Attending the Little Pink retreat has had a powerful and personal impact on me. My journey hasn’t been easy I went through cancer, endured treatments, and had to navigate the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that came along with it. Even after returning to work, I was faced with the stress of trying to recover while also repaying wages, which added another layer of pressure during an already difficult time.

Because of everything I’ve been carrying, I didn’t realize how much I truly needed a space to pause and just be. The Little Pink retreat gave me exactly that.

Being surrounded by women who understood my journey without explanation brought me a sense of peace I hadn’t felt in a long time. I was able to open up, release emotional weight, and feel supported in a way that reminded me I’m not alone in this.

This experience helped me reconnect with myself beyond my diagnosis. It reminded me of my strength, my resilience, and the importance of taking care of my whole self not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

I left the retreat feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a renewed sense of hope. It gave me the strength to continue moving forward, not just surviving but truly healing.
