THE INSPIRATION & MOTIVATION YOU NEED TO TURN OFF AUTO-PILOT & LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH PURPOSE.
There’s a saying by Robert Byrne that goes something like this:
“The purpose of life is a life of purpose.”
But, how exactly can you achieve that?
After all, we live in a fast-paced world riddled with day-to-day distractions and demands.
Incoming texts and emails for the next to-do or request.
Calendar alerts on upcoming appointments, school pickups, or extracurricular functions.
Countdown app notifications that make you realize all you haven’t gotten done, but “need” to do before homecoming day arrives.
And, before you know it, just for the mere pleasure of checking things off your list, you end up moving through life at rapid speed while losing sight of your own needs, passions, and beliefs—the things that make you feel most alive.
Like a hamster spinning in its wheel, you feel you’re going nowhere, fast.
Ready to get off that hamster wheel & find fulfillment?
We’ve brought together some seriously big inspirers & encouragers to share their expertise.

Virtual, wherever you prefer to retreat to (as long as there’s WiFi access!)
WHO’S INVITED?
Military spouses—whether past, present, or future—who are ready to:
Dedicate time to themselves & wellness over the course of six days (no distractions, just some necessary YOU time!)
Feel more connected to the military spouse community, and find comfort in knowing they’re not alone
Take action based on insights and inspiring ideas they’ll gain, while staying mindful of limiting beliefs that may hold them back from living a life with purpose
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
10 inspirational interviews on topics such as:
How to Grow, Spend, Love, Eat, and Move—with PURPOSE.
We’ll drop inspiration right into your inbox from experts who’ll reveal their secrets to living a more purposeful life.
From that moment, you can choose to listen wherever you have WiFi access—whether that means shutting the door to a quiet space in your home, plugging in headphones to tune in while working out or on-the-run - you name it. Or, if you prefer to download the interviews and come back to them as often as you prefer, reserve an All-Access Pass.
No matter your preferred place to retreat, however, we hope you take every advantage of this virtual event.
No travel. No childcare. No missed work.
