In our busy world, taking time away to reconnect with ourselves feels more like a luxury than a necessity. But what if stepping back and prioritizing you isn’t a selfish escape, but a powerful path to feeling more alive, connected, and resilient? In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the true meaning of a retreat—what it is, what it isn’t, and why so many of us hold ourselves back from taking that much-needed break. Together, we’ll explore the top three reasons we resist prioritizing ourselves, unpack some myths around retreats, and imagine what a life more aligned with your own well-being could feel like. Tune in and let’s uncover what’s stopping you from saying yes to the retreat that just might change everything.

ONE LIFE. LIVE IT. invites you to join our next transformational retreat in the breathtaking Galápagos Islands, April 11–18, 2026.
