Stop waiting for an invite.
The Tedx can wait.
Come tell yOur Story.
We want to hear yOur Voice.
Your story is cool. Your life is good.
It's time to get out there and share your story in a wonderful warm environment with other women who are all amazing. It's time to retreat into the arms and hugs of supportive smart women who know that ´success´ doesn't solve all your insecurities. Wouldn't it feel good to relax with others who are also strong, smart and kind?
But it's not just the story you will share. The event we are leading up to is called yOur Voice.
You.
Our.
Your.
When your voice is heard it's like all of our voices being heard. You get a professional recorded video of a short story shared in beautiful Barcelona.
Truth is, we share similar struggles as women; the doubts we hear when we scroll on Instadamn aren't uniquely yours. We all were socialized to be the nice girl; to be attractive and to nod politely.
Well, we're in a movement and it's called
#UnApologetic
You can join in with thousands of women who want their voices heard.
When women join together, laughter happens, joy surrounds us. This unforgettable event promises a party like no other. Your voice will become more beautiful, purer and clearer.
Let's get out there, and up there and share these stories. Just like Ted, we don't ask for a perfect talk. No one loves you because you're perfect; they love you because of how you sneeze in an adorable way, that you get over-excited when you hear Madonna, and how you just can't stop crying when you re-watch Titanic.
You have 5 days with us. These are your days, for your voice, for your story. How are we going to make sure you have a re-treat--- a re-laxing treat---
And let's do Beach yoga! Yes! and let's eat cheese and let's drink fine wine from southern Spain! Hell Yeah!
Well, imagine the best sleepover party with all your besties. Imagine the hugs, the support and the encouragement. Not just in your career plan for how to optimize your speaking, but in your personal life-- we have Luisa Montalvo and Elizabeth Eve King to help you express yourself authentically. We have Jessica Brightfield, who is a world-renowned hostess with the mostess who will ensure you connect on a deep level with inner child experiences, dancing, healthy food - and delicious desserts- and lots of self-care opportunities. Breathing circles, Women's circles and say ´good bye´ to those circles under your eyes- for on day 5 you can go to spa with a heavily discounted add-on, and we all go to a magical spot overlooking the city. You will find yourself in Europe's most beautiful Labyrinths, thereafter winding down with your toes in the sand at the beach.
You will get coached on your talk. You will be interviewed on your message on the How2Beyou Broadcasting Network podcast, where legends like Tim Gard and Drew Tarvin have been guests. Big events want big names; small events don't pay. But what if you niched your offering so well, that you could run your own retreats? This retreat is designed so you bring your fans with you to Barcelona. You give a workshop and a talk, and we share our successes with you. Bring 2 people and you come for free.
You know what you care about most- we want you to share it because someone who was like needs to hear it. No powerpoints on your stage time, just doing your thing. You can't go wrong when you speak authentically and emotionally. Corporate women will join us because although they don't need to speak well to sell their services, they are pretty tired of the dog-eat-dog world where women have to act like men to be respected. Why do you do what you do? Tell us at yOur Voice

For Women Who Need More Than a Break—They Need to Be Seen.
Our guest at this 5-day retreat that Luisa was hit by a truck and was dead for 7 minutes and in her award-winning speech she shares how 37 strangers brought her back to life. Now you have the opportunity to spend time with Luisa in Barcelona and be coached on how to tell the story of your lifetime.

Meet Luisa Montalvo, 2024 World Champion of Public Speaking.
The truth is, most of us will never fill a room with people who want to hear our story
—even Beyonce needs to dance to fill stadiums.
Our stories need to be engaging, raw and polished. Oh, and we are going to dance! After these 5 days, you will remember that this life isn't about being popular influencer who gets paid to speak- about deoderant. You will leave, convinced about how you can make an impact. Men in their midlife crisis plot how to ¨leave a legacy¨ but this is about us women leaving proud of ourselves.
Who is this retreat for?
This experience is designed for passionate women who have an idea that's worth spreading. For the last two decades, TED's tagline has been ¨Ideas Worth Spreading¨and now that it's not copyright anymore yOur Voice retreat is using it. If you are a high-achieving women who feels that something is missing in how you treat yourself and despite everyone in the world -except your ex-husband- tellin' you that you are brave- you still feel other women are doing better, then please don't wait any longer.
Our special guest, Luisa Montalvo, was dead for 7 minutes after a truck smashed into her. Thirty seven strangers brought her back to life and with this story she won the World Championship of Public Speaking in 2024. If you have ever felt like you don't have anything valuable to say or you are focused on the compliments of your man or society a little more than you would like to admit, then it's time to start being #UnApologetic
You may have the manicure, house and whitened teeth of a successful woman, but if you ever ask yourself
"Was it worth it?"
"Why do I work hard to prove my value to people who won't even come to my funeral?"
"What if I could do be a boss lady?"
then you are most welcome to your sisterhood!
Welcome to five days of radical connection, clarity, and transformation—a space where you don’t have to smile when you don’t mean it. A space where you’ll finally own your story and your future.
You Don't Need Permission. You Need a Plane Ticket.
Most women will spend their whole lives waiting for a sign, an invite, a reason to step into their power. This is your sign. This is your invite.
Are you in?
What You’ll Get

day 4: deeper
Rise to the sunny beach yoga (optional) and dive deeper into your being. Enjoy the insights from a ¨Grieve the life you never had¨ Gestalt Psychotherapy exercise, share in a mindfulness circle of sistas, and laugh till you cry, or cry until you laugh in a Play Therapy session with your inner girl.
Today is the day to celebrate being you. To progress on your purpose with the Purpose compass and plan the next steps: will it be a Tedx application, a book or a peaceful feeling of having captured yOur Voice. You leave with professional photos of you in yur essence, with a feeling of tribal strength and belly full of cheese, tapas and exotic fruit- oh- and wine. You feel fine and drift off to sleep to dream of what may come.

You ride up one of the top Labyrinths in the world. Anyone who makes it to the center will find a statue of Eros, Greek God of Love, implying that the romantic part of the garden existed even before any expansion. There are also pavilions that overlook the maze and feature their own statues of Greek gods, and a picturesque pond at one end. The spa awaits you. Our hugs sustain you. We say bye until our next online connection. ciao!

Called the Queen of Networking, Jessica has hosted the official networking at EU StartUp Summit for the last 3 years; she has run official networking for women for the city of Barcelona for the last two years at 4YFN at Mobile World Congress. She is called the ¨Social Alchemist¨ the aka ¨Queen of Networking¨ who has run the Club Globals Tech Sales Festival Networking for three years. How2beyou has had 3 locations in the most delightful neighbourhoods and is presently at 141 Passeig Sant Joan, Barcelona.
Her mom and her sat together one cold Canadian evening and came up with the name How2Beyou because of Jessica's untiring exploration of the world and happiness, her struggle to accept herself and the deep desire to help girls like themselves. The movement #UnApologetic grew from Jessica's travels, from her seeing that everywhere she went, women were apologizing for not being good enough. It pissed her off enough to create these events, campaigns and retreats where your sistas remind you that you are more than enough and that yOur voice matters. She cares deeply for the lonely and ensures that everyone at her events feels they belong. She uses humor to connect the audience and she's seen 1000s of people actually enjoy networking. She is expecting a baby somewhere in the world to be named after her for her infamous global parties, for she herself is childfree and lives at the beach outside of Barcelona with her Spanish boyfriend. She spends summers north of Toronto with her loving parents and plays ¨best aunt ever¨to 4 nephews and neices. She loves to dance, laugh and eat cheese. Not in that order. All her parties have cheese; sometimes they dance and almost everyone laughs- except for the most serious types who take themselves too seriously.
