People often ask why I choose to deliver my training through retreats.
It would be easier (logistically, financially, even socially) to do what everyone else does: host a few webinars, teach a course online, keep it neat and convenient.
But this work was never meant to be convenient.
It’s meant to be transformational.
And real change doesn’t happen while you’re half-listening on Zoom
or checking your inbox between sessions.
Transformation happens when we step away from the noise.
When we slow down.
When we get honest—with ourselves, our stories, and how we’re showing up.
You can’t inspire generosity if you’re trying to get your own needs met,
whether that’s approval, control, recognition, or a sense of worth.
You also can’t preach abundance while you’re running on empty.
The truth is, people can feel that.
Even if they don’t know exactly what’s off,
they sense the gap between your words and your energy.
If we don’t face our own stories and emotions, they don’t stay hidden.
They show up in our urgency.
Our need to prove.
Our discomfort with silence.
Sometimes, they show up when the ask feels like a plea—not an invitation.
Yes, I teach new strategies.
Yes, they work.
But we don’t start there.
We start with you.
Not your role.
Not your results.
You.
We begin with who you are
and who you’re becoming.
Because you can’t invite others into generosity
if you’re disconnected from your own source.
That’s what retreats are for.
To help us show up as whole people,
not just professionals.
To make space to hear ourselves again.
To make room for what God might be trying to say
in us,
through us,
and maybe even for us.
Because the only way to make a real shift
is from the inside out.
And that kind of change
comes from doing the real, honest work
most of us are too busy or too tired to face in our everyday lives.
It’s the posture you lead from,
not the pitch you deliver.
And inspiring generosity isn’t just about what we do.
It’s about who we become.
