Let’s be honest: when was the last time you did something just for you—something that didn’t involve errands, meal prep, or answering emails with a toddler hanging on your leg?
Friend, it’s time for a retreat. Not a spa day. Not a Target run with an iced coffee. I’m talking about an actual, soul-resetting, God-meeting, breath-of-fresh-air retreat with like minded people. And here are five playful (but deeply real) reasons why you need one like… yesterday:
1. You can’t pour from an empty coffee mug.
We all love a good caffeine metaphor. But seriously—how long have you been running on fumes? A retreat gives you the sacred permission to stop doing and start being. To refill your cup (with something better than espresso—like peace, joy, rest, and divine perspective). Ahhhh, I can feel myself relaxing just thinking about it.
2. Your nervous system called—it’s begging for a break.
Let’s talk about your overstimulated, overworked self for a sec. Notifications. Noise. Kids fighting. Grocery lists. On the list goes.
A retreat is like noise-canceling headphones for your soul. Imagine breathing deeply without being interrupted, walking in creation without multitasking, and hearing God’s whisper again. (Yes, He’s still talking). Retreats help you listen.

3. There’s breakthrough in the “get AWAY.”
Some of the biggest spiritual ah-ha moments don’t happen in your living room. They happen when you leave your normal rhythms and meet God in a secret place, a new place. Retreats are sacred spaces for transformation. Walls fall. Chains break. Clarity rushes in. And guess what? You come home changed.
4. Laughter, luxury, and like-minded friends are good for the soul.
You think retreats are stuffy or super serious? Not this one. It’s mocktails and sharing our deepest stories over sunsets, deep belly laughs at the dinner table, and worship under the stars. You’ll meet other women who are walking this same beautiful mess of life and leave with soul sisters.
5. Because Jesus retreated… and you’re invited to too.
From the very beginning, God established a rhythm of rest. On the seventh day, after creating the heavens and the earth, “God rested from all His work” (Genesis 2:2). And He didn’t just rest—He blessed that day and made it holy (Genesis 2:3). Later, He commands us to “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy” (Exodus 20:8), not to burden us, but to bless us. Retreating is a way of stepping into Sabbath rest—a sacred pause from our striving, so we can reset, reconnect with our Creator, and remember who we are without the hustle.
Even the Son of God slipped away to quiet places to pray, reset, and reconnect with the Father. If He needed it, so do we. A retreat isn’t indulgent—it’s biblical.

Ready to retreat?
If your heart whispered yes somewhere in that list… trust it. You don’t need to “earn” rest. You were made for it. I’ve got a spot just for you at one of my upcoming retreats—where Jesus is the center, the pace is slower, and your soul gets to breathe again.
