We are back from our 5th Getaway and we had the best time in Fairhope! I dare say it was our favorite one yes because, we say that every year- but there was something about this group.

We just gelled together, everyone kind of let loose and didn’t worry about who they came with, or how they didn’t want to make friends with other people- we were just one big group.
And the central theme , (un planned) seemed to center around connection.

In this episode we talk all about the events leading up to the Getaway , including the eventful ride down, and Courtney popping a tire! We take you through Friday morning, with our lovely welcome party and the Speaker session and popup with Sunshine Tienda. PS) we LOVE Amanda and Laura!
