  • The Art of the Opt-Out: How Saying No Creates Breakthroughs (Not Burnout)
    Apr 17 2026

    What if the most powerful thing you could do… is nothing?

    In this episode of Bucket List Retreats-The Podcast, we’re flipping the script on productivity, travel, and even personal growth. Because the real luxury in 2026 isn’t doing more—it’s knowing when to step back.

    If you’ve ever come back from a vacation needing another vacation… this episode is for you.

    This is about building the “architecture of no”—protecting your time, your energy, and your attention so the extraordinary actually has room to show up.

    ✨ Because a true bucket list life isn’t about more experiences…
    …it’s about creating the space to actually feel them.

    🎧 Hit follow if you’re ready to unplug, reset, and rethink what a bucket list really means.

  • You Don’t Need to Be Burned Out Enough to Go on Retreat
    Jan 9 2026

    Do you wait until you’re completely burned out before going on retreat? Many people think they have to hit rock bottom before they can justify taking time for themselves — but that’s not true! In this episode of Bucket List Retreats – The Podcast, I explore why retreat can be preventative, not reactive, and how choosing it early can help you feel clearer, lighter, and more inspired.

    We cover:

    • Retreat News: Post-apocalyptic glamping retreat in Utah
    • Retreat Review: Mindspore Retreats in Bali — the real self-love retreat experience
    • Why waiting for burnout isn’t necessary, and how retreat can be a proactive choice
    • Next week’s episode sneak peek: The Magic of Not Having to Decide Anything

  • Running a Retreat Alone? Terrifying
    Oct 31 2025

    Running a retreat alone? Terrifying. 👻 In this Halloween week episode of Bucket List Retreats – The Podcast, we’re spilling the spooky truth about trying to do it all yourself. From guest coordination to logistics and late-night emergencies—this episode dives into why every retreat leader needs backup (and how the right assistant can save your sanity).

    We’ll kick off with our usual chit chat and Retreat News & Reviews, then jump into the horror stories and hard-earned lessons behind solo retreat planning.

    ✨ Topics we cover:

    • Why “doing it all” never works long-term
    • How to find (and afford) the right retreat assistant
    • The difference between running a retreat and surviving one

  • Forget the Turkey — Your Gratitude’s Waiting Somewhere Else
    Nov 21 2025

    This Thanksgiving, instead of stressing over stuffing and perfect table settings, what if you packed your carry-on and discovered gratitude somewhere breathtaking? In this episode, we’re talking Grateful Getaways—how stepping away from routine (and yes, even the turkey) can help you reconnect, recharge, and actually feel thankful again.

    We’ll dive into how travel amplifies appreciation, why group experiences shift perspective, and how small intentional moments on the road lead to big emotional resets. I’ll also share details about a retreat center that focuses on true recharge using modalities like light therapy, movement, and clean eating—plus a little fun Kelly commentary, because of course we go there.

    🎧 Tune in if you're craving something more meaningful than mashed potatoes this year.
    ✈️ Stay if you're ready to plan a getaway that fills your heart, not just your plate.

    Hit like if you’ve ever needed a vacation from Thanksgiving, and subscribe so you don’t miss next week’s episode: The Power of the Pause.
