Lisa has recently returned from a mastermind retreat in San Diego and Karly is back from a weekend away with some fellow clarity-seeking women. While they’re feeling filled up from their experiences, they reflect on the value of getting away from the daily grind, what that does for them and their businesses, and what ‘getting away’ actually looks like in their lives. Karly also looks at her own life and the structure she’s created for productivity and realises she’s created a prison for herself.
