“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”Â
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
We know that your business needs to grow, and that your creativity cannot be contained. This retreat is designed to help you create those alternative streams of income you've been dreaming about, and strategically plan your next steps to make them a reality.
We believe that travel is one of the most important things that you can do during your lifetime. Not only do you push yourself out of your comfort zone but you also grow as a human being.
Travel tests you. It’s not always pretty. But the activities you do, the people you meet, the pictures you take, the food you eat, and the landscapes you walk, create memories that last forever.
As therapists, small business owners, and entrepreneurs, we don’t always practice what we preach.
We have all of these great ideas but most of them only reside within our minds, never to be seen by the world.
Our own fears and insecurities convince us that we should play it small, that we should shrink back inside of ourselves, and that we will inevitably FAIL.
During your time in beautiful Catalonia, Spain, we are going to launch these ideas into reality. Our coaches have successfully created:
- Monetized podcasts
- Successful coaching programs
- Membership sites that actually sell
- Retreats & Summits
- Group Practices
- CEU events
During your time at the luxurious Catalonian seaside Villa, we are going to support you to ensure that you have Clarity, Confidence, & Consistency.
Call it impostor syndrome. Call it insecurity. Call it self-doubt…
Whatever you call it, we are going to work through it together and OBLITERATE it so that it no longer paralyzes you from putting your GREATNESS into the world.
Doubt Yourself But DO IT ANYWAY!
(That is the motto of this retreat.)
SOLD OUT! JOIN WAITLISTYou’ll be with other like-minded, INCREDIBLY talented human beings in an “Incubator” in the most historic cities in Spain.
How can it possibly get any better than that?
Oh… did we mention you will get to write most of this off on your taxes? That’s a nice added bonus as well. (Obviously, talk with your accountant about what percentage is deductible).
What is the Power of the Group Experience?
Normalizes fears, failures, & mistakes, allowing us to acknowledge that it’s OK to second guess ourselves
Allows us to build each other up and turbocharge our creative processes
Being around excited, creative, & motivated people pushes us to be better than we were before
They allow for accountability, life-long relationships, belly laughs, and storytelling. These are the things that make you think back and smile.
Lifelong connections are forged in these events. Our goal is for you to show up Authentically, Vulnerably, and leave feeling Inspired to take on the World!
Our Coaches have successfully monetized and created the following, and will spend time helping you with:Â
- Membership Sites

During this experience, we’re going to combine work and play with a little bit of history…

As your retreat hosts, Jennifer and I believe that travel helps us take more risks in life. It gives us permission to move, to experience the culture, to eat new food, and to make new friends and connections. We owe almost everything we have to travel experiences. When we start to think bigger, we can start becoming more creative in our businesses, our personal lives, and in everything we do.
You don’t grow when you’re comfortable.
Â
“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts; it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain
