Friday, July 31, 2026 | Exeter NH | 9am-6pm
An intimate retreat with only 50 spots -
will you be one of them?
ALIGN YOUR BUSINESS | ALIGN YOUR PROFIT | ALIGN YOUR LIFE
This is the day.
Not a day off where you still checked your phone. Not a vacation you spent answering emails by the pool. A real, whole, unhurried day where the only thing on your list is you.
That's what this retreat is.
What you are walking into…
Deep conversations that actually go somewhere. Energy readings that tell you what you have been avoiding. Breathwork that moves what words cannot. A guided cold plunge that will surprise you. A dance party, because joy is not optional.
Becoming ProfitFULL is a one-day retreat for business owners, creators, and builders who started something real in order to live a different life — and somewhere in the building, lost their life in the business.
This is the day you come back.
From chasing to Choosing
From misalignment to Alignment
The Shape of the Day
This day was designed with intention. Every hour builds on the last.
REGULATE
Land in your body. Drop the noise. Get present.
CHALLENGE
Look honestly at what has been running the show.
NOURISH
Let the morning land. Eat. Connect. Breathe.
EXPERIENCE
Feel what choosing yourself actually looks like.
WITNESS
Be seen. See others. Say it out loud.
CELEBRATE
Joy is not the reward. It’s not just part of the program. It’s the whole point.
This is a full transformation.
You will not leave the same way you arrived.
PICTURE THISThe Day You’ve Been Waiting For
You walk into the room and immediately exhale. Coffee is hot. Music is playing. There are 50 people around you — business owners, founders, creators — and not a single one of them is performing.
No name tags with corporate titles. No awkward networking circles. No one asking "so what do you do?" as a way to size you up.
Just a room full of humans who built something real and are ready to stop white-knuckling their way through it.
You sit down. You open your journal. And for the first time in a long time, you give yourself a full day to stop running the business — and start remembering why you built it.
By the time you leave, you'll have cried (probably), laughed (definitely), plunged into cold water (yes, really), danced like nobody was filming (even though someone is), and walked away with a clear plan for what's next.
This isn't a conference. This is a RETREAT.
This is the day your business starts working for your life instead of the other way around.
Most of us have spent years chasing a life with no problems — the empty inbox, the cleared to-do list, the revenue number that finally makes us feel safe, the someday when it all calms down.
A Letter From Gabbie
For 15+ years…
… I worked in financial auditing, corporate accounting, and CFO consulting. On paper, I was doing it right. The degrees. The career. The salary. All of it.
And I was still performing in a life that didn't feel like mine. So I walked away to build The Profit Mama — because the numbers were never the whole story.
Since then I've worked with dozens of business owners — childcare operators, speech therapists, cocktail founders, textile designers, dietitians, dog membership startups — helping them get profitable, pay themselves, and stop guessing. And I've learned the same thing over and over again.
Here's the part nobody warns you about: you start a business for your life — more freedom, more time, more room to breathe — and somewhere in the building, you hand your life back to the business. You become the bottleneck of the very thing that was supposed to set you free.
This event is the day I wish I'd had.
A full day to stop running the business and start remembering why you built it. Tables where the work becomes yours.
Breathwork. Cold water. A dance party.
And — at the end — a clear path forward.
When I imagined this day…
I reflected on all the people who supported me in my becoming; who saw & loved me before I even started to see and love myself…
Each of these special humans have been such a gift to me - I’ve invited them to share their gifts and magic with you on our day.

What you'll walk away with
A regulated nervous system… and a tool to do it again.
A way to reset your day on purpose, long after you leave the room.
A new way to choose.
Alignment over achievement. Love over lack. Faith over fear… in your business and your life
Proof that fun belongs in your business.
Not as a reward for the work… as part of the strategy.
A real network.
The people at your table are the part you didn't know to value… the sparks, the collaborations, the friendships you leave with.

Where We’ll Be
MILA by The White Apron

One more thing.
You don't need to earn the right to step away. You don't have to wait until the business runs itself or the season finally calms down. That day isn't coming on its own — you have to choose it.
So choose one day. One room full of people who get it. One day to tend to the mind that's been racing, the body that's been carrying it all, and the soul that's been quietly waiting for you to come back.
Getting Here Is Easy
Just 1 hour from Boston
Only 30 minutes from Portsmouth and Manchester, NH
Free, on-site parking — no stress, no fees

FAQ
-
Yes - most people do. You'll be seated with a small group at your table, so you won't be on your own for long. (Want to bring someone? Two can come and you save $100.)
-
No. This room is for business owners, creators, and builders of every kind. If you've built something real and you're ready to come back to yourself, you belong here.
-
Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and coffee all day. Just bring yourself (and a swimsuit and a towel) if you'd like to plunge).
-
Never. The breathwork is for everyone; the plunge is completely optional.
Jump in, cheer from the side, or settle in for an intuitive reading with Jodi instead - everyone gets something just for them.
-
The day is built as one experience from 9 to 6, and it lands best when you're there for all of it.
We'd encourage you to clear the whole day and let yourself be fully in it.
-
Yes on both. MILA has free parking in the lot plus free street parking, with an attendant on-site to help you get settled.
The space is fully wheelchair accessible. If you have any specific accessibility needs, note them on your registration form and we'll take care of it.
