I asked 15 of my amazing women friends if they had a weekend open in October & 13 of them had the same one!
If that's not a sign, idk what is...
October 2026, by the ocean
The invite
Reminder: it is by design that only a few of you actually know each other! I realize that might create some "ugh, no thanx" energy for some of you. This weekend is an open invitation to make some incredible new friends, each of whom I absolutely adore. For local friends juggling real life, kids, or pets, feel free to drift in and out whenever it works. Zero pressure, just space to laugh, get a little silly, make real connections, and fill your own cup.
Why You Really Need This
The Un-Rules & Vibe Check
When you walk through these doors, you bring nothing with you except who you are in this exact moment. This weekend exists for your rejuvenation, not for rehashing daily grind details or stressing over things outside our control.
What This Weekend IS:
- A Soft Landing Space: Show up first for yourself (and a tiny bit for me, because I adore you).
- Whatever You Need It To Be: For a few precious days, you get to be whomever you want to be.
- Zero Drama & Zero Expectations: Every single woman here was handpicked for her incredible heart. No weird agendas, no culty vibes, and zero networking energy.
- Radical Self-Care: Wanna disappear into a bedroom for a nap? Do it. Sit on the beach completely alone with coffee? DO IT. Everyone else will be doing Their thing, too.
What This Weekend IS NOT:
- An Event Where You Have To Be "ON": If your social battery is at 5%, drag that 5% to me and just be. You do not need to entertain anyone.
- A Mandatory Schedule: The itinerary below is for awareness only, never for tracking your presence. Drift in and out as your energy dictates.
- A Venting Trap: Sharing real life struggles and having a good laugh is welcome, but we aren't lingering in the heavy stuff. We aren't solving world problems (well, maybe we are, by taking care of Ourselves!). But we are here to release load, not take on, defend or carry more.
The Caretaker Detox (Our Only Challenge)
We are all default caretakers. It is in our DNA. When you get up to grab a glass of water, your instinct will be to ask the room, "Does anyone need anything?"
I double-dog dare you NOT to do that.
We are going to actively practice not taking care of others for three days. To keep you from worrying about being "accounted for" while you're off honoring your needs, we'll have a simple "Where Am I?" board. Just move your dot to On the Beach, Napping, or At the Bar(?)... so I know you're safe while you do your own thing.

Eating & Food Rhythm
Catered Meals: Friday morning breakfast is lovingly handled by Steph, and Saturday night's celebration feast is provided by Patti. Please send me any specific dietary preferences or allergies in advance (note: 2 of us are plant-based/vegan!).
Around the House: I will keep the fridge stocked with basic plant-based snacky items, and we'll have a custom overnight oats bar set up for Saturday morning. If you want any specific personal treats or sips, feel free to bring whatever makes you happy!
Playing It by Ear: For all other meals and cravings, we're keeping it relaxed: popping in and out, hitting local spots, or cooking together. We are about a 10-minute walk North to Pacific Beach and South to Mission Beach. A grocery store is also just a 5-minute drive (or 15-minute walk) away.
Local Love: I'm working on sourcing additional treats from local, women-owned and run shops. More details to come!
