ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when women finally give themselves permission to step away from the responsibilities, routines and expectations of everyday life, and put themselves first?
After hosting women's Pilates and wellness retreats, I've had the privilege of watching women arrive feeling nervous, unsure and sometimes even guilty about taking time for themselves.
And then I've watched what happens next.
They slow down.
They connect.
They laugh.
They try new things.
They rediscover parts of themselves that may have been buried underneath years of work, family, responsibilities and looking after everyone else.
In this episode of the Mind Movement Health Podcast, Kate Boyle shares what she's learned from watching women finally create space for themselves, and why taking time away can be so much more powerful than simply having a holiday.
We explore the importance of self-care, female friendships, connection, travel, adventure and personal growth, as well as why so many women struggle to give themselves permission to prioritise their own needs.
If you've ever thought, “I'd love to do something like that, but…”, this episode might be exactly what you need to hear.
🌿 Retreat Invitation...
If this episode resonates, this is exactly why I host immersive women’s health retreats focused on movement, nervous system healing, connection and restoration.
My next international retreat, Pilates by the Mekong in Vietnam this October, is designed for midlife women who want to reduce stress, improve digestion, balance hormones and reconnect with themselves through Pilates, strength training, whole-food nutrition and daily regulation practices.
