Macie: Hi friends, welcome back to another episode of This Is Not Your Practice Life podcast. My name is Macie and today's episode is actually a bonus episode that I'm so excited to bring you to let you know what I have going on right now that you can take advantage of and why you may want to do that. So I have been coaching now for eight years, but I have been in this work myself as a client for 10. So it feels like a very special year this year. It's a decade of the fact that I took control of my life. I recognized that there were things that weren't working well for me, things that I wanted to change, things that I knew I could be better in. I took charge ⁓ my life, stopped being a victim, stopped blaming the world, stopped blaming everybody else.
and decided to invest in myself both financially and time to build the skills that I now teach on this podcast and now equip my clients with through my programs. something that has been a dream of mine for the decade, the last decade, it was getting to a place eventually where I in integrity as a leader to ⁓ host retreat a lifetime in my favorite place on earth and it's not Disney World. It is actually over in Italy. I love Italy. My husband and I went in 2018 for the very first time. It had been a dream trip and it was nothing short of that. When we went when I when my feet hit the ground in Italy, I felt like I had been there like I had this out of body experience. I felt like I was meant to be there.
And we began dreaming right away in so many ways of how Italy was going to forever be a part of our life. On the entrepreneurial side, I also knew very on in my business that ⁓ I day wanted to host a retreat of that caliber. And I didn't know what it would look like. And I didn't know how long it would take me to feel ready for something that big, but By the end of this year, I will have hosted six retreats, five of which were in the United States, one that was international in Mexico. And come 2028 will be 10 years since I've been in Italy, but it will, which is crazy to say, ⁓ it will also be the 10 year anniversary of being a business owner and coaching women. And that point it will be 12 years that I've been immersed in the work.
And I thought, I really want to go to Italy, but here's what I know in 10 years of being in this work and eight years of being a coach and leading women in emotional intelligence. It's one of those experiences that I know are going to require. a lot of skill out of the women that go and a lot of emotional intelligence and regulation because there are natural stressors that happen just from being in another country, traveling far. There are natural things that happen just in being around other women and doing things you don't normally do. ⁓ lot of times at retreats, ⁓ we experience things like, am I worthy of this? Is this okay? This is so grand. This is an experience people like me and I'm putting that in air quotes, don't get to have.
with that comes natural humanness. And so what I have known for ⁓ last decade that I've been dreaming of this trip, I knew that I had to be ready to hold the standard of something like having a retreat in Italy. I also knew the kind of women that I wanted to be there and that's women that have immersed themselves in a lot of this work that operate. ⁓ at the highest level with the highest levels of integrity, honesty, authenticity, and most importantly, really high levels of emotional intelligence. And so this trip will come in 2028. It will not be open to the public and it will only be open to women who have deeply immersed themselves in my core programs and prerequisites. in which case they can apply and there will be an application process to make sure that the women that go and the group that's curated a very healthy group of individuals who know how to practice this skill and lean on these skills often.
Because the most important thing to me in my communities is ⁓ being able to ⁓ show up and be human and yes, have room for error and mistakes because none of us are going to be perfect, but that ultimately their safety and their and that the experiences that women get in my communities are enriching. So a leader, ⁓ know that in order to pull something off like that in twenty twenty eight, I have to be the person that adequately creates and prepares things for women to even get that opportunity. And in general, even if you never would want to go to Italy, even if that is not your MO, if that is not something you've ever dreamed of doing, that's okay. My goal as a business owner and as an emotional intelligence coach is to equip as many women in the world and create this ⁓ society essentially of very high emotionally intelligent women because So much good comes from it.
We make more money. We have better opportunities, both career, professionally, personally. Our friendships are stronger and like there's just so much that comes from it. Our family relationships are better. Our marriages or our partnerships are better. Everything gets better when we ⁓ actually focused on our emotional intelligence skills. And I want to bring as many women as that that. in the space where we're doing it together. And again, where there's that balance of human-ness because we're not going to be perfect robots, but there is also just this enriching place to land when life is life-ing, when life is really hard, when things aren't perfect or going the way that we want it to we know we've equipped ourselves with skills and we have women that will hold themselves accountable.
And that is the whole goal of my life as an emotional intelligence coach to make everybody's life feel fulfilling and good and be equipped with the skills that get them there. So over the last eight years, I've created lots of different opportunities for people to work with me and different programs from foundational to advanced ⁓ over the course of doing these programs and hosting these programs and having lots and lots of women come through them, I've also been able to spot like what's missing, what's still not landing, what do I need to explain better, what do I need to get better in my own coaching in order to get them the results that they want and the results I want them to have. And it's been really many years.
⁓ even with my own work, 10 years, a decade of trial and error and figuring out what works and what doesn't work and what do we do differently launching programs and seeing where they're thriving and where they're still struggling and putting work together that addresses everything that's coming up because if you're investing your time and you're investing your money, I want you to get results. Just like with my coach, I was investing really money that I didn't have. and time that took away from, took away is in quotes too, but took away from other things I could be doing, whether it was mindless things that didn't matter or things that really did matter. It was important to me and so I wanted results and she delivered that and that's what I want to do for my clients.
So here is where I'm at. Here's what I want to announce and share with you. If you've been a podcast listener for a long time, or maybe not even a long time, but you've listened to a few episodes, you've wondered what it would be like to hire a life coach, an emotional intelligence coach to be exact, how it could change the entire trajectory of your life in the best ways. If you've ever ventured onto my website and you've seen the different offers that I have and you've wondered like, ⁓ I don't even know what I would need or what I should invest in or what order or what would be best for me. If you've ever ever in your life mulled over coaching. This year and this opportunity is one for the books and what I am calling the creme de la creme of a coaching experience.
And that is called the immersion collection. I'm so excited to tell you about it. It is my core programs and my best EQ work that I structuring into a one experience. So a decade of trial and error on my part. part, a decade of sweat equity, a decade of trying and failing and starting over and creating and just so much work over 10 years condensed into a one year experience for you called the immersion collection. You get to experience bit of the core programs that I have to offer. So you don't have to wonder which one is best. What order do they go into? You get to spend a year with me immersed in everything that will build your skill from foundational to advanced from April 27th, 2026 to April 27th, 2027.
And at the end of this year, you are going to feel so much better. You're going to feel so much more equipped in your life. And if by 2028, when it comes around that I open applications for the Italy retreat. and you want to go, you will have been well equipped and prepared to apply to that trip. OK, so it's not something you have to do, but it is something that you can equip yourself for because I'm going to be very strict on the application process and who gets to go that wants to go. OK, this being said, ⁓ are going to get an entire collection of my workbooks ⁓ a calendar. And I want to tell you something about this. The immersion collection is not meant to take away a lot of your time or to be something that dysregulates your nervous system because it's everything.
I can understand where as someone listening to this and being like, ⁓ I'm going to go through the whole process. They might feel like how much time is that going to take? So we are going to do this in a very structured and spacious way, because let me tell you something that I value more than money at any level. I value my time. And my time is important to me. And a lot of the reason that I'm even an entrepreneur and why I do what I do outside of my purpose driven, you know, mission of what I want to do with women is because I like to choose how I spend my time. My time is valuable to me. My time is everything and it matters to me. And so I try to create things for women that also honors and values their time, whether that is their main ⁓ driver in life, know, time over money or not.
And so with this being said, the way that I've designed this year inside of the immersion collection is that you will start with the foundational things like one-on-one coaching, which you get at an entire workbook. So you're never confused on what you may want coaching on. And we're going to do that for 10 weeks. And then there's spacious breaks and it goes so on and so forth with every single one of my programs. in a very organized structure that doesn't take a lot of your time up to at the very max, depending on what it is, it will take an hour and 20 minutes of your time a week. That is the maximum. outside of that, mostly it's usually going to be anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, maybe an hour.
OK, so ⁓ of spaciousness, lots of opportunity for you to grow, but not in a way that compromises you know, the way that you want to spend time with your family and your friends and how you value spending your free time. So you're going to get a lot, but not a lot is going to be asked of you other than show up for yourself. Show up seriously, take the bull by the horns and grab this year and get everything you can from it. But it will still be in a way that honors and respects your time. So. I'm really, really excited about this. you have ever in the entire time you've been in, you know, introduced to me, exposed to me, maybe this is your first time. This is a wonderful way to do coaching. And not only that, but a lot of women come into my world and they do this program and then that program and then this program and then that program.
And over time, that adds up to a pretty, you know, large investment. Absolutely worth it. But it still adds up. And so the way that I'm doing the immersion collection is I have literally included everything, but I've already taken it off $5,000. And you take advantage of the bonuses and the bonus period, it's going to take the value from saving $5,000 to saving $8,000. So ⁓ in to get the details on this, you want to go to macierenae. com Immediately what will pop up is the immersion collection email list or interest list. Sign up for that. ⁓ Hop on a consult. A consult is free and this is an opportunity for me to see where you are in your life. it is a good fit, if it is something that would benefit you and if you and I feel like a good fit because not only do you have to feel that I'm the coach for you, but I also want to feel like you're the client for me that I'm the right person.
If not, I will refer you somewhere else. I'm always honest about that. With that being said, After a console, if you're interested in the immersion collection, you'll enroll. Okay. There are certain bonuses you can take advantage of if you want to. And, ⁓ you will end up with an entire package of all of my works and it will be a very organized, spacious year for you to gain skills from the very beginning all the way to that super advanced work towards the end. so I'm really excited to bring this to my audience and to just offer something that eliminates any kind of confusion about what you need and when you need it and the order you need it. And instead just be like, all I need you to do is to commit to your growth and show up for yourself for one year.
Let me pour into you what I, what has taken me 10 years. Let me pour into you in one immersive year. And then if you so choose to decide that you want to apply for something as big and awesome as the Italy trip in 2028. I will know that I have well equipped you and that you have gone through the process as long as you're showing up for yourself and you're actually doing the work that you've equipped yourself from the foundational level skills all the way to the advanced skills. And that can be the trip of a lifetime. If you choose to go, if you never choose to go, you are still going to walk away with a completely different set of skills and a completely different kind of life as far as maybe.
wherever you're feeling unfulfilled and not totally great, you will feel great at the end of this. I promise you like life changes for the better with emotional intelligence.
