I want to ask you a question.

How often do you tell yourself you’ll choose yourself later?

When things calm down.

When work isn’t so demanding.

When the kids need you less.

When you have more time.

When you have more money.

When everyone else is okay.

And because you’re a high-capacity woman, I’m willing to bet you can make “later” work for a very long time.

You keep showing up.

You keep taking care of things.

You keep doing what needs to be done.

You keep putting your own needs somewhere down the list.

Until one day, you realize that you’ve spent years postponing yourself!

Here’s a news flash.⚡️

This is one of the quietest forms of self-abandonment.

Not choosing yourself when you know you need to.

Not because you don’t care about yourself.

But because there’s always “something” that feels more important.

Someone who needs you.

Something that needs to get done.

Another responsibility that just can’t wait.

And maybe you’ve been hoping for, craving or thinking about the Radical Wholeness Retreat.

Maybe you’ve felt a little pull each time you read about it.

Maybe part of you has thought:

I really need this.

And then another part of you has said:

Maybe later or next time.

So here’s your invitation to pause before you automatically choose later or next time again.

The Radical Wholeness Retreat is four days designed to help you step away from the roles, responsibilities, and expectations that have kept you putting yourself last.

Four days to slow down so you can…

Listen to yourself.

Reconnect with what you want.

Understand the patterns of self-abandonment that have been running your life.

Rebuild self-trust.

Remember what it feels like to be fully yourself.

And to be surrounded by women who understand what it means to carry a lot.

What if choosing yourself now isn’t selfish?
