RETREATS! Up until Feb 2020, I used to create, host and capture retreats around the world. Between my very first retreat and my second retreat, I was able to more than quadruple my retreat revenue. Photos and video were a huge part of this but I also learned so much on retreat #1 about pricing,…
Well here it is, just in case you didn’t know that FUN is one of my highest values… a fun creative little recap of my summer in Europe (and a lil NYC too). Food, waves, laughs, connection, exploring… what do you think of this new crazy way to play with photos!!?? (I think I’m hooked.)…

At first, I considered it a failure (professionally speaking), but then I changed my mindset and chose to see the first Greece retreat as simply a Beta Test, learning experience, and an expedition to research and create content. I have now captured…
Sometimes I really forget to STOP and really take in good feedback.I often bulldoze through (or right past) compliments and acknowledgement. It’s something I’m working on.
