Retreat
5 days. 20 women. Puerto Vallarta.
Sailing. A private villa with a pool. Creative outlets.
Safe adventures—snorkeling, hiking, horseback riding to a waterfall.
And the kind of connection that actually sticks.
This is not a conference. It's a reset.

The Experience
We're not just doing a checklist of activities. It's a handful of days to exhale, to create, and to connect--with a new place, with new people, and with yourself.
You're invited to be curious, to be present, and to let the rest unfold.
The Flow
Our days will have a natural rhythm.
Mornings are for gathering. For creative workshops, for conversation over coffee, for setting an intention before the day takes shape.
Afternoons are for adventure, big or small. We will sail Banderas Bay on 47-foot Catamaran Michele, ride horses through the jungle to a hidden waterfall, or wander through a local market.
Evenings are mostly for long dinners, for mezcal tastings, for the kind of stories that only come out after the sun goes down. We might go salsa dancing. One night will be reserved for the Million Dollar Sleepover exercise.
There is always space. And there is no pressure.
The Million Dollar Sleepover
This isn't a passive vacation. It is a gathering of women who are building, leading, and shaping the future of healthcare—and who know that the best conversations happen when you're not wearing a name tag.
As part of our week together, we will host a dedicated session rooted in the "Million Dollar Sleepover" ethos. This is part mastermind, part skill-share, and part celebration.
Here's how it works:
Celebrate Wins: Share what you're proud of. The victories--big or small--deserve to be seen.
Ask for What You Want: Bring a challenge, a goal, or an idea you are sitting on. Let the group help you move it forward.
Share Your Wisdom: We'll host a peer-driven skill-share where our experiences become the curriculum.
The Villa
We'll be based at a beautiful private villa with a pool, perched with a view of the Pacific.
It's a place that feels like home the moment you walk in—a sanctuary where the only agenda is to reset.
Join Joy , Grace, and Rebecca Love
I'm Joy Rios, founder and host of HIT Like a Girl podcast and community.
Together, with Grace Vinton and Rebecca Love, we are creating this retreat because we believe that the best ideas, the deepest connections, and the most profound rest don't happen when you're pushing through--they happen when we give ourselves permission to pause.
We would be honored to have you join us for an intentional reset.
20 Spots. That's it.
This retreat is intentionally small.This is for you if you need a reset—or just need permission to pause.
We are building this group carefully because the quality of conversation depends on the people in the room. If this feels like it is calling you, We would love to hear what you are working on and what you hope to find here.
We'll reach out with more info.

Different dates? Different group? Different vibe? I also design private retreats for groups of 8-10 women—perfect for your team, your closest colleagues, or a group of friends who need a reset.
