August 12, 2021 #78: Self-Love Retreats: An Inside Look from Our Retreat Sister, Liana
I have a little bit of a different episode for you this week because what you’re about to hear is a conversation with one of my retreat sisters, Liana, who recently attended my Costa Rica Self-Love Retreat. I thought it would be cool to give you an inside look into what self-love retreats are actually like coming from someone who’s experienced one recently.
Even if you’re not thinking about joining a self-love retreat, I still invite you to listen to this episode because Liana and I talk about sexuality, trusting yourself, dealing with toxic family members, connecting with like-minded women, vulnerably sharing your heart, and so much more. Liana herself is incredibly inspiring because she embodies what it means to be so full of self-love and letting that love overflow to others. Whether you want to come to a retreat or not, Liana will help you see what is truly possible for you.
You can connect with Liana by following her on Instagram or TikTok @lovewithliana and inquire to work with her through her website lovewithliana.com. As an Adult Chair® Certified Coach, Liana will guide you through your own self-love practice so that you build healthy relationships and become more present in your life.
And if a self-love retreat sounds interesting to you, our next one will also be in Costa Rica over New Years! At the time of this recording, the New Years Self-Love Retreat is 50% full so if you’re interested, go to maryscupoftea.com/retreats, check out all the information, and if it’s calling you, feel free to fill out an application.
