Hi GSD Leader! Are you're constantly on the go, juggling work, family, or big goals? If so, then it’s easy to believe that burnout is just part of the deal. That “someday” you’ll slow down. That taking care of yourself means dropping the ball somewhere else.

But here’s the truth:
You don’t need to hit a wall to change your pace.
You don’t need to get sick to start healing.
You don’t need to feel guilty for wanting time to reset.

Because when your well-being is strong, your business thrives. Your boundaries strengthen. And your energy becomes magnetic.

That’s what we’re talking about in today’s real-life story featuring international wedding planner and powerhouse entrepreneur, Mel George, who joined us for an Instagram Live to unpack what SELF-CARE actually looks like in the fast-paced world of events, travel, and business.

We also shared a behind-the-scenes look at one of our GSD Wellness Retreats and how it is part of something bigger. A movement. A new way to GSD (Get Shit Done) that puts your energy, your alignment, and your growth at the center.

Mel is a mom. A destination wedding planner. A certified travel agent. A businesswoman who is constantly showing up for others. Sound familiar?

In our conversation, she opened up about how easy it is to get caught up in the idea that rest has to be earned. That downtime needs to be justified. That caring for your body and mind is a nice-to-have, not a need-to-do.

But once she started reframing wellness as strategy, not just a “treat,” everything shifted.

“I thought saying yes to wellness meant saying no to work,” Mel shared.
“Now I see that saying yes to wellness means I have more energy, more clarity, and more aligned clients.”

That mindset is the heart of the GSD Wellness Code.

You don’t need to book a plane ticket (yet 😉) to start your journey toward balance. Here are three quick tips pulled straight from our live conversation and the GSD Wellness Code:

💡 Design Your Day for Movement
Instead of waiting for the “right time” to work out, build it into what you're already doing. Use a walking pad under your desk. Take your client calls while standing. Track your steps. Even 5 minutes of movement can reset your entire mindset.

According to the American Diabetes Association, 10 minutes of walking after dinner can improve sleep and lower blood sugar levels. Especially important for energy and long-term health.

💡 Let Go of the Guilt
Rest is part of the plan. Schedule breaks like you schedule meetings. Make time for nourishing meals, sunlight, or stretching. This is essential.

43% of women report feeling guilty for taking time to rest, even when they know they need it. You can’t pour from an empty cup—and you don’t need to justify self-care.

💡 Surround Yourself With the Right Energy
Community changes everything. When you’re around others who value alignment over hustle, your decisions shift. Your confidence grows, and wellness becomes your new normal. It is a lifestyle.

In Blue Zones (regions where people live the longest), community is one of the top five factors linked to living beyond 100. Energy is contagious! So choose people who remind you to slow down, breathe, and show up for yourself.

If something about this hit home, it’s not a coincidence. The GSD Wellness Code was built for driven people like you, by someone who’s been through the burnout and found a better way. This isn’t another to-do list. It’s a simple, real-life framework to help you feel aligned, energized, and in control again.
