Turns out when you stop performing your anxiety disappears!
True story!

friend,
When I created Vivacious Retreats, it wasn’t to give you another tool, funnel, or framework.
You already have all of that and have tried all the strategies.
The woman who joins my spaces isn’t chasing after a magic pill, a viral moment, or a quick win
She joins because deep down in her bones, she knows that there’s way more…
Way more than the version she’s been sharing online for years…
And she is ready to turn up the volume on her voice and story!!
She’s ready to channel depth and artistic expression, not just content!
I created Vivacious Retreats because I knew what happens when a woman is held in a space sacred enough to finally hear herself again.
To speak her truth before it’s been polished.
To embody a version of her brand that isn’t performative, but rooted in her convictions and what is ALIVE for her now.
And when I watch women leave my retreats, I know it works!!
✨ Like Myca, who said…
“The biggest shift I experienced has been the way I’m telling my story and the volume at which I’m telling my story. I’ve turned it up!
I feel more confident in my voice, in my body, and in my business. I’ve shared things here I haven’t shared in years.”
But not only that, two weeks post retreat, Myca shared with me how her anxiety, night sweats and tightness in chest has gone…she called it “magic” but this is RESONANCE!
When you are deeply connected to your truth, essence, and voice, the DISease that you felt for performing simply melts away!
And…
✨ Gabby, who vulnerably shared:
"I do marketing for everyone else, but showing up for me has felt impossible. At this retreat, that changed. I’m finally ready to be visible again. I can feel a shift. I can feel a lot less anxiety in my body.
I can feel more clarity in terms of where I wanna go and how to get there, and more confidence in a sense of self, a nice reminder of who I am, who I've always been, and who I can become with the resources I got here”.
This is the shift.
Not more expert content.
Not a new content calendar.
But a deeper sense of self, one that ripples into your brand presence and makes your message magnetic!
This is your last day to claim the Early Bird Offer for next retreat in my homeland, Egypt!

✨ Shed what no longer serves you
✨ Reclaim your voice & message
✨ Learn how to lead with your story (not just strategy)
✨ Walk through ancient temples & activate your visibility in a way that sticks
✨ Leave with magnetic content and a whole new level of embodiment
