Spilling the beans on everything hosting retreats & in-person events

friend,
I’ve learned so much about what works—and what really doesn’t—after selling out two luxury retreats in just 2 months with no fancy sales page, no ads, and no big launch… plus a flopped launch that taught me everything I needed to know. 😅
I’m spilling the tea with you on all of it—from the exact strategies I used to the mistakes I’ll never make again—so you can confidently launch and sell out your own offers (without the stress spiral).
✨ I just dropped a podcast episode answering YOUR questions and sharing my full strategy.
Just aligned strategy, soulful storytelling, and a lot of heart.
🎙️ In this episode, I reflect on:
✨ How to validate your retreat idea before you launch
✨ The secret to long runway launches (and how long you actually need)
✨ Why I ditched the basic yoga-and-journaling formula
✨ The biggest objections I faced—and how I moved through them
✨ My daily sales flow & mindset that made all the difference
✨ And the one simple trick that actually helped me fill the retreats faster
If you want to sell out your next high-ticket retreat, event, or even virtual offer... this is your episode.
