Why This Retreat Exists
It all started in a Chick-fil-A.
Julie and Lauren were sitting in a booth, celebrating their daughters’ wins from a cooking contest (yes, it was just as wholesome as it sounds). They didn’t know it then, but that introductory conversation over waffle fries would lead to something big.
Lauren had been following Julie on social media, watching the way she showed up for women in leadership and business. One day, she picked up the phone and said, “I have a dream about building a retreat.”
Julie didn’t hesitate. “Tell me more because I ALSO have a dream about building a retreat.”
And just like that—two hearts, two wildly different sets of skills, and one shared passion for building up women—The Bravo Bravery Retreat was born.
We created this retreat because we believe brave women change the world, but that doesn't mean that sometimes you might need a little reminder to Believe It As You Brave It!
As entrepreneurs, creators, leaders, small business owners, and vision-chasers, we carry a lot of: pressure, passion, dreams, and doubts. We need space to breathe, to realign, and to remember why we started.
So we made that space.
Not just for us.
For you.
This is a pause and a push.
A retreat and a recharge.
A place to root your business strategy in your next steps, and surround yourself with women who believe in you.
You’ll come with big dreams (and maybe a little burnout)...
And you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, community, and a plan that actually feels like you.
(Oh—and don’t worry about the food. Neither of us is doing the cooking. We’ve got Chef Iris bringing the flavor and beauty to every single meal.)
