Have you ever seen the TV show Timeless? It’s all about time travel and is one of my favourite guilty pleasures. I’ve been watching it as I finish the manuscript for my new book.
Part of the story arc of Timeless is going back to people and times in history that go on to shape the future. And as I write these stories about myself, I’ve enjoyed playing with the idea of time travelling back to a previous version of myself to impart some future wisdom and forgiveness.
Honour The Lineage Of Knowledge
It’s nice to think we are all self-made people. I know my ego loves to flip out about how I can do it all myself. But the truth is 96% of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions are ones we’ve either had before or someone else has.
Those thoughts and ideas came into our awareness because we read them, heard them, saw them, attended a training or immersion retreat about them, or somehow otherwise coalesced to form a version in our own minds.
I feel like traditional cultures are really onto something in the realm of acknowledgement and that we can learn a lot from them. Honouring our lineage, whether it is genealogical or knowledge-based, brings respect and reciprocity.

Immersion Retreats
If you’ve been around me for very long, you know I believe immersion retreats are key to living a creative and joyful life filled with transformation. So many of my best insights and Aha! moments have come from immersion retreats.
Including this recent recognition of how I got to where I am now. And all of those who helped me get there.
That’s one of the many reasons I have put together several immersion retreats for you to choose from. Because I want you to experience the kinds of moments that leave you changed and inspired.
After running retreats in multiple different countries, I’m still so excited for each new event. I can’t wait to spend time with women who are ready to take control of their lives and businesses and open themselves to doing things differently.
Now, I know. Everyone’s situation is different – you may be new in business or a seasoned veteran. You may be wanting to grow your business or just streamline what you already have. Or in another place entirely. No matter where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, my goal is to create a luxury retreat that’s right for you – right where you are.
Imagine Yourself There…
Imagine talking business in front of an open fire, enjoying a champagne breakfast with like-minded women, experiencing a hot air balloon ride or a day of pampering – and knowing that’s only one day of your retreat! These events are designed to refresh and renew as you learn and mastermind and unlock the path to achieving your goals.
Discover what it’s like to travel and realise you aren’t the same person anymore. You don’t think the same thoughts. Anything is possible and you come back transformed.
That is the opportunity I want for everyone. If it’s for you, take the leap and join us now.
