Deep Connection, Wild Joy: Inside Our Azores Women’s Retreat 🧘‍♀️ ⛰️ 🧑‍🍳

In this heartfelt episode, Amanda & Mary share a behind-the-scenes look into ONE LIFE. LIVE IT.'s recent women’s retreat on the breathtaking Azores Islands.

Sixteen women came together—most as strangers—and left with bonds that felt like soul family. From morning meditation to spontaneous dance parties, from shared tears to belly laughs, this retreat was a beautiful blend of deep personal work, authentic self-expression, and well-earned restoration.

We dive into:

• The magic of the Azores Islands as a backdrop for healing and joy
• What happens when women gather in vulnerability, honesty, and support
• Powerful moments of shared stories, deep listening, and radical connection
• How community fuels personal growth and sustainable transformation
• The joy of giving back: visiting and supporting a local orphanage
• The continued support through our post-retreat integration group
• And the reminder that you are never alone in your journey

Whether you're craving a reset, curious about what really happens at a ONE LIFE. LIVE IT. retreat, or seeking more intention and joy in your own life—this episode is for you.
