BREATHE, BUILD, AND BE

Welcome to BREATHE, BUILD, AND BE! This is a one-day, action-driven retreat for women who are ready to stop overthinking, get unstuck, and finally take aligned action toward the life God is calling them to live.

Join us at the Epicurean Hotel on January 10, 2026, for a transformational experience that gives you clarity, structure, and a tactical plan you can execute immediately.

This retreat isn't about positive thinking or vague inspiration. It's about movement. If you're tired of starting and stopping… tired of feeling misaligned… tired of knowing you're called for greater but not knowing the steps… this room is for you.

WHY THIS RETREAT IS DIFFERENT

I've been to women's retreats that left me feeling amazing for about 48 hours. Beautiful venue. Inspiring speakers. I cried, I connected, and I went with a notebook full of ideas and a heart full of hope. Then Monday came. And by Wednesday, I was right back in the overwhelm, wondering why nothing actually changed.

Here's the truth: Inspiration without implementation is just expensive entertainment.

That's why BREATHE, BUILD, AND BE is built differently. You're not leaving with just ideas, you're leaving with your unique blueprint... YOUR P.A.T.H. FORWARD, my coaching framework used by CEOs, entrepreneurs, and leaders who have achieved 100%+ success rates. If you do the work, you CAN’T LOSE!

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE DOING

BREATHE. We're hitting pause on the chaos and noise. You'll slow down long enough to reflect on what you've actually accomplished, identify where you've been successful, and get crystal clear on who you really are and the work you're meant to be doing. It’s time to stop operating on autopilot. No more letting other people's definitions of success drive your decisions, especially people you see on social media who are only showing you the highlight reels of reality.

BUILD. You're leaving with a master plan, not a vision board of other people’s dream life, but a real, actionable strategy you can follow. We're building the business you actually want. We're creating the roadmap for the career moves you need to make. We're putting structure around the action you've been avoiding. You'll receive YOUR P.A.T.H. Forward Workbook, your personalized blueprint for 2026, complete with business strategies, goal-setting frameworks, and implementation tools. I promise you… It will work if you work it!

BE. This is where transformation happens. This is your death and resurrection. We're identifying the strategies to walk into your new identity. We're purging the old patterns of thinking that keep you stuck. We're shifting your mindset so you can become the version of yourself you're meant to be, and you'll KNOW exactly what action you need to take. Whether you're leading a team in corporate America or building your business as an entrepreneur, you'll leave with direction, confidence, and clarity on your next step.

THE EXPERIENCE

✨ VIP DINNER EXPERIENCE (Friday Evening, January 9) — Only 12 Seats Available

Before the retreat begins, VIP guests are invited to an exclusive Friday evening dinner at the Epicurean Hotel. This is your night to step away from the everyday, get dressed up, and step into a room full of purpose-driven women ready to do something different.

This intimate dinner is more than a meal - it's a strategic head start. You'll experience visioning exercises, spiritual impartation, prayer, and alignment work that prepares your heart and mind for the transformation ahead. You'll also receive private 1:1 coaching time with April, an opportunity to get personalized guidance on your specific situation before the full retreat even begins.

Only 12 women will have access to this experience. If you want April's undivided attention and a chance to connect deeply before Saturday's intensive, VIP is your ticket.

Come ready to dine, connect, and look good doing it.

FULL-DAY RETREAT (Saturday, January 10) Doors open at 8:00 AM | We begin at 9:00 AM | 8 hours of transformation

This isn't death by PowerPoint. This is an interactive, tactical, spirit-led day designed to meet you exactly where you are and move you forward. Expect teaching, reflection, strategic planning, prayer, and real implementation work.

MEET YOUR HOST: APRIL LEWIS

I'm a combat veteran, former international athlete, national keynote speaker, and certified executive coach. I've spent over a decade coaching women who lead large organizations, run businesses, and hold key positions where there's zero room for fluff and every decision matters.

I started my business in 2014 as a side hustle because I kept showing up in spaces and inspiring people to go after their dreams. Now I travel the nation delivering keynotes and coaching leaders who are ready to stop playing small.

Here's what you need to know about how I work:

My military background taught me discipline and how to stay mission-focused when everything around you is chaos. My athletic experience taught me that what you do off the court directly affects how you show up on game day. My faith allowed me to hear God's voice on Leap Day 2020, which launched me into full-time entrepreneurship. I’m giving you everything I’ve learned.

My coaching style isn't textbook, it's intuitive and tactical. I've mastered the art of listening to what you're saying AND what you truly desire. I know how to identify the blockages, remove them, and create a clear path forward.

My clients don't just feel good… they WIN. They achieve 100%+ success rates in reaching their goals because we don't stop at inspiration. We build executable plans and shift the identity that's been keeping them stuck.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"There have not been many times in my career or business that I have been stretched in the way that April's strategic process stretched me. I entered the room with high expectations and left the room with a heightened business. More than anything, she guided me out of my zone of comfort to the space necessary to acquire both focus and clarity. Two words describe my work with April... Life. Changing."

-L. Meadows, Multi 6-Figure Stocks & Trade Entrepreneur

"I met April years ago and immediately saw that she was a dynamic, straightforward, compassionate, and knowledgeable coach. Earlier this year, I felt stuck and frustrated with my lack of progress. My confidence was low and I knew I needed real support. Reaching out to April was the turning point. She listened without judgment, helped me get out of my own way, and guided me toward simple, powerful steps that actually worked. I regained confidence, built healthier routines, and started moving forward in my life again. If you're on the fence, trust the process. Her guidance works if you work it, and investing in yourself through her coaching is worth every dollar."

-A. Warren, Teacher & Mental Health Advocate

"April had amazing energy and was fun to listen to. She was very real and not your typical read-off-a-PowerPoint presentation."
