Transformative retreats for growth-seeking women: find clarity in your life +unlock your magick ✨
🎤 Podcast Host @atobwithrachelv
Start here⬇️

I always wondered why I felt so stuck in my life d

I always wondered why I felt so stuck in my life despite the constant personal development I did

❌Stuck repeating the same negative thinking patterns
❌Stuck in the same self sabatoging actions
❌Stuck from growing and becoming the women I knew I was capable of

I had started my self development journey when I was 9 and the first noticeable improvement came when I was closer to my 20s

I was frustrated that no matter how much work I did, I felt pretty similar. For so long I felt:

Self conscious
Co dependent
Bombarded with overthinking and negative thought loops

I was doing everything!! So what gives?

What I came to find out was that as motivated as I was to change, if my environment wasn’t going to change, neither would I

Just like a messy workspace is an indication of a messy mind

Spending time with negative friends or living in a negative environment is an indication of how you perceive yourself and your limitations

If you want to grow into your next level self, then you have to upgrade EVERYTHING

Your community
Your beliefs
Your language enliftedcoaches
Your habits

And then you’ll watch your growth and life sky rocket

Become the energy you want to attract, and the universe will provide the rest 🪄

Hey Bubbies! Coming off a high note after this pas

Hey Bubbies! Coming off a high note after this past weekend at markengland2057 lake house

It always amazes me how much I can grow in two days when amongst a house full of coaches

My whole life I craved having a community of inspiring friends who cared as much about growth as I did

And after spending a year traveling the country and attending retreats with other growth-seekers, I finally found what I had been searching for: my community

But, what I found was so much more than that

I now have a support system that I can learn and grow from

A support system that empowers me to share my gifts

A support system that has helped me take my power back so I could grow beyond my wildest dreams

I always wondered why it was SO hard to change and transform, and now I know why

Having a community of like-minded people who inspire you to grow and get out of your comfort zone is necessary on this journey

And that’s exactly why I created the goddess getaway

The Goddess Getaway is a safe space for growth seeking women to not only find community but heal and grow on a deeper level: mind, body, and soul

That’s how you unlock your magic and reach your highest potential ✨

Life before and after attending the Goddess Getawa

Life before and after attending the Goddess Getaway 😉 Just sayin’ 💁‍♀️

PSA ⛔️ to all those who know they are meant fo

PSA ⛔️ to all those who know they are meant for so much more, but are held back due to limiting beliefs 🪄

My whole life I let my social anxiety hold me back from becoming the person I wanted to be

At the beginning of COVID, I made a commitment to re-write my story that “I didn’t know how to be social” and that “I wasn’t worthy of inspiring women friends”

Because I knew that if I ever wanted to up-level and attract incredible, supportive women into my life, that story HAD to go 👋

Out of the list I mentioned, attending retreats was the #1 way I pushed through that story

Because when your in a safe container, designed to help you heal, connect, and grow… you are literally changing your story in real time

At transformative retreats, your not just learning how to heal, your living it 🪄

If you want to experience the magic and transformation that occurs at a transformative retreat, DM me a 🪄 emoji, I have 4 spots left for my next one in Sedona, AZ

And this one is over the top 🔝
A guaranteed life-overhaul ✨
And I’m soooo excited 😆

How to stop overthinking and START manifesting 👇

Let me guess…

You want to manifest more money, more purpose, inspiring friends…

So you think
And think
And think some more

And somehow the whole day has passed and you feel stuck, defeated, and anxious AF

And here lies the problem, you’re trying to control the HOW and the WHEN too much

You see, we think we are in control when we think
We think we can think our way into solving a problem

But we can’t, and I know this all too well because that used to be me

Here’s how you turn it around:

1️⃣You HAVE to start training your mind to let go of control through getting quiet: go on walks with no devices, meditate, do breathwork, journal. Whatever gives you a sense of internal peace, do that
2️⃣Write down all your limiting beliefs you tell yourself- repeat the belief while tapping your body or breathing. Repeat the belief out loud until you either get so emotional that you release it through crying, burping, trmoring, ect. Or until you feel so calm from breathing through it that you can reframe it into a positive statement
3️⃣THIS ONE IS HUGE: meditate AT LEAST once per day for 15-20 minutes (until your thoughts have slowed and you feel floaty) and then visualize what you would FEEL like if you had the thing that you want

Repeat #3 as many times as you can- THAT'S where the solutions and the power lies 💥

Because when you get in a meditative state and then visualize, you are reprogramming your subconscious 🧠

And when that happens, you feel different, and then you start to think differently, and then you start to act differently 👩‍🎤

And that’s how you attract and manifest, that’s how you get the mind out of the way and let the body lead 🪄

Do you have trouble accessing your creativity? Cr

Do you have trouble accessing your creativity?

Creativity is key to manifesting

You have to be able to envision what your life would like, what it would feel like, what it would taste like, what you would be doing, who you’d be with

If you have trouble accessing your creativity, look no further

At the next Goddess Getaway in Sedona, you will have the opportunity to unlock your creativity and imagination to envision and manifest a life only your higher self is aware you deserve

At the goddess getaway sedona you will:

✨Unlock your creativity through our unique meditations, activities, and connection circles
✨release your intuition through various exercises, plant medicines, and energy healing
✨manifest your wildest dreams through our unique manifestation exercises
✨find your soul family and experience the healing power of connection circles and having a safe and empowering community to support you
✨heal and release old wounds in the most unique forgiveness ceremony you’ll ever be apart of. Hint: there is a lake on the private property (let your imagination run wild 😜)
✨be immersed into living a holistic life filled with daily yoga, reiki sessions, body work, 3 nourishing whole meals and 2 snacks a day
✨get tapped into the cosmos and your spiritual side with Shira who is our tarot, yoga, and astrology coach
✨experience a cacao ceremony that will transform you ability to find safety and empowerment in your body

I would keep writing because I have so much more planned, but you get the point.

This is not just an retreat, it’s a life overhaul in the best way possible 🪄

When I signed up for my first women's retreat I ha

When I signed up for my first women's retreat I had just started my business and had very little money

All I had was the knowing that in order to get my business to be successful I would have to do two things:

1️⃣Go all in on my personal development so I could be the best coach ever
2️⃣Step out of my introverted shell and start networking with women. And, that was scary for me. I had a limiting belief that I didn't know how to be friends with women. Finding community was a struggle of mine most of my life.

As much as I wanted to help people, I knew I had to get out of my own to make it happen

So when the opportunity to attend my first women's retreat presented itself to me, everything inside me screamed to DO IT

Turns out, the price of the retreat was exactly the amount of money I had in my checking account

I checked in with my heart, and while my mind made up a zillion stories about how stupid it was to spend the rest of my money, my heart scream YES

Without thinking, I venmoed the money and I was in.

And by the end of the retreat, I had grown so close to the women at the retreat, that I had no choice but to let go of my story that I didn't deserve a community of women

So I attended more and more retreats

Until every wound, every story, I had from childhood was poof...gone. Retreats changed my life through community healing.

And that is how The Goddess Getaway was born

I took everything I had learned from attending retreats combined with my learnings from my several coaching certs, 19 years of self development experience, and the experience of my other coaching friends

I called it my holistic disneyland, with the mission to make massive shifts in women's lives in only 5 days

And after the first one, I saw 13 women literally LOOK different by the end of the 5 days and then continue to transform months after

& I am BEYOND excited to continue to change lives in Sedona in September

The healing goes beyond the activities that we do, it continues well after the retreat because of the community you leave with 👯

I have officially launched my new podcast, A to B

I have officially launched my new podcast, A to B with Rachel V. on Spotify and Buzzsprout (soon to be on Apple)!!!

The #1 thing that increased my happiness, sky rock

The #1 thing that increased my happiness, sky rocketed my confidence, and allowed me to step into my highest self?

Finding my community of bubbies (people I love dearly who I support and who support me FULLY)

It’s funny because I went to therapy for years and many of my sessions consisted of talking about my lack of community and loneliness

I remember telling my therapist “I want to find my community, but I don’t know how”

I knew how much my feelings of loneliness held me back in life and I wanted to fix it BADLY

We would sit there and think of ways I could find my community of women

We would come up with random ideas like researching random meet-ups, attending fun classes for things I was interested in, and reaching out on social media

They all felt so generic, so grey. And it was always so awkward.

Plus the people I met through these channels, I rarely vibed with

And then one day I had this idea to attend women's retreats with a bunch of coaches I had taken a coaching certification with

My life changed forever. I finally found my community of women who valued health, healing, talking about deep sh*t, and loved supporting one another in reaching our far-out dreams

I began attending more and more retreats because the healing that occured within a community setting vs on my own was unmeasurable

Retreats became the way I completely healed my remaining wounds from childhood

Your community is like walking affirmations that either lift you up and inspire you or drag you down and keep you where you are

This is exactly why the manifestation process I teach at my retreats are SO powerful. Since my last retreat in April, almost all 14 women have already manifested their manifestations. Watch my live I did the other day with kimberly.kesting to hear more about it

This Goddess Getaway is more than a retreat, it’s an immersive healing experience that is packed with pure magic ✨ link in bio for more info

My BEST tip for hiring a coach 👇 A LOT of my i

My BEST tip for hiring a coach 👇

A LOT of my income gets reinvested back into being coached and attending retreats ($20K in the last year to be exact) because I wholeheartedly believe that one of the MOST important factors to look out for when hiring a coach is…

THAT YOUR COACH HAS A COACH: It blows my mind how many coaches sell coaching packages, yet deny the need for a coach themselves. In order to be a good coach, you need to have a coach to reflect your subconscious beliefs back to you so you can work through them

A coach is an incredible mirror that sees things that are hard to see on your own 🪞

REMEMBER THIS: your coach will only be able to coach you to the level they have gotten to 🤔

Everyone has sh*t to deal with, and sh*t will continue to pop up throughout life, so if a coach doesn't have someone to help them address that, then they are NOT going to show up in a way that BEST serves you

So next time you get on a discovery call with a coach, ask them that! You have a right to discover if this coach is a good fit for you as much as the coach is deciding if you are a good fit for them ✨

Calling all introverts: I have some serious questi

Calling all introverts: I have some serious questions for you!

Who would you be without the label introvert?
Who would you be without your job?
Who would you be without your likes and dislikes?
Who would you be without any stories you tell yourself about yourself?

I ask you this because it’s something I’ve been pondering a lot recently

You see, I used to call myself a hardcore introvert (for 27 years to be exact aka most of my life)

🥸I was the girl who barley talked in school
🥸I was the girl who couldn’t wait to get home to be with herself because I needed to recover from being with people
🥸I was the girl who secretly enjoyed hanging out at home more than going out and partying in college

But all of a sudden, I’m not that girl anymore😳

I had a major shift in me over the past year and a half as I’ve learned to protect my own energy and fully heal my wounds

❌I can’t identify with the introvert story anymore❌

Because all of a sudden it doesn’t make a difference in my energy whether I’m with people or without them

And I invite you to question whether you’re really that girl too

Because without the story of being an introvert, who would you be? Who are you really?

What if it’s just a story? A label put on us by society keeping you stuck in the same pattern?

What if your introverted tendencies was just a sign something needed to be healed?

Remember: In the end, our identity is just a story, and we get choose how that story plays out 🪄

The cold is my teacher ❄️ I have been taking

The cold is my teacher ❄️

I have been taking daily cold showers and monthly ice baths for two years now

And after reflecting on the past year and a half, I can now see EXACTLY how it has helped me grow

My partner and I have this affirmation that we say, “I am comfortable in uncomfortable situations”

And that's exactly what the cold has taught me to do

It’s proven to me time and time again that I can stay calm in the eye of a storm

It’s the reason I feel comfortable taking so many risks, like running retreats after only having my coaching business for 6 months
It’s the reason why when something catastrophic happens, I can calm myself instantly and then grow from it

In fact, I have had what most people would categorize as “traumatic” events happen over the last year

Three of them to be exact

And what I learned about myself from them is how good I am at processing and moving on

When each traumatic event happened, I was shocked at how calm I felt

Like TRULY calm, not just ignoring the situation

And I didn't used to be this way, I used to freak out at the drop of a hat

I attribute this to me practicing being comfortable in uncomfortable situations

I do it time and time again, whether it's dunking in ice baths or taking leaps of faith

So what’s the secret?

When you turn the water in the shower to cold or get into an ice bath, it's necessary to get in control of your breath and practice low and slow breathing

It’s all in the breath 💨

Breath is life, and the more low and slow I breathe, the more resilient I become 💪

What do you do to practice resilience? Drop it in the comments below 👇

What can The Goddess Getaway do for you? ✨ One

What can The Goddess Getaway do for you? ✨

One thing I have learned throughout my time as a nutritionist and as a transformation coach is that you can read ALL the books and take ALL the courses to better yourself, but if you don't know how to actually embody what you’re learning, you’ll stay stuck

If transformation came from reading books and reading IG posts, then the world would be healed 🤓

In order to REALLY transform, you have to immerse yourself in healing practices

And that's exactly what we do at the Goddess Getaway😚

We DON’T lecture and have classes
You learn through first-hand experience and embodiment

✅You learn how easy it is to eat intuitively for optimal health and body love
✅You learn how to move intuitively and be the embodiment of strength and bravery
✅You learn how to REALLY manifest your dreams into reality (btw most women who attend manifest their manifestations within a couple months of attending The Getaway- this practice is high level and proven to work by dozens of women)
✅You learn how to release emotions so they stop running your life

✅✅And finally, you gain a support network of amazing women all with the mission to be the best selves they can be

So if you’re..
🤯reading self development book after self development book
🤯Meditating daily
🤯Journalling
🤯Eating as healthy as you can
🤯Moving your body as much as you can
🤯Lacking a support system of incredible women to hold you accountable

And you still feel STUCK!?

Then click the link in my bio and apply to The Goddess Getaway Sedona, spots are already filling up for September.

I boldly guarantee a life-changing experience 🪄

I love that my vibe attracts this tribe ❤️

“Your collaborative dreaming is a heart-inspired win-win, bringing mutual enhancement to yourself and others.”

-an oracle card that bonkz_corey pulled today from the Alana Fairchild deck.

It’s so fitting 🪄

Unpopular opinion: Writing affirmations alone won’t help you. HERE’S WHY 👇

There are two parts to our consciousness: the conscious and the unconscious

I like to think of the conscious as a small room locked inside the big unconscious

When something extremely traumatic happens our small conscious room gets overfilled with emotions and spills out into the unconscious

And then the emotions get trapped in our unconscious mind, which effects the feelings we feel in our body

Our unconscious mind creates feelings in our body from the stored belief and then our conscious mind attempts to make stories around those feelings, further proving the feeling to be “true”

And then we end up replicating traumatic events in our life over and over again 🤯 because that same feeling keeps coming back so we create stories similar to what we are familiar with (aka the first traumatic event that kick started all this)

This negative baggage hanging out in our unconscious mind is programming that causes us to go further into our head to avoid feeling the emotion

And then we TRAP the emotion inside us as we create more and more stories around it. And as a result, we get physical symptoms such as pain, insomnia, digestive issues, ect.

Even if your conscious mind tried to rationalize that you are over the initial traumatic events, the event still lives in your subconscious

And that’s why affirmations alone do not work

You need to get into the subconscious mind and learn to reprogram your way out, that’s why shadow work is so popular these days

Tapping into the subconscious is key if you want to manifest. Curious how you do this?

I’m so friggen excited about my 6-week online manifestation retreat. I show you how to REALLY manifest, not just say your manifesting 😏

Using shadow work, human design, and my signature manifestation process, you WILL feel the difference. I’m SO excited to show you the way, link in bio to claim your spot! We start on July 19th ✨

This is for the woman afraid to step into her powe

This is for the woman afraid to step into her power💥
For the woman who doesn’t understand how to embody their innate goddess energy ⚡️

YOU GET TO TAKE THE LEAP 🏃‍♀️

Because taking the leap is how your going to ascend

And trust me, I know it’s scary because I've been there too
Dreaming up all the dreams, and being too afraid to take action
Unsure where to even start!
Not trusting yourself, and questioning whether you even have an intuition

To achieve all the things you want to achieve...
It takes building your intuitive muscle
It takes building a supportive community
It takes FULLY knowing yourself
It takes doing the shadow work necessary to remove the energetic blocks holding you back

And you know what else it takes?

It takes leaning into YOU and who YOU really are to create the magic your dreaming up in your life

And that is why I am super excited to announce my Summer Magic ONLINE 6-week retreat to show you how to do just that

We are going to be diving deep into the most powerful activities we do at The Goddess Getaway, including the famous Goddess Manifestation Workshop

In 6-weeks, you will:

🪄Find clarity on your dreams and life goals and how to take action on them
🪄Build a supportive community of soul sisters
🪄 Know what it FEELS like to embody your highest self
🪄 Understand your Human Design and how to make decisions based on your unique design
🪄Remove emotional blocks holding you back from becoming your highest self

Each person gets a 60-minute human design reading and 90 minute 1:1 shadow work session in addition to the weekly group calls, a $1500 value for only $499

THIS IS GOING TO BE LIFE CHANGING, I'M SO EXCITED

I’m only taking 8 spots, and you must apply to get in. The application is in the link in my bio ✨ The retreat starts on July 19th, 2021

Are you trying to find a community of women passio

Are you trying to find a community of women passionate about self-growth, but don't know how?

Let me paint a picture for you:

You’re into health, wellness, and becoming the best version of you

You’re friends are into drinking, sh*t talking, and staying comfortable

You have friends, yet you feel alone and you don't know what to do about it

You may WANT to find your community, but there is something standing in your way:

❌You don't feel worthy of having these new high level friends so you keep the old ones
❌You don't know where to find these new friends so you don't try
❌You try to make new friends, but energetically something isn't lining up

GIRL, I get it because I used to feel the SAME way

Here’s the deal

❇️Energetically, as long as your hoarding old friends, you’re blocking yourself from new friends who you resonate with more (the mindset of your old friends is rubbing off on you and making it hard for you to see your OWN clarity)

❇️If you want to find these new friends, then it's a MUST for you to immerse yourself into your passions and attend events, classes, or groups related to them

❇️You MUST do the inner work for self-discovery and self-love to feel worthy of these new higher level friends

I designed The Goddess Getaway to give you ALL of this- and that is why in only 5-days women’s lives change and they find their soul family

The Getaway is a place for you to do it all:
1️⃣Heal your relationship with food
2️⃣Heal your relationship with movement
3️⃣Learn embodiment exercises so you can be the embodiment of self love and your authentic self
4️⃣Find your soul family because you’ll be with a bunch of women on the same mission as you
5️⃣Find collaborations for a business you want to start
6️⃣Learn how to access you intuition so you can find flow in your life

And so much more! Link in bio or DM me for more info in the Next Getaway in Sedona, AZ

I used to believe that I didn’t know how to make

I used to believe that I didn’t know how to make women friends... guy friends though? Those were easy🧞‍♀️

Women scared me 🙇‍♀️

I thought they were catty and judgemental 🤷‍♀️

Every time I would get in a conversation with a women I would overthink everything I said and have a hard time expressing myself authentically

It’s like I had this wall up that I didn’t know how to get past

Yet, when I would talk to men, I’d be so much more expressive and comfortable

I found myself having a lot more guy friends than girlfriends because of this

And you know what?

I had some SERIOUSLY negative stories involving girls, my mom, and women from both my childhood through adolescence

I had:
❌Stories around be abandoned by women
❌Stories of not being good enough for women
❌Stories of being bullied and betrayed by women

And these stories played out over and over again in my life. But, that’s the thing- they are just stories

And once I had that awareness, I started healing my relationship with the feminine

I took the leap and attended my first women’s retreat

I was nervous, not knowing what to expect and wondering if I could actually be myself

And it ended up being the experience that finally blew me open

I met so many amazing women in such a safe container that it was easy for me to let me guard down

I finally had a reason to change my story

So I attended more and more women’s retreats

And now I run my own retreats- because I love women that much, the love and support that comes from having a core group of women in unmeasurable ❤️

Remember this...

You are on your OWN timeline

Just because you wrote down something you want to manifest by a certain time and it didn’t happen by that time, doesn’t mean it isn’t coming!

I like to think of manifesting a goal like an imaginary stair case I’m building as I climb

Every time I take a step forward into the unknown, I trust another step will form beneath my foot

I know the next step will form no matter what action I take because every action I take towards my goal counts

And I know not every action will provide the same amount of forward momentum

Sometimes I try something out and it doesn’t work

And in those cases, the next stair is a little step up from the last one (because we learned)

Sometimes I take action on something that feels really good and it works out better than I could of imagined

That action forms a bigger step on the stair case

Sometimes the action I take is so intuitive and impactful that several steps are formed with one giant leap

The giant leaps are now happening more and more. You want to know the secret to taking more giant leaps?

It’s consistently building stair cases and taking action on your feelings so you learn what intuition really feels like

When we manifest from intuition and love rather than fear and scarcity, our manifestations sky rocket

Instead of forcing water up stream, it’s easily flowing down

And that’s exactly why the manifestation process that I teach at The Goddess Getaway is so impactful. We combine intuition, manifestation, and the power of the collective energy of the women in the group to supercharge your manifestations

And the more people you speak your manifestations to the faster they will happen

It’s not magic, it’s the natural flow of the universe✨
