The
Ultimate Bleisure
Weekend
Gold Coast | 27–29 August 2026
A midyear reset for women building lives they love now.
At the start of the year, you probably set goals, made plans and got excited about what was ahead.
And then life evolved.
Business shifted. Opportunities appeared. Priorities changed. Life moved quickly.
That’s why I created The Ultimate Bleisure Weekend, a space to step away for a few days, reconnect with yourself and check back in with what you truly want moving forward.
This weekend is about creating space to slow down, think clearly again and reconnect with yourself outside the usual routines, responsibilities and noise of everyday life.
Because when we give ourselves room to pause, we often find the clarity we’ve been searching for.
And while this retreat is about reflection and recalibration, it’s also about allowing in some joy.
Having fun.
Feeling inspired.
Meeting incredible women.
Experiencing somewhere beautiful together.
There’s something special that happens when we travel somewhere new and step outside our normal environment. We see things differently. We reconnect with ourselves differently too.
This weekend is designed to bring all of that together.
We don’t separate work and life, because they naturally meet every single day. We talk about business, family, relationships, goals, travel, dreams, challenges and everything in between.
We celebrate what’s working, acknowledge what’s changing and create space for what’s next.
And for this weekend, at the very least, everything is taken care of.
The Experience
We’ll be staying at QT Gold Coast in their exclusive private cabins, a hidden pocket of the hotel that most guests never even know exists.
I discovered the space during a full tour of the property, and the moment I saw it, I knew it had to be the home for this retreat.
Tucked away from the energy of the city, the cabins feel like a private oasis while still being connected to everything QT is known for beautiful design, incredible food, vibrant spaces and that unmistakable Gold Coast energy.
For the weekend, we’ll have this secluded area to ourselves, while also enjoying access to the rest of the hotel, pool, spa and surrounding spaces.
Think beautiful shared meals, poolside chats, slow mornings, fireside evenings, sunset drinks, meaningful conversations, laughter and room to breathe.
Alongside the rest and connection, we’ll also move through intentional workshops and conversations designed to help you reconnect with yourself, your goals and the next chapter you’re stepping into.
You’ll leave feeling refreshed, inspired and clearer on where you want to head next.
