I Choose To Win’s Win from Within Retreat, held December 13-15, 2024, in the serene Pocono Mountains, was an unforgettable experience for five courageous women who took time to step away from their everyday lives and focus on their personal growth and healing. Over the course of three days and two nights, these women engaged in radical self-honesty, strategic planning, communal healing, and gained clarity on their next steps toward an empowered future as they navigated the WIN THE DAY pocket playbook.
The retreat offered a unique opportunity to gain perspective and insight, as the distance from the hustle and bustle of life allowed participants to reconnect with themselves in a deeper way. “We know that distance allows for a better understanding of who we are becoming versus who we have been,” said Melonie Butler, founder of I Choose To Win.
The weekend was filled with intentional workshops, where participants dug deep into their goals and visions for 2025. And while the work was powerful, we also made sure to balance it with moments of joy and play. A highlight of the retreat was the first snow of the season, adding a magical touch to the peaceful, reflective environment. The snowfall perfectly set the stage for a little “hibernation” and rejuvenation in the mountains.
We are inspired by the women who chose to join us, and we’re incredibly proud of their willingness to do the inner work required to unlock their potential. As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to continue supporting them as they step into the next chapter of their journeys.
Thank you to all the women who made the Win from Within Retreat so special. You’ve truly shown us what it means to win from within, and we can’t wait to see what unfolds for each of you in the coming year!
