Powerful Resources from 10 Years of Retreat-Leading Experience
About Darla
There are two things that have made a difference for me more than anything else on my journey to right here.
- Alignment. Aligning with my spiritual Truth has created a priceless internal freedom.
- Retreats. Connection heals and healing frees. To risk being truly seen, in a retreat community, creates permanent transformation.
Kurt Wright said, “We can only trust that part of ourselves that we have revealed to another person and had validated instead of violated.” This simple statement demonstrates why small, safe-space, truth-based retreats are such powerful tools for empowerment. Once we experience ourselves in a new way, we can’t un-know who we now are. And live retreats create experiences in a way no self-help book (or virtual program, or information-packed big event) ever could.
If you are someone who creates a safe space of non-judgement in which people can share their Truth (or people just tend to tell you stuff), or if you love to dig into the root cause of an issue to shift it at its core, you might a transformational entrepreneur and a powerful retreat leader.

One of my client groups has a challenge this month. Each person set a revenue goal for May. When the ENTIRE group makes their goal, I will buy each of them a massage. Something they all said they wanted. The goals range from $5,000 to $35,000, and were set to stretch...
Don’t Do It All But Do It Well
I attended an event a few weeks ago at which I explored the exhibit hall and visited with several sponsors. As a business coach it’s fun for me to see the clever ideas at the booths, and especially to watch the follow up strategies. As I said, the event was a few...

I was at an event recently in which the host opened up Q&A to her panel of coaches. A guy went to the microphone and asked a question. He had just landed a big client and wanted to know how to use that momentum to help him get more clients. He spent a bit of time...
You Don’t Need A Damn Website
I love branding, and there's no better place to show what you and your brand stand for then on a great website. But there is an epidemic going around called website shame, and it is killing tons of businesses before they ever get started. My intention...
House Karma and the Perks of Business Clarity
Three years ago, almost exactly, I came to Denver to visit and scope it out as a place to live. Many entrepreneurs I encounter have a dream of being location independent or living in a dream home. In April 2011 I rented a house on VRBO.com (Vacation Rental By...

Bypassing Interruption Upon Re-entry

The Amplification Cycle and Knowing Where You Are
A new teaching I’ve developed for my upcoming event is called The Amplification Cycle. I will use it as the jumping off point for my next couple of articles, as understanding it can really change everything for an entrepreneur. I talk a lot about the idea that...
Being Successful While Hiding
Do you ever find yourself thinking…
I’m not going to take time to share with THAT person because it is probably not a good use of my energy.
I’ve got this GREAT IDEA and once I actually do it, it will be awesome. Until then I’ll keep it under wraps.
More Really Isn’t More – Having Content Discipline
It’s a funky pattern that can happen to the best of us. We want so much to make a difference for people, that we really want to over-deliver. And sometimes we equate over-delivering to giving more and more and more content.
Only less really is more when it comes to content. I’ve learned it firsthand, and have the results to prove it.
Your Secret Money Maker and Why There is No Competition
It was time to update my story. And make it current.
I teach about currency, after all. That is the energy you exchange with people. It has to be building and constructive energy (anabolic), and it has to be current, in order to magnetize the right people in your direction.
When it’s not current, it becomes stale. And stale energy is not attractive.
