Your value is an accrual of experiences! Embrace the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright complicated to awaken your joy!

– Mary Tess Rooney

Value Vault Retreat

We See You.

You feel deflated and frazzled by another 9+ hour day.

You vent to a trusted friend, “I can’t keep going like this. I’m exhausted. I don’t think anyone really appreciates me. The constant demand has me starting to question my value. I might have to start looking for a new job.”

Here’s the reality: You are more than your resume. Your value extends far beyond your professional accomplishments and personal achievements.

Stop the sacrifice. Stop postponing. Stop running on autopilot and blindly prioritizing others above your own personal satisfaction.

 

Start leading with your heart-centered value. Start trusting your inner compass to direct your life. Start appreciating your Heart Value to live a joyous life.

You deserve to transform your life and elevate your Heart Value, joy and relationships!

Our Why

We are building a community of Striders who are committed to making their life the best it can be. Through reflection, action, and support, the True Stride Movement empowers you to feel energized at work, at home, during play and in your community. Because when you are in your True Stride, each step you take feels fluid and frictionless.

Together, we will release what’s holding you back, reclaim your power, showcase your Heart Value and design an EPIC adventure so you can get your stride on.

Value Vault Retreat

The True Stride Value Vault Retreat is designed as an immersive experience to recalibrate your inner compass, reclaim your power and prepare you to enjoy your life’s EPIC adventures!

This powerful three-day retreat will crystalize your vision for where you want to go and give you practical tools, resources and support to navigate successfully. You will be given adventure-based activities, interactive exercises and group roundtables to create a personal action plan that aligns with your Heart Value.

True transformation takes time, but once you trust your inner compass, your impact on the world sparks joy as you move closer to your heart-centered dreams.

Who is this for?
