You’ll connect with other military and veteran women who understand your challenges, are also committed to living aligned, purpose-driven lives, and will cheer you on and lift you up as you transform from overwhelmed to aligned, and exhausted to energized.
Plus it’s a cruise…so there will be plenty of amazing food, self-care, adventure, and fun!!
