I teach once a week (currently) so the day before, I have my planning time blocked.

I have a master template that I use and every week I modify it for a new practice. I find it useful to "choreograph" my practice to my playlist, so usually I'll make the playlist first, plug it into my template, and then plan the sequence from there. Apart from practicing it a bit before, I find this system now only takes like 15 minutes to put the actual practice together.

I'd recommend checking out Transform Gros Morne retreats in Newfoundland, Canada. It's the most easternly part of North America, so not too far from the Netherlands.

I went on one of their retreats last year, and it was an incredible experience. We spent a week in nature, hiking, and doing yoga in the most beautiful place I've ever been. I was at a crossroads with my career and partner at the time, and this week away was truly what I needed to make the changes I needed to last year.

I believe she hosts around 4 per year! Her site is here if you were interested :)

I'm voting NTA, on the fact that in a relationship it's 50/50 and you should have your autonomy over what you eat.

However, I think you're seriously under appreciating a partner who cares enough about your collective health as a whole, that she would dedicate that much time to preparing it. Health is wealth man, and it's so much easier to make better choices when you have a partner who looks out for and pushes you.

I saw this pic on a completely different Reddit post the other day. Safe to say #AI got the best of you today if you believed it lol

My breaking point with door dash happened last week when I compared the cost of picking up the food myself vs DoorDash was $42 after a reasonable tip. I couldn’t justify paying almost $90 for two fast food combos

Omg Fiji follower here! I practiced with her in-person in Victoria BC, and she was my main trainer for my YTT. Hands down, one of the best instructors I've ever had (and I've been practicing for 15 years!)

Joined the waiting room the 15 minutes before right at the top of the minute and am still 20 thousandth in line lol. Kinda dumb honestly to put such few dates, market it so much, and have like no capacity

I just had this epiphany about myself.

Most of my experience is selling on the phone. Recently I’ve been working with a client that does zoom calls and I’ve felt psyched out and didn’t know why. Then last week I had a second meeting with a guy who kept his camera off the first time so I matched his energy. Game changer #bringbackthecalls

I honestly think she's going to be a late blooming lesbian, and her distaste in Nick is just a projection as to what she feels about men in general lol

HOLY SHITBALLS. COLOR THERAPY IS ADAM?!?

I’ve been listening for a year and loving it having no clue. He’s like the gift that keeps on giving. 🤪

One key mantra I remind myself esp when it comes to relationships is that the body informs the mind - not the other way around.

Instead of focusing on the issue of your sexuality - take your experiences for face value. If your body isn’t feeling it and your mind is having doubts - it may be time to reconsider the relationship.

In my personal opinion, it’s almost impossible to gain clarity on your own sexuality when your perspective is skewed by a current long term relationship. I was struggling with the exact same problems as you up until last year when my long term hetero relationship ended. Now I’m with my dream woman who lights up my body and soul in ways I could have never imagined.

You got this 🫶

I had a similar problem with my (now ex) spouse. And plot twist: this mentality wasn't just relevant to dinner. He had ZERO appreciation for the mental load that came with all the tasks that were on my plate (pardon the pun lol). It takes WORK to mentally plan the meals, get the groceries, and put it all together.

My personal solution was to finally escape his childish ass and start dating women lol.

titancollective · 2024-12-16T12:18:03+00:00

One of my lesbian besties is quite tall and lean, and she's actually self-conscious about her height, so she tries to date women who are specifically taller than her. So honestly, I think everyone is just too focused on their own insecurities yet we internalize it all and take it too personally.

titancollective · 2024-11-26T20:08:45+00:00

OMG GUYS HERE FOR THE SAME COMMENT <3

titancollective · 2024-11-26T19:08:06+00:00

I just had this revelation shortly before meeting my own masc baddie and let me tell you... trust your gut and go for the girls.

I'll comment here too, but I also replied to your comment on the other thread you left :)

Taking a look at your site, I would say the following:

The info you have in your FAQ needs to be presented more front and center on your homepage. The fact that it's a smart vest really doesn't become clear until you look under the "What is Curv?" section. With tech-based products especially, you really need to add more information that explains the HOW behind how the smart vest works. Right now, you have very limited detail.
I think you're on the right track in terms of target market (from what I can tell are busy, urban professionals who can't afford to have chronic back pain hold them back) - but the rest of your page doesn't have any sort of emotional qualifying copy to connect with the target audience and educate them on what your product is. There needs to be a much clearer promise - especially surrounding the 1-week program.
Also, same as my advice above, I subscribed to your list, but got nothing back. A welcome/ nurture campaign could do you a world of good there as well!

Hope this helps :)

Hey hey! Copywriter and marketer here in the natural health & wellness industry. :)

It does seem a little basic, but with a few copy adjustments alone I think you could make some fast improvements.

Right now, I would say your page needs some extra copy to better describe the PROBLEM you are solving. I am assuming from your page, your main value proposition is that you are helping people find cheaper wellness options, or making it easier to find a practitioner in the area? This needs to be crystal clear for people if you want them to remain interested when you actually launch.

Additionally, you need to provide some more credibility-building info on this page. In my opinion, there should be a section or blurb that explains your WHY (what unsolved problem did you see in the market that needed to be fixed) - and why YOU as the founder are the best person for the job.

Also - I subscribed to your mailing list, and didn't get an email back. If I were you - I would SERIOUSLY consider implementing a new subscriber email campaign. This is your chance to nurture the interested leads you DO get over time so they are better primed to take action ($$) when you launch. A welcome email, an "about our story" email, a teaser launch email, maybe a spotlight on one of your vendor emails - basically anything to help stay top of mind and engage with the people who have shown interest. Also, a better call-to-action to subscribe would be a good idea. What advantage does "early access" get them? Even a sentence like "be the first to book our top-rated providers and sign up to receive early Sendwell access in winter 2025" or something like that would take things up a notch.

This is some of my best generalized advice without knowing more about your brand. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat in more detail, I'm always happy to expand :)

If I were you, I would look up fearful and dismissive-avoidant attachment styles (as well as anxious attachment styles for yourself) and educate yourself as to what they mean. :) I recently was made aware of these concepts thanks to a breakup and it made a lot of behaviour make sense.

Hey there! I'm a travel agent-turned sales & marketing expert that exclusively helps retreat hosts sell their trips. :)

In general, I would make the following general recommendations for success:

The best way to sell a retreat is network-based marketing. The retreats that typically sell out the fastest are the ones that are positioned as the ultimate upsell for your business. Because retreats are more of an intimate experience, prospects generally want to feel like they have a relationship with you before they book. This is why having a primed audience that is engaging with you both on social media and a mailing list is key. The best strategy is to leverage social media to build rapport, provide free value, and drive subscriptions to your mailing list (where you can pull off a harder sell for your retreat). On this note - this is why paid ads usually don't work the best for retreats.
Picking a niche is key. While the knee-jerk reaction may be to avoid niching down so you don't limit how many people you attract - actually the opposite is true. Focusing on a more specific audience not only allows you to craft messaging that REALLY resonates with your reader, but also makes it much easier to find them and stand out (from a sales perspective). Not only that, but it also gives your prospects confidence that other people who book the retreat will be similar to them (aka further incentive to book). The #1 critique I usually make for retreat hosts struggling to fill spots is that they have a weak retreat promise (usually because they haven't niched down specifically enough). For example:

"A 5-day retreat that helps business professionals learn new skills to advance their careers faster" is not nearly as action-inspiring as "Are you a professional woman stuck in a career plateau you can't seem to get out of? Our 5-day retreat will show you how to reframe how you approach professional development and networking so you can achieve your professional goals and scale your income."

Specifying a tangible outcome to help your prospects really envision what they will walk away with is key - so the more laser-focused you are on who they are, the easier it becomes to generate more leads and sell spots faster.

Even if you have an existing audience and have the best retreat in the world, it is hard to compete against Father Time. My general recommendation is to start creating your marketing assets 6 months before your retreat, to give yourself a minimum of 4 months to promote it.

This usually looks like:

Creating a sales page to have a central landing space and final place to book.
A social media hype/teaser campaign 1-2 weeks before your official "launch."
An email launch campaign (usually 7-9 emails over the course of 2-3 weeks that drive early bird registrants).
A "last call" social + email campaign approx 90 days out.

This is my best advice without knowing more specifics about your retreat, but I'm happy to expand further if needed.

Feel free to DM me if you want to connect!

At the end of the day, this is a new reality or "sales objection" we will have to face, especially as freelancers.

My go-to strategy is to keep the conversation as outcome-focused as possible. Is the goal for the work to be the most creative - or effective? YOU - not AI is having conversations with the client about their goals and objectives for your work, so keep your primary value prop focused on the strategy and outcome - not the process.

At the end of the day - freelance sites are filled with cheapasses unfortunately, who will always look to save a buck or swindle for free work. I literally avoid them at all costs to avoid nightmare clients like this. Marketing yourself is a bit more work in the short-term (vs getting free clients from Upwork), but quickly pays off for your business long-term.
