I’ve been nervous about posting this…don’t hate me 🙈
I’m just not really sure how to say it in a way that feels right, because I completely respect everyone’s position and I’m a bit rubbish at articulating stuff like this!
Firstly I absolutely get it, retreats like this aren’t affordable for everyone. And that’s absolutely fine.
We’ve had so many enquiries about our Bali retreat this weekend, which has actually blown our minds! I even finally got automations working 🤯 people can now also download the itinerary, get emails, stay in the loop. Tiny tech win woooohooooo!!!
I’ve also added FAQ’s to the webpage 👏🏼
Anyway, there was soma amazing comments on Carolyn’s post and then a couple that mentioned it’s “too expensive” which made it non ethical apparently and I wanted to talk about this…
There were times in my life when a retreat like this halfway across the world was so completely out of reach, I just couldn’t have even looked
Back then, I was skint, my children were young and I’d watch friends go on girly holidays or trips and think… one day.
Maybe that’s where you are right now. Kids are little, priorities are different, money isn’t there yet. And that’s okay. I see you. I’ve been there. That feeling of hoping for one day is so real.
Now? I’m in a position where I can look at things like this. Not just because I’m hosting it and not because retreats magically cost less but because my kids are adults and because of the career I’ve built, the work I’ve done, the doors I’ve opened over the years and really importantly the choices I’ve made! Going sober being absolutely one of them that changed a lot of things for me, all of above though has taken a lot of hard work.
But, because of that, I can create this experience for other women, something I would have absolutely loved for my first retreat.something that I would think wow that was worth every single penny!
We’re not overcharging, if anything, this retreat is at the lower end of what something like this usually costs. Honestly, everything about it has been put together with so much care, thought, and love, I know I am bias but it’s actually an amazing experience.
If you can join us, it’s so fricken special.
And if you can’t? That’s totally okay too. You’re seen, you’re valued, and there’s zero judgment. One day? Maybe that one day will come for you too and when it does, you’ll know you’ve been holding onto it for a reason.
