A 7-Night Retreat for Women · Scotland
Where authority replaces approval.
Where wisdom meets appetite.
October 10–17, 2026·10–16 Women·$6,500
There’s a specific kind of tired that high-capacity women know.
Not burnout, exactly. You’re still performing. Still delivering. Still the one people come to when things get complicated.
It’s more like this: you’ve been carrying so much for so long that you’ve forgotten what your arms feel like empty.
At some point the question shifts. It stops being How far can I go? and becomes Is this even the terrain I want to be on?
That question doesn’t reward grit. It rewards honesty.
What This Is
The Back Half is seven nights in Scotland for women who’ve lived full, complex lives and are ready to align what comes next with what they now know.
Not reinvention. Alignment.
Not a wellness escape. Not a leadership bootcamp. Not a spa week dressed up as personal development.
This is for women who’ve built something real and want the next chapter to match what they actually know. Women who’ve been impressive long enough and want to be congruent instead.
One-on-one coaching. Community (with full choice.) Walks that let the land do half the work. Nature. History. Night sky. Adventures that strip away pretense and leave you utterly present — held by 35+ years of experience and a guide who won’t let you perform your way through it.
The Experience
Every day holds a different rhythm — some structured, some wide open. Here’s what weaves through the week.
Private sessions with 35+ years of depth behind them. Not surface-level goal-setting — the kind of conversation that rearranges how you see your own life.
Group dialogue drawn from decades of holding space for people at real turning points. Not therapy. Not a workshop. Skilled companionship through the questions that matter most.
Scotland’s iconic peaks — over 3,000 feet of ancient landscape beneath your boots. The most important conversations tend to happen when you’re slightly out of breath.
The shock of Scottish water strips away everything performative and leaves you completely, electrically present. Optional — and unforgettable.
An ancient practice in patience, trust, and releasing control. You cannot grip a raptor. You can only hold steady and let it choose you. A metaphor that follows you home.
Scotland’s national spirit, taken slowly. Three glasses, no rush. Less about expertise and more about savoring something crafted with patience and time. NA options abound as well.
Walking through centuries of history. Structures that have survived storms, sieges, and reinvention — and are still standing. Sound like anyone you know?
Gathered around a long table, unhurried. Local ingredients, custom chef prepared deliciousness, the kind of meals that stretch into evenings because no one wants to leave.
The white space that high-capacity women never give themselves. Room to think, wander, write, nap, or simply be. It turns out to be the most important time of all.
“I went to Scotland expecting to rest. What I didn’t expect was how the landscape would rearrange me. Scotland doesn’t perform beauty. The weather doesn’t accommodate you. And there’s something about standing in a place that has endured for centuries that makes your own need to prove yourself feel very small — in the best possible way.” — Moe Carrick
Who This Is For
If you’re looking for a structured program with workbooks and action plans, this isn’t it. If you want a luxury vacation with some inspiration sprinkled on top, this isn’t it either. This is for women willing to sit in honest conversation — with themselves, with each other, and with a guide who won’t let you perform your way through it.
Where You’ll Stay
An 800-year-old Highland estate in Perthshire, Scotland
Nestled in Glenisla in the Scottish Highlands, Brewlands Estate has held people for eight centuries. The historic Lodge sleeps up to 16 guests across 8 bedrooms — with full concierge, catering, and housekeeping so you don’t have to think about a single logistic.
This is not a conference center. It’s a home — with riverside views, private gardens, and the kind of quiet that makes real thinking possible again.
Your Host
Three kids. A marriage ending. Another beginning. Cancer. Addiction in the family. A business built from scratch. Thirty-five years of holding space for other people’s hardest moments.
I was very good at holding things together. What I didn’t notice was how much of my identity had fused with endurance.
The shift didn’t come from trying harder. It came from finally asking a different question: What is actually mine to carry — and what have I just been volunteering for?
That question changed everything. My business. My relationships. My body. My next decade. And it’s the question at the center of The Back Half.
I’ve spent my career making workplaces fit for human life. This retreat is the distillation of everything I know about what happens when high-capacity people finally stop performing and start choosing.
