India Reinartz started her journey of entrepreneurship because she wanted balance. Spending years managing and working for the dreams of others, India’s desire to be her own boss and, more importantly, be true to her own beliefs, were the seeds that became Papaya Wellness. Shortly after striking out on her own Carly Chivers came on board and they started changing the lives of others with force.
What is Papaya Wellness? India says it’s an opportunity to create balance in your life. Offering yoga, surf and mindfulness retreats in tropical destinations from Nicaragua (a place these Leading Ladies are lucky to call home) to Bali. It’s all about helping people step away, slow down and actually relax. This is anything but a standard all-inclusive tropical vacay.
“The shifts and transformations that come out of a week [at Papaya] are completely inspiring,” admits Carly. “It’s an honor to be a part of this process with people.”
Almost as inspiring as the transformation they help guest achieve is the personal growth that’s come from growing a company built on true passion from the ground up. We’re loving the advice that sometimes you just need a little “boldness and willingness to truly listen to your inner voice” to buck the norm and follow a path that’s as fulfilling personally as it is professionally.
Maybe a trip to Nicaragua is worth jotting in our planner.
