✨ Wellness Wednesday – Season 4, Episode 9 ✨

Purpose Over Presents: Creating Meaningful Moments That Last Beyond the Holidays

Guest: Lori McDowell – The Retreat Engineer

This week on Wellness Wednesday, join Uma Alexandra Beepat for a heart-centered conversation with Lori McDowell, retreat strategist, speaker, and author of The Reinvention Mindset.

As the holiday season arrives, many of us feel pulled between expectations, overwhelm, and the endless pressure to “do it all.” Lori invites us to slow down, breathe, and choose purpose over presents — connecting to what actually matters.

In this soul-nourishing episode, Lori shares how intention transforms holiday stress into meaningful connection, how micro-experiences create memories that last, and how gratitude elevates even the simplest moments. You'll discover how aligning with purpose not only brings peace to your holiday season but also sets the tone for a soul-centered new year.

Listeners will walk away with simple, heartfelt strategies they can begin using immediately — from creating meaningful holiday rituals to reconnecting with their inner purpose and carrying that clarity forward.
