In partnership with Jenn Perrault of Haute off the Rack, we present to you a three-day immersive experience at a countryside oasis created with mothers in mind. The Retreat at the Ranch features a unique program designed specifically for female creative business owners, who are also mothers. We know all too well the continuous challenges we face when it comes to the ever changing landscape of motherhood, as well as running your own company. We’ve developed the perfect balance of the two facets, and we'll be diving deep into your business to answer those trajectory-shifting questions with ample time set aside for rest and restoration that mothers so rarely enjoy. We will gather for three beautiful and inspiring days at The Za Ranch nestled in Covington, Louisiana as our curated speaker lineup teaches on branding, business strategy, battling against burnout, harnessing your creativity + so much more. This idea was inspired by the desire to giveback to our motherhood community through Jenn's philanthropy, Haute Mama Collective - which provides moms in need with resources, products and support. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to benefit mothers in need.
Not only are we going to workshop your ideas into reality, but we’re going to actually spend time filling up those cups you pour out of all day long. The content your business needs to grow and thrive, time to reflect and implement new practices, yoga, mastermind groups on the porch, nature walks along the property, delicious cocktails over conversation, and an estate that feels like a little slice of heaven.

The School of Styling is for any female creative entrepreneur or hopeful business owner looking to refine their business, grow in knowledge, and connect with other business owners. This experience is specifically curated for female entrepreneurs who are also mothers. Our speakers and panelists will present on the unique challenges we face in motherhood and business ownership. The strategies that you'll hear are applicable to all stages and industries of creative businesses, from bloggers, copywriters, real estate agents, jewelry designers, and more! The mix of our schools gives students a fresh perspective on their own work. Whether you've been in business for 10 minutes or 10 years, you have a place here! But don't just take our word for it... here are some industry specific reviews.
You will receive the tools and training to help you build an intentional business that supports your role as a mother. If you need to set better boundaries, improve your time-management, or amp up your sales strategy, you'll want to hear from our speakers. Each educational session will be followed by an engaging q+a where you will get answers specific to your business and family needs. Not only will you be taking notes, you will actively be solving problems and having one "ah-ha" moment after another, while surrounded by women who know exactly what it's like to be in your shoes.
If you are feeling stuck, exhausted, burnt out and uninspired.. then I invite you to join us. This retreat was designed specifically to combat those feelings, and reignite that ambition that helped you start your creative business in the first place. With plenty of down time, heartfelt conversations, and impactful educational sessions, this experience will do what you're currently unable to do on your own. Hit the reset button, and return to your business with the foundation laid to feel inspired and content.
Running yourself into the ground trying to solve problems on your own, or texting a client back at 10pm after your *promised* yourself you'd set better boundaries just isn't working, is it? Allow yourself the space to dream about a business, the one that sets your heart on fire and gets you excited to open your laptop each day its there. I truly believe you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
A regular ticket will grant you access to one day of event programming, creative breakout sessions, and our traditional "ranch style" party. The VIP ticket features the full three days of programming, everything included in the regular event ticket, plus a two night stay at the luxurious Za Ranch, the welcome cocktail party Monday evening, incredible swag bags, morning yoga and more.
The event will take place in Covington, Louisiana. The venue is located about 1.5 hours from the New Orleans international airport, and about 25 minutes from downtown Covington. Airport transportation available.
Jenn and Logan decided to come together to plan the Retreat at the Ranch after talking shop and sharing stories on motherhood. When they're not running a company, you'll find them running after their boys - between the two of them, there are four wild boys under four years old. Between Jenn's decade of experience in digital creation and fostering community, and Logan's experience in hosting and teaching workshops on business education, there will be wealth of knowledge offered to the attendees. We believe there is nothing more impactful than sharing a space with other women who've walked the same journey, and we are so excited to create that space for each of you!
