Ageless Wisdom and Passion
A four week online retreat for women who want to live their best lives now.
You have your own inner wisdom, the voice that tells you that there’s something more, that your life can be better.
The problem is when you’re tired and drained, giving to everyone else, you give up yourself, your dreams and settle for an ordinary life.
No wonder you’re tired and exhausted. You haven’t been doing the things that fill you up, that energize and sustain you.
You’ve been putting yourself last for a long time.
You know how to give to everyone else but recently you’ve been feeling as if the to-do list will never end. There’s always one more thing to do or one more person to take care of.
And it’s starting to wear thin.
You find yourself resentful and irritable.
You’re eating when you're bored or overwhelmed just to have more energy and now your clothes don't fit which makes you even crankier.
There's no passion or purpose to anything in your life.
You long for free time to do what you want but there's never any time.
You are the type of woman who is extremely capable of doing many things. And most of those involve doing things for others, especially those you love. You always make sure everyone else is taken care of.
OR
Maybe the above doesn’t describe you and you know what it is that holds you back from living your best life.
Before we go on, I’d like you to congratulate yourself for giving everything you had.
Now I’d like to invite you to imagine that there is another way
It doesn’t have to be this way: bored, tired, worn out, stressed, apologizing for things that aren't really your fault. You don’t have to be bogged down in all this craziness anymore.
You don’t have to keep going down a path that wears you down, where you make yourself sick by constantly doing. It’s not sustainable or healthy.
I think you already know that.
Life can be so much more, more of what you want.
What if you could feel energized, vibrant, thrilled to wake up every day, go through your days more creative, more joyful, more you?
What would it be like to trust yourself, to be the woman who is certain and knows what she wants?
What if you could nurture yourself an not feel guilty? Or you could feel creative and imaginative again?
What if you could have what you want?
Welcome to the age of becoming who you were always meant to be.
This is why I created AGELESS WISDOM AND PASSION for women
I created AGELESS WISDOM AND PASSION to shortcut all the years of learning I went through so that you can quickly turn your life around and live the rest of your life doing what YOU love, stepping away from feeling tired and worn-out into a life of fun and energy.
I’m passionate about helping women get off the treadmill of busyness. As we get older, we don’t have to become invisible, decrepit, or unfulfilled. We can live as ageless, wise women.
I refuse to settle for an ordinary life. I want to have fun while I’m here, feel healthy and fit, and be thrilled at being alive. I know how to do that and I can help you live your life that way, too.
It wasn’t always like this for me.
I wasn’t always having this much fun.
I struggled to find balance. Everyday I was overwhelmed and exhausted. I put my dreams on hold to overwork and over give. I didn’t think I deserved to put myself first.
Despite being a successful psychotherapist who spent her days helping others heal and break free of negative thought patterns, it took me years to figure out what I wanted. I suffered with self-doubt and anxiety. My inner critics were louder than my positive self-talk. I knew I didn’t want to live the rest of my life burned out. I wanted to be healthy and vibrant. I needed to figure out how.
When I realized I could get off that hamster wheel by making some simple changes, everything shifted. I flipped the way I was thinking. Almost overnight, I went from being depleted and dissatisfied to working and traveling around the world and living a dream that I never thought was possible.
You can create a life of joy and passion without making drastic changes
introducing... AGELESS WISDOM AND PASSION online retreat
Ageless Wisdom and Passion online retreat is designed as if you are on retreat. It is offered in 4 learning sections.
Each section, released each week over 4 weeks, includes a dynamic video, downloadable tools, journaling and introspective exercises, and the opportunity to apply the content to your life immediately.
Ageless Wisdom and Passion is a 4 week online retreat to reinvent/redesign your life.
Retreat Week 1 – The REAL you…what you really want and how to get it
After retreat week 1, you’ll notice a shift in your energy levels because you’ll be writing and talking about your dreams, your ideal day, and you’ll be really clear on what it is that your heart longs for.
This is what we will cover:
You’ll learn all about journaling and how this can help you.
You’ll also write about your perfect day.
We’ll talk a lot about permission and how to give this to yourself.
And right away you’ll feel the connection with other women who are going through the same process.
Retreat Week 2 – Removing your obstacles
One thing that I see that trips women up is that once you have clarity on what you really want or what needs to change in your life, there are almost always obstacles, mostly in the form of your inner critics or saboteurs. The mistake I see many people make is that they don’t understand how these inner voices can keep you from getting what you want. We go into depth on how to recognize and deal with these powerful negative thoughts.
What we'll cover:
- Understanding and dealing with your inner critics and saboteurs
- How to say no and not feel guilty
- Giving yourself permission to have what you want
- How to trust yourself
Retreat Week 3 – Play and pleasure: why you can’t afford to live without it
Most women at the end of this section are thrilled to see their energy levels go up, their libidos shift, and they see themselves getting unstuck. They’re laughing more because they’re giving themselves permission to really savor life.
In this week, we will cover:
-
The biochemical factors that change our bodies when we play.
More ways to give yourself permission to incorporate pleasure into your life.
Finding time in your day for fun
-
a plan for making play & fun a priority and integrating it into your everyday life.
Retreat Week 4 - Making YOU the most important part of your day
This is our final week where we’ll dive deep into our self care. One of the mistakes I see women struggle with (even though they know the importance of self care), is falling back into old habits of giving too much to others, getting stuck in the doing and putting themselves last.
You’ll have accountability and a team of others in this week cheering you on.
What we will cover:
- Building your own reasonable plan for prioritizing yourself
- Preventing and sidestepping burnout
- Using a morning ritual to start your day.
- Gratitude and how it changes the way you think about your life.
Having the life you want does not have to be slow and difficult.
I believe in having wins and having FUN. I know that if you’re going to invest in something it has to give you a return. You have invested in your family and your work and now it’s YOUR turn.
With the right focus, the right training, and the right tools, and a community of supportive women, you can implement a step-by-step plan to go from not enough time for yourself to more energy, aliveness, and vibrance.
You can move from trying to multi task, manage time and apologizing to everyone and feeling inadequate to being able to ask for help and being able to say no to the things you don’t want to do.
You can move from making longer to do lists to having ease and balance in your day. And having fun!
And you can have more aliveness right now as you learn how to manifest more of what you want for yourself this year.

More support that you've ever dreamed of
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I arrived, I’d never been to a “self-care” retreat and was a bit nervous about what would be expected of me. I’m so used to taking care of everything and everyone else, I wasn’t sure I could let go and breathe. Shortly after meeting Jo, I knew that it was safe to release and allow space to grow, which is exactly what happened!
My experiences over the next three days with Jo and the group were profound. My perception of myself and the world around me started to transform, empowering me to be my full-self. I now find myself applying the tools learned in both my professional and personal life, which has improved interpersonal relationships and my ability to work through challenging situations.

This retreat is right for you if you're ready to:
- Feel energized and vibrant
Aging doesn’t have to mean low energy or health worries. As you get older, you CAN wake up feeling rested and restored.
- Experience true joy and fun everyday
You can live life full out with passion and listen to what your heart tells you. You deserve to live life the way YOU want.
- Discover purpose and meaning
You have the gift of wisdom from all your life experiences. The world needs your unique feminine wisdom.
- Trust yourself and what you know.
Turn on the switch of self confidence and self love. Be able to make decisions without self-doubt.
- Escape the stress and fatigue
Don’t let your endless TO DO list bury you. You have a right to enjoy yourself and savor every minute of your precious life.
- Know and connect to other women
Surround yourself with women who support and encourage you to follow your dreams. It’s so important to know that you’re not the only one struggling and to do what you love.
I attended a weekend yoga retreat, where Jo led the retreat component, guiding discussions and connecting with each participant. Jo is a force; exuberant and nourishing. At that time I was struggling with uncertainty in my profession and romantic relationship. The retreat helped me fortify my personal strength and weather what was coming my way with competency and confidence.
Jo urged us to challenge ourselves; connect, seek strength and support from the surrounding women, and actively reflect throughout the experience. This formal reflection helped me to identify further changes I could make in my life. She was a driving force in me creating a routine for reflection. After the retreat, I began regularly journaling again. I hope there are many retreats with Jo in my future.

FAQs
What’s an online retreat?
It’s an experience that takes place in the comfort of your own home. No need to get dressed, you can watch the videos at any time and participate with the way that’s right for you.
How much time do I need to set aside to go through the program?
1-2 hours per week is best and you can spend more time if you'd prefer. The more you’re willing to explore your old habits and your new vision, the better.
When will I have have access to the material?
When you register, you'll have immediate access and each week a new video will be released.
What if I can’t make one of the Q&A calls or the virtual retreat?
I have designed the retreat so that if you can’t make it, you can submit a question in advance. You’ll have your answers in the recording if you’re unable to attend. All sessions are recorded and posted to the course portal within 24 hours (and it’s usually the same day).
I’m shy. Do I have to participate with the other women?
An accountability partner is optional. We get the most out of learning with others but participation within the Ageless Wisdom community is optional.
I was able to get out of my busyness and tap into what my heart was really longing for.
I dropped my "should's" and learned how to play.
Thank you for the life changing retreat Jo!
