Why Taking Time for a Reset is Non-Negotiable for You—and Your Business

Feeling a bit vulnerable writing this! But here goes. I wanted to share the story behind our latest retreat launch—the why we created them and the journey that led us here.

Looking back at the years of growing and running my business, one of the main feelings that stands out is how I felt completely consumed by it all. There was always something to do, someone to manage, another decision to make. It was exhausting. Suffocating. I was completely overwhelmed.

What I didn’t realise at the time was how much I was sacrificing my health—and how deeply it impacted my passion for what I was doing. Without that passion, my business would suffer. And badly. But still, everything took a backseat to the constant pressure of work: growing the team, paying wages and bills, planning for the next financial year. It felt like being stuck in a hamster wheel, running but going nowhere.

Over time, the stress, overwhelm, and uncertainty chipped away at my confidence. I started doubting myself. The ideas that once flowed easily became forced. I wasn’t leading with the same clarity and energy that I had at the start.

I know I’m not the only one who’s felt this way. Maybe you’ve been there too. Maybe you’re there now.

If you are, I want you to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

For me, that light came when I finally decided to step away. I needed time to clear my head, to rest my mind, to reconnect with who I really was. I didn’t have the answers at the time, but I knew I needed something more. Something that allowed me to breathe again, to move my body, to just be in nature, and—yes—to swim in the sea (of course!). I needed time not just to exist, but to live again.

And the thing is, I didn’t just need a break—I needed to work on my business, too. But it had to be different. I didn’t want to simply survive; I wanted to thrive without sacrificing my well-being in the process. I wanted to tap back into my creativity, to reignite my passion for what I was building, and to regain my confidence as a leader.

But when I was deep in the thick of it, I didn’t have the tools or the clarity to do that. What I really needed was time away—time to reset, to focus on myself, and to gain the clarity that would allow my business to grow without compromising my mental and physical health. But I couldn’t take that time off...

That’s why I’m so passionate about our Ibiza Business Retreat and Mallorca Leadership Retreat. These were exactly what I needed back then. I didn’t just need help with business strategy—I needed a space to reconnect with myself, to prioritise my health, my creativity, and my confidence. And it’s what we’re now offering to entrepreneurs who are feeling just like I did.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out, I get it. I’ve been there. But please know—you don’t have to keep sacrificing yourself for your business. You can have both. You can thrive without losing who you are.

These retreats are about more than just taking time off. They’re about giving yourself the space to breathe, to reset, to tap into your creativity, and to build the confidence you need to lead your business with passion and purpose.

I’ve gone from feeling completely lost to feeling inspired, grounded, and full of passion for what I do again. I promise you can, too. You just need to give yourself permission to step away, to take care of yourself, and to work on your business in a way that nourishes your soul—not just your bottom line.

I’ve learned that self-care and business success don’t have to be at odds with each other. In fact, they go hand in hand. And I know that you can have both, too.

With love,
