Welcome back to Part 2 of Gwen’s Annual Planning Recap! If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, go back one episode to listen to what Gwen is calling in for this year. Today, Gwen sits down with her operations manager, Kristyn, for a candid behind-the-scenes conversation about what intentional annual planning really looked like for them. They share the raw experience of stepping away from daily personal and business demands to complete an in-person planning retreat that brought clarity, alignment, a new offer, and renewed confidence heading into 2026.

Together, Gwen and Kristyn share their key lessons around niching down and building a business model that supports growth without burnout. They talked about mindset shifts, perfectionism, consistency, and the power of data-driven decisions when refining your mission and offers.

You’ll also hear the story behind the creation of the Confidence Sales System Cohort and how this new model allows Gwen to serve more women while creating better results and more freedom. If you’re ready to command your sales, simplify your strategy, and step into 2026 with confidence and intention, this cohort will provide you with the framework and tools you’re looking for!

If you haven’t done an annual planning retreat for 2026 yet, it’s not too late! This episode is an encouragement for you to take the time to pour back into yourself and your business so that you can have an even more fruitful year! Press play and get inspired for your very own retreat!
