In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Laini to reflect on our recent retreat in the Azores. I share my experiences leading 16 incredible midlife women through a transformative journey on this breathtaking island. We discuss how this unique gathering created space for authentic connection, vulnerability, and personal growth as we collectively redefined what health and vitality mean in this season of our lives.

Just a few things we discuss in this episode:

• The power of sisterhood: how women supporting women creates an environment where true transformation can occur.
• Embracing discomfort: how both international travel and vulnerable conversations pushed us all beyond our comfort zones in the most beautiful ways.
• Body wisdom over body criticism: how being in our bodies vs thinking about them led to deeper acceptance and appreciation.

… and so much more.
