About this Event

Ready to step into your next level of leadership? As a woman in leadership—whether you're advancing in your corporate career, growing your business, or building your impact in your industry—you're working hard to create something meaningful. But here's what often happens as we grow: we get so focused on managing our current responsibilities that we lose sight of what's truly possible. The dreams that once inspired us get pushed to the back burner. We become excellent at taking care of everything and everyone else, but we stop prioritizing ourselves and our own vision.If you're sensing there's more for you—more income potential, more impact to make, more fulfillment to experience—but you haven't made the space to really explore what that looks like, this retreat is designed for you.

Nourishing Yourself & Tapping Into Your Dreams Many women leaders find themselves in this position: you know you want to grow, but you haven't had the time or space to truly envision what that means. You have ideas, but they feel scattered. You have dreams, but they seem distant given your current responsibilities.And perhaps most importantly, you've been so busy caring for others that you've forgotten how to truly nurture yourself. Not just spa days or quick fixes, but the kind of deep nourishment that restores your energy and clarifies your thinking.

"When women relax, we become wise." ~ Gigi Sage ~ When we create genuine space for ourselves—space to breathe, to reflect, to dream—our natural clarity and intuition emerge. We reconnect with what truly matters to us and see possibilities we couldn't access when we were constantly in motion.

Rediscovering What's Possible This retreat is about creating the space—often missing in our busy lives—to reconnect with your aliveness and clarify your bigger vision. We'll explore questions like:

  • What would your next level of success look like if you designed it around what truly brings you alive?
  • How could you increase your income and impact in ways that energize rather than drain you?
  • What dreams have you put on the back burner that might be ready to be activated?
  • How can you prioritize yourself and your vision while managing your current responsibilities?

What You'll Experience This isn't a lecture-style workshop. It's an immersive day designed to help you step away from the day-to-day and reconnect with both your deeper purpose and your well-being.

Reflecting on Your Leadership Journey Where you are now, what's working well, and how busy-ness can disconnect you from your bigger dreams.

Clarifying Your Vision The possibilities you've been too busy to explore and dreams that are ready to be reactivated.

What Gets in Your Way Internal blocks, limiting beliefs, and the difference between operating from force versus flow.

The Art of True Nourishment Why traditional self-care often fails busy leaders and how to care for yourself in ways that actually restore your energy and wisdom.

Creating Your Pathway Forward Integrate insights from the day into a practical plan you can implement.

MEET OUR FACILITATORS

Gigi Sage

For nearly four decades, Gigi Sage has been the behind-the-scenes force supporting leaders, entrepreneurs, power couples, and executives to step into the lives they were meant to lead. Her work is rooted in a deep belief that when women reconnect with their vision—and learn to nurture themselves in the process—they become unstoppable.

Through her coaching, international retreats, and published work on communication and relationships, Gigi has helped thousands of people bring more alignment and aliveness into every area of life: business, family, relationships, and personal fulfillment.

Gigi’s clients often describe her as their “secret weapon”—someone who sees the blind spots and untapped potential just beyond their current perspective. Many have worked with her for years, returning again and again to find clarity, overcome challenges, grow their income, and rise to new levels of impact and ease.

Her mission is simple: to help you come home to yourself. With Gigi in your corner, what once felt impossible starts to become inevitable.

Makena Sage

Makena Sage is a coach and speaker who—alongside her mother and longtime mentor, Gigi Sage—supports high-achieving women to grow their income, reclaim their time, and build lives they love in every area. Together, they co-lead transformational programs like the Wealthy World Changers Mastermind, helping women step into their bigger dreams with more clarity, confidence, and ease.

By age 26, Makena had hit six figures in her marketing career—but behind the scenes, she was burned out and unfulfilled. With Gigi’s support, she made the courageous leap to walk away from the work that was draining her and, together, they built a soul-aligned coaching business that allowed her to earn more, work less, and wake up excited for her work each day.

Today, Makena is passionate about helping women shift out of “go mode,” reconnect with what truly lights them up, and experience a whole new way of leading and living. Her approach blends practical business growth with deep personal alignment—so your success doesn’t just look good, it feels good.
