Dear Sister,

I recently watched a movie that stirred something deep in my soul—The Life List.  Have you watched it?  It’s new on Netflix and I highly recommend it as a soul stirring and thought provoking movie.🍿 Oh, and don't forget the kleenex too.
It reminded me how easily we tuck away our dreams for “someday,” and how quickly life can pass us by when we’re waiting for the perfect time. NOW is the perfect time!

What if we stopped waiting?

What if we gave ourselves permission to say yes to the big things, the small joys, the adventures, and the soul-whispers—now?

This is what I’m inviting you to explore with me this month:
What’s on your Life List?
Not a bucket list of someday things… but a living, breathing list of what your heart is craving today!

Lately, I’ve been reconnecting with some of the dreams I’d quietly tucked away… dreams that once lit my soul on fire. I’m talking about far-off travel to places I’ve only seen in my dreams,☑️ wild creativity pouring out of me without hesitation or fear, belly laughs around a campfire with women who feel like soul family, swimming naked in a moonlit lake, writing the book that’s been whispering to me for years, tending a garden that feeds both body and spirit, slow dancing in the rain just because it feels good, and yes—feeling true, heart-opening love and partnership again. These aren't just fantasies. They are soul desires. And I believe they show up when we’re finally ready to meet them. I’m ready. I’m opening my heart, choosing courage over comfort, and inviting you to do the same.

✨ What experiences call to you?
✨ What parts of yourself are ready to be expressed?
✨ What dreams have been patiently waiting for you to say, “I’m ready”?                                  

✨What dreams did you have as a child?

Whether it's dancing under the moonlight, writing your book, taking that solo trip, learning a new language, or simply feeling more alive in your everyday life—this is your invitation to begin.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

Join me for our next Sisterhood Rising Circle on Friday, May 3rd at 9:00am PST, where we’ll dive into the theme of “The Life List—Living, Not Just Dreaming.”

We’ll journal, reflect, connect, and each leave with one inspired step toward a life more fully lived. I even have a really fun bit of ‘homework’ for you, if you're up for it!

Let’s stop postponing joy. Let’s dive head first into the life that’s been waiting for us.

PS. If Bali is on your Life List I have a few spots available for our 2025 retreat, “A Woman’s Journey Back to Herself” You can get all the details here 👉 www.cheryldavenport.com/retreats

With love,

Dear friends,

As we step into a new year, I want to share my heart and vision with you—a vision of women rising together in support, connection, and empowerment.

In a world that often asks us to compete, compare, and conform, The Sisterhood Rising is about breaking free from those narratives. It’s about creating a safe, sacred space where women can connect deeply, support one another fully, and grow into their fullest potential.

When women come together—free from judgment, free from competition—we create a force that is unstoppable. Together, we rise above challenges, celebrate each other's successes, and hold space for one another through life’s transitions.

At the core of this movement is connection:

• Connection to ourselves—embracing our unique strengths and honoring our journeys.

• Connection to each other—building a community where every woman feels seen, heard, and supported.

• Connection to our collective purpose—uniting in the shared commitment to lift each other higher.

I believe in the power of sisterhood to create ripples of transformation—not just for us as individuals, but for our families, communities, and dreams.

How You Can Get Involved:
✨ Retreats that Inspire and Transform: Join me for one of my upcoming retreats in Italy, Bali, Mexico, or Greece. These immersive experiences are designed to nourish your body, mind, and soul. I’ll also be adding shorter, intensive 3-4 day retreats in California soon—perfect for a quick yet transformative reset!

✨ 1:1 Coaching for Deeper Growth: Work with me privately to dive into your unique journey, goals, and challenges. Together, we’ll create a path forward that feels aligned and empowering.

✨ Group Discussions for Real Conversations: I’ll be hosting group spaces to share openly about the topics that matter most to women at this pivotal time in our lives—friendships, relationships, love, sex, menopause, health, wellness, and so much more. These are safe spaces where your voice will be heard, and your story will be honored.

✨ Follow Me on Instagram: @TheSisterhoodRising for inspiration, updates, and opportunities to connect with an incredible community of women.

This is more than a movement; it’s a mission to rise together. The time is now, and I’d be honored to have you as part of this incredible journey.

Together, we are unstoppable. 💃❤️

With love and gratitude,
Cheryl

We are well on our way into a new year and I’m asking myself and my coaching clients two questions:

“How will you make this year different from last year?” 

“What would make 2023 an extraordinary year for you?”

Great questions to sit with for a while or possibly you’ve got the year all mapped out, goals set and are well on your way to creating an extraordinary year!  Congratulations!!

If not, and you’re still wondering how to conquer the drudgery of eat, sleep, work, pay bills, rinse & repeat, then I may have a solution for you…

Many of you know that I have lived and traveled to Bali for many years. It is one of my most favorite places in the world for many reasons.  All of which I would love to share with you!

I originally went to Thailand and Bali, alone, searching for a shift in my life. I could no longer live another 365 days the same as the last 365 days.  My internal being needed to heal, grow, expand and experience new things. It took me almost 2 years to create my new reality and I must say Bali delivered on all of it!  To be immersed in the healing capital of Bali was such a gift and completely changed my life for the better. I searched out the best healers, spa’s, restaurants, places to visit and all of the secret spots that the locals were willing to share with me.  I healed, grew as a person, expanded my career, released old patterns, found pure joy in every day and made lifelong friends from around the world.  I also experienced what I would call “freedom”.  Freedom from fear of change.  Whew, that's a big one!  It's like anything else, once you’ve done it, you know you can do it again…and so the next journey began.

I have always had a passion for empowering others, probably because so many have done the same for me along the way.  That desire led me to many amazing opportunities in my life but coaching and hosting women’s retreats in Bali has been the culmination of the last 40 years of my career and personal growth work. I also had many friends that wanted to travel but had a fear of traveling alone or were just frightened of traveling so far.  I really felt called to curate a trip to Bali that would offer these highly successful and overworked women a safe way to visit a drastically different culture, to do some deep self care and healing, if needed. 

I truly believe we need this type of connection now more than ever!!  Women coming together in a non competitive setting, supporting each other and understanding that we are all suffering through most of the same things and I’m not just talking about hot flashes here.  Just to be clear this retreat is not about you quitting your job and moving to Bali. (unless that's your dream, then let’s talk!) 

It’s about so much more…

How would you feel knowing you could have this once in a lifetime experience without having to do all the planning and work?  That once you land in Bali your personal well being is our only job.  Every little detail has been taken care of to ensure you can completely relax into your luxurious environment, feeling safe, nurtured, refreshed and renewed. YOU deserve to be taken care of and will be a happier and more productive person by doing so.  It’s finally your turn!  

I could go on and on but I think my Bali Retreat page can help paint a picture in your mind as to the magic that this retreat has to offer you. You can visit my page and share with your friends and family so that they can share in the magic too!  You never know who needs this and how deeply it will impact them.  Here’s the link: https://www.cheryldavenport.com/retreats

That is also my coaching page if you would like support in creating an extraordinary 2023!

My IG has tons of Bali & other travel photos @BaliGirl Retreats

Let's make some magic together in 2023!

In gratitude,

Cheryl

Ahh February...the holidays are done and stored away till next year, 2020 goals are pushed aside for future consideration and we’re back to our usual routine.  I don’t know about you but I have found myself a bit lost this February. Not feeling incredibly creative or inspired and honestly a bit upset with myself for feeling this way.  Afterall, I am a Life Coach and I help people create their dream lives so shouldn’t I be inspired and motivated all the time?!

Have you ever felt this way?  I’ve come to realize that we ALL feel this way from time to time and sometimes we even allow ourselves to sit with it for awhile. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying unpack and move in to this place but rest your weary mind for a moment, check in to see what you’re really feeling and what you really need. Nourish yourself with some quiet time, meditation, nature and exercise...let the answers come in those quiet moments.  Ask yourself the bigger questions. Where do I find true joy? What impact do I want to have in the world? What will I regret at the end of my life if I don’t do it? What am I grateful for? One thing I know for sure is that if you ask the right questions the answers will always reveal themselves.

 I guess my point is maybe it’s not always about the big goals in life but about the things that make our hearts sing and leave a lasting impression on the ones we love and our mother earth.  What if we just play this life full out, hearts wide open, wild hair in the wind, laughing and dancing to our own crazy beat while we chase those dreams we’ve had tucked away for far too long?  What if...

 If you’ve found yourself feeling a bit lost, uninspired or just plain ready for a change I have a couple spots open for 1:1 coaching where we can explore the bigger questions, the possibilities and the action needed to get you on your way to living a kickass life!
