured our retreat, what we learned, what surprised us, and how you can create something similar, whether you have a team or you’re flying solo right now.

And you won’t just hear from me! In this conversation, my team and I are talking about leadership (the kind you grow into), how we’re clarifying our brand and messaging, and we’re even sharing simple, actionable ideas you can implement to create deeper connections with your team, even virtually. Click play and let’s dive in!
