Are we all simultaneously fascinated and horrified by the spiraling plot of the last season of White Lotus? (My favorite couple was Rick & Chelsea, by the way.) And all the while, you’re kind of thinking to yourself, "But I kind of want to go on a vacation now too..."

I’ve been trying to embrace ChatGPT more, and on a call this week, my team and I had a little fun asking it to compare White Lotus with Dare to Detour. Here’s what we got:

White Lotus:

Chaotic luxury
Drama in every direction
High-end existential crisis that no spa treatment can remedy
You return with secrets, suspicions, and a tan
You might come back with more baggage than you arrived with (emotional or otherwise)

Dare to Detour:

Soul-nourishing, nature-soaked goodness
Actual transformation (the healthy kind)
Deep convos with women who understand exactly where you are in life (and notably lacking murder subplots)
Returning home with direction and confidence instead of scandal and regret
Come back with clarity, confidence, and maybe a few new soul sisters who "get it" because they're living it too
Peaceful perspective shifts, leaving with insights, not unresolved trauma

One will leave you grounded, glowing, and totally in tune with yourself. The other might leave you slightly traumatized and questioning humanity. Basically, spot on!

Why Real Women Choose Real Transformation

Unlike the fictional guests at White Lotus, the women who join Dare to Detour aren't looking to escape their problems. They're women who are ready to reconnect with their authentic selves and ask those powerful questions: "What now? What do I truly want?"

While the White Lotus characters might get trapped in cycles of self-sabotage, I notice that Dare to Detour participants are:

Shifting careers into more aligned fields, or shifting out of the hustle into retirement
Finding more meaningful ways to connect with loved ones
Traveling solo for the first time
Redefining beauty on their own terms (grey hair and all!)
Making self-care a non-negotiable priority
Learning to play for joy rather than competition

The Morning-After Difference

After a White Lotus finale, you're left questioning humanity while maybe reaching for another pint of ice cream.

After a Dare to Detour experience, you're implementing practical changes that align with your deepest values, supported by a community of women who continue to cheer you on long after the retreat ends.

If you're ready for:

Peace instead of drama
Clarity instead of confusion
Breakthroughs instead of breakdowns
Soul sisters instead of suspicious strangers

...then perhaps it's time to Dare to Detour.

Because unlike White Lotus, this journey isn't about escaping life—it's about finally stepping fully into it, guided by women who understand that the most beautiful scenery isn't the destination itself, but the transformation that happens when you venture just off the beaten path.

Your Detour awaits. And unlike White Lotus, everyone makes it home alive and thriving.
