Deep Rooted Wellness and Creatives

10/30/2025

I was sitting on a mountain, looking down at the words forever tattooed on my arm — “Strength & Courage.”

The red thread bracelet on my wrist catches the light as I reflect on this past year — a year of growth, feedback, and deep personal stretching.

🌿 15 years ago — I was beaten down, dissociated, and just surviving in an abusive marriage.
🌿 13 years ago — my divorce was final.
🌿 6 years ago — I got sober.
🌿 5 years ago — this was all just a dream.
🌿 3 years ago — I led my first retreat with a colleague.

And here I am today — building something I know, in my soul, works.

This work has never been about perfection — it’s about presence, purpose, and transformation.

There were moments this year when feedback was hard to hear, when doubt whispered, “Am I good enough? Will women come?”

But each time, I returned to the truth:
✨ I’ve been training for this my whole life.

Every experience has shaped my ability to walk beside women in their healing — to hold space in nature for resilience, connection, and courage.

After every retreat, when I hear the words like—

“You gave me permission to stop and breathe… and that allowed me to process things I never could before.”

— I feel it in my soul. That’s the heart of this work. That’s the healing that moves mountains.

The red thread bracelets I give each woman are more than a token.

They carry the legend that an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet — no matter the distance or time. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it never breaks.

Every woman who joins a Wild Resilience Retreat carries that reminder:
You are never walking alone.

❤️‍🔥 Strength. Courage. Connection. Always.

🌿 Testimonial Tuesday 🌿

The voices of the women who participate in our retreats and coaching programs speak volumes. Their words are not just feedback — they’re proof of the profound healing and transformation that can occur when we combine community, nature, and intentional space for reflection.

Each testimonial reminds me why this work matters: helping women reconnect with their strength, rediscover their resilience, and realize they are never alone on their healing journey.

🌬 October Mindful Hike Recap 🌿

It always amazes me — the power of AWE. ✨

This beautiful group of women came together to soak in the crisp fall air, share intentional conversations, and reflect on not just letting go of what no longer serves us… but finding the discernment to know what to release. 🍁

We paused often — to marvel at the size of the leaves, to breathe in the colors of fall, to feel the sunshine on our faces, and to listen to the wind in the trees and the river rushing below.

Moments of connection. Presence. Wonder.
The kind of awe that reminds us we are part of something much bigger.

Grateful for the company of like-minded women and the healing that happens when we slow down together in nature. 💛

✨ Letting go isn’t weakness — it’s strength.

We often think control keeps us safe, but true power lies in learning to release what’s not ours to carry.

Explore how mindfulness and radical acceptance can shift your energy, help you breathe deeper, and reclaim your peace. 🌿

One of my favorite parts of the Wild Resilience Backpacking Retreats is weaving creativity into the experience.

Nature has a way of opening the mind. When you slow down, step away from distractions, and allow yourself to simply be, creativity naturally flows. Whether it’s journaling beside a lake, doing leaf rubbings, or noticing patterns in the forest—these moments become both expressions of self and powerful tools for healing.

🌿 When is the last time you gave yourself true space to create? What did you do?

Creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s a form of emotional regulation, a coping tool, and a way of reconnecting with ourselves. The downtime we build into these retreats is essential for the process.

Because growth doesn’t only happen in the hard miles—it also happens in the stillness.

Creativity and resilience go hand in hand. ✨

On every Wild Resilience Backpacking Retreat, I weave in nature-based creative practices—like leaf rubbings, journaling, or sketching by the fire. Why? Because when we’re surrounded by nature, our minds open. We find the time and space to tap into creativity that’s often buried under our busy lives. 🌲

🌿 When’s the last time you gave yourself space to create? What did you do?

Creativity isn’t just for “artists.” It’s essential for emotional regulation, self-expression, and coping. And downtime is a necessary part of the process.

On retreat, nature becomes both muse and co-facilitator, reminding us that creative flow is always waiting inside us.
