Remember why you do what you do. It's the magic ingredient! (plus an insider's look at our India retreat)

It’s hard to believe that it’s been just over three weeks since returning from India.

One aspect of being abroad for so long that I deeply appreciate is how much travel helps put core values back into perspective.

Some of the topics I’ve been speaking about in these blog posts over the past month, elaborate on a couple of mine, namely joy, play, self-love and community.

One element that I consistently notice about working with high performers and ambitious women is that sometimes we lose sight of why we do what we do. We get so enthralled in the rat race, of do more, earn more, finish more tasks, check off more to-dos, that we forget what it’s all in service of.

For me, travel is a direct path to seeing more clearly the core desired experiences I want to have in life.

Because at the end of the day…

…we don’t want to make more money just to make more money;

…we don’t want the next promotion for promotion’s sake;

…and we don’t want to check one more country off of our bucket list either.

We want those things because of the new experience of life that it will make possible for ourselves…

…whether it’s more wiggle room to give back or donate to your favorite charity;

…whether it’s more time and flexibility to spend with your loved ones;

…or whether it’s a greater opportunity to play on purpose, have more adventures, or expand your sense of community.

This is why we do what we do.

I’d encourage you to journal about it and write down your core desired experiences for yourself, so that next time you get zapped up in the rat race of go, go, go, you have reason to pause and reassess, and make some changes.

I’m excited to share with you the video of our recent transformational retreat to India last month. It’s a really beautiful illustration of some of those core desired experiences that many of our travelers seek.

Watch this short video below to see how transformational the PACK Retreats can be for you too!

Lovingly yours,

P.S. If you hadn’t heard the news, we reopened registration for our Women’s Self-Love retreat to the Dominican Republic in March. We decided there are too many wonderful places to visit and consequently this will be our third and final year visiting the Treehouse Villages in DR. (At least for now. 😉

Registration is open until Feb 24th (this coming Sunday).

P.P.S. Registration closes TODAY for group coaching. So this is your last chance to see if you’re a fit.

Mindful Spending & Navigating Lifestyle Creep with Cris Caruso

In this episode of the Prosperous Empath®, I’m sitting down with financial advisor and UNBOUNDED Mastermind Alum, Cris Caruso to talk about a phenomenon that many people have experienced in recent years: lifestyle creep. Cris has been in the financial services industry since 2004 and a financial advisor since 2008. Beyond that, she has pursued additional education in understanding how our behaviors shape financial outcomes by earning the Behavioral Financial Advisor designation from Think2Perform. She also earned the Accredited Domestic Partnership Advisor credential prior to 2015 as a way to support her LGBTQIA+bclients and continues to use this knowledge to work with unmarried couples and non-traditional families. You’ll appreciate her unique experience throughout today’s episode as she speaks on lifestyle creep, or lifestyle inflation, which is overspending on things that you don’t actually need as your income increases. When you’re early in your career, your spending habits focus on must-haves like housing and groceries. But as your income increases, it’s easy to lose track of what is a necessity and what are simply too many luxuries, and to just keep buying more. Cris and I discuss both values-based and practical strategies on how to identify the areas of your life you should spend generously on and where to be more mindful to reach your long-term goals. How do you live in alignment with your money, especially as an entrepreneur and an empath? You’ll get an answer to this question as you listen to our thought provoking conversation on purposeful spending, the importance of allowing yourself to have fun & fabulous experiences, and more.
