Episode Summary:
Coming home from retreat is magical… and also really tricky. You’ve just spent days immersed in clarity, deep conversation, and the energy of other women doing the same work. And then? Real life comes rushing back—laundry, emails, carpools, deadlines—and suddenly it feels like the “retreat you” is slipping through your fingers.
In this episode, Laurie shares four powerful ways to bring your retreat home with you. Whether you’ve attended a women’s retreat, a leadership intensive, or even just taken a solo weekend to reset, these practices will help you integrate what you learned so you don’t lose momentum the second you unpack your suitcase.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- Why the post-retreat crash is completely normal (and what to do about it)
- Four simple practices to help you stay connected to the woman you became on retreat
- How to bring retreat energy into your everyday life without needing to run away again
- The role of community and accountability in keeping your best-life momentum going
