Dear Creatives,

I have been sitting on this news for a while, and today, I finally get to share it with you—I am hosting a 5-day art retreat in Portugal this November!

The Art to Income Retreat will take place November 13-17, 2025, and it’s designed to be more than just a getaway—it’s a space for artists to truly transform their creative businesses. Whether you’re looking to refine your pricing strategy, develop a stronger brand, or gain clarity on your long-term goals, this retreat will give you the tools, confidence, and mindset to build a thriving, sustainable art business.

Tune into today’s podcast or listen at the top of this email for all of my thoughts!

Why This Retreat? Why Now?

If you’ve been following my journey, you know I believe deeply in the power of goal-setting and taking intentional action. Ironically, I didn’t set out with a clear plan to host an artist retreat—at least, not at first. But I had been toying with two ideas:

* Bringing women together for a transformative coaching experience.

* Creating an opportunity to do something abroad.

At the same time, I was building my 2025 vision board, and—what do you know?—a picture of a women picking lavender and a chateau in Europe (that looked a lot like Portugal) made its way onto it.

Here’s where things get even crazier: I created that vision board on a Monday. By that Friday, I received an email from Sofia inviting me to lead a retreat in Monsaraz. Tell me that wasn’t meant to be.

But I didn’t just stumble into this opportunity. It came from years of preparation—through The Founders Society, The Club, and my own strategic planning—proving yet again that luck favors the prepared. (Listen to the podcast for the full story!)

This was a pinch-me moment, but more importantly, it felt like the perfect opportunity to create something that would truly impact you—the creative who is ready to build a thriving, sustainable business.
