She'd never done anything like this before

I want to share something with you today, Reader. 💛 This is from a woman who attended a BEST LIFE Retreat in Sun Valley. She came not knowing exactly what to expect. She left with something she hadn't anticipated. I'll let her tell you: "Attending Laurie's BEST LIFE Retreat in Sun Valley was truly life-changing. I had never done anything like it before, and it exceeded every expectation. The experience gave me the opportunity to pause, reflect, and really think intentionally about how I want to live the rest of my life.
I also met an incredible group of women whose stories, perspectives, and support made the experience even more meaningful. I have remained in contact with several of the women months after the retreat. Laurie creates a space that is thoughtful, inspiring, and deeply authentic."
The part that stays with me: she had never done anything like it before. And I get it. That describes most of the women who come. They haven't done something like this before. They've been to conferences. They've hired coaches. They've read the books and listened to the podcasts and done the work...in the margins of their real lives, in whatever time is left over after everyone else's priorities. This is different. This is four days in an extraordinary location, with women who are asking the same questions you are, in a container designed to let you actually answer them. If you've been wondering whether it's worth taking the time away, she just told you. Applications for the BEST LIFE™ Mastermind close this week. Nine months. Ten women. Two retreats in Sun Valley and Carefree, Arizona. Everything included except your travel. If you've been thinking about the Mastermind and intending to fill out the application, this is your reminder that applications are closing very soon. → Apply here She'd never done anything like this before, and it changed her life in ways she never expected. Now it's your turn. xx, Laurie P.S. If you'd like to talk through whether this is right for you before you apply, book a quick 15-minute call with me. I'd genuinely love to talk. P.P.S. Ready to join the Mastermind, but want a payment plan? Let's talk! I'm happy to create something that works for you. |

My mother-in-law took her last breath a week ago today, Reader. And although I had something very different planned for today’s newsletter — I mean, I am writing this on a train from Paris to Bordeaux! — I want to tell you about her. Virginia on her 92nd birthday. (2025) Virginia would be the first to tell you that she lived an incredible life. Or at least most of her 93.5 years were full of adventure, excitement and exuberance. She loved to laugh; more of a joyous giggle, really. She loved...
"Must be nice." Three little words. Nothing too notable about them. But it was the way they were delivered that has me replaying a conversation. I recently ran into someone I've known for a while now at a summer party. She follows me on social, and was aware of my upcoming trip to France. (Honestly, I need to start calling it a “sabbatical” or a “longer-term stay” or something weightier than a “trip” because nearly eight weeks in another country is unlike any other “trip” I’ve taken.) In...
"You don't have to feel ready. You just have to show up for that first day. And then keep showing up after that." Just two weeks after he retired and moved back to Boise, I was picking Dad up for his first day of class. Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in his early-40s, and twenty years later, it was obvious that the disease was progressing. He barely lifted his feet and shuffled as he walked. His posture was stooped forward, and his left hand tremored involuntarily and...
