#MamaSpringBreak 2023
business & ADventure RETREAT DETAILS
Dear friend,
I am thrilled to invite you to join me LIVE for #MamaSpringBreak in Arizona, April 13-15, 2023! You are a confident, capable, caring leader. You’ve come far in your business ($100K up to multi-million-level) and have a big vision for your future. In this group, we are ALL big-thinking entrepreneurs and mothers. With an intimate group of hand-selected, diverse 6-8 women we’ll be learning with—and from—each other. We are different in many ways but all committed to our babies and businesses.
This weekend is time and space to talk real numbers, be open about struggles, and boldly share big business dreams. I picture us crying, laughing, and connecting deeply. As heart-powered women, we’ll all come away smarter for 2023.
Below you’ll find details about the retreat: where, what to expect, what to pack, etc.
Much love,
Crystalee Beck
Co-founder, The Mama Ladder

WELCOME TO Create-Our-Own Content LEARNING
Let’s learn from each other with create-our-own-content that’s personal, relevant, and valuable! Please add your burning business questions to the Talk & Tackle list. Come ready to share lessons you’ve learned the hard way and rarely talk about. We will take turns being group guides for 30 minutes. This can look like a presentation, activity, or thought-provoking questions. Do your thing! To help: What is your unfair advantage or business super power as a mom business owner? THAT is the gold we want you to focus on in your 30 minutes. Please add your topic by December 18.
