In this episode, Paula sits down with Augustina Tetsola, founder of Life Angel Coaching and creator of the Women’s Bliss Retreat. Broadcasting from the sublime surroundings of Windjammer Landing in Saint Lucia, they share what it means to step into a true sense of presence, where breathtaking nature, five-star luxury, and soulful practices come together to create a powerful, embodied experience of bliss. KEY TAKEAWAYS From burnout… to begin again.This retreat isn’t about escape, it’s about a return. A soul-level reset where you soften, breathe, and remember who you are beneath the noise of everyday life. Bliss is not something you find, it’s something you embody.An innate state of joy, deep contentment, and freedom that flows from within when you allow yourself to slow down, open up, and fully be. Saint Lucia is more than a destination, it’s a living, breathing sanctuary.Known as the “Helen of the West Indies,” its breathtaking beauty, lush rainforest, volcanic energy, and mineral-rich waters create a sublime natural setting that gently restores and recalibrates. The Pitons, Sugar Beach, and the endless Caribbean blues awaken something deeper.From the awe of the towering Pitons to the pure joy of snorkelling in the vibrant, crystal-clear waters of Sugar Beach, every moment invites you into presence, wonder, and aliveness. Luxury here is grounded, embodied, and deeply nourishing.Five-star surroundings meet soulful experience, where you are held, cared for, and invited to receive. This is luxury that feels warm, real, and accessible, not distant or unattainable. True restoration happens when the body feels safe to let go.Through breathwork, meditation, sound healing, energy work, and sacred rituals, the nervous system begins to soften, allowing space for clarity, calm, and renewal. Nature becomes the healer, the mirror, and the guide.From rainforest stillness to ocean expansiveness, the island itself supports the shift from doing into being. The hummingbird reminds us what we are returning to.Joy. Lightness. Resilience. The freedom to move through life with grace, presence, and ease. This is a space where women are invited to receive.To lay down the weight of responsibility, to be nurtured, supported, and seen. To reconnect with a sense of softness, strength, and self-worth. You don’t leave as someone new… you return as yourself.Grounded. Liberated. Peaceful.A little lighter. A little freer. A little closer to bliss. BEST MOMENTS "To me, the word bliss means a state, an innate state of utter joy, deep contentment, happiness, full expression of ourselves... real bliss comes from within." "It's like nature has harvested the very best of what it has to offer and brought it to Windjammer." "I've started calling myself the dream keeper because I am just here as a host to facilitate this space... so that people can have the dream that they want."
