A woman named Michelle (hi, new friend Michelle!) messaged me on Instagram this week. She’d found my work through Shannon Watts’ book Fired Up, which was sitting in her office. She flipped it open and landed on the page where I talk about asking for what you want out of life. To quote myself:
“If you want something in life, you have to say the freaking thing out loud! And when you do, it’s just ‘boom!’ It happens! I’m proof of what happens when women say, ‘This is what I want from this lifetime.’”
I give this advice almost daily because I believe it. Sunday’s post, which struck a chord with thousands of you, listed all the little financial and love miracles that started showing up once I got clear on what I want. I talked about knowing the universe wants all of us to succeed — financially and in every other part of our lives too.
And after another mind-blowing experience this morning, where I called on my angels and they showed up in the most extreme way possible, I know it’s my time. (I’ll write about that one separately — it brought me to my knees and I haven’t recovered.)
But I forgot one key thing: I have to ask for what I want OUT LOUD. It’s like telling you all that Santa’s coming tonight and I’m #1 on the Nice List, but forgetting to ask him for a single gift. How’s he supposed to know? (He’s a guy, after all — he probably won’t remember unless it’s in writing and someone reminds him ten times.)
So here’s what I want: I’d like to invite you to my retreat at Cavallo Point on November 14th — and I’d like you to reserve your spot today.
This is my number one priority right now (tied closely with raising capital). I need a headcount so the lodge can book the right space, I need to write the checks to reserve it, and I need to take care of my co-hosts and myself. If you’d like to stay over Friday or Saturday night, the discounted room block is small and going fast — if we fill it this week, they’ll open more rooms for us.
November feels far off, but it’s only four months away. Basically tomorrow.
So, a few perks to get you off the fence (you know I think I’m Oprah and was born to give things away):
$50 off with code OFF50 at checkout — good through tomorrow, July 1st.
Two giant giveaways for anyone who signs up by July 1st: $1,000 of cookware from my favorite high-end brands (Hestan, Staub, and more), and a Nama J2 juicer I’ll be using to make drinks for everyone at the retreat.
Honestly, this retreat doesn’t need perks to be worth it. I always have a hard time charging for things, but I know this one will be worth every penny. It’s at Cavallo Point — one of the most beautiful, health-forward retreat spots in California — hosted by three humans who are each the best at what they do.
Most of all, this is a day to reconnect with yourself outside the world you’ve built, which can be so hard to step away from. And the collective energy of magical people coming together is a gift in itself. (How lucky am I that I already know almost everyone who’s coming — and the ones I haven’t met yet already feel like old friends.)

I love you Friends and I appreciate you. I hope I’ll see you there!

P.S. I’m pressing send on this, walking away to watch World Cup for a few hours, and know I’ll come home to a million emails with people having reserved their spots! THAT is how the universe works. ;)
