Last week I announced a summer retreat for women entrepreneurs. If you’ve been following along through my Mind Mastery Monday emails or my IG account, you may have noticed I’ve been in a process of uncovering what I really want my business to look like.
I believe we are all always changing and growing. It’s what we are here to do on this planet. Nothing stays the same right? Change is inevitable.
You may or may not know this, but I owned a yoga studio before I had my kids. It was amazing. It was focused on mothers and even provided childcare onsite for yoga classes, massage, etc. Anyways, I loved that business, and I felt so aligned with what I was doing there. The Universe had other plans for me and my children though. The business closed abruptly (loooong story there) when I was 7 months pregnant with our oldest. It threw me into the world of being a SAHM, something I never thought I’d be. I had visions of bringing my children to work with me, having them grow up in a yoga studio surrounded by a village of supporters.
But my soul had other needs. I needed to be a SAHM mom. I grew tremendously. I finally was able to let go of my worth being tied to anything outside of me. It gave me the freedom to explore who I really was and what I really wanted because I didn’t have to answer to anyone or pretend to be anything. It truly was exactly what I needed.
Over the last few years, I’ve been yearning for something more. I’ve felt and (almost) reconciled the guilt I felt for wanting more than the SAHM life. I was living the dream after all. I started coaching other mothers because it was a step towards that goal.
But coaching wasn’t the dream in my heart. Having retreats was. It’s been in my mind, heart, and soul even before the yoga studio. But it felt too big. Too much of a leap.
I’ve come to the point where I can’t say no anymore. There is literally no other reason to say no other than just dismissing my true soul’s desire and giving into fear. I feel like all the life experiences I’ve had, event planning, designing spaces, endless seeking of self-development, raising kids in a conscious way, having neurodivergent kids, having an online business, and on and on, have taught me the pieces of information I needed to make retreats finally happen.
Life is a meandering road sometimes yet it all leads us where we are meant to go. Last summer when we launched, LIGHT Events it was born from the passion of wanting to light up other people and help them shine. It’s evolving as we are evolving. And I feel so alive.
As my focus is shifting towards hosting and planning retreats, expect some changes. It’s the one thing we can count on after all, right? 😉
Cheers to changes!
