But something that's easy to overlook this time of year is your relationship, whether that be with a boyfriend, fiancé, husband, or otherwise. Quarterly couples retreats have transformed mine and my husband Dan's relationship, as you'll hear in today's episode. It's about reigniting the spark, setting mutual goals, and embracing the power of tranquility while stepping away from technology. In this episode, you will learn about: Why scheduling quarterly couples retreats is important for relationship growth. How disconnecting from technology during retreats strengthens the focus on each other. The significance of planning for the future together during end-of-year retreats. Choosing an inspiring location. What it's like to engage in joint physical activities during the retreat. The benefits of mental peace during retreats by disconnecting from social media. The use of a "work back" schedule to break down goals into manageable chunks. The necessity of adjusting or abandoning goals that don't align with the shared vision. The benefits that I've personally gained from going on retreats. Why embracing boredom during retreats can foster creativity and strengthen bonds. How participating in activities such as exploring new cities can enhance the retreat experience. Why it's so useful to create a vision board. Why flexibility is key in achieving the annual goals set during retreats. A personal example of abandoning a goal that was not in alignment with mine and Dan's vision.

Hey you wild women! We're back with a solo episode to talk about all the reasons why founders and small business owners avoid public relations (PR). When you're trying to establish authority in your space, it's easy to get burnt out by doing the same thing over and over again without seeing results. But when it comes to PR, consistency is your currency. The people who get the opportunities they want are the people who continually show up. Let's talk about why it feels overwhelming—and how to beat that overwhelm and be successful with your PR. In this episode, you will learn about: What makes PR unique as a business strategy. Where you can find a done-for-you PR strategy. Why you might consider hiring a publicist, and what you can do instead. How much time it really takes to create momentum with your PR strategy. Why trusting the process is an important part of finding the right opportunities. The minimum cadence you should aim for with your strategy and why. The degree of expertise you need for your pitch to be successful. Why connecting with media contacts matters and how to do it. Tools you can use to help you with the creative process for PR reach outs. Understanding crisis management and when it comes in handy. How to know if your strategy has been successful or not. Why content creation isn't just crucial to PR, it is PR. The value in staying up to date with trends, even on TikTok. How to get ahead of the competition and start seeing media wins. Where you can find more support in achieving a successful PR strategy. ______________ Got a minute? I would love a review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap, and give me five stars.

Hey you wild women! Fear is a natural part of life. Whether that little voice inside our head whispers, "what if you fail" or "you're not good enough", fear can often hold us back from pursuing the things we want most.

For me, the biggest growth opportunities have always come from the moments that I almost backed out. Today, we're talking the keys to building resilience and learning how to embrace our fears — because on the other side, there's something incredible waiting for you. In this episode, you will learn about: Understanding fear as a catalyst for growth How to shift your mindset and turn fear into opportunities Learning from past experiences to overcome fear Tips for cultivating self-confidence Saying YES and taking the leap Embracing failure as a stepping stone Mentions: Renée's Planner: Morning Practice Planner VIP Day ______________ Got a minute?
