Word on the street

Don’t just take our word for it—hear from the amazing women who’ve laughed, hiked, and connected their way to unforgettable memories. These testimonials are proof that adventure + sober sisterhood = pure magic.

You are in for the experience of a lifetime!

If you’re even remotely thinking of joining one of the YSP trips, DO IT! It is worth it on so many levels. I had never done anything like it and probably never will again; it was so unique and special. There were many moments that I just had to stop and remember to take it all in: the beautiful scenery, the nostalgic summer-camp vibes, the bucket list (for me) activity, and the amazing, instantaneous new friendships of the weekend. I met 12 incredible women from across the country who are inspiring, supportive, and FUN. We built such a great bond in a matter of days and will always have that weekend and those memories that keep us connected.

The trip was also so thoughtfully planned, organized, and executed. The tour company that Laura chose was top-notch. We all felt safe and cared for under the guides’ expertise and kind, easy demeanors. Laura is a wonderful leader, friend, and co-adventurer. You are in such good hands, and in for an experience of a lifetime, if you choose to join her on one of her future trips. Seriously, go sign up right now.

This exceeded my expectations and was worth every penny!

I had a lot of doubt signing up for this as I was scared to do something different and was a little hesitant about spending the money. However, this exceeded my expectations and was beyond worth pushing myself out of my comfort zone and spending every penny!

The group of women I was with fell into an easy rhythm of authenticity and honesty. One of my hopes was to make more sober connections and this retreat really supported that endeavor. There's just something that feels different and right with being surrounding by likeminded people and folks who have been through a relatable experience such as getting sober. Although everyone comes from a different background and journey to sobriety, we all had that connection, and it was evident from the very beginning.

Additionally, the surroundings and Lake Tahoe were so amazing I cannot put into words! If you're feeling on the fence, just know you won't regret doing something special for yourself, the breath-taking scenery and ability to get out and enjoy it with some badass sober Chicas! Really a beautiful experience with which the hosts put a lot of effort. Thanks for a delightful and enriching retreat!

Felt like summer camp with brand new best friends!

The retreat surpassed my expectations and was worth every penny. I almost can’t put it into words! It felt like summer camp with a bunch of brand new best friends. The activities are fun and doable for any skill level.

The mindfulness yoga and sound baths are such a nice touch to remind us to slow down and embrace quiet moments. The sobriety workshops were equal parts powerful, emotional and laughter-filled. Our itinerary was just the right amount of full — I never felt rushed like we had too much to do or that I didn’t have enough alone or downtime. Laura and Sara did such a great job hosting ELEVEN ladies while still joining us as participants and friends.

I truthfully feel reset after the Lake Tahoe adventure and am so excited to have a brand new support group post-retreat. I already have my sights set on joining a Backpacking 101 YSP Adventure!

You get to learn how to be a BADASS in the outdoors!

This was my second YSP Adventures Retreat and Laura blew it out of the park, once again! 

This retreat in particular, is very special. Because, not only do you get to experience community/connection with like-minded women who are on a similar journey, you ALSO get to learn how to be a self-sufficient BADASS in the great outdoors!

We learned how to precisely pack all of the gear/food we would need into a single backpack, that would basically act as our house/lifeline for the next few days/nights. We learned how to filter water from nearby water sources and LNT (leave no trace) best practices, to keep our carbon footprint light. And soo much more- no spoiler alerts here!

The connections I’ve made with this special group of women will live with me forever. SO grateful!!

100% nourishment for my soul!

I remember finalizing my booking thinking “Am I really doing this? Planning a trip to meet a handful of sober strangers in a place I’ve never been?” I was so nervous. But from the moment I arrived until the last few moments we spent together, it was magic and 100% nourishment for my soul. Laura has an incredible gift of making people feel welcome and totally at home in her presence. Before I knew it, we were laughing and sipping mocktails and sharing our personal journeys and creating inside jokes and catch phrases. We ate delicious food and saw breathtaking scenery and recharged ourselves amongst likeminded people who really spoke and understood our experiences in sobriety. What I thought would be a quick and pleasant adventure turned into a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. RUN DON’T WALK at the chance to join a SoberPal Retreat with Laura. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

A life-changing experience!

A life-changing experience! I was super nervous about this one (could my body handle it, could my MIND handle it LOL?!) - and honestly felt so much relief when we were finally all together, giggling in the woods.

The guides were so passionate about backpacking, it was easy to feel comfortable. Being in the elements, with very funny and amazing and cool experts, took all of that pressure away and I feel like I can really do this! I felt safe. I feel prepared. And I'm so sad the weekend is already over.

Once again, gathering with a group of super cool strangers, sharing our hearts and fears and triumphs was one of the best parts of the weekend (and we did it all under the stars, between big trees). I left the woods feeling super empowered, inspired, and like I can conquer things I am anxious about.

Can't wait for my next adventure and to put into practice all that I learned and experienced. Huge and heartfelt thanks to Laura for building an incredible community of women - these experiences, and these people, are absolutely a major highlight of my time on this planet so far.
