Learning business in paradise while connecting with like-minded women.
Secure your early bird spot for the business retreat in Vietnam 2026.

Today Eli and I reconnect after my month-long trip to Vietnam - where something completely unexpected happened... in the best way.

This wasn’t just a vacation. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when you actually step away from your business and trust the systems you've built. Two years ago, I couldn't have done this. But this time, thanks to strong structures and a shift in mindset, I not only enjoyed deep rest and cultural adventure - I also made big moves for the future.

We’re talking about what it really means to live within your means, invest in yourself, and make space for both peace and progress. Plus, I share the behind-the-scenes of setting up our first ever Beauty Business Retreat in Vietnam, happening 2026 - and why this could be the game-changer for beauty entrepreneurs ready to scale without burnout.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ The difference strong systems make when you take time off
✨ Why Vietnam inspired a whole new level of clarity and vision
✨ How to balance rest with purpose-driven planning
✨ The truth about burnout - and how to avoid it for good
✨ What you can expect from our upcoming retreat (and why it’s different)
✨ Group coaching vs personalized mentorship - and what you need

This is your sign to stop surviving and start scaling - with support that honors your energy, vision, and growth.

You don’t have to do it alone. If you’re a beauty business owner feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure of your next step, our Vietnam retreat might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Let’s build something that fuels you, not drains you.

I want to empower women in the beauty industry to create an impact, build an empire, and leave their legacy!
