Welcome to the last episode of the season... and the last podcast episode of 2024! In this solo episode, I share that I am currently pregnant and getting ready to welcome a second baby girl to our family. With the transition from 1 to 2 kids, I've decided to take the rest of the year off to focus on motherhood and my family. In this episode, I share how and why I'm structuring my maternity leave differently this time around, when we'll be back, ways to continue following and supporting MBOm, ways to keep in touch and more!

Enjoy!

This week on the podcast I am joined by Manu Molina. Manu is originally from Andalusia, Spain but has lived in many places and spent most of his life as a globetrotter. He is on a mission to help yoga and wellness professionals to radically transform their marketing and biz game so that they can navigate the industry fearlessly, with clarity, and achieve sustained success. A big part of Manu's focus is on retreats, both organizing and running his own, as well as supporting other retreat leaders who need logistics, marketing, and organizational support, and this is what we dive into in today's episode. Manu shares his top tips for running successful retreats, including how to choose a length of retreat, a destination, a theme, as well as how to price so that you are profitable, marketing and much more.
