I am happy to announce that I am hosting ANOTHER "Priority...ME!!! retreat in February! If you are feeling like everyone's needs come before yours, as if you are giving your everything to make sure your life and everyone else's lives are working smoothly but you are left feeling exhausted, alone, or like you just can't catch up...then you need to put this retreat on your "MUST DO" list.

February 22nd - 25th I am hosting a women's only retreat and you are invited! "Priority...ME!!!" will be all-inclusive, meaning that your lodging and dining are all included! We will meet Thursday night at a beautiful apartment I've rented in Alton, and gather together for a wonderful evening of getting to know one another--and maybe ourselves--wine and snacks included (We understand people will be getting off work so for this reason arrival times will be between 6pm-7pm...Dinner will not be included for this night).

Friday and Saturday we will spend the days with one another and I have prepared some wonderful sessions which include topics such as making yourself a priority, eliminating toxic people from your life and communicating your needs to friends and family. We will delve into what keeps us from making ourselves a priority and why we feel guilty when we do, and discuss a few steps we can take toward living fully and free. Coffee, fantastic brunches and dinner will be included...and we might even include a few surprises.

As we go into Sunday, our hope is that some of you will have started the beginning of some very meaningful conversations with not only those you have shared your weekend with but with yourself. Coffee and breakfast will be included. We aim to have the event wrapped up around 1:00pm on Sunday.

Making ourselves a priority is one of the most common struggles I see in women. Our natural instinct is to take care of those around us. We so often forget that by taking the time to see that our needs are met, we equip ourselves with the strength and energy that is so important to our well-being and to being the wife or mother or caretaker or businesswoman we strive to be.

My challenge to you during this retreat will be to spend some time both by self-reflection and in a group setting, evaluating how your priorities are being met. Are you feeling burdened and defeated? Do you feel guilty because you wish more for yourself? Are you wanting to quit what's bad for you but feeling unable to just say "No!"? What steps would you take to put yourself first for a change and what obstacles stand in your way? We will answer these questions together and I will guide you, encourage you, and motivate you to take that brave step towards making yourself a priority again.

Your weekend experience which will include coach-lead discussions, games, foods and snacks (and of course, drinks), sleeping arrangements, and some of the best company you could ask for is available for an entry of $449.00, a great deal for an all-inclusive weekend away! Due to the amount of beds that are available, attendees will be set up with roommates. If you have a friend who might be interested in attending with you, we do offer a $50.00 discount off both of your entry AND for your friend's entry!

After your initial reservation is made, pay as little or as much as you want in as many payments as you need, but we are requesting that the full amount be paid in full by February 1st so we have adequate time to prepare.
