A Virtual Stress Relief Retreat
FINDING BALANCE
for Women in Midlife
October 18-19, 2025
stretched too thin?
The endless to-do list. The back-to-back commitments. The constant feeling that you should be doing more—yet never feeling caught up.
Your mind races at night, your shoulders stay tense, and your own needs keep falling to the bottom of the list.
What if you could step out of that cycle, even just for a weekend, to catch your breath and create a plan for a calmer, more balanced life?
At Finding Balance: A Virtual Stress Relief Retreat for Women in Midlife, you’ll connect with women who get it, clear the mental and emotional clutter, and walk away with tools to create more peace in your life.
Welcome to
finding balance
A 2-day virtual retreat for women in midlife who are ready to step away from constant demands, quiet the mental chatter, and create a more balanced, intentional life.
Over the weekend, you’ll:
Connect with women who understand the unique challenges of midlife
Learn simple, realistic strategies for reducing stress and preventing burnout
Discover time and energy management tools that actually work in real life
Practice mindfulness, movement, and relaxation techniques you can use daily
Create your own balanced weekly schedule so you leave with a clear plan
Why I Created This Retreat
Hi 👋 I’m Coach Lisa.
As a woman in midlife, I know exactly how it feels to juggle a career, personal goals, and everything life throws at you. In my years as a corporate leader, I managed a large team while also maintaining a demanding training schedule as a competitive boxer. I had to learn how to protect my time, energy, and relationships while still excelling in my career and personal pursuits.
Now, as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, I work specifically with women in midlife who are navigating the same pressures—careers, family responsibilities, and the constant pull to put their own needs last.
We give so much of ourselves to others, but we can’t keep running on empty. We deserve more than a quick escape—we deserve a meaningful, energizing, and restorative experience that helps us feel lighter, clearer, and more in control.
That’s exactly why I created Finding Balance.

Permission
to Hit Pause
I get it—it’s hard to step away from everything you’ve got going on. Work, family, errands…there’s always something that feels more “urgent” than your own wellbeing.
But after nearly two decades in the corporate world, I learned that no one is going to make space for your health except you. And even a little time to reset can make a difference.
Before you decide, watch this short video of women who’ve been to past Mostly Well events. They’ll tell you what happened when they finally made themselves a priority—and why it was worth it.
This fall, you can give yourself the same chance. Two days. No travel. Just you, your laptop, your yoga mat, a cozy cup of coffee, and a plan for a more balanced life.
Still have questions?
I’ve got answers.
-
Over two half-days, you’ll experience grounding meditations, virtual yoga designed for midlife bodies, and practical workshops to help you simplify your schedule, boost mindfulness, and create a personalized plan for more balance.
A full agenda will be shared closer to the event. -
Nope! While we’ll chat about what Mostly Well offers, there’s no obligation to buy anything beyond your retreat ticket. This weekend is about learning and taking time for yourself.
-
While the schedule is currently subject to change, the retreat runs from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Central Time on both days, October 18 and 19.
