This is better than working Friday before Thanksgiving...

I moved to Traverse City because of the magic this place holds. There’s something about overlooking the water that resets your soul — life slows down, your breath deepens, and a sense of calm takes over.
Since childhood, I’ve wanted to share that feeling with others. And next month, I get to do that in a new way — through a one-day Out of Office Retreat designed exclusively for professional women who give so much to everyone else.
✨ This one’s for you. ✨
In partnership with Northwestern Michigan College’s Extended Education, this retreat is perfectly timed — the Friday before Thanksgiving — a moment when we could all use a pause. Before the hustle of the holidays ramps up, take this day to re-center, refocus, and reconnect with yourself.
And let’s be honest… who really wants to be working that day anyway? 😉
Here’s the short version:
📅 Friday, November 21, 2025
🌊 Overlooking Lake Michigan
🧘♀️ Morning yoga to ground and energize you
💬 Personal + professional development workshops
👗 Build your personal brand with a professional stylist
🤝 Space for connection and new friendships🎟️ Limited to 20 attendees
Whether you live in Northern Michigan or not, you’re welcome here. There’s even a beautiful hotel just two blocks away — the perfect excuse to make it a full weekend experience.
Here’s a little tip: many attendees are using their professional development budget to attend. (Because personal growth is professional growth.)
You deserve a day to recharge, reflect, and fill your own cup — before the season that asks so much of you begins.
I’d love to see you there.
