I recently wrapped up one of the most unpredictable SMBC retreats I’ve ever hosted, and I’m still unpacking all the lessons it had to teach me. This solo episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when things go completely off-script, and how self-compassion, surrender, and unexpected moments of connection carried me through.This isn’t your typical retreat recap. It’s a story about what happens when you let go of the plan and lean into trust, even when things go sideways. As someone who talks a lot about self-compassion and mindset, this experience gave me a real-time opportunity to practice what I preach.If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to attend a retreat with SGC—or you’ve found yourself navigating curveballs on your SMBC journey—this one’s for you.I’m sharing:<ul><li>The story of a retreat that went wildly off course (and what happened next)</li><li>How curveballs became invitations for growth, trust, and connection</li><li>The power of self-compassion when things don’t go as planned</li><li>The surprising kindness of strangers</li><li>What this experience taught me as a solo mom, solopreneur, and human being</li><li>And the quiet magic that happens when we stop trying to control it all.</li></ul> 👩‍👧‍👦<a href="https://bit.ly/4bXZVq4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Single Greatest Choice</a> is the solo mom support network you’ve been looking for through every stage of your SMBC journey.
