Hi! I’m your host, Lexi Grant. I’m a media innovator, an entrepreneur and a mom to two young boys.
I founded Retreat & Create because I wanted this experience and couldn’t find it.
While working a demanding role at a media startup, I wanted to get away from the responsibilities of work and home, and
give myself space to brainstorm and get work done… while feeding my soul with rest and time in the outdoors.
I improvised by attending a women’s yoga vacation, but felt awkward when I skipped scheduled activities to work.
I attended business conferences, but found myself exhausted after a few days of speakers
and high-pressure networking, desperate for down-time before going home to my family.
What I really needed was a combination of the two. A space to rest, reflect, write and
strategize, to let my creative juices flow. And in an ideal world, I wanted to be inspired by the energy of other women, too.
After a few fast-paced years building media companies,
I moved my family to Harpers Ferry, WV, and realized this historic mountain town was
the perfect place to create what I craved.
