🎙️ In this episode, MJ invites you to hit pause on your go-go-go life and say yes to something deeply restorative: the Nurture & Nourish Retreat, happening this September on beautiful Bald Head Island, NC.

You’ll hear all the details about this “Only If You Want To” kind of retreat—laid-back, low-key, and lovingly curated for women who crave rest, reconnection, and really good food. MJ and Terri share the science behind why time in nature, shared meals, community connection, and letting someone else handle the details are the ultimate tonic for your overworked nervous system.

Co-hosted with wellness chef and health-forward goddess Terri Orr, this retreat includes:

  • 🧘‍♀️ Gentle movement + beginner-friendly meditation
  • 🥗 Delicious, nourishing meals (and recipes to take home!)
  • 🌅 Time for yourself + stunning island sunsets
  • 🛏️ Cozy, renovated accommodations
  • 🛶 Optional island adventures (kayaking, hiking, beach walks, and more)
  • 💛 Evening chats + light-hearted community connection

Whether you’re a beach lover, an introvert who needs quiet, or someone who just wants to show up and not plan a thing—this is your invitation to breathe deeper, laugh easier, and return home recharged.
