You’ve been playing small. That ends now.
At the 5S's Retreat, we don’t tiptoe around transformation—we dive in headfirst. This isn’t just a retreat; it’s a rallying cry for anyone ready to stop surviving and start thriving.
Imagine a space where your scars are seen as badges of honor. Where vulnerability isn’t weakness but power. Where every moment is designed to help you shake off shame and step boldly into self-love.
You’ve carried the weight long enough. It’s time to shed it and step into the life that’s been waiting for you.
The 5S's Framework: Your Map to Freedom
1:
Shame
(Acknowledge)
No more sweeping it under the rug. It’s time to face the shame head-on and say, “Not today.”
2:
Sabotage
(Identify)
Those self-sabotaging habits? We’re calling them out and
cutting them off at the root.
3:
Shift
(Transform)
New mindset, new rules, new you. Learn to flip the script and start living like you mean it.
4:
Surrender
(Release)
Stop gripping so tight. Let go of the old junk holding you back and
make room for something better.
5:
Self-Love
(Nuture)
You’re not just learning to like yourself—you’re learning to celebrate yourself. Every damn day.

MEET YOUR HOST & GUIDE

Hi, I'm Janet. For years, I felt like I was walking through life with a weight on my chest that I couldn’t shake. My world was turned upside down when I faced the unimaginable—raising a child who was self-harming. The fear, the guilt, the endless questions… it consumed me. I felt alone, stuck in a cycle of heartache and self-doubt. But here’s the thing—I found a way through. It took me four years to uncover the one missing piece of the puzzle. Four years of trial, error, and tears before it finally clicked. And when it did, I knew I’d hit the truth that changed everything. Since then, I haven’t looked back. Do we still have hard days? Yes. Painful moments? Absolutely. But I refuse to let us live in them, and neither should you. That’s why I created Parents Never Give Up. I don’t want any parent to walk this road alone. This is my purpose, my passion, and my promise: to help you find hope, strength, and a way forward. I know it’s not easy. But I also know that together, we can take even the toughest journey and turn it into something meaningful. You are not alone, and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself. I’m here for you—ready to walk with you, cry with you, and celebrate every breakthrough along the way. Let’s take the first step together.

The Movement Doesn't Stop Here

YOUR MOMENT IS NOW
This isn’t for the faint of heart
