about your host - Michelle Walter
After losing my husband, I wasn’t searching for motivation. I wasn’t trying to “move on.” I just wanted to survive the next hour. The next meal. The next moment.
Grief cracked open everything I knew — my identity, my plans, my future. I didn’t know who I was without him… and I didn’t know where to go from there.
But then something shifted.
I found myself at a retreat surrounded by women who understood. I didn’t have to explain my pain or hide behind a brave face. I could just be. That space — that sisterhood — helped me see that I didn’t have to carry my grief alone. And I didn’t have to keep pretending I was okay.
That weekend didn’t erase my pain. But it gave me something I hadn’t felt in a long time: hope.
That’s why I created The Elevation Hub — to bring women like us together. Women who have lost more than words can explain, and are now wondering what healing could look like… if we did it together.
This Retreat Is For You If..
1. Your 6 Months or more Into Your Grief Journey and Craving Deeper Healing
The initial shock has worn off, but the weight of your loss still lingers in ways others don’t always see. You’ve done your best to keep going—but now you're looking for something more meaningful than just “getting by.” You want space to tend to the pain that’s still quietly shaping your everyday life.
2. Your Feeling Emotionally Depleted and In Need of Gentle Structure
Grief has pulled so much from you—your energy, your joy, your sense of direction. You’re not looking for hustle or pressure—you’re looking for compassionate guidance that meets you where you are. A soft routine that helps you feel grounded again.
3. Your Long For a Quiet, Sacred Space To Just Be - Without Guilt or Expectations
You’re tired of being the “strong one” or putting on a smile when you don’t feel okay. You need a space where you don’t have to perform, explain, or hold it all together. Just somewhere you can exhale fully and be held in your truth.
4. You'd Love To Connect With a Small Circle of Women Who Truly "Get It"
You’ve felt isolated in your grief—like no one around you really understands the depth of what you’re carrying. You’re craving heartfelt connection with women who speak the same emotional language. Women who won’t try to fix you, but will sit beside you and feel with you.
5. You're Ready To Begin The Next Chapter of Your Life - On Your Terms
You’re not “over it,” and you never will be—but you’re starting to wonder what healing, purpose, and even joy could look like now. You want to move forward without abandoning the love you lost. You’re ready to rewrite the story with your grief beside you—not ahead of you.

What Might Stop You From Coming...
(And Why You Should Anyway)
“I’m not sure I’m ready…” There’s no “right” timeline for healing. But if you’ve been craving stillness, support, or a sign that it’s time to put you first — this might be it.
“I don’t want to cry the whole time…” You can. Or you don’t have to. This is a no-judgment zone. We’ve created space for every emotion — laughter, silence, tears, even joy.
“I’m nervous to come alone…” Most women attend solo. You’ll be welcomed into a small, loving circle where everyone understands exactly why you’re here — and no one expects you to perform.
“I’m not sure if this is ‘worth’ the money…” Your healing is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline. This weekend is an investment in you, your peace, and your next chapter. And you're worth every bit of it.
