In a time of unprecedented stress and uncertainty, women seeking meaningful connections and experiences will find a valuable resource in Dena Gould, a leading expert in personal growth. 

With a focus on practical strategies for overcoming life’s challenges, Gould is set to co-host a transformative retreat. 

Dena Gould and Kim Moore will host the upcoming Sol Rejuvenation: A Transformational Women’s Retreat in Colorado Springs, which promises to be a pivotal event for women seeking to enhance their personal growth and resilience. The 4-day experience will take place from February 6 – 9, 2025.

This retreat provides attendees with tools and techniques to navigate stress, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful connections in a safe and nurturing space for a transformative experience.

Special guest instructors include Soozie Kintsler and Rebecca Cordiano.

Pam, a past participant says, “It was a powerful and transformational journey! I feel fully equipped to continue growing forward from the support, guidance, tools, and strategies.” 

Gould’s approach to personal development emphasizes the profound impact of self-trust in navigating today’s complex world. 

In her recent reflections, Gould highlights the importance of resisting fear, especially amidst the current political climate. “Self-trust means not giving our power away or feeding the ‘what if’ stories that often dominate our thoughts.”

She advocates for making deliberate choices about what to engage with and how to manage our thoughts. 

“It’s about standing in our power and trusting our brilliance in each moment,” she explains. 

By consistently challenging negative thoughts and choosing perspectives that align with their desired feelings, individuals can maintain control over their experience. 

She encourages people to reflect on their self-doubt and question when they first began to doubt their voice. 

“Transforming our mindset is a journey that unfolds one day at a time,” Gould advises. 

“Start with today. Challenge your fears—are they based on truth? If not, shift your thoughts. You have the power to control them.”

Through her work and insights, Gould aims to empower individuals to overcome self-doubt and harness their inner strength.

She shares how many of us grew up feeling like we didn’t matter or were a burden in some fashion or another. 

Gould says, “From these tough experiences, we often create agreements with ourselves to try and fit in or feel valued.”

She adds, “Maybe you decided you had to be perfect, or maybe you thought you needed to be everything to everyone. Or maybe you just shrank away and hid to avoid disappointment. Even small moments, like a kid being mean to you in class, can have a lasting impact.” 

She believes that these hidden wounds can show up as recurring obstacles, stopping us from having what we want in life.

She adds, “To break free from these patterns, we need to take responsibility. I’m not saying you need to deny the hard things that have happened to you. But you do need to take your power back and stop living in the past, which can’t be changed.” 

By focusing on self-trust and intentional thought management, Dena Gould provides a roadmap for navigating life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
