Ever been told the only way to "fly at the pointy end of the plane" is to hustle 24/7, live away from home 340 days a year, and barely see your kids? Leonie's response: are you fu**ing stupid?

This week she pulls back the red velvet curtain on her quarterly planning retreat — the rituals, the lake ceremonies, the non-alcoholic botanical wine, and the exact process she runs to help women plan a whole quarter in a single day. And Tam shares what it was like for her to be in the receiving seat for it... and what changed for her business from doing it.

Who this is for: If you're a creative, healer, or coach who's so deep in the to-do list you can't see your own business clearly anymore — and you're craving strategy that doesn't smell like bro-marketing — this one's for you. Especially if you're neurodivergent, sensitive, and done with hustle culture telling you to JUST DO MORE! WORK MORE HOURS! HUSTLE HUSTLE!

Topics covered:

• How Leonie structures a full-day quarterly planning retreat
• Why reviewing last quarter matters more than vision-setting
• Letting-go rituals, lake ceremonies, and celebration circles
• Hot-seating: why other people see your business clearer than you do
• The anti-patriarchal case against hustle culture
• Choosing a venue by energy, nature, and grounding (not corporate boardrooms)
• Introducing Content Blast — a month of content done in one day

Key insights:

• There's gold to mine in what just happened — review before you plan, every time
• Celebration shifts your identity: you plan the next quarter as someone who's already made miracles
• Brainstorming for OTHER people's businesses builds the muscle to see your own clearly
• Hustle's only answer is "more" — but we live in a finite world, and the "more" gets stolen from your kids, your body, your relationships
• Most hustle bros have someone (usually a woman) holding everything else together
• You can fly business class without burning your life to the ground
• You don't have to use everything in the Academy — one thing makes your money back
• The easiest business model on earth: serve, over-deliver, and people stay for decades
