Full Circle
A Beyond the Title Wellness + Vision Retreat
“Close the chapter. Claim the clarity. Step into what’s next.”
October 22–25, 2026 | Private Mansion Estate, St. Petersburg, FL | 10 Women Only
Hosted by Dr. Phildra Swagger
The Invitation
You remember the room. The Beyond the Title luncheon - the laughter, the affirmations, the way every woman at that table left standing a little taller. That wasn’t an accident. That’s what happens when women who lead, give, and carry so much finally sit down together and simply be.
This year is almost gone. And before you rush into a new one, I’m gathering ten women — just ten — into a private mansion in St. Petersburg for a weekend built to help you close this chapter well and open the next one with clarity instead of chaos.
This is Beyond the Title, brought home. It’s the intimate, unhurried version of the Year of My Transformation experience — no passport required.
Picture this: Thursday evening, golden light spilling through mansion windows, your bags barely unpacked, and a woman across the room is already finishing your sentence before you do. That’s the room I’m building for you.
Why a Mansion? Why St. Petersburg?
Because closing out a year and designing the next one isn’t work you should have to do in a hotel conference room — or alone at your kitchen table at 11pm.
A private estate means no lobby, no strangers, no interruptions — just ten women, wide-open living spaces built for real conversation, and the kind of quiet that lets you actually hear yourself think. St. Petersburg gives us Gulf breezes, golden-hour porches, and just enough Florida sunshine to remind you that rest and rigor can live in the same weekend.
This 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath waterfront estate sleeps well beyond our circle of 10 — with breath-taking Gulf views, a pool overlooking the water, a full game room, and a chef’s kitchen built for the meals we’ll share together.
And yes — this weekend has real fun in it, not just reflection. Think poolside lounging, a game room that will absolutely see some trash talk, and a playlist that gets everyone up dancing at least once.
Picture this: One evening after the closing session, you’re curled into a wraparound porch chair, candle lit, journal open, the sound of your sisters laughing softly in the next room — and for the first time in months, your shoulders actually drop.
WHAT MAKES THIS RETREAT DIFFERENT?
Small by design — Only 10 women. You won’t get lost in a crowd. You’ll be known.
Beyond the Title energy, extended — the same sisterhood you felt at the luncheon, now with 72 uninterrupted hours to go deeper.
Rest AND results — not a spa weekend with no substance, or a planning intensive with no soul. Wellness in the mornings, vision work in the afternoons.
Led by someone who’s lived it — 25+ years leading organizations, coaching leaders, and rebuilding her own “next chapters.”
A framework, not just a feeling — you’ll leave with your Clarity, Alignment & Discipline roadmap for the year ahead, the same framework behind Year of My Transformation.
Shaped around you — a 1:1 pre-retreat call means I know what you actually need before you ever walk through the door.
The Framework : Clarity, Alignment, Discipline
Clarity - What are you closing out? What actually mattered this year?
Alignment - What matters next? Does your calendar, your circle, your commitments match it?
Discipline - What’s the system that makes next year different from this one?
Real Connection.
Real Conversations.
Real Women.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
Rest that resets.
Morning stillness, no alarms, no agenda before 9am.
Sisterhood that lasts.
Evening circles, a chef-prepared dinner, and a game room throwdown you’ll still be laughing about in the group chat come January.
Release that lightens.
A guided close-out-the-year ritual to name what you’re leaving in this year.
Clarity that sticks.
A vision + roadmap session that turns “someday” into a plan.

Permission to walk into next year with a plan instead of a scramble.

MEET YOUR HOST
Dr. Phildra Swagger
My goal is to build a community of women who see, uplift, and celebrate Her—and Her is in all of us.
As a strategic partner, executive coach, and consultant, I’m all about helping women like you lead with confidence and clarity - beyond the title.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with leaders from education to corporations and non-profits, guiding them to rediscover their passions and build teams that truly thrive. Along the way, I’ve worn many hats—wife, mom, sister, soror, friend - and each one teaches me something new about leadership, alignment, balance, and the magic of genuine connection.

I’ve learned that true success isn’t just about what you do; it’s about how you show up, how you live your life with intention, and how you make space for joy. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to life than just checking boxes, trust me, you’re not alone. We’re more than titles - we are walking into the next chapter, fully embracing “Her” - the powerful, confident, unapologetic woman you’re becoming.
