In this episode:

Shannon welcomes guest, Minette Riordan, a midlife transformation coach, to discuss the profound impact of retreats on personal and professional growth. They explore the value of destination retreats, which allow attendees to disconnect from daily routines, engage in mindful play, and embrace transformative processes that help reconnect with their intuitive wisdom and bigger purpose.

 Here are two takeaways from Season 8 Episode 7:

  1. Transformation doesn’t happen in the same environment

Stepping out of familiar surroundings to foster personal growth is critical. When you are in a new space, whether at a retreat or in nature, your everyday routine is disrupted and this provides a fresh perspective, enabling deeper self-reflection and creativity.

  1. Creativity is an ability that every human has.

Creativity isn’t limited to artistic expression, but involves problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation. It’s a universal skill that helps individuals reimagine their challenges and uncover new possibilities, making it essential for transformation.
