Hi. I’m Fran Azel,

A pocket-sized wife, mom and retired teacher. 

I love all things travel.
You can find me roughing it in my tent, always searching for gorgeous views, or glamming it up in a luxury stay at a Ritz Carlton resort, but nothing in between.

I love trying new recipes out and entertaining my family and friends. I’m a self-proclaimed home makeover mama and a recent empty nester.

After years of doing all the “right things”... earning my masters in education, working my way up through the school system for over 20 years, marrying my best friend, maintaining a household, raising incredible and loving adult kids…

no one prepared me for having everything I wanted out of life and still feeling something was missing.

I started running women’s retreats to help midlife women find that pause button, to disconnect, rediscover their new sense of purpose and figure out what’s next. Does this sound like something you can relate to?
