The first time I heard about Shazia was from posts she had written that showcased her incredible life journey. I have been on a decades-long journey of healing and manifesting in different areas of my life--and this year, my focus has been on wealth. I feel like I drew the retreat to me, so I signed up instantly. And I had several months to keep working towards what I wanted to let go of before before the retreat and what I wanted to draw into my life afterwards.

From the moment I arrived, I felt like I stepped into the bolder, wealthier version of myself (the one that had always been in the far-off, distant future). Shazia had put in so much thought into every detail that all we had to do was show up. And the group she had carefully curated was incredible--every single woman was nothing short of inspiring! After an incredible retreat (you really need to take in these magical experiences yourself first-hand!), I walked away embodying a version of myself that is softer yet stronger, emotionally vulnerable yet more powerful, and wealthier in all different ways. I also walked away with the most supportive pod of women who are cheerleading my next steps following the retreat!

After the retreat, I see the world differently--but more importantly, I see myself differently. In the past few weeks, I have faced some very unique challenges and interesting situations (the kind of things that only happen in tv shows or movies). The old version of me would have immediately gone into victim mode or tried to "solve things". Instead, I have found a deep well of compassion within me (for myself and others). I find myself being able to hold space for what shows up, and step into a bigger, bolder version of myself without having to try too hard (who knew that could be possible??). I have risen to each challenge with humor and strength. And the best part? I think turning lemons into lemonade is a worthwhile endeavor--and I'm doing it from a place of alignment instead of fear. Things aren't happening "to me" - they are happening "for me!"  

I'm presenting workshops to larger audiences at work, mentoring others, advocating for myself, looking into solid financial planning options, and evaluating new ideas and opportunities from a place of honoring my needs and desires. I know deep down that I deserve to live the life I truly desire (in the way I have been able to advocate for other people for years). I have no doubt that I will be achieving my biggest goals a lot faster now because I am aligned with them (instead of subconsciously pushing them away, as was a long-standing pattern of mine!).  Shazia is a brilliant coach and retreat leader! If you're ready to live your big, bold, wealthy life, I highly recommend working with her immediately - she's the coach your future self is thanking for bringing your dreams to life faster than you can imagine! 

I've known Shazia for years and have always been attracted to her energy - positive, sincere, willing to help and connect people. That's why when she announced her first retreat it was a no brainer for me! 

I knew I needed it even though I didn't even know what to expect. At that point I felt stuck creatively, my business was doing well but I felt like I hit the ceiling, and I was very tired and felt locked up in the way my life looked like at the moment. I couldn't tell why I felt this way or what was the reason, as from the outside everything was picture perfect - model mom & wife, successful business owner, growing social media... 

What really helped me at Shazia's retreat is hearing other women's stories, seeing taht I'm not the only one who feels this way, getting the encouraging feedback from Shazia and other ladies, but mostly - getting asked the right questions at the right time, taking the time and space to think, feel and dream and letting go of the guilt I've been carrying.

Shazia did a few exercises that helped me realize how much weight I've been carrying trying to be perfect and please everyone. So you feel like you're doing everything by the book but that doesn't make you happy - Shazia's retreat would be a great way to release all your feelings and start seeing things differently.
