How a Bali Retreat Helped Cassie Leave Her 9–5 and Start Her Dream Business


Listen Later

In this episode, Bindy chats with Cassie about what really happens when you finally say yes to something that’s just for you.

Cassie had never travelled overseas on her own, had barely taken trips just for herself, and was working in a demanding senior executive role when she saw Bindy’s Bali retreat pop up. Instead of overthinking it, she jumped in, sorted her passport and visa, and got on the plane.

What unfolded in that week ... from Reiki and breathwork to sound healing and late-night reflections by the pool — became the catalyst for a complete life reset, including leaving her 9–5 and stepping fully into her business, Glorious Marketing.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to go on retreat, travel solo, or finally prioritise you, this conversation is the loving push you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode we explore:

  • Cassie’s decision to say yes to her first-ever solo international trip (and why she didn’t let fear run the show)
  • What surprised her most when she arrived at the retreat and met the group
  • How Reiki, sound healing at Pyramids of Chi, meditation, journaling and breathwork helped her release old emotions and gain clarity
  • The power of being in a small, like-minded community of women who all want to grow
  • Why extended, disruption-free time on retreat is so much more transformative than a one-off massage or meditation at home
  • “Living on Bali time” — how slowing down, letting go of hustle, and focusing on what truly matters changed her day-to-day life
  • Modelling self-care and courage for her 16-year-old daughter (and how her trip inspired others to travel solo too)
  • Returning to a stressful executive job, realising it was out of alignment, and making the big decision to go all in on her business
  • How Cassie now builds her week around exercise, meditation, connection and joy — not just work and obligation
  • Her advice if you’re sitting on the fence about coming on retreat: why sometimes you just need to jump and think later
