I Just Wanted Someone to Have Coffee With: Finding Your People

Toni at the Bali Soulshine Retreat I recently sat down for a conversation with Nikki from The View From Here, and it took me right back to where so much of this began.

Why Bali Keeps Calling Us Back
When I first brought Bali into the SLAM calendar, I wasn’t simply adding an overseas destination. I was chasing a feeling - one I had experienced there myself and wanted to create for our community. That feeling? Space. Real space. The kind that’s increasingly rare at home. This year, we’re hosting two very different Bali experiences - our SLAM Mums & Kids Getaway and our Women’s Island Escape . Different seasons of life, different rhythms, yet built on the same foundation:

Bali 2026 — A Mum & Kids Getaway Where kids play, mums exhale
Bali here we come... Every time we go to Bali, we come home saying the same thing — we need to do that again.

Before 2026 Begins: A Mindset Guide for Women Who Want More

But before the year closes, you deserve a moment to breathe. To reflect. To honour what this year has been
