Imagine escaping winter and enjoying drinks on a rooftop with a gorgeous pool and even more stunning view of the city skyline. Imagine meeting 60 other women just like you, who want to change their finances, but more importantly, change their life.
Imagine learning from money experts on what to actually do with your money and have an action plan, instead of keeping your head in the sand. Imagine what it would feel like to no longer have that lingering anxiety and stress about money. Instead, a feeling of control and empowerment, and dare I say, enjoyment.
At Lola Retreat LA, this is what we’re going to do. We’re going to convene at the Ace Hotel in Downtown LA, enjoy the 24-hr taco stand right next door (have you had legit Mexican food? OMG) and get inspired, connected, and empowered.
I am beyond honored to share our badass lineup of babes and sessions.
Ever deal with scarcity mindset, feeling like there’s never enough? Do you feel shame, anger, fear around money? We have Scarcity, Fear and Failure: Dealing with Unpleasant Emotions Around Money with financial therapist Amanda Clayman.
Want a crash course in budgeting, credit, taxes and more? We have TedX speaker and author Natalie Torres-Haddad teaching us How to Be Financially Savvy in 20 minutes.
Feel like the rent is too damn high? Learn how to save and pay off debt while living in a high cost of living city with Johanna Porter.
Wonder what to do if you want to buy a home or become a parent? Or figure out how to deal with divorce or caring for your elderly parents.
You won’t want to miss the panel discussion on preparing your finances for big life events with New York Times writer Kristin Wong, financial journalist Miranda Marquit, and author Tonya Rapley.
Also, I’m so excited to share another juicy session. Why diet culture is making you broke by “non-diet dietician” Melissa Burton. How many of you are thinking (and freaking out) about dieting in the new year? Learn how the diet and wellness industry is making you broke, messing up your mind and more.
Lastly, we have entrepreneur Audrey Bellis teaching “Getting Paid is Her Forte” all about building streams of income, a side hustle, and a business.
Want more info? All of the full session descriptions are on the site. We’d love for you to join us in LA over President’s Day weekend.
Escape the winter, take advantage of a long weekend and get your money on. LA is not just traffic, pollution and fake tans, I promise. I’ve been known to give out some great recommendations as I’m an LA native. Let me share my hometown with you.
