Wow this was one for the books. ‘Retreat’ doesn’t do these getaways justice.

Today on Community Kristina and Janette are breaking down not just the ‘what’ behind their last High Vibe Women retreat in Prince Edward County, but also the heart behind it and why they are running it back at the end of January.

They are reflecting on what made this intimate entrepreneurial retreat so powerful and soul-filling, but also so tactical and full of business breakthroughs!

Why every female entrepreneur needs these events:

• The reset and self-connection.
• The rest.
• The community.
• The opportunity to build intentional wellness practices.
• The mindset shift that only happens when you step out of the daily grind.

Every time Kristina and Janette run these events they are reminded that when the right women get in the room together the magic flows.

Whether you’re curious about joining the next one or just need a reminder that you do not have to do this business the way you are currently operating in it, this episode is going to lift you up and spark something new.

The next retreat is happening January 30 to February 1 at The Bruce in Stratford. Spots are already being claimed, so don’t wait!

In entrepreneurship an age-old question is always ‘should I work for free?’

Working for free can open up partnerships and opportunities that would never happen if you were not willing to make the first move.

But what is too much? When might you be better off sticking to paid opportunities?

In this episode of Community, Kristina and Maria are walking you through how to determine when it might be a good time to do some work for free and how to never feel resentful when offering something for free.

Tune in to hear:

• How free work can be an opportunity when done right.
• Our favourite way to test and refine your new offers with real feedback.
• When visibility is worth it (and when it’s not).
• Setting boundaries, contracts, and expectations are ‘free work’.
• How to avoid burnout from over-giving.
• What to ask for in return for your free work (think: testimonials, referrals, content)

Working for free doesn’t mean undervaluing your time. Set expectations and ensure it is an equal energy exchange.

Feeling unsure about a free offer? Listen to this episode before you say yes or no. It might just change your perspective!
