find your flow RECONNECT AT A LADYBOSS RETREAT

aretreat is the perfect way to remind yourself who you are, get a much-needed break, and reconnect with or even reignite your passions and goals. The word retreat means to withdraw, and sometimes you have to take a step back in order to propel yourself forward. Flow: The Ladyboss Retreat is about doing just that. This retreat is an opportunity to withdraw from the regular routine of life, hear from inspirational keynote speakers, participate in breakout sessions, and connect with fellow ladybosses, so that once you return to your everyday life, you do so as a better version of yourself.

Even if you are living your absolute dream life, even if every day you wake up and can’t believe how lucky you are to have the life that you do, you still need to get away. With the rise of working from home, work-life balance has gotten even more, well, unbalanced. When you’re working from home (or what more often feels like “living at work”) it can be hard to reconnect with yourself. Who are you outside of your job, household duties, and even relationships?

If you haven’t experienced burnout yet this last year and a half, you’re likely going to. More working women are experiencing feelings of burnout than ever. According to a Hartford Business Study, 66% of working women feel burned out, a much higher percentage than their male peers. Even if you love what you do, if you don’t take breaks from the grind, it’s likely to grind you.

The consequences of unaddressed burnout can be pretty bleak. Those experiencing burnout are likely to have mental health crises, underperform at work, lose interest in their hobbies, and even leave the workforce altogether.

Another way to keep burnout at bay is to invest in yourself. When was the last time you invested in your own personal or professional development? When is the last time you really did something for yourself? It’s tough to take time away from the growing to-do list to have some “me time.” But time spent investing in yourself and in your future is never time wasted. We live in a world where there is a ton of pressure to constantly be “on,” and constantly be going and doing something. One of the greatest acts of self-care is taking a moment for yourself and getting away from the grind.

After a long year of being mostly alone and mostly indoors, we could all use a chance to get out in nature with our community. One of the biggest losses of the last year and a half has been in-person events. We miss our community, and we know you do too! We’re better together, and we can’t wait to get together with you again.

Getting away from your day-to-day routine can be vital in reconnecting, rediscovering or reviving your relationship to yourself. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and your future, we encourage you to do so with Flow: The Ladyboss Retreat, coming in March 2022.
