What’s the one meal that always feels like home?
When life feels uncertain, a favorite dish can bring you right back to yourself.

For me, it’s a simple serving of ZUCCHINI MUFFINS… bright, nourishing, and always made with love. Food has a way of grounding us, connecting us to our roots, and opening our hearts to joy.

That’s why mindful nourishment is woven into every retreat and recipe I share with space for your own favorites, too.

Tell me: what’s your go-to comfort food? Share below, and if you’d love a collection of soulful, nourishing recipes, Mindful Foodie eBook is now a free gift, just for you: Free Mindful Foodie eBook 🥗

What if your “maybe” became a life-changing “yes”?

Sometimes the opportunity we’ve been longing for is right in front of us; we just need a little encouragement to take the leap.

So many guests who join our retreat tell me the same thing: “I almost talked myself out of it. But now, I can’t imagine missing this experience.” Sardinia has a way of surprising you—offering laughter, healing, and a deeper connection to yourself and others.

This is your gentle reminder that there’s still time to claim your seat at the table for our September 26 retreat—a week of nourishment, adventure, and authentic community, all in the heart of the Blue Zones.

If you’re feeling the nudge, let’s talk. Send me a message, or visit Secrets of Sardinia Retreat to save your spot.

Sometimes, the best stories begin with a single yes. 🌿

So important to take some time out 💞
Somedays I don’t even leave the apartment .. tapping away on the computer, scheduling online meetings, still organising my mums stuff back home as her EPOA etc etc

So I scheduled this!

I did 2 hours of work this morning .. Will spend a few hours here .. and then maybe a few little emails tonight to clear the agenda for tomorrow.

Especially when you work for yourself … you can end up working most days, so if that’s you.. pop some downtime in the diary. 📔

Schedule you! I worked with a wonderful mentor that taught me that one! I’m not always great at it but I’m getting better!

And breathe … 🧘‍♀️

(And first time wearing my fab 🩱- love the retro terry towelling)

What if a spoonful of green could brighten your whole day?
Making the same old meals, wishing for something fresh and nourishing (but still simple).

One recipe our Sardinia retreat guests always adore is my fresh vegan pesto… made with basil, a handful of nuts or seeds, a squeeze of lemon, and a swirl of olive oil. I love tossing in whatever herbs are on hand… basil, parsley, even dandelion greens, blending it up until it’s just right. It’s a reminder that nourishing food can be creative, vibrant, and made exactly to your taste.

You don’t need fancy ingredients or strict rules. Pesto is endlessly versatile: use it as a dip, toss it with pasta, spoon it over veggies or meats, whatever brings you joy.

Want the full recipe? My signature Mindful Foodie eBook is now free for you.

Ever wonder what it’s really like to step into a week of mindful living in Sardinia?
Sometimes we need to hear from someone who’s already taken the leap and found joy, connection, and authenticity on the other side.

Anne-Marie from Australia shared:
“The retreat that was promised, was totally delivered… the nature, culture, delicious healthy food, mindfulness & meditation, relaxation, Blue Zones & ancient history.
Lisa’s attention to detail, fun & generous personality makes for a wonderful experience.
Her connection to local people brings such authenticity and joy. Thank you Lisa!”

Every detail is crafted with care, so you can immerse yourself in all that Sardinia offers, while feeling held, inspired, and welcomed.

What’s one piece of wisdom you wish you could share with your younger self?

With every year, life gifts us new lessons, and sometimes, those lessons are worth celebrating out loud.

One of my favorite parts of the Sardinia retreat is the sharing of stories… how each woman brings her own insights, resilience, and warmth. I’ve learned so much from these circles: things like letting go of perfection, trusting timing, and finding joy in the small moments.
When we share what we’ve learned, we lift each other up and remind ourselves that we’re always growing.

What’s a piece of wisdom or self-kindness you’ve earned along the way?

Share it below and inspire someone today, or ask about joining our circle in Sardinia this September: Secrets of Sardinia Retreat 🌸

Worried you might be “too quiet,” or “too new” to join us in Sardinia?
It’s natural to wonder if you’ll belong, especially when trying something new or traveling solo.

Here’s the truth: the Secrets of Sardinia retreat is intentionally small and warmly inclusive… no cliques, no comparison, just open-hearted women seeking meaning, joy, and a reset. Many guests come solo or with their own questions and nerves.

Within days, first hellos become easy laughter, shared stories, and a sense of belonging that lingers long after the week ends.

No matter your age, personality, or story, you’re welcome here… just as you are. You’ll find space for both connection and quiet, adventure and rest.

If you’ve been holding back because you’re unsure you’ll “fit,” this is your sign: you belong.

Curious about what to expect or want to chat it through? Send me a DM.

There’s something special about stepping into a new adventure… and it’s even better when you know who’s there to welcome you.

I’m Lisa — your host for the Secrets of Sardinia Retreat. I’m a midlife adventurer, mindful living mentor, and true believer in the magic of soulful travel, nourishing food, and real, heartfelt connection. My own journey has taken me through health challenges, career changes, and the search for meaning after 50.

Sardinia’s wisdom and wild beauty have helped me rediscover joy, vitality, and community—and I love sharing this with women who are ready for their reset.

My hope is for you to feel completely at home, supported, and inspired to be yourself. And if you’d love to bring someone along—your partner, sister, grown child, or a soul friend—there’s just one spot left for our “bring a friend” 50% off offer. Bring someone you care about and create beautiful memories together!

If something in you is calling for more this season, or if you’re curious what Sardinia could spark in you, send me a DM—I’d love to chat. 🌸

Slowly down!

Are you ‘doing’ too much and not allowing yourself to just ‘be’?

Does the guilt overwhelm you if you aren’t ticking off the to do list, making it pretty much impossible to relax anyway?

If that’s you... like it was me (up until very recently in fact) hit the sign up button on this page for my newsletter where I take a more in depth and closer look at this phenomenon... along with my most recent epiphanies on this topic.

And oh how my life has changed since!
