TTTThe Courage to Begin Again

The Courage To Begin Again

Hello Beautiful Friends,

March always feels like a quiet turning point to me.

The days are getting a little longer, the light feels softer, and nature gently reminds us that life is always renewing itself. It’s a beautiful invitation to pause and reflect on our own lives… and the chapters we may be ready to begin again.

If you’ve been in my world for a while, you know my story.
Years ago, I walked away from a successful corporate career to follow a pull I couldn’t ignore. At 57, I packed up my life and moved to Bali without having all the answers.

I didn’t know exactly what the next chapter would look like. I just knew I was being called toward something different… something more aligned with who I was becoming.

Since then, life has taken me on the most extraordinary journey. Leading retreats around the world, building beautiful communities of women, coaching incredible souls through their own life transitions, and continuing to reinvent myself right alongside them.

And here’s what I’ve learned along the way:

Beginning again isn’t something we do once.

It’s something we do over and over again throughout our lives.

Every new chapter asks us to listen a little more closely to ourselves. To question what no longer fits. To trust the quiet voice inside that whispers, there’s more for you.

So many women feel that pull… but stay where they are.

Not because they lack courage or ability, but because comfort can feel safer than alignment. We convince ourselves that it’s easier to stay the same, even when we know something deeper is calling us forward.

This is actually the heart of the work I do.

Through coaching, retreats, and now retreat consulting, I have the privilege of supporting women who are standing at the edge of a new chapter — whether that means reinventing their lives, rediscovering themselves, or stepping into something they’ve been dreaming about for years.

Recently, I’ve also begun guiding other women who feel called to become retreat leaders themselves. Helping them bring their own visions to life and create meaningful experiences for others is incredibly fulfilling and feels like such a natural evolution of my work.

And the truth is… I’m still beginning again too.

Life continues to expand in beautiful ways. I’m currently developing more retreats within the United States, including shorter wellness experiences in California this September and October for women who want a powerful reset, renewal, or transformation without needing to travel internationally.

Because sometimes what we need most is simply space…
space to breathe, reconnect with ourselves, and remember what truly matters.

I believe with my whole heart that our lives are not meant to become smaller with time.

They are meant to deepen, expand, and become more meaningful as we grow.

No matter your age, your past, or the chapter you’re currently in, you are always allowed to begin again.

And sometimes the life you’re dreaming about isn’t waiting years from now…

It’s waiting for one brave decision.

A Question for You to Reflect On

If you allowed yourself to truly begin again in this season of your life…
what would you change, create, explore, or say yes too?
Sometimes simply asking the question opens a door we didn’t even realize was waiting for us.

A Few Opportunities If Your Heart Is Calling

If Greece has been whispering to you, there is still a small window of opportunity to join us. There are just a few spots remaining for the Goddess Rising Retreat in Greece this May and June, and registration will be closing by May 1st. You can get the details here: https://www.cheryldavenport.com/greece-2026

These retreats are truly something special — a beautiful blend of stunning Greek islands, incredible food and wine, cultural experiences, meaningful conversations, laughter, and the kind of sisterhood that often becomes lifelong friendship.

If you’ve been thinking about it… this might be your moment.

And if you’re feeling called to begin again in a different way, my private coaching is always available for women who are ready to explore what their next chapter could look like and want guidance, support, and accountability along the way.  Book your complimentary discovery call here: http://www.cheryldavenport.com

I’ll also be sharing more soon about a few shorter wellness retreats in California this September and October — perfect for women who are craving a meaningful reset but may not have time for an international trip.

Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you remember this:

You are never too late.
You are never too old.
And your next chapter is still waiting to be written.

With love,
Cheryl

Hello dear friends,  

If you missed the kick off call for The Sisterhood Rising I’ve done a little recap for you.  We had 25 incredible women on the call, we laughed, we cried, and we connected deeply to each other. My heart is full. 💖 
It was a vulnerable share but I felt like I needed to share a little bit of my back story...

My Story: From Feeling Stuck to Creating a Life I Love

I know what it’s like to feel stuck, alone, or unsure of what’s next. But I also know what’s possible when you surround yourself with the right people and have support!

In 2015, on the outside, my life looked incredible. I had a beautiful home on three acres, a great corporate job, financial security, and my daughters were living their own amazing lives. But I felt empty and out of alignment with my purpose. I had played it safe for far too long.  I was stuck, unsure of who I was or what I wanted next.

A pivotal moment came when I went through a painful breakup. I had built a life that demanded I work two jobs just to sustain it. Was this really it? Was this what I was meant to do until retirement? Overwhelmed, heartbroken and exhausted, I knew I needed a major shift.

So, I did something radical. I booked a solo 17-day trip to Thailand and Bali. That trip changed everything. I fell in love with Bali and started a side hustle—a clothing business. Five trips and two years later, in 2017, I took the leap. I left my job, sold my home, and moved to Bali with just two suitcases.

That year became a deep journey of self-discovery. Yoga, meditation, healers, therapy, workshops, coaching—I treated my healing like a full-time job. Those first two years I also built my clothing business, got my coaching accreditation, and hosted my first retreat in 2019. I was on my way…or so I thought.

Then 2020 hit. The world shut down. I returned to the U.S. with no home, no job, no income, and no plan. I had to start over. Fear was a constant companion, but I kept moving forward. I built my coaching business, moved to Mexico, and started planning my next retreats. I lived with one foot on the gas and one on the brakes for years. But mindset work, intention, action and lots of meditation helped me push through. Faith + Action = Miracles

Fast forward to 2025: I now lead retreats in Bali, Italy, Mexico, and Greece, coach women through major life changes, and split my time between Mexico, Bali, and Italy. But there was still one thing missing—a way to support women beyond the retreats, to help them continue their growth and connection and to support the women that may not be able to join us on retreat.

That’s why I created The Sisterhood Rising.

Doing It Scared, Doing It Awkward, Doing It Anyway!

How do you want to FEEL in 2025?

Your energy is everything. Have you ever met someone who lights up the room without saying a word? Or someone who leaves you feeling drained? That’s energy. Everything is energy. It’s either flowing or resistant.  When your energy aligns with your desires, you become a magnet for what you want. That is why we need to focus on the FEELING.

Let’s align with that energy now:

• Think of a time when you felt the way you want to feel in 2025 or a moment you felt so much gratitude. Let yourself sink into that memory. Feel it.

• What made you feel that way? What can you do more of?

• Meditation can help shift your energy. Even 10 minutes a day can take your foot off the brake and allow flow into your life. 

If you fully trusted yourself, what bold move would you make this year?

Why are we not all doing this and what gets in the way?

Fear & Limiting Beliefs:

Fear can paralyze us. The bigger the dream, the bigger the fear, the more we grow. We grow to size.  Can I share something…I’ve wanted to create this Sisterhood since 2019. What took me so long? Fear! But I’m doing it scared anyway. And that’s okay. You don’t have to do it alone. When 1 woman makes it and pushes through her fear she makes room for other women to come with her!  It’s not ‘look at me, it’s come with me’!

Ask yourself:

• Where do I feel the most resistance?

• Is this fear really true?

• What’s one small step I can take?

Your thoughts create your results. Circumstance ➔ Thoughts ➔ Feelings ➔ Actions ➔ Results. Shift your thoughts, shift your life.
