I just returned from the most inspiring and soul-nourishing retreat in New Orleans, hosted by the incredibly talented Marissa, and I can honestly say—it was everything I didn’t know I needed. Held at the luxurious Four Seasons, the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by beauty, intention, and the kind of creative energy that lights a fire in your soul.

Soulful | Atmospheric | Artful
What made this retreat so special wasn’t just the gorgeous setting or the thoughtful experiences—it was the people. I had the honor of meeting some of the most wonderful, driven, and beautiful women. We shared stories, lifted each other up, and bonded over our shared passion for creativity, entrepreneurship, and growth. There was a palpable sense of support and empowerment in every conversation, and I’m walking away with not only new friendships, but also a deeper sense of purpose.

History , Art and Vision
One of the highlights of the retreat was our editorial shoot at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The setting was breathtaking—classic, artful, and full of history. Watching it all come to life through the lens, with a stunning model and a team that shared the same creative vision, reminded me of why I love this work. But more than that, it revealed something unexpected: a new calling.

Something Realized Through Collaboration
As I stood behind the camera, directing, encouraging, and collaborating, I felt a strong pull—an undeniable realization that my next chapter involves education. I want to teach, guide, and pour into others the way I’ve been poured into. This retreat wasn’t just a beautiful escape; it was a turning point. I learned so much, and I’m walking away with clarity, confidence, and a full heart.
I’m beyond grateful to Marissa for curating such a transformative experience. And to all the incredible women I met—you’ve inspired me more than you know. I cannot wait for the next adventure, wherever it may take us.
