In this episode, Melissa Wesner, LCPC, founder of LifeSpring Counseling Services and host of the "Dreaming and Doing" podcast, and I dive into the transformative power of retreats, cultural immersion, and self-care in business strategy. We discuss how stepping out of comfort zones, embracing new cultures, and integrating well-being into our professional lives can create lasting, positive change.

The Power of Relationships: Retreats and workshops go beyond just delivering content. The deep connections and lifelong friendships built in these events are transformative and impactful.
