You’re outwardly capable but inwardly overwhelmed.You’re emotionally exhausted, over-functioning in every area of your life, and relying on just-one-more-glass-of-wine or the next getaway to numb the noise. You don’t need more mindfulness tips.You need a space to unravel—and remember who you are underneath the pressure. This isn’t about “just doing the work” It’s about releasing what no longer fits and making space for the life you actually want.

You’ll be led through the exact modalities that helped Laurie break cycles of burnout, emotional suppression, and self-abandonment. But there’s no expectation to share or show up in a certain way. You’re in control of your own depth. You can stay quiet, go inward, or fully participate—whatever feels safest for you. Every emotion is welcome here. Whether you’re carrying grief, anger, confusion, or nothing you can quite name, you won’t be asked to make it make sense. This space is built to hold the parts of you you usually hide—the ones that are tired of being managed. If you’re done living for everyone but yourself, and you’re ready to reconnect with your own truth—this day is for you. Register Now Frequently Asked Questions I’m not good at resting, is this for me? This is made for you! High-functioning women often struggle to receive support because they learned to associate safety with self-reliance. Asking for help can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or even threatening to their sense of stability. Even when support is offered, the body may not know how to relax into it. This is what I will teach you and guide you to understand on retreat! I’m thinking about coming alone…is this ok? Absolutely! YES YES YES! Going to a retreat alone can be extremely powerful and transformative. Common feedback we also receive is the welcoming, safe and connected vibe we create and the relationships you create on retreats sometimes turn in to lifelong friends. I’m not too experienced in meditation, breathwork, yoga or mediumship…is this ok? Another big YES! We welcome women of all levels and complete beginners too! Retreats are a great place to learn or to solidify established practices and routines. Is there a what-to-bring list? Yes, a retreat information email with all this information will be sent out closer to the retreat date. What if I have dietary restrictions? We are able to accommodate dietary restrictions. Please send an email to laurieoakes111@gmail.com to make arrangements. Is being the strong one a trauma response? Being the strong one is often a nervous system adaptation rather than a personality trait. It can develop in response to environments where emotional needs were minimized, where others relied on you too soon, or where vulnerability didn’t feel safe. This does not mean something is wrong
