Time, Again: A digital detox story – and a new way of being for solopreneurs, leaders, and seekers featuring Sandrine Kom

Last month I participated in a retreat led by Sandrine Kom that aimed to transform stressed out superwomen into Zen superwomen. I embraced the opportunity, shut off my phone, and spent a glorious weekend free of it and my other devices. In this week’s episode Sandrine interviews me about how I was feeling before and during the retreat and the many ways the experience impacted me and continues to do so daily. Be sure to tune in to our chat and for more information on Sandrine’s work, her book, upcoming retreats, and our May 21 workshop at Il Conventino.
