Pack your bags and your big midlife dreams—we’re going to Paris, baby
In this very personal (and slightly jet-lagged) episode, Laurie shares her reflections from a solo trip to Paris and announces an exciting new adventure for 2026: The School of Midlife Study Abroad Retreats. Imagine sipping wine in sidewalk cafés, sketching in the Luxembourg Gardens, and talking legacy, purpose, and joy with like-minded women.
You’ll get the inside scoop on what these upcoming international retreats will look like, why they're tailor-made for midlife women craving more out of life, and how Paris itself reminded Laurie what it means to come home to yourself.
This isn't a vacation—it's an immersive, soul-shifting experience. And it’s designed for you.

- Laurie's personal experience traveling solo to Paris (and why it wasn't scary after all)
