Power of the Pause:
Rediscovery Retreat
Gainesville, FL
January 16-19, 2025
If you’re an accomplished woman yearning for clarity, insight, inspiration and
meaningful connections with other like-minded successful women on the same journey,
then join me for a 4 day immersive retreat to reflect, renew and reset
with purpose and passion for what’s next.
When was the last time you took time to reflect about your future and creating what's next?
Picture this….
Waking up with no pressure of what HAS to get done today… with no responsibility to anyone but yourself. Your heart is full of gratitude at the mere thought! As you look out the window beaming with rays of sunshine, your is heart filled with anticipation for the day ahead and what you will discover next. You feel relaxed and open to receiving. You are ready to be in your body again, to BREATHE and to revel in just BEing and not DOing.
The more connected you are to your Future Self, the better you live in the present.
Dr. Benjamin Hardy

How it all got started
After a 30 year career and building a multi million dollar business developing and training female entrepreneurs in the image and skin care industry, my identity was wrapped around my success as an executive. I was addicted to work and on the hamster wheel of being a top producer, putting my work, my health and others as a priority over myself and other obligations. Then, the parent company closed its doors with no warning.
With over 5000 consultants and 18 high-level leaders and in spite of being stressed out, suffering burnout and the subsequent effects on my health, it was a devastating loss, personally and professionally. To add to that, my sister-in-law and father died unexpectedly just prior and after closing. I was mourning their death and the loss of what I had built, my clients, my support system and huge work family.
Then the pandemic hit…
I was forced to dig deep, begin the healing process, and look within myself to find my joy, my purpose and passion again. I had to take inventory of all my skill sets from a lifetime of self development, and teaching others business skills, mindset, how to look and feel their best, and to incorporate self-care into their home and business lives for success.
It’s always been my purpose and passion to empower women to be their best from the inside out. I was born to do this! I am also a world traveler, in fact in my former business, I earned 30 all inclusive 5 star trips all over the world. I traveled with other amazing like minded successful superstar women. We had SO MUCH FUN creating bonds and life time memories I cherish to this day. It was THIS that planted the seed for this new direction.
The first trip and the last trip I earned were to Paris (no coincidence). It was after a glorious day of shopping and meandering the streets with my BFFs. I thought to myself, “Every woman should experience this level of luxury and relish the feeling of connection and deservingness”. That seed lay dormant until I had done the work, healed and prepared to lead others again on my terms. I would love for you to consider joining me and a handful of other accomplished women through this transformational process.

“Attending ‘The Power of the Pause’ retreat was a transformative experience. In working with Marcella, I’ve gained profound awareness of the reasons I’ve been holding myself back from embracing my full power. Through affirmations and self-reflection, I’ve begun dismantling these inner barriers, setting me on a clear path toward my goals of losing weight, building a meaningful friend base and ultimately, leading a happier, more fulfilling life. The retreat not only helped me understand what was holding me back, but also equipped me with the tools to move forward confidently and with purpose. In just three days, we forged lasting bonds with like-minded women through shared stories, mutual support, and heartfelt connections to create inspiring friendships that have endured long after our time together. This retreat revealed the profound power in pausing to take time to connect with your highest self and create what’s next. ”
