Let me stop you right there, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE] 🖐️


Hi Reader,

Do you focus more time on…

✔️ your kids

✔️ your partner

✔️ your work

✔️ your unfinished to-do-list

…than yourself?

Well, let me stop you before it gets worse!

Because that kind of life is not sustainable. Too many doters-on-others, over-achievers, all-the-hats-entrepreneurs, and other multi-hyphenates (or simply parents and people with jobs) are working themselves into a frenzy.

If you’re any one of those 👆

then you need to do this 👇

Listen, I know it sucks living in chaos. I’ve been there, but I got out.

There are certain things you can do to feel grounded, spacious, flowing, and vibrant again.

So, how do you escape the frenzy? By:

>> taking time out,

>> pouring love and energy into yourself in a dedicated retreat, and

>> allowing yourself to be nourished and cared for with loving guidance, nature, and delicious food.

Return to You has all that, and more.

Check out the details here, or schedule a call with me to see how a summer retreat can re-set your frenzy into fabulous. You’ll do more than relax. You’ll learn ways to replace what ails you with what heals you.

I know the push to create, do more, and be more is ever-present. But for what? Stress and burnout?

Instead, create space. Do art. Make movement. Explore. Be authentic.

Join me in August for a much-needed respite from a life that isn’t exactly what you hoped for. Get the reprieve you and come back to your world with new eyes and a fresh perspective.

Carrie

Hi Reader, I hear this a lot when I talk about Doula Magic: “I’m not into birth and babies. So being a doula isn’t for me.” Nope. Not anymore. The truth is: you don’t need to be interested in anything regarding reproduction to be a doula. The doula role is applicable to anyone, going through any life challenge, at any age, in any field. The bigger truth is: doulas are most effective at creating more humane, compassionate, and transformative experiences during life’s hardest moments. Come to...
