Side note: Real talk from a coach who had to break down before she could rise.
This isn’t the retreat story you’re probably expecting.
Back in 2019, I started coming up with an idea about a women’s retreat in Destin, FL.
The kind you see on Pinterest: beachside yoga, journaling, community, healing.
But here’s the truth I didn’t admit to myself at the time:
I wasn’t building that retreat for other women.
I was building it for me.
And not from inspiration, from desperation.
I was still married.
Still living in a life I had started to outgrow.
Still waking up with the quiet ache that whispered, “This can’t be it.”
The truth is — I wasn’t dreaming of a retreat. I was dreaming of a way out.
At the time, I didn’t realize it consciously. But the retreat was my soul’s soft rebellion. A way to create something new… without fully acknowledging what needed to end.
As, the world was trying to come back to normalcy, I had to face some hard truths!
That forced pause gave me the space to stop performing. To stop pretending. To feel everything I had been pushing down, the grief, the fear, the knowing.
And I realized: I couldn’t lead women through a transformation I hadn’t fully walked through myself.
So I let the first version of the retreat go. I focused on my own rising. I left the marriage. I unraveled and then I rebuilt.
Only after I came home to me did the real retreat vision return.
Not as an escape. But as a homecoming.
Rise with the Tides was born from that evolution.
It’s not a performance.
It’s not another thing to achieve.
It’s a space to exhale.
To soften.
To rise with your whole self.
For the woman who’s outgrown the life she built. For the one who’s craving community, meaning, and her next version!
This is for you.
You’re not broken.
You’re blooming.
