POTARCH LODGE
November 7th - 9th 2025
Join us for three days of strategy, space + unapologetic luxury, so you walk back into your business with a clear plan, fired-up confidence, and the energy of a woman who calls the shots. No waiting for âsomedayâ â it starts now.
By the time September hits, youâve carried the weight of another wild business year.
Youâve delivered, pivoted, stretched, and kept the wheels turning.
But how often have you stopped to breathe, celebrate, and actually design what comes next on your terms?
Â
At The Strategic Hideaway you will:
⨠Step away from the noise and finally hear yourself think.
⨠Audit whatâs really working (and whatâs quietly draining you)
⨠Map out your next chapter with strategy that actually fits your life
⨠Lock in your 2026 game plan before the year even closes
⨠Head back into your business with clarity, conviction, and that âdonât mess with meâ CEO energy
Hi đđťÂ I'm Nic,
You're slightly sweary, business mentor, burnout survivor turned cheerleader for unapologetically YOU shaped success, based here in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Iâm on a mission to drag as many women as possible off the busy-burnout-bounce-back hamster wheel and into building businesses that actually work: profitable, sustainable + unapologetically YOU shaped.
The Experience
This is not a cookie-cutter âretreatâ where you sit in rows, scribble notes, and head home with a pretty journal you never open again.
Itâs 3 nights of strategy, recalibration, and unapologetic luxury in a secluded mansion â where you are the VIP.
⨠Luxury Bedrooms: Super-king suites, cloud-soft Hypnos mattresses, rainfall showers that feel like therapy.
⨠Private Chef: Four days of chef-prepared dining, cocktails by the fire, and long conversations that spark ideas you canât shake.
⨠Unstructured Flow: No fake icebreakers or forced fun. Instead, fireside strategy, hot-tub clarity, golden-hour content shoots, or head-down planning at the marble island. Your hideaway, your rhythm.
⨠Exclusivity: Only 9 women. No cliques, no hustle talk, no surface-level small talk â just deep strategy, real connection, and space to reset + reimagine.
Your 3 Days at
THE STRATEGIC HIDEAWAY
DAY ONE â The Arrival
Check in. Breathe out.
Wander the mansion and its grounds, claim your boudoir, and let the outside world melt away.
The evening begins with a fireside Welcome Gathering + something sparkling in your glass.
A private chefâprepared dinner follows, ending with stargazing under blankets.
DAY TWO â The Activation
Breakfast with a garden view.
Morning Round Table Reflection to open the space.
Lunch, then Opening The Portal ActivationÂ
Afternoon âyou timeâ (or step into the spotlight with your photoshoot).
Evening cocktails + a celebratory dinner party that lingers late.
DAY FOUR â The Integration
One last breakfast overlooking the gardens.
Check out by 10am, heart + head full of clarity.
(Optional: a grounding walk at Gelt Woods before you head home.)

Want to do a vibe check first?
I know booking a 3-day retreat is a big decision. And if you havenât met me before, you might want to get a feel for who I am before you say yes.
Thatâs why Iâd love to start with something simple:
