Why do you feel like it's important for women to take

time out? Because they simply need it. Whatever drives you

needs to be fueled. Within our retreats, not only

do you get that chance to rest and rejuvenate, you

actually get to create the connections that a

lot of you, like myself, will be craving. The

healing journey isn't always about a

big dramatic. The thing that came to my mind was that

Exorcist movie. where that like big crazy demon

comes out of you and it doesn't have to be like that and that's the

point of difference for us that we're trying to create within our retreat

is that. Welcome to Krystal Rowe Impacts, a space dedicated

to empowering you to be the change that your bloodline has

been waiting for. Join me and together let's inspire change.

Kia ora whānau and welcome back to the Krystal Rowe Impact podcast.

And I have my amazing husband here, TJ, joining me

today as we talk about the importance of

woman and our time. And so we've actually

created an amazing opportunity for women to

get away and take time to rest,

to rediscover themselves and to find focus

again in such a busy world. Now today,

I do want to share the importance of

connection and sisterhood But it's

not really something that I know much about, if I'm going

to be completely honest. And I'm sure that

a lot of you can resonate when I say that

friendships and sisterhoods and trust has

been broken and the lack

of, what would you call it, competition,

not lack of, the presence of competition within

women these days is so just

full on and it's uncomfortable. And I know

when I grew up, I never really fitted in, but

it was always something that I craved. I

wanted to belong and I wanted to have a

certain group of friends that I grew up through primary school and

high school and into adulthood and I just

don't have that. But what I want to

create is a safe space for women

to have that. So if this resonates with you, this

is an episode for you. I'm going to ask my husband,

why do you feel like it's important for women to take

because they simply need it. They have

their own struggles. Personally, I feel

women have, they can endure

a lot more than men. That's

my opinion. And that comes from

watching my grandmother, watching my mother growing

up, and I have five sisters also. They

can handle, they can hold a lot of problems

in, like their mental well-being,

they can hold a lot in. But

back to the question, why I think it's important is because our

women run our homes, basically. Men have had

the job of protecting and providing, but if our women

ain't at home, keeping

that house on lock, holding

that safe space, there's only so much she can

do. So they too need that time away to

Yeah, 100%. And I think too, when... you

know, society puts so much pressure on

humans, both men and women, to be

perfect and portray this perfect image and to

have the house kept accordingly and,

you know, like, all of those things, which I'm the total

opposite, aren't I, my love? Like, I kind of...

Oh, you go all right, my love. I try not to...

Like, for me, I prioritize a

lot of my mental health. And,

you know, by creating an intentional

space for women to actually step

outside of their normal day-to-day craziness

and interrupting that stressful pattern

that our nervous system is going in all the time and

actually allowing us to rest can be extremely productive.

It can be really, really productive. Can you remember a

time where I seemed very

stressed out. And then even if it was going and taking

Yeah. And that's one thing I love. Every

time you've reached out and said, look, I need to go for

a massage or I need to do something. I

allow that, like, yes, beautiful, because I know you work so

hard and you just, you do

No, it's not the norm. And I never used to be that sort

of, that man. Because growing up,

my grandmother, my mum were so strong. Like

in the physical, I

thought that's just how women are. I never knew

that they too would have been going through some mental problems.

When you're pushed to your limits, like a lot of us are,

I know when I got to my breaking point and I was at the cafe before

you, my love, I had to do everything. And

I too ended up getting coping mechanisms, smoking,

drinking. I couldn't go out or anything because I had nobody

to help me with the kids, but it was just pressure everywhere I

looked. And I actually remember getting

to breaking point and going

on a mini retreat. And it

was a day retreat and it just, it

was so unfamiliar. It was so strange, but

it was so powerful as well. And it actually

allowed me to refocus on

what is important. And that's the power of

the retreats that we are creating. Both together,

having that masculine and feminine energy that

beautifully blends and creates an

environment where people can not only heal, but

they can just surrender. And I think that

creating such a space that's

different to everything else that's happening is at

the moment. I think that we've learned that the healing journey

and the rest and recover journey isn't always about

a big dramatic, what's the word? Like

the thing that came to my mind was that Exorcist movie, where

that like big like crazy demon comes

out of you and and all of that, like it doesn't have to be like

that. And that's the point of difference for us that we're trying

to create within our retreats. is that people can come as

they are with what they have and then leave with what

they need. And it's not something that

is gonna be invasive or make

you too uncomfortable, but self-paced as

well, which when we have to conform to

a world with certain standards and certain pressures, We

don't want to be that way when they come, when women come

to restore themselves. And also

within our retreats, not only do you get that chance to

rest and rejuvenate, you actually get to create the

connections that A lot of you, like myself,

will be craving. I know that when, for me, when

life gets quite challenging or I'm feeling stressed

out, I have a handful of women that I message

and I say to them, oh, let's catch up. I need to catch up. Or

how are you going? And sometimes that's enough. And sometimes the

catch up gets rescheduled or sometimes that catch

up ends up me having a massage or a coffee

by myself, but it's the intention behind

that, and that intention is connection, and that connection

is what you get at our retreats. That connection is

what actually can bring you home to yourself. And

sometimes that's something that we've been longing for amongst

the chaos of everyday life, whether it's

motherhood, whether it's being the perfect wife, whether it's

the businesswoman. Whatever drives you needs to

be fueled. And that is going to be in

the form of one of our amazing retreats. So if

that resonates with you and you feel drawn to some

time out for yourself. If you're drawn to a

sisterhood connection, if you need to be in a safe space

that you can share, that you can be seen and heard, where

you can let your hair down, then our retreats are

for you. They are a perfect blend of masculine

and feminine. You get the best of both TJ and I,

and it's such an intimate, personal experience that

will allow you to bring the answers

within yourself so that you can create and start

living a life by design. So make sure you follow us on

all social media platforms and we will see
