Sandra created a robust retreat that seamlessly blended fun, casual activities with athleticism and personal growth. The environment of empowerment and worthiness was built in such a short period of time, making each of us feel seen both individually and as part of a group. It was like being part of a bad-ass girl gang overnight!

The workshops were rich, engaging, and meaningful, while the fun tours and unique local experiences added a special touch. The safe environment allowed us all to thrive. The swag bags and snack bags were incredibly generous and thoughtful. I'm still relishing the energy and experience and cannot wait to see what Sandra does next. I feel so fortunate to have been a part of the first retreat!

I went in with little expectation but came out so energized. I keep telling everyone what an amazing trip I had. Sandra, you are amazing in your own unique way, and you should be extremely proud of pulling this off.

I enjoyed the bonding with everyone—the laughs, the rapport. The tour was amazing. Just having fun and not taking anything too seriously—that's what I love.

The fun and energy everyone brought in were incredible. The location! Location! Location! The atmosphere created by everyone, especially the tone set by Sandra, was perfect. All the accommodations made by the hosts were thoughtful and appreciated.

So much so that my bestie is already on the waitlist for next year! I was very impressed with how well-coordinated and seamless everything was. It was impressive to see that there was really no crisis or chaos, and the experience remained seamless.

Surrounded by the natural beauty and calm of the Adriatic, I had the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect — not only with myself, but with what truly matters. Sandra created an environment that was both grounding and expansive, blending deep inner work with practical insights that I could take home and apply. I left feeling lighter, more aligned, and empowered to lead my life with greater clarity and intention. This retreat was a gift — and an experience I’ll carry with me for a long time.

While I was excited to travel somewhere new and run an incredible race, I was nervous about the vacationing-with-strangers aspect of the trip. What if the group didn't gel? What if I felt awkward or out of place? I didn't need to worry. From the moment I met everyone, it felt like coming home. It felt like where I was always meant to be. I couldn't shake the feeling the entire trip that I was destined to be in that exact place, at that exact time, with those exact people. It was profound and life changing. 

It was also a hell of a vacation. The accommodations were beautiful, the excursions allowed us to explore Dubrovnik without being overcommitted. Every restaurant was incredible. Our seminar with Dr. Jenn Huber was informative, funny, and relatable. Sandra took care of all of the race planning, from sign up to the start line. The love and support from the other retreat members when I crossed the finish line was unlike anything else I have ever experienced. Everyone should get to feel the way that the Run Your Life Retreat made me feel. Period.
