In this episode, I explore the transformative power of retreats with my special guest, Susan Crain. A seasoned divorce lawyer, Susan faced a pivotal moment after a minor stroke (despite being otherwise healthy). Realising the need to reduce stress and rebalance her life, Susan attended a retreat in Byron Bay with me that offered relaxation, fresh air, good food, and the space to reflect and reset. This experience not only aided her recovery but also inspired her to launch not one, but two new business ventures: the Family Support Network and the Separation Support Network. These initiatives empower individuals navigating divorce and family transitions with comprehensive emotional, legal, and financial resources. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✨The Healing Impact of Retreats: How taking time away from daily pressures can provide the clarity and inspiration needed to make meaningful life changes. ✨Turning Crisis into Opportunity: Discover how Susan transformed a health scare into an opportunity to realign her career and focus on supporting others through difficult times. ✨Building Supportive Communities: Learn how Susan used her legal expertise and renewed purpose to create networks that offer essential support for those experiencing separation and family challenges. This episode is a must listen for anyone who is navigating a tricky separation, or has ever wanted to retreat but felt worried about going it alone.
