If you’ve been listening to this podcast, and you’re ready to take a timeout and focus on just you for a whole week, then I want to invite you to join me for the Transformation in Paradise Empyrean Retreat in Costa Rica May 24-31, 2025.  This will be the most transformative week of your life at the breathtaking Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. 

This will be a small group experience with exclusive access at the Blue Osa resort. 

Imagine waking to the sound of the Costa Rican rainforest musical every morning.  Start your day with a yoga practice overlooking the Pacific Ocean, joined in with howler monkeys. Daily walks on a private beach that goes on for miles. Macaws flying overhead. Spa treatment at a 5-star resort, and the best farm-to-table food - right from the Blue Osa farm.  

This retreat is designed to reset your nervous system, so you stop the patterns of self-sabotage and overwhelm. Reignite your motivation, release any addictive habits, and open yourself to the health, relationships, and financial abundance you deserve.
