Inside the Entrepreneur Retreat: Strategy, Wellness, and Connection
This past weekend’s Entrepreneur Retreat was more than just a getaway—it was a reset, a refocus, and a reminder of what’s possible when women entrepreneurs come together with open minds and open hearts.
From the moment we arrived, the tone was set: this was a space to pour into our businesses and ourselves. Over the course of three days, we blended high-level business strategy with intentional wellness practices, proving that true success is built when you nurture both the visionary and the vessel.
The Flow of the Weekend
We began our mornings with movement and mindfulness. Guided by Gabriela Huerta, our Mindfulness & Mobility Coach, we set the tone for clarity and presence before diving into full days of workshops and connection. Melissa Rivas, Personal Trainer and Gym Owner, also pushed us to move our bodies during a powerful group workout, showing us how physical strength fuels leadership and confidence.
Workshops throughout the retreat were led by powerhouse women, each offering their expertise:
Vision Development & Business Planning with Melody Duarte, Founder of The Biz People, gave us the space to clarify our long-term goals, map out aligned strategies, and build a strong foundation for the year ahead.
Financial Projections & Revenue Planning, also led by Melody Duarte, helped us answer the big question: How much money should my business be making—and how do I get there? Attendees walked away with practical tools to project income, plan intentionally, and create realistic pathways to hit financial goals.
Operations Strategy with Alexis Mastrogianni provided clarity on systems and delegation, so businesses can grow without the chaos.
Financial Empowerment with Allie Miller of Miller Financials gave us actionable steps to organize money with confidence and plan for the future.
Marketing & Community Building with Nicole Leon, CEO of LASH SFL and LEON VA, inspired us to think bigger and bolder about how we connect with our audience and position our brands.
Between the strategy sessions, we prioritized wellness—because sustainable business growth requires a healthy, grounded leader. We experienced group acupuncture with Carolina Amaya, where participants felt tension lift and energy reset. A sleep hygiene workshop reminded us that rest is the ultimate productivity tool, and nutritious meals curated by Andrea Bedoya and My Lunch Miami fueled our bodies with intention. Fresh sourdough bread and cookies from Grain and Gather Bakery added a warm, homemade touch to the table.
And let’s not forget the little moments: laughter during meals, deep conversations over coffee, breakthroughs during journaling time, and the simple joy of being surrounded by women who just “get it.”
“There is nothing more powerful than bringing like-minded people together in one room—because when vision, energy, and purpose align, transformation happens.”
