Do YOU ever feel overwhelmed with the busyness of your life?

You give everyone your time and energy and when it comes time for YOU, you’ve got nothing left?!?

Are YOU ready to live a life that is better than busy?

We live in a world where we can easily get caught up in the busyness of life and trying to live “right” according to what we think the world expects of us. Too often we feel distracted, overwhelmed, frustrated and perhaps even angry. How do I know? I lived that way for years. Looking back, I think I was addicted to busy! I believed that busy meant I was successful, that I was accepted and that I was good enough. My identity was wrapped up into my success in my career. In my busyness, I was blinded to what this lifestyle was doing to my most important relationships and my health!

As a life coach for the past 10 years, I’ve come to realize that I wasn’t the only one who was addicted to busy. In fact, the lie of busyness is plastered all over the place and women are some of the worse producers of this belief. I want to stand up for women and shout at the top of my lungs, STOP THE GLORYIFCIATION OF BUSY.

For years, I dreamed of owning a lake house and retreat center and in 2022, this BIG dream came true. I’m so excited to share the Retreat at the Garden with you, Located a Lake Thunderhead, in Unionville, MO. My hope is to offer YOU a safe space where you can slow down, rest and reconnect with yourself.  My desire is that you can escape from responsibilities and worries of your normal routine for a few days as you embark in a journey of reconnecting with YOU so that you can be your best self.
