Vanessa Ricchiazzi, LVN
wife, mother, author

As a nurse, and being in a 'serving profession', I've lived my life more often than not enmeshing my personal life and my professional life, that looking back, where I wish I could go back and give advice to myself. That advice would be about self-care and valuable time, which should be focused on myself and those that mean the most to me, Yet, we all have bills to pay, responsibilities that take us away, from what matters to our hearts most, and we go through life justifying ourselves that our careers take priority in the moment.

The careers which involve constantly serving others, rather than ourselves, and most often than not, the Best of the Best Nurses, Counselors, Therapists, Social Workers, Ministers, and etc, get burned out. Thus why more than ever, we see the shortages of these professions everywhere since COVID, as it hit the reset button for many women, realizing these professions were not fulfilling the ultimate goal of work life balance. This Retreat is for those women to be served for 3 days and leave with a rejuvenated heart, and living with an everyday sense of fulfillment and strength to serve others, without forgetting to serve ourselves. I hope this Retreat will Transform women who serve for a living and re-spark why they were called to serve others in the first place. I will share in this retreat, the Spiritual aspect involved in serving others, and how the human spirit gets depleted as well as the physical, from my personal and professional experiences that have transformed my life and my passion to continue to serve others for a living.
