Are you a woman entrepreneur secretly exhausted by your own high standards, craving a business that scales with ease while leaving space for slow mornings, creative flow, and moments that make your soul hum?
This retreat is your invitation to rewrite the rules of success—where your “soft life” becomes the compass guiding your business’ growth, and you rediscover the rhythm of a life that’s both vibrant and expansive.
You have arrived in Madrid,
where the sacred rhythm between intensity and pause abides.
As dawn gilds Madrid’s rooftops, the city stirs—not with urgency, but with the confident rhythm of a place that has mastered the dance of passion and pause.
Here, where flamenco’s braceo arcs through candlelit tablaos and the Retiro’s fountains murmur ancient wisdom, you’ll unravel the myth that success demands unhealthy sacrifice.
The cobblestones beneath your feet seem to whisper: Your soft life is not a retreat—it’s the compass.
In sun-dappled workshops, you’ll map the rhythms that truly sustain you—mornings for strategic clarity, afternoons for creative flow, evenings for sangria-soaked sisterhood. The city’s fiery heartbeat syncs with your own as you trade rigid schedules for the fluidity of mañana and the fiery truth of ahora.
By week’s end, Madrid’s lesson lingers: that scaling your business isn’t about doing more, but aligning with the sacred cadence of ease—where every “yes” to rest becomes a rebellion, and ambition feels less like a cage and more like wings.
Welcome to Madrid

Picture yourself ditching the hustle guilt and stepping into a softer groove. A life where your business thrives because it’s in sync with your heart, not because you’re running on empty. Where you make space for what truly feeds your soul.
No more feeling like you’re just going through the motions or stuck on a treadmill you didn’t sign up for. It’s time to reclaim your joy, your passions, and your rhythm-and do it all with ease.

How The Retreat will help you
Why the City of Madrid?
Madrid is more than a city—it’s a rhythm.
A dance between fiery passion and peaceful pause, where cobblestone streets hum with centuries of reinvention and Retiro’s sunlit paths teach the art of slow. Here, the soul of the city lives in sobremesa—those languid meals where sangria and laughter stretch time, and success is measured in momentos compartidos, not hours worked.
Success on Madrid’s Terms
Madrid’s people measure success in shared moments: the Paseo’s twilight strolls, the taberna’s midnight debates, the quiet pride of a shopkeeper’s 40-year ritual. In Madrid, no one is a tourist—you’re a temporary local from the moment your soles touch its cobblestones. This is the city’s alchemy: turning visitors into lifelong students of joy, where ambition thrives not in hustle, but in harmony.
Madrid’s Rhythm is a Masterclass in Purposeful Living
It’s in the terraza at noon, where vermouth pours as freely as ideas, and in the hush of a siesta that guards stillness like a secret. The city whispers: “Ambition thrives when rooted in joy.” Here, spreadsheets coexist with patatas bravas, and scaling feels like flamenco—a balance of precision and surrender, where every step is both strategy and soul.
This is Where the Sacred Pause Becomes Your Compass
In candlelit chapels and jasmine-scented courtyards, Madrid guards the quiet spaces where clarity blooms. Its people—shopkeepers polishing counters for decades, artists scribbling dreams in tabernas—remind you that legacy isn’t built in haste, but in rhythms that honor rest as much as hustle.
Madrid Doesn’t Just Inspire—It Mirrors Your Deepest Alignment
To walk its streets is to rediscover the joy of building with your soul, not against it. Where scaling smells like fresh pan de cristal and sounds like a café solo sipped slowly, alone with your thoughts. Where success tastes like a Sunday shared with those who fuel your fire.
This is Why Madrid
Because here, your business grows like the city itself—rooted in reinvention, alive with tomorrow’s fire, and always, always dancing.

From Kerry-Ann
A note from the heart.
Dear Sister,
I know the weight of “success”—the late nights, the relentless scaling, the quiet ache of “Is this all?” I’ve sat in your seat: suited, accomplished, yet yearning for the version of myself who once belted show tunes and said “yes” to midnight adventures.
Madrid taught me that entrepreneurship needn’t be a zero-sum game. Here, I found the courage to ask: What if my business fueled my life instead of consuming it?
This retreat is your permission slip to pause. To let flamenco’s cadence remind you that stillness amplifies momentum. To relearn ambition through paseos and siestas. To remember that joy isn’t a distraction—it’s the foundation of legacy.
Bring your dreams, your doubts, and your dancing shoes. Let’s build a business that scales like Madrid lives: fiercely, fully, fantásticamente.
Con todo mi corazón,
Kerry-Ann
