BE YOU Motivate brings women’s retreat back to Longboat Key

BE YOU Motivate will host its two-day RADIATE women’s wellness retreat on Longboat Key, Florida, on Sept. 23-24, 2026, blending mindset coaching, longevity science, nutrition and personal style. The event arrives as the global wellness economy surges and women’s well-being lags, which the organizers say makes connection and practical self-care more urgent.

Why it matters: - Women’s wellness spending is growing fast, but women’s well-being is still under pressure. - The retreat is built for women who need concentrated support without taking a full week away from work, family or transition. - BE YOU Motivate is positioning connection, coaching and practical tools as a response to burnout, isolation and shifting health needs.

What happened: - BE YOU Motivate will hold RADIATE on Sept. 23-24, 2026, on Longboat Key, Florida. - The two-day retreat combines mindset coaching, longevity science, functional nutrition and style work. - Registration is open now at beyoumotivate.com. - The retreat is described as an established program on Florida’s Suncoast after launching in California in 2023.

The details: - The event is aimed at professionals, founders, mothers and women in transition. - Program threads include movement and mindset, longevity and biohacking, beauty and nutrition, style and self-expression, and connection and community. - Kim Wise and Krista Flynn will lead the movement and mindset sessions. - Dr. Tracey Norman, a holistic chiropractor, yoga instructor, wellness educator and founder of Sanctuary of Life in Sarasota, will lead a session on gut health, recovery and nervous-system regulation, including the Biomat. - Denise Manning, a Stanford-certified nutritionist and founder of Beauty f(x), will lead a conversation on functional nutrition, edible beauty and nutrition considerations for women on GLP-1 medications. - Birgit C. Muller, a three-time Daytime Emmy Award winner for costume design, will lead a session on color, silhouette and self-knowledge. - The group will remain deliberately small, and unstructured time is built into the schedule. - The retreat runs at a privately disclosed venue on Longboat Key, a barrier island northwest of Sarasota. - Retreat experiences plus lunch and dinner are included. - Travel and accommodations are not included. - A non-refundable $250 deposit is due at booking. - Sponsorship and partnership opportunities are open through the organizers.

Between the lines: - The timing reflects a larger wellness-market boom and a growing focus on women-specific gaps in health outcomes. - The Global Wellness Institute says the global wellness economy reached $6.8 trillion in 2024, outpacing global GDP. - A 2025 Science Advances study found women’s well-being fell relative to men’s despite decades of social and economic progress. - Co-founder Kim Wise said the retreat is meant to help women step away from everyday noise and leave with a renewed sense of identity and direction. - Co-founder Krista Flynn said connection is one of the most powerful wellness tools and a core part of the experience.

What’s next: - BE YOU Motivate is accepting registrations and booking deposits now. - The founders said interviews with participating speakers can be arranged before the retreat. - Limited media access to the September dates can be discussed. - Approved high-resolution photos from prior retreats are available to accredited media on request.

The bottom line: - RADIATE packages a growing wellness trend into a short, tightly curated retreat designed to deliver practical change, not just a getaway.
