In this solo episode, I'm sharing my reflections from 2025, which was a year that held equal parts challenge and expansion.

I'm joined by my retreat co-host and dear friend, Lauren Materia, as we chat all about our experience leading the October Aligned & Alive women's retreat and what we're creating for our next retreat happening June 26–29, 2026 in South Hero, Vermont.
