~The problem is not burnout~
The problem is thought overload.
When women carry too many responsibilities for too long, they don't necessarily break down.
They shut down.
And shutdown looks like:
-
Avoidance
-
Indecision
-
Numbness
-
Distraction
-
Withdrawal
-
Snapping at people
-
Working on low-priority tasks
-
Feeling busy but making little progress
OFF DUTY VIP luxury leadership retreat for women who are tired and are living in reaction mode.
It is a place where women step away from the constant demands of work, family, caregiving, and leadership.
Not because they need a vacation.
Because they've spent so much time on everyone else's problems that they've stopped making time for themselves.
This is the place you can go where no one needs you.
A place to think (or not think) , make decisions on your time, and focus on what you need for you before another year slips by.
~What Awaits You~
A plan That Doesn't End In at the destination
You spend so much of your life helping everyone else solve problems.
This is your opportunity to focus on you.
Together we'll work through the challenges, decisions, and priorities you've been too busy to address while creating a plan for what's next.
And when you return home, you're not on your own.
OFF DUTY is a plan and it includes continued support, accountability, and a community of women who understand exactly what it's like to carry a lot. It will not just go back to the way it was when the shine of the retreat wears off.
~Immersive Experiences~
Think slow mornings, jungle cenotes, rooftop healing, local food, bike rides through Tulum, fireside conversations, music, dancing, and enough open space to actually enjoy it.
You’ll float in freshwater lagoons (Cenotes) hidden in the jungle, swim under waterfalls, shop local streets, drink coconut water straight from the shell, eat homemade food, and spend time with new friends walking along the beach.
There is a schedule, but it will not feel like a conference or another packed itinerary.
You will have time to rest, laugh, explore, sit in the plunge pool, wander, talk, dance, and remember what it feels like to have a day that belongs to you.
Collaboration & Perspective

OFF DUTY brings together coaching, conversation, and practical leadership insights designed for women carrying a lot of responsibility. Special guests may be in attendance.

This Work Didn’t Come From Theory
Let me be real with you.
I was never brought into this world to be normal, quiet, or play small—and deep down, I bet you weren't either.
I grew up in a foster home—not as a foster child, but as the kid whose parents were foster parents. Our house was full of energy, chaos, and connection. For 17 years, I was part of a blended, multicultural, beautifully complicated family. We weren't picture-perfect, but we were real. And real has power.
I'll be honest: I was that kid with attitude, jealousy, and a fire I didn't know how to use yet. But that fire turned into purpose. I saw firsthand what it looks like when people are discarded by the system. I watched my foster siblings get told they'd never amount to anything. I saw the pain. And I also saw what happened when someone—anyone—believed in them.
My dad taught me that who you are doesn't depend on your past, your skin, your status, or your scars. He believed every person mattered. In a world that saw us as a mess of colors, we saw ourselves as a prism—one strong, unbreakable light.
That belief shaped everything that came next.
I Built a Career I Loved.
In 2001, I became my grandfather's caregiver. For four years, I learned what it meant to show up for someone you love—even when it's hard, even when you're exhausted, even when no one sees the weight you're carrying.
After he passed in 2005, I channeled that experience into a career helping other families navigate the same journey. I earned a Master's degree in Healthcare Marketing, Business Administration, Communication, and Project Management. I became a Senior Living Marketing and Admissions Director.
Testimonials
Stories of Transformation
I came running on empty. I left with a plan for my life that didn't revolve around taking care of everyone else first. Getting up in the morning and having my coffee in silence was pure bliss.
I didn't realize how much of myself I'd given away to work, family, and everyone else. This helped me remember who was and am, when I'm not taking care of everyone else. Jumping into the Cenote was like being a teenagaer again. It was fun and freeing!
For 5 days, I stopped managing everyone else's needs. I finally paid attention to my own. I left feeling like myself again. The private massage when I got there was amazing and started things off right.

Are these retreats for you?
Is This You?
☐ Everyone comes to you for answers, but you rarely have time to focus on your own questions.
☐ Your days are filled with meetings, responsibilities, decisions, and obligations, yet the things that matter most to you keep getting pushed aside.
☐ You have important decisions to make, but haven't had the uninterrupted time to think them through.
☐ You find yourself handling urgent tasks all day while avoiding the things that would actually move your life forward.
☐ You are constantly needed by your team, your family, your clients, or your community.
☐ You can't remember the last time you had a day that truly belonged to you.
☐ You have goals, ideas, and priorities of your own, but everyone else's needs seem to come first.
☐ You've been telling yourself you'll focus on yourself "when things slow down."
☐ You feel stuck between where you are and where you want to be.
☐ You know something needs to change, but you haven't had the time or space to figure out what that change should be.
☐ You've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've stopped making yourself a priority.
If you're nodding your head right now, you're exactly who OFF DUTY was created for.
You don't need another conference another leadership book, or another vacation.
You need uninterrupted time to focus on yourself.
To think.
To make decisions.
To work on the parts of their life that keep getting pushed aside while they're busy taking care of everyone else.
OFF DUTY is not just one place, it's where you can go where no one needs you.
A place to step out of reaction mode, focus on your own priorities, and leave with a clearer direction, renewed momentum, and a plan for what's next.
And when you return home, you won't be doing it alone.
You'll have a community of women who understand exactly what it's like to carry a lot—and who will continue walking alongside you long after you unpack your suitcase.
Leadership Coaching = Stop Drop & Roll
Most women don't come to me because they have a leadership problem.
They come to me because they're constantly putting out fires and working inside the chaos of life.
Lot's of responsibilities.
Always making decisions.
Many competing priorities.
So many people needing something from them.
They find themselves reacting instead of actually doing what they need.
That's where Stop. Drop. & Roll comes in.
STOP – Identify what's creating the pressure, consuming your time, or keeping you stuck.
DROP – Determine what is actually yours to deal with, what needs to be delegated, and what is not working.
ROLL – Create a practical path forward with accountability, support, and action.
My coaching helps women work through the challenges, decisions, and priorities they've been too busy to address while taking care of everyone else.
It's not about motivation.
It's about making progress.
And it doesn't end with the retreat.
OFF DUTY is a model that provides ongoing coaching, accountability, and a community of women committed to helping each other.
