What does it really take to lead a retreat, especially when you're still questioning your own voice?
In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, Leni Cavazos sits down with Amy Leffler, life and business coach, retreat facilitator, and co-founder of Be Well Ladies Retreats, to explore the internal shift that every retreat leader must make before anything else works.
With over 20 years of experience in human resources and organizational leadership, Amy shares what it looked like to be successful on paper… while still feeling like she didn't belong in the room. From corporate boardrooms to retreat spaces, this conversation dives into the real work behind stepping into leadership: self-worth, visibility, and the courage to be seen.
This episode is part of our speaker series for the Sellout Retreat Summit, and Amy's story is a powerful reminder that building a retreat business doesn't start with logistics, it starts with identity.
Inside this episode, we explore:
▪️ Why confidence and self-worth are foundational to retreat leadership
▪️ The connection between visibility and attracting the right retreat clients
▪️ How showing up online shapes trust before your retreat even begins
▪️ The truth about building a retreat business while still working a corporate job
▪️ Why success in retreats is built through consistency, not overnight wins
▪️ How one decision to "be seen" can open unexpected opportunities
Amy also shares her personal turning point after attending the Sellout Retreat Summit, and how choosing visibility completely changed the trajectory of her business.
If you've been holding back, waiting to feel "ready," or wondering if you have what it takes to lead a retreat… this episode will challenge that narrative. ❕
Because your retreat doesn't start when you arrive at the venue, it starts the moment you decide to lead. 🖤
