Martha Melendez

Years ago she sat near the door at a women's conference with her exit already planned.

There was a year Martha couldn't name one thing she wanted for her own life.

Not one.

She sat with a notebook and made herself stay in the chair until she found five.

She didn't fix it with discipline, either. She moved her alarm five minutes earlier. Then another five. It took months to reach 4 a.m., and she'll tell you that on the first day so nobody thinks they're behind.

Before she had a stage or anything to sell, she was handing her phone number to strangers in the Publix checkout line, offering to show them how to write their vision down.

She learned how to move forward before she could see where it would lead. She's been teaching women to do it ever since.

She came here from Colombia and taught ESL before she sold a single house. Twenty years on she's a bestselling co-author, an Inman contributor, a Realtor with eXp on Florida's Space Coast, and she's been on HGTV's My Lottery Dream Home twice.

20+ years speaking & mentoring • Bestselling co-author • ICING Women's Conferences • Inman contributor • HGTV, TWICE

Years ago she sat near the door at a women's conference with her exit already planned.

She wasn't there to receive anything. She was there to leave before anyone could see what she was carrying.

Before she could stand up, she heard one word.

Stay.

She stayed. The speaker that night was Terri Savelle Foy, who later became her mentor. Martha now speaks from the stage she once planned to slip past.

Sueños is for the woman sitting near the door of her own life, keys in hand, smiling so nobody asks.

WHERE YOU'LL STAY

Your own room.
Your own bathroom.
Your own door.

A private villa near Orlando. King suites, each with an ensuite bathroom. A screened pool and hot tub. A long table for meals together.

Space to gather when you want company, and a space of your own when you don't.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON → SUNDAY AFTERNOON

What happens when we have time?

01 • Thursday

Stay

Step out of your everyday life long enough to hear what's been getting drowned out. Make room for something different.

02 • Friday

Pull the weeds

Get underneath the thoughts, fears, and old stories that have been shaping what you believe is possible.

03 • Saturday

Write the vision

With the noise cleared, go deeper into what you need to let go, what you really want, where God may be calling you next, and what it would take to make it real.

04 • Sunday

Move the needle

Turn what became clear into a decision and a first move, then stay connected with the women who heard you name it.

Your past does not determine your future. Write the vision. Believe. Take action.

MARTHA

your mesa

The retreat ends. The connection continues.

A mesa is a table. Yours will have three or four women at it, chosen on purpose.

They'll know what you're letting go, what you're dreaming about, and what you're moving toward. Not the version you'd give at a dinner party. The real one.

You stay connected after Sunday. Then you come back together virtually with Martha at thirty and ninety days to see what's moved, what's changed, and what comes next.

Nobody drives home and forgets.
