Your retreat looks like a daydream, and I appreciate the price is reasonable. I also appreciate that you make these posts accessible and free. I've read all of your books and have recommended your newest book to at least 10 women! I greatly appreciate how your values shine through in your work products. In a world that feels very commercial, everything for sell, how do we acquire/consume more as a measure of our worth, you so authentically provide an alternative that certainly doesn't mean it isn't beautiful or meaningful but measured, perhaps I would say. Thank you.
I love your note about obstacles and backup plans. I'm guilty of the "all or nothing thinking." Aka if I don't have time for the one hour workout, don't do one at all.
P.S. I'm from San Luis Obispo, so your mention of the California Coast makes me nostalgic for home. Have a lovely retreat :)
This really inspires me! I am so guilty of making vague goals that are too big. I am going to take some time this week to rethink my ambitions as smaller, more actionable goals with bite-sized steps.
Shira good luck with this mini retreat in October. This all-inclusive retreat (Oct 6-8, 2025, California coast) does not include flight fare, if one had to fly to reach California; I wondered is all, as it is I can't attend.
This would be my goal: Make more money → Increase my freelance rates by 25% this year. I don't even have a freelance rate since all that I do is given out freely with nothing to gain in return but for the experience of having done it. I have a fear of money/income. How's that?
I don't know what I would do when they take my husband away; lay down and die, I imagine, and quickly too.

Thank you so much! x
Breaking down goals into bite sized morsels is so helpful. And they really do build up over time leading to more energy to tackle the next bite!
100%!

All the best otherwise.
