She offers practical tips for fostering connections, including micro interactions with others, and discusses the role of retreats in building community and belonging. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to prioritize connection in their daily lives.
🌿 Retreat Invitation...
If this episode resonates, this is exactly why I host immersive women’s health retreats focused on movement, nervous system healing, connection and restoration.
My next international retreat, Pilates by the Mekong in Vietnam this October, is designed for midlife women who want to reduce stress, improve digestion, balance hormones and reconnect with themselves through Pilates, strength training, whole-food nutrition and daily regulation practices.
