LED BY CAREER COACH AMANDA JOHANSEN
Successful and You’re Going to Scream the Next Time You Get Pinged on TEAMS
You built the career got the fancy title and money is f*cking fabulous not going to lie… You did all the right things and yet you hate going to work everyday. Not another insecure boss you have to tip toe around. Not another “you have the wrong tone comment on your BS quarterly review” You find yourself thinking “is this it?” I make all this money and I just want to escape.
Hit the pause button on reality. Step away from the noise long enough to hear yourself think. Remember what having fun feels like…and remember those things called naps? You can take one of those too. Apply the same strategic skills you apply at work everyday to planning your life and your next step.
You leave with clarity about who you’re becoming and a tangible plan for what comes next, with a private 1:1 coaching session before you arrive.

Is this for you?
It’s for you if you’re frustrated with a job that looks great on paper and no longer feels like yours. If you’ve been quietly updating your résumé, scrolling job listings late at night, or lying awake wondering whether it’s time to leave. If you know a career change is coming but can’t yet see what it should be, and you’re ready to invest in yourself to work it out.
It isn’t for you if you want a vacation with a few workshops, or someone to hand you the answer.
This retreat hits the reset button. You will find the answers through play, rest, nature, adventure creativity & guided sessions designed to connect you to the real you.
What to expect on every retreat.
Your coaching journey
Before: a private 1:1 coaching session with me, so you arrive knowing what you want from your time away.
During: guided career reinvention coaching, plus rest, nature, movement, creativity and play.
Everything is taken care of.
Every meal, every experience, every detail. Your only responsibility is to arrive, relax, and be open to what unfolds.
This isn’t about blowing up your life or impulsively quitting your job. It’s about seeing your situation clearly and leaving with a plan that fits your real life and finances.

Hi, I’m Amanda
I went from a dirt road in rural Mississippi to closing multimillion dollar deals for some of the world’s biggest companies. After a 20 year career spanning Shell, SAP, ServiceNow, and Microsoft, I walked away. Today, I help ambitious professionals define what comes next.
A Mindvalley certified coach and creator of The Highly Ambitious Woman on Substack, I created these retreats because I know how hard it is to hear yourself think when you’re still inside the noise.
These aren’t retreats I simply put my name on. I lead every coaching session, share every meal, and meet one-on-one with every guest.
Every retreat is an invitation to pause, immerse yourself in nature, play, and connect with new friends asking the same question you are: What’s next?
Together, you’ll step away from the noise long enough to hear yourself again and intentionally define your next chapter.
