In this powerful episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, Leni Cavazos sits down with Dr. Nikia Smith, who turned her burnout as a physician into a thriving retreat business focused on wellness, community, and true rejuvenation. Nikia shares how a solo retreat for self-care became the catalyst for creating safe, intentional spaces for others to recharge and connect.
