How to Upgrade Instead of Escape - Redefining Retreats from Guatemala
In this episode, I’m recording live (well, not quite live, but you get it) from Guatemala after an incredible one-week retreat at Lake Atitlán. But here’s the thing—retreats aren’t just about escaping reality, they’re about amplifying it. Too often, we think of retreats as a way to run from life’s chaos. But what if a retreat could expand your life instead of just giving you a break from it? I break down a new way to think about retreats—not as a withdrawal, but as a chance to re-treat yourself. Whether it’s a day-long reset, a weekend escape, or a full immersive retreat, the real magic happens when you bring something back into your daily life.
Key Highlights:
✔️ Reframe Your Retreats: Instead of escaping, see them as an opportunity to refuel and expand.
✔️ Life is Already a Treat: When you see your daily life as something special, retreats become a way to add more flavor, not run away.
✔️ Small Shifts = Big Change: Even 1% improvements from a retreat can compound into massive life transformation over time.
✔️ Reconnect with Joy: What experiences light you up? Whether it’s dancing, swimming, or connecting with nature—bring more of that into your daily routine.
✔️ Practical Travel Tips: Insights from my Guatemalan retreat experience, including why the world is safer than the news tells you and why you should travel with an open mind.
