You just hosted an incredible retreat. Everyone loved it. The transformation was real. The feedback was amazing…

So why do so many retreat leaders feel completely exhausted — or even emotionally drained — after the event is over?

In this solo episode of Heat Up Your Retreats, I’m pulling back the curtain on something almost no one talks about: post-retreat burnout.

Because the truth is… success doesn’t automatically equal sustainability.

In this honest conversation, I share:

• Why burnout often shows up after a successful retreat
• The emotional and mental load retreat leaders carry behind the scenes
• The hidden pressure to hold space for everyone else
• Why many leaders crash once the adrenaline wears off
• The biggest mistakes that lead to burnout (even when the event goes well)
• And how to recover, reset, and build retreats that are sustainable long-term

If you’ve ever finished an event feeling:

• completely depleted
• emotionally drained
• questioning whether you can do it again
• or wondering why success feels so heavy…

…this episode is for you.

You are not doing it wrong — and you are definitely not alone.

My hope is that this conversation helps you lead from a place of alignment, sustainability, and longevity, so you can keep doing the work you’re called to do without sacrificing yourself in the process.

What if success didn’t have to come at the cost of your peace, your health, or your relationships?

In this heartfelt and honest episode, I sit down with Kayla Masteller to talk about entrepreneurship, burnout, boundaries, and what it really looks like to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it.

Kayla shares her personal journey from hustling and doing “all the things” to realizing that constant grind wasn’t sustainable—and how she learned to shift her mindset, simplify her business, and create systems that actually gave her freedom.

This conversation is for every entrepreneur who has ever felt:

• Overwhelmed by their to-do list
• Pulled in a million directions
• Like success always requires sacrifice
• Or like their business is running them instead of the other way around

In this episode, we dive into:

• How burnout sneaks up on driven entrepreneurs
• The importance of setting healthy boundaries
• Why systems and structure create freedom, not restriction
• How to redefine success on your own terms
• Learning to slow down without losing momentum
• Building a business model that fits your real life
• And the mindset shifts that make sustainable growth possible

Kayla brings practical wisdom, real-life experience, and a refreshing perspective on what it means to lead, grow, and thrive without losing yourself in the process.

If you’ve been feeling stretched too thin, questioning your direction, or craving more balance in your business and life—this conversation will encourage you and remind you that there is a better way forward.

Kayla Masteller is the founder and artist behind Velvet Rose Studios, a faith-driven creative brand rooted in authenticity and storytelling. After surviving a traumatic brain injury during Bible college, she stepped away from art for years. During the pandemic, her husband encouraged her to pick it back up, and that step of obedience reignited both her creativity and her faith. Today, she uses art as a way to share testimony, spark meaningful conversations, and encourage others to live boldly and trust God with their story.
