In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I'm joined once again by Kerry Dobson as we explore what it really looks like to co-create a meaningful group program.

Speaker 1:  hi, friends. welcome back. today, i'm kicking off a little bonus series of short episodes that fit the p of partnership. as always, if you're familiar of the show, you already know that i'm organizing the conversations here around the seven p's of the humane marketing mandala. and if you're new here and don't know what kind of mandala i'm talking about, well, you can download your one page marketing plan with the seven p's of humane marketing that come in the form of a mandala. and you can do that at humane.marketing forward slash one page, the number one, and the word page. and this comes with seven email prompts to really help you reflect around these seven p's for your business. so, again, this conversation really fits the p of partnership. so you've heard carrie dobson before in episode 213. and if you haven't listened to that one yet, i highly recommend it. we talk about meaningful groups and whether having a group program is a good next step for you. you can go to humane.marketing/hm213 if you haven't heard that episode yet. so carrie and i hosted a collab workshop together and really felt a strong synergy forming, so we thought we'd follow that thread, especially when i told carrie i was ready to create a new program based on the selling like we're human book called how to sell in 2026 and beyond. because just as a refresher, carrie is a small group specialist who focuses on creating meaningful group programs. so we decided to partner on this new bro program that i will kick off with a beta group in november. and carrie will actually join the program as a co facilitator and infuse her long experience with making groups impactful and transformational. and so we thought it would be fun to share how we prepare this collaboration and build this program together live here on the podcast for you to take part of the behind the scenes. and, of course, if you're intrigued about selling in 2026 and beyond, it would be amazing to have you in this beta group. i'll be posting these conversations as bonus episodes, so make sure you're subscribed to the show to get notified about the following convos. not all of them will make it to social media. so, uh, it's best to be subscribed so you get notified. and of course, if you have any questions that you would like us to address, you can reach out to either me or carrie directly. so here's the recording of our first conversation. Kerry:  and our goal for this session is just to actually talk about the collaboration as a whole and kind of go through the guiding questions, um, and just kind of explore the collaborative part of it. um, and then we can kind of talk about next steps a little bit more about where we go from here. does that sound good? Sarah:  yeah. sounds great. and i think why not share this as well? i mean Kerry:  totally. right? yeah. no. i it's it's more of, like, how to contextualize it or put it in. so, yeah, it's not a yeah. so we what i did was i shared with you kind of my what i call the five guiding questions for collaboration, which are just starting questions yeah. for people who are looking to collaborate. i created it specifically for people looking to collaborate around groups, but it works for any collaboration. Sarah:  mhmm. Kerry:  so i guess what my first kind of question to you is, as you're coming into this, kind of having considered those questions, how are you feeling? what's going on? where are you at? Sarah:  yeah. i think it's just a nice idea to, you know, to have a conversation about, uh, the collaboration. and and and like we discussed when we talked last time, it's like, how do we make this a win win? that is, like, really important, um, for me so that we're both clear and that this can be very harmonious. you know, like the last thing i think we both want is some kind of injustice that we feel like, oh, this is not so just, you know, making it all clear at the beginning, i think is so key. Kerry:  yeah. yeah. i that that's for me, too, is that idea of when we do anything, we're having thoughts, we're having feelings, and yet we're not always super conscious and super clear at the beginning of a collaboration. because i know for me, i'm i'm a very positive, like, oh, i can see i can see the potential in everything. and going through this helps me to really slow it down a little bit and capture that excitement and capture what's really important to me, but also allow space and time to kind of say, like, what what am i worried about? like, what what is it that's happening that maybe i'm not fully conscious of, but it gives me that opportunity to do it? Sarah:  yes. yeah. very good. Kerry:  um, i have to Sarah:  say mature, you know, it's like, oh, we're like super mature human beings Kerry:  here. totally. and and we're acknowledging that we're human in this. right? and that that as we do this, you know, like, i the the story i make up is, you know, this is your body of work. this is a really important offer that you want to bring to your community, and there's a preciousness around that. and so, you know, inviting someone in both from the creation standpoint, but also a potential opportunity to co lead, you know, there's there's risks with that or there's perceived risks. right? and so, um, just acknowledging that that's part of what happens, i think, is yeah. super important. exactly. mhmm. very cool. so do you wanna go through each of the questions and we can just kind of share our answers? Sarah:  yeah. let's do that. Kerry:  very cool. okay. so the first one is, what is the goal of this collaboration and the experience as a whole? Sarah:  yeah. so what we why this came up is because, uh, i'm, uh, working on a new program called how to sell in 2026 and beyond. and just wanting to take this group experience to an even deeper level. and, you know, yes, enjoying each other's company already through the collab workshop and the the podcast and just realizing we have shared values. there's things that i can learn from you. and, um, so, yeah, that's how we entered this conversation about the the collaboration. and i see what i can win. so, yes, hopefully, an even deeper experience for the the participants, uh, also for myself and just, you know, having someone else co lead. i mean, that's the that's that's fun. i mean, at this stage in life, all i want is to do good work and also have some fun. Kerry:  so, um, yeah. yeah. do good work. have some fun. i like that. i can sign up for that. Sarah:  yeah. and then we also said, well, we want to use that as a case study for you, you know, so there that's the win for you. and and just have you experience that with a group and see how that can lead to an offering for for your own business. what can you learn? what went well? what didn't go well? and then the third thing i think is really that i feel like people come and look to me for new innovative ways of doing business. right? that's kind of the brand that i created, uh, because i keep telling them question all the assumptions, uh, and i tell them we're lacking role models of the new. and so they're looking to me, uh, for being that role model, and so this collaboration feels like walking my talk about the p of partnership and and just say telling them, look. this is what we're doing. we're experimenting because it's never been done before. and so now here here's how it went. Kerry:  yeah. and i love that part. that part of it too is that, you know, we are we are walking into something that we think is a possibility. we see it as, you know, this moment in time is really calling forth that partnership piece and saying we don't have to do all of this alone, and there is a way that we can support each other and, you know, kind of do good things together. and so i, you know, i love the fact there's a part of me that's like, oh, crap. what's this gonna be like? but i love that experimentation part. and to experiment with someone else is also it's just a little safer. right? it's like, okay. you know, two heads are better than one and, you know, the ability to have the conversation as we're going through it. and i'm really looking forward to, you know, the openness that we've created around being able to share what's going on. so i'm really excited to kind of get the feedback from you as well as you're going through things because i know you're super aware of what's going on in your body and your mind and what's calling you forward. and so to get that insight, i'm really excited to kind of see what that is, and i know that there will be learning in that for me as well. great. Sarah:  yeah. Kerry:  um, i also just, um, i love the approach that you have in the book for selling like you're human. so i've i'm i don't know if i'm halfway, but i'm close to halfway through it. and as i was reading it, i was like, oh, this is this is needed right now. right? like this idea of, hey, hold on a second. it was so funny because i've been listening to a podcast on the way home my cameraman rory was. and he was talking about this, like you need to decrease the demand the supply in order to increase the price, like, all this. and then i read your book, and i'm like, no. that's not what we need to do. so it was so confirming for me to be like, yes. this is the you know, sarah's approach to selling like we're human is absolutely something that i believe in. and so to be able to have that be the center of this group is really exciting for me too. Sarah:  i think, yeah, that's a big part of your offering as well to only engage in groups where you can stand behind because otherwise, honestly, i don't think it would work that part of the right? Kerry:  yeah. it it especially the coleading, but even the other part. right? it's there is such a need for alignment because of the preciousness of people's groups and their expertise. so it's like it's a lot harder to to to hold that space with them if i wasn't believing in what they're saying or if it's, like, in direct contrast to, like, my values and that type of stuff. so a big part of my process is really having it clear what what my values are and how i like to work and then making sure that there's a good connection before we really dive into the work. Sarah:  for sure. Kerry:  yeah. very cool. okay. so then the next question is, what are you worried about? Sarah:  yeah. i sat with this question a while. i looked like really thinking, well, what is it that i'm worried about? and, like, i have, you know, i've experienced a lot of partnerships, and, yes, there's a few of them that didn't work out, but that's not what worries me. um, i think the only thing i came up with is is, like, not having enough participants to get a group together. but then i was thinking, well, then we just postpone it. then we do it another time. so, yeah, there's not, like, specific worries that i i feel like, um, you know, this is not gonna she's gonna walk all over me or, like, any any kind of, like, oh, i should be worried about my content. none of that. so right. yeah. awesome. really good. Kerry:  well, that feels good to hear. so that's that's great. the worry about the participants, i think, is always a worry, especially with groups because especially how we design them, you know, you need at least six people to really kind of have that engagement and have that connection. and so i think that's such an important worry. and part of what we'll do, i call it the plan to pivot. and what we do is before we even do prelaunch, we talk about what happens if we don't get the whatever that minimum number is and what is our plan for that so we can be working on that plan as we go. but we also create the plan of what if we get too many people because sometimes that happens too. and so having that plan in place ahead of time makes it so that some of the tension, there's still tension in launch, there always is, but some of that tension, it's like, well, we have a plan for that. we know what we're going to do. and there's some, you know, postponement is part of that, finding other people, you know, all sorts of stuff. so that'll be part of what we do too. um, i so for me, my worry is, you know, because this is still new and untested, then, you know, trying to put it together, i you know, i'm worried i'll they'll be it just won't make sense. like, at some point, we'll look up and be like, what were we you know, what was carrie thinking? and so that's part of it. right? when it's really new and fresh, i have this vision in my head. i have this imagined ideal of what this could be. but, you know, when you start putting it all together, like, maybe maybe it doesn't work. Sarah:  right. yeah. yeah. yeah. but at the same time, i think it depends if we're attached to a certain outcome, then yes, maybe the worry is justified. but if we're looking at it both as a growth experience, then then, yeah, there there is no it didn't work. no. we both learned something, and yes. Kerry:  that is the Sarah:  the outcome. yeah. yeah. Kerry:  yeah. and then the other worry i have is just, you know, you have so much experience leading a group. there's there's this voice in my, you know, the back of my mind being like, am i gonna even be helpful? she has so much experience doing this. and so that's just my own my own stuff coming up, but i just wanna acknowledge that that that that it's there because, you know, part of the work that i do is often with people who have done groups before. i find that people who have done them before kinda have a better understanding and appreciation for my perspective and what i talk about. um, but it's always a little bit there of, like, well, what if this person turns out they knew everything and didn't need me? so just putting that on the table. Sarah:  yeah. it's good to put it on the table. but, um, again, for for me, it's it's a big part of this is is walking my talk around partnership. and just because of that, uh, you know, it's worth doing. and then and then, yes, i think the at at this stage of experience, it's all about the small little adjustments. it's not gonna shift the way i do groups completely, but it's those small little things that are gonna make a huge impact. and that's that's really what i'm excited real about. Kerry:  yeah. and i i just love that you are aware of that. right? like, that that the the enhancements at this point or the up leveling or whatever the language is is they are those small tweaks. and there's these small things that make a huge difference. and so many times, those small differences aren't really recognized by the participants at like, they're not aware of it, and yet it changes their experience. yeah. Sarah:  it's kinda like subconscious. yes. Kerry:  yeah. exactly. yeah. um, so what would you say your strengths in this collaboration are? Sarah:  well, as we just said, i have certain experience with, uh, with groups. i, um, have experience, uh, with the art of hosting. uh, so i really come from a place of holding space more than just teaching. and i think that's a big strength that i have developed over the last, uh, years. so i'm comfortable with uncertainty. i'm comfortable with people's uncertainty. and and that is a big part of being able to hold space for others because i've learned to hold space for myself and then now applied us to to hold space for others. so that's, um, yeah, i think that's one of the strengths that i bring. and then the content, you know, the this idea of selling like we're human. um, i i wrote a book about it. so it's interesting because up till now, i didn't feel like, oh, there's a program in me for this. so so this is a bit new for me, but i i feel very grounded and solid because of the timing. i just feel like now the time is right. and so, yeah, that's another strength that i bring. and then this openness to collaborate. like, i have an undefined ego in in human design, and there's nothing that i feel like i you know, it's like, oh, this is mine and, like, nothing like that. and so it just feels really good to to collaborate. Kerry:  yeah. i love that. i love that so much. um, so for me, what i what i see is the the strength in this collaboration is just the level of expertise that we both bring to it. you know? there's there's so much here that we get to work with, and i'm i'm really excited about it that. and so this my strength in kind of acknowledging and, like, appreciating the expertise that we both have. um, i also think we have a really similar view of business. that's part of what our conversations, whether it was, you know, prerecording or recording or during the live session or before and after it. and so, um, i i love that we have that, you know, similar vision and similar values, and we also are really noticing that this is the time for it, as you said. like, there's something about the timing both of, like, this collaboration, but also this work and kind of doing it. and so being aware of that, um, and then obviously kind of that, the expertise that i bring around the small intimate groups, i think, is is something that's a little different that, you know, not tons of people are talking about, and yet that's where i really think the power of connection and the power of results really blossoms. and so that's that's part of what i'm bringing to the collaboration too. Sarah:  yeah. exciting. yeah. Kerry:  um, and then the next question is just, what are the obstacles you can foresee? Sarah:  i don't see any obstacles. i if there's obstacles, we'll find ways. uh, yeah. so i don't not yeah. Kerry:  yeah. the obstacles. the only obstacle that i kind of am just aware of is, like, a timing standpoint. like, are do we have enough time? which i i think we do, but that's always kind of a a piece of it. and then making sure that it doesn't take me too long to catch up on your area of expertise and how you like to run groups. i've been part of a couple of your things and reading the book, and so i'm just aware of, like, okay. i'm not worried about it. it's just that's i i'm coming into this not having spent, like, a year in your programs and knowing kinda how you do things. Sarah:  right. yeah. yeah. i can i can understand that? Kerry:  yeah. thank you. and then what was it that was appealing about this particular collaboration? we've kind of, you know, said some of that stuff too, but is there anything else that you wanna Sarah:  i think what we're doing right now is is, like, actually building it live. and so then sharing the process of this collaboration, uh, you know, on our podcasts and with vulnerability and also sharing if, you know, if then things didn't work out and we didn't, we have to postpone or whatever whatever it was. so so not just leading up to it, but then also maybe after, do a recap of what went well and and and what you're now going to do, uh, you know, with that. is it gonna lead to an offer? so so, yeah, that that is exciting. and then again, uh, we said this before, but this idea of creating different ways of of being in business and and and seeing. yeah. how, of course, right now we have this agreement that there's, you know, we are just experimenting. so maybe we can also just share with transparency that there's no money involved in this collaboration. yeah. but in the end, that is the goal. right? still to somehow get paid. and so whether that develops into a paid partnership between the two of us, uh, or if it's just something that you will then use in in your business, um, yeah, we we can continue to share how how that evolves as well. Kerry:  yeah. i love that part of it. it's like not just like the the the build up towards it, but kind of continually sharing as the process goes and as, you know, the launch happens and all that type of stuff about it. um, i i'm really excited too or the most appealing part is, um, you know, i really value your expertise and your perspective on business and selling and humane marketing, and i think it's so needed in this world right now. i know even just as a, like, a customer, like, i i'm so much more sensitive to, you know, what people are saying and how they're saying it and, you know, all that kind of stuff. so the more people in the world that have this more humane approach to it, i i find really appealing. and so to be able to play, you know, one part one tiny part of kind of having more people out there operating that way is really appealing to me. and then i also you know, we've we've talked about this too. like, there's something longer term that i feel like with you and i where there is this potential for other opportunities, other ways of supporting each other, whether that's, you know, in collaborations like this or or also just, like, being fans for each other and, like, you know, telling others about there's something about the longer term part of this that that i find really appealing to. Sarah:  yeah. exactly. to to to develop on on that. and and i think it's this human element that we so often still you know, yes, we're all busy, but that's to me, it's always an excuse. so when i do say, you know, let's partner and let's do a collab workshop, i really mean the collaboration part. right? and i think you're one of the yeah. there's about a handful of people who who really understand that part. and for others, it's still kind of like, can i get some visibility out of this yeah? Kerry:  piece? so Sarah:  yeah. Kerry:  yeah. right? and and the the invitation to collaboration doesn't always get met with collaboration. and that that's sometimes like, that's what we learn too. right? and so when you find people who are truly interested in collaboration, it's so nice because it really can be the win win win of, like, real longer term partnerships and collaborations. so, yeah, i love that part too. yay. so with all that said, um, i'm curious about kind of what what's outstanding for you? is there anything that you're kinda like, okay. i still this i still don't know or i'm holding space for the fact that we're trying to figure it out. but is there anything left unanswered or untalked about at this point for you? Sarah:  i guess i can't picture it yet. um, i mean, you when you mentioned the the co hosting, you were kind of like, well, if there's breakout rooms, you know, there's gonna be a chance for me to be in another breakout room. yeah. i'm i'm just kinda, like, wondering, well, what happens during the time that i'm actually delivering content? what's not kind of what what what i know a little bit is during, for example, our colab workshop that we did. right? um, you were on that end. you were the expert, uh, uh, you know, teaching in quotation marks. and the way i have these collab workshops is, like, yes, you are the expert, but i can then come in with questions or lived experience. and so maybe the way i kinda see it is that you're gonna play that role. and because sometimes we have groups where the people are, i don't know, too shy or or not confident enough, and they're not actually asking the questions that kind of flowed around in the room, but nobody just dares to speak up. so i would love for you to play that role. right? um, so that's one way i could see it. Kerry:  totally. so i think i think you've hit it completely like the nail on the head there. in terms of, um, i i read it once as an article where it's like the yoda role. so it's like that permission to kind of say the things that you're you you sense that are out there and happening and people are thinking, but they haven't quite either because, you know, it's new or it's like, oh, uncomfortable. so there's that part about it. where where i see it is kind of like um, as as you demonstrated, but it's like, oh, i'm there kind of representing the group essence sometimes where it's like, oh, that that didn't land or, like, that instruction didn't you know, there was questions about that or could you say that another way or that kind of thing. so it it's it's almost like i'm there as the representation of the essence of the group while you're sharing. and then, you know, there'll be other times where, you know, it might be that, hey, i'm leading them through because it's more of a reflection opportunity or celebration. and then you take on that role of you get to kind of represent the essence of the group. so there's a flow to it, and there's like a back and forth. and it it's really it's a different idea. so part of it is about really how do we, you know, share this at the beginning so people understand, well, who's this other person in the room and and why do we care? right? and so, you know, people because sometimes they're familiar with more of what i would call a producer role where it's the person who's checking in on the chat and making sure the technical stuff is there, which don't want that. no. right? like, it's like so people people are kind of you not even used to. they've seen that sometimes. and so it would just be about us kind of setting the stage in that first session in particular of, hey. this is, you know, this is carrie. this is why she's here. this is what we've done. you know? i think this helps us because people will hear it ahead of time and will be part of what people might have, you know, seen before they said yes to being part of the group. sure. but it really is just setting that context and just recognizing, like, okay. that's that's the role that i have in the room for most of it. Sarah:  yeah. it's great. Kerry:  very cool. okay. so in terms of kind of the process from here, the idea is is we're just gonna work through kind of the the typical steps that i take clients through when we're putting a group together, um, especially when it comes to a book. i i love doing groups that they're not the they're not the group they're not the book in group form. right? it's not that you take everything from the book and put it into a group. it's that you the group is like the the book is the foundation of the group, and it's you know, i've had everywhere from an author who we took one one slice of a book and made a whole group and certification from it. and then for others, it's it's a bit more of the group. right? and so what we'll be doing is going through the process of kind of saying, okay. what is this group about? and we start with, it's the vip process, but it's, you know, the vibe promise. what is the environment that we're promising we're gonna create? who's that ideal participant? who is this really for? and then what is the program promise? so what are they what are we promising they will accomplish and or experience in our time together? and so that's really where we start because once you have that vip, all your other decisions are super easy or they're at least impacted by the vip. so how long should the program be? what kind of activities should we include? you know, all that. the vip really helps us to inform the decisions we make around that. so the first session we do, that's where we'll start is is the vip process, and i always love to start that with a visualization. so, um, what i will do normally, i would give you that visualization, and i'll give it to you so you have it. but i think we do it live. i think we record it and just kinda see what happens. sounds very cool. yeah. Sarah:  yeah. for sure. Kerry:  awesome. well, i think that's it for this collaboration piece where we're we're figuring it out in the next steps, and we'll catch you next time as we jump into the vip part of the group design. Sarah:  very good. see you next time. Speaker 2:  thanks for listening. i hope you found this interesting. and, uh, yeah. i gave you a little sneak peek behind the scenes of how we're setting up this completely radically new different, uh, way of collaborating. and, um, we'll post again when we have another conversation. speak soon. be the change. don't forget.

In this heartfelt and empowering episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, host Shannon Jamail sits down with Kelley Hartman to explore the transformative power of joy in retreat leadership. Kelley shares how a life-changing diversity retreat in her twenties sparked her passion for holding space and eventually led her to create her own retreats focused on joy, self-care, and aligned leadership. Together, Shannon and Kelley dive deep into why joy is not just a nice-to-have, but a non-negotiable for any retreat leader who wants to avoid burnout and truly support others. They get candid about energy management, setting boundaries, and honoring your nervous system—especially when life throws challenges your way. Whether you're a seasoned retreat host or dreaming of starting your first one, this episode reminds you that when you prioritize your own joy and well-being, you elevate the experience for everyone you serve.   Offerings from Kelley: Free 4 Step Outline to reset into joy: https://kelley-hartman.mykajabi.com/wildhartscollectivejoyresetsignup    Connect with Kelley: https://wildhartscollective.com/   The Retreat Leaders Podcast Resources and Links: Learn to Host Retreats Join our private Facebook Group Top 5 Marketing Tools Free Guide Free Top 11 Tips for Building an Email List  Get your legal docs for retreats   Thanks for tuning into the Retreat Leaders Podcast.

Where we spill the tea on retreat. Success. Here we dive into crafting transformational guest experiences. Talk about how to avoid pitfalls and unlock marketing secrets. Whether you're a seasoned guru or a budding enthusiast, we've got the inside scoop for you. Join us as we learn how to flourish in this magical world of retreats. Hey guys, welcome to or welcome back to the Retreat Leader's podcast. It's Shannon and today I have such a special guest, although I have to preface it by saying this is not as fun as France because my guest is someone that I met while I was in France, and we were just saying right before we recorded that it was such a magical group and I missed that energy so, so very much. But I'm really excited to see you today. Kelly, welcome to the show. Speaker 2 00:00:54  Thank you. Very excited to be here. Speaker 1 00:00:58  Yes. So Kelly Hartmann and I are going to talk about something that probably seems a little bit like. Speaker 1 00:01:04  Wait a minute, Shannon, why are you talking about this? But I actually feel like it's super, super important for us as retreat leaders and what we do and how we serve. And it's just a very, very important aspect of our leadership. But before we dig into the topic, Kelly, just tell us about who you are and what brought you to where you are today. Speaker 2 00:01:22  Great. Yeah. So I'm Kelly Hartman and I own Wild Hearts Collective, and I am a retreat leader. So the journey there is a little bit of a long one. I went to my first retreat in my 20s, and what really sparked my lifelong desire to host retreats was the amount of transformation that happens when you're on retreat. I met people there that I still connect with today, and that's 25 years later. and basically just learning the personal lived journeys needs of everyone there is what was life changing for me. It was a diversity retreat and it was getting that individual perspective. So when I hit 45, I said, I'm going to do what I wanted to do my whole life. Speaker 2 00:02:11  I'm going to host retreats. And I was also in corporate. I already host leadership trainings. I created Elevate Her, I host the global mentorship program and did a lot of trainings and learning and development for corporate women. So I'm taking that out of practice and doing it and hosting retreats of my dreams. So that is why I started. Speaker 1 00:02:36  Yay! You know what I love about this is that over 20 years ago, you had the spark and you're bringing it to fruition. And I think sometimes people, whether you're 40, 50, 60, 70, it doesn't even matter whatever your age is. But women, especially whatever that number is, that age in our head and we're like, yeah, I'm too old to do this now, you know? And I just, I call bullshit on that because there isn't an age that's too old. There just isn't. Okay. There isn't. And so, Kelly, I'm so, so glad that you were following your dreams now. And you're hosting these retreats because. Speaker 1 00:03:16  Yeah, I met Kelly in France, as I mentioned, and her energy is yummy. Like, I just cannot even put it into proper words. And so spending time with her on retreat, I'm sure, would be a joy, which is exactly what we're going to talk about today, because Kelly and I in France, we were talking about some of the things that might be missing from a retreat leader's life, as far as you know, being the best version of them. And one of those things is focusing on joy. So, Kelly, can you just kind of talk to us a little bit more about this? Speaker 2 00:03:50  Oh for sure. So as a retreat leader, you are facilitating the transformation of others on your retreat. And when you're doing that, that is having a requirement for you to hold space. And a lot of times, especially right now. Everything is so the world is messy and it's heavy. And every five seconds there's breaking news about something. And what that does is that triggers our nervous system to go into fight or flight. Speaker 2 00:04:22  And it makes all of this anxiety and worry and fear come into our energetic field and build up in us. And when we have all this heaviness and fear and anxiety and we dysregulated our nervous system, that is what causes us to basically not be able to hold that space. As retreat leaders, we need to know how to step out of the grind, to step out of burnout to start with self-care so that we when we show up on retreat, we are the best version of ourselves. And that's when we talk about anchoring into joy. Because what is joy and what is required for you to actually experience joy? You have to feel safe, right? You have to feel your nervous system has to feel good for you to even get to experience joy. And once you get there, that is when expansiveness comes. That is when you're in flow. That is when you can give and pour into other people's cups. Speaker 1 00:05:37  Hey, retreat leaders, pause that retreat planning for just a second because I've got something you do not want to miss. Speaker 1 00:05:42  I'm headed to London this October to host a live event that's all about teaching you how to host a retreat that's not just transformational, but actually profitable. Imagine sipping tea or champagne with other like minded leaders while mapping out your next sold out retreat. It's happening at the gorgeous Waldorf Hilton in London. I'm spilling all the secrets from pricing to planning, marketing to mindset, and you'll walk away with a strategy you can actually use. No fluff, no BS, just results. So head to Retreat mastermind and come join me across the pond. Okay, I love this on so many levels. You are right, the world is messy. That's a really good way of putting it. I think the world's always messy, but it just feels extra loud. You know, at the moment. we've definitely in our lifetime, Kelly, we have seen some extra loud moments. probably. Maybe. You know, I'm sure more than previous decades. Only in the sense even that it's just so damn accessible. Too accessible in some ways. Speaker 1 00:06:43  Yeah. But yes, that and also I want to piggyback on this because as Kelly knows, this last month has been really very difficult for me. I've had some losses and and when we're in those spaces, whether it's heaviness from the world and our nervous system is disruptive or very personalized heaviness and we're disrupted. I think it's important that we remember that's not the time to create when we're in that space, when we're in that space of full disruption, full nervous system panic, whatever you want to call it. That's not the time to reach out. That's as far as reaching out to your, marketing efforts or your creation efforts or whatever may be the case. Maybe that's when you rely on a team member and you're like, hey, I need you to step up for me, or you hire it out for that moment, or you just take a break. But it's like, we need to honor that. There are times in life we're going to push, right? We're going to push through things. Speaker 1 00:07:38  You know, you stub your toe, push through it, whatever. But there are also times when your nervous system is telling you, okay, we we can't we can't go on. You know what I'm saying? Speaker 2 00:07:48  Yes. And it's so important that we learn to honor that in ourselves, because we have to learn how that we can honor that in our participants and see that and help them through that. In a lot of times, especially in the world right now, it's the hustle bustle. We got to go. We're we're women entrepreneurs, right? So we have a lot of big goals, a lot of big dreams. And I know that we hustle a lot. We're always kind of like, I gotta get this done and do that. And we don't take or make the space always to breathe, to anchor in, to return to our body out of our mind. And that causes those cortisol levels to rise, the anxiety, the panic. And it takes a toll on your physical and mental health and is so important for us to listen to our body, to rest like you said, to take a break and rest and recalibrate Because we're able to come back stronger than before. Speaker 2 00:08:48  It's so important. Speaker 1 00:08:51  Yeah. This is such a good reminder to me sometimes I forget. And I think many of our listeners forget that it doesn't always have to be pushed through it. It reminds me when I used to have my private practice for mental health. If I sat with a particularly heavy session with a client, I had to work really hard to reset myself so I didn't take it into the next session. It wouldn't be fair to that next patient for me to bring the previous patient's heaviness to them, right? And it's the same aspect here, Kelly, especially for those of us who are holding space. I'm just going to say it. You really should not be bringing your heaviness into the space that other people are trying to share their heaviness. It's just not appropriate. I know people are listening, are going to disagree with me. They're going to think, well, that's a safe space for everybody to do it. You know what? Yes, but not for the leader. The leader has to do their own processing, their own leaning in, their own resetting. Speaker 1 00:09:44  Separate. It really is. That is not the time and space for you to bring your heaviness in. It really alludes the whole point of a retreat for the guests that are paying to participate with you as a leader. It's okay to say, hey, I'm experiencing heaviness today. We're going to start our workshop a little bit later and then you do your thing. I'm not saying that you're going to show up and pretend like everything's okay. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is, you're not bringing your shit into the same space that everybody else is trying to hold their heaviness or share their stuff, and, and I just I'm super passionate about that. And this is a really good reminder for myself as well. Speaker 2 00:10:23  100%. And that's and this is what I definitely want to talk about that this is not toxic positivity. This is not you should be enjoy every single day. And if you're not, enjoy it because that's bullshit. That is total bullshit. What this is, is that this is a reminder that we have tools and that to use those tools to really listen to your body and recalibrate your energy. Speaker 2 00:10:46  You own your experience on this planet, and when you choose to be a retreat leader, you're choosing to guide others and help them in their experience. And it's absolutely correct. You need to go in able to facilitate transformation. If you're in your own shit, you can't facilitate that transformation. You just you have to deal with that first. And having those tools to reset into joy, into calibrate to that is huge. It allows you to be expansive. It allows you to hold energy and space for others and allow them on their journey for transformation. Speaker 1 00:11:23  Yes. Thank you for this topic. I think it's so very important, and it's just one of those things that's often overlooked. as I shared, things have been really heavy with me, and one of the decisions that I made this August, I was having my retreat leader mastermind, and I'm actually Rescheduling it because it's just not the right time for me to hold space for others because I'm bringing my shit with me. And so I'm super transparent about that and making sure that, you know, I'm making decisions that are sound for my body and safe for me, but also for my guests. Speaker 1 00:11:58  I am still having my alumni retreat. for those that don't know what that is, is every other year, sometimes three years, but usually every other year, I host a retreat that's just for alumni. That means they've been on my retreat before. They know exactly who I am and what's going on. And I had a real heart to heart with myself and the group, and they are well aware of what I'm going through. And this is just a party. It's just a gathering. There's no transformation, there's no promise. There's no holding space necessarily. We're just coming together to celebrate. And we're all very excited about it. And I'm actually excited about it. My alumni retreat, because I just I feel safe with them just as much as they feel safe with me. And it's, you know, there's there's just a really good, And, it's just a really good vibe with this group and it's just going to be so fun. But I've really honored. The thing that I've put forth that I'm saying is I'm not creating anything in this time. Speaker 1 00:12:48  In this time. This time of my own heaviness. It's not fair to the people who might be receiving receiving it, but also they're not going to receive the, the, the my true heart right now. They're going to receive my broken heart or my grief heart or my guilt heart or whatever it is that I'm feeling inside. That's what they're going to receive. And that's not that's not representative who who I am. And so whether it's big like the world or like loss or anything like that, or whether it's just you struggle with sadness sometimes or you struggle with whatever, you know, or you've got, you know, difficulties in an important relationship, whatever that that is, you've got to lean into that and not bring it with you into your transformative spaces. And I think you, you know, you, Kelly especially, you offer tools and thoughts on how you can maybe tune out of that darkness. Speaker 2 00:13:42  Yes. Yeah, because we do have those. And first I want to say, thank you for sharing that and being vulnerable because you're setting an example and telling people that it's okay to pivot. Speaker 2 00:13:55  you know, when I work with women, both inside and outside of corporate, there's a lot of fear about, perception or quote unquote feeling, which is such bullshit. Sorry. But in that if we don't do things the way that we thought, if we don't, if we pivot, that's a failure. But you are actually doing something amazing for both you and the attendees and doing it in a space that will be transformative for them and bringing your best self when you can. So that's that's setting a huge example for everyone. And that's just amazing. So thank you for sharing that. Speaker 1 00:14:34  Hey, it's Shannon here. I'm just popping in really quickly to ask a big favor. Would you pause the show and go review it for us, please? Reviews really help us to be able to get more guests and more experts on the show to help you transform your retreats. So if you wouldn't mind pausing and leaving us a review, that would mean everything. And if you're not already subscribed, do that too. Speaker 1 00:14:56  Yeah. No, absolutely I, I really I. My, my motto is to try to walk the talk. And so what I teach I really I really do want to walk and I it was a really hard message to send to the attendees for August. and it was really it's been really hard, even for those that keep inquiring about it. but also feels right. It's hard, you know, the hard that feels right. That's what this is. This is the hard that feels right. And so I want my thing was, especially I had this conversation with an attendee who was really disappointed. But my thing was I want to show up and give my best self. I don't want to bring this and set it on your plate. or or do a half ass, you know, retreat for you. That's just not okay. And so anyway, so yeah, I feel really good about it. As hard as it is, I don't feel good about it. I feel good that the decision was the right decision to make. Speaker 1 00:15:52  just like I feel good that spending time with my retreat alumni who are coming tomorrow and I can't wait to see them. feels also very good, because I know that that's not going to require me holding space necessarily. My team can do it if that needs to be happening, but most my alumni retreats, I'm just going to be honest. It's just a party. It's a girl party. Speaker 2 00:16:11  That's awesome. So, so. And that is what we talk about a lot right now. And what I do is I gather the women we're gathering, the women gathering women in circles is so important and amazing. and just that space. But again, it's that that awesome and just radical honesty that you have, that this is what this experience is. It's not a retreat. It's a party. And that is. Yeah, that's exactly what will be expected of attendees. And they're excited to see you. They've already been through that transformation with you. And they they understand. So that is totally amazing. Speaker 1 00:16:48  Yes. Speaker 1 00:16:49  Yeah it really is. And plus the outpouring of love from them has been just beautiful. So, well Kelly, tell us, like if somebody wants to spend more time with you because I think that they would benefit from it greatly. Tell me some of the offerings that you currently have. Speaker 2 00:17:03  Sure. So I am hosting a retreat in September called Joy as Revolution and we are taking, this experience is amazing because it's allowing people to experience joy in different ways. So joy isn't always this exciting, passionate, like, oh, I'm in joy. I take everyone through the four elements. so how do you feel in Earth as you're experiencing joy. And that's a grounded joy of feeling stable or air. How does air feel? That's going to be light and that's doing breathwork and feeling alive. Or if you look at fire, fire is that passion. That's the creativity. So that's doing art, that's dancing, that's, you know, yelling at the moon, that fiery. And then last is water. Speaker 2 00:17:52  And that's when you're in flow and you let go of the things that we hold so deep. So the transformation that's coming there and what I specialize in, and that's with all of my offerings, is getting you out of your head and into your body. Your body knows. And you talked about that you felt into your decisions about both retreats. Your intuition told you what was right and you listened. And what I see so much in women is we ignore intuition because societal expectations tell us No. You should push through this. You should act a certain way. We have these expectations of how you show up and how you act. So I specialize in getting women to get into their bodies so they can transform and listen and learn and feel. And then they trust their intuition. And that is when the magic happens. Speaker 1 00:18:50  Oh, yes. Thank you. And may I have another I love this so much. And I will have Kelly's website linked in the show notes. So that way you can go check out her offerings. Speaker 1 00:19:00  And I think you even have a free gift for our listeners. Do you want to tell us a little bit about the free gift? Speaker 2 00:19:05  Yeah, it's my four tips to a joy reset. So it's exactly that. It's just an easy little thing that you can do really quickly. It has, some reprogramming and I'm certified. So it just is something that helps you get out of the loops that we have, those thought loops or anxiety or fear and gets you into your body so you can anchor into joy and you can visualize your best self and live as that self. And it's under five minutes. So really easy little quick thing. Speaker 1 00:19:34  Yay. Well that will also be linked in the show notes. So Kelly, thank you so much for coming on the show and just reminding us of what we need to be really focusing on as effective leaders in our industry, rather than just the metrics or social media or the right offering or the right workshop or all of these things that we think are super important and they are important to a certain degree. Speaker 1 00:19:58  But really, it all starts with our inner joy. So thank you so much, Kelly, for being on the show. Speaker 2 00:20:05  Oh, thank you so much, Shannon. I greatly appreciate it. Speaker 1 00:20:08  Thanks for listening to the Retreat Leaders podcast. Learn more at the Retreat. Com. See you next time.
