Hi Reader,

I want to share a part of my story with you today.

Four years ago, my friend Natalie (you might know her as @blaze.a.trail) reached out and asked if I wanted to go to a retreat with her in Colorado.

We’d grown up in the same community and attended the same church, but we were always in different seasons of life. I actually used to babysit her kids! At the time, she was more of an acquaintance than a close friend.

And honestly? I wasn’t sure I should say yes.

The retreat felt expensive. I had two little ones at home—one still nursing. Life was busy, and I didn’t know if it was the “right time.”

But something in me knew I needed it… so I said yes anyway.

And that one decision?

It changed the course of my life.

That retreat is where the vision for Beyond the Fencelines was born.

It’s where I began investing in myself, working on my mental health, and realizing I wasn’t alone in how I felt.

It’s where I found the courage to start sharing my story—and eventually, step into the role I have now as a life coach for farm and ranch women.

And Natalie?

She’s now one of my closest friends.

Even when life gets full and we don’t see each other for months, we pick up right where we left off. She’s been a huge part of my faith journey, one of my biggest supporters, and the person who lovingly nudged me toward help when she noticed I wasn’t myself.

I often wonder where I’d be if I had said no.

If I had told myself it wasn’t the right time.

If I had missed the opportunity for connection, transformation, and healing.

That’s why I believe so deeply in the power of inviting someone to go with you to Soul Strength Retreat.

There’s something beautiful that happens when you show up together—ready to grow, to rest, to reconnect with God, and with yourselves.

Soul Strength Retreat is happening this September 5-7 on Flathead Lake, Montana.

And I want you to consider this your invitation.

Early bird registration opens April 20.

And if you’re feeling that nudge like I was four years ago… I encourage you to say YES.

You never know how much it might change your life.
