Today, Kari Jean Eckelkamp founder of women's wellness weekend, joins me on the podcast to talk about her healing a journey and how it inspired an exciting experience for woman all over the Midwest. Kari felt lost after the initial phase of the pandemic and found herself really struggling with depression and anxiety. She began to dream about the opportunity for women to come together again and find community and help each other grow. In January of 2021 she launched her first weekend and although she designed it with the intent of supporting other women, she found her own healing there as well.

Kari has developed a boutique style, all-inclusive retreat company, focused on creating body, mind and soul nourishing weekends for women in the Midwest. It includes a chef, yoga, guided meditations and so much more. Kari speaks to the mom guilt we all struggle with and encourages us that the time away is not only important for ourselves to get a break, but it's good for our children and their dads to bond. Please listen, like, and share this episode and consider joining Kari on her next women's wellness weekend.
