Meet Karla Fitz, Your Host
Hi, my name is Karla Fitz, I'm wife, mom of three, Certified Catholic Life and Business Coach, and host of The Catholic Life Coach Podcast.
For the past several years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside Catholic women as they grow into their identity as beloved daughters of God. Deepening their faith, and learning to lead their lives and businesses from a place of peace, trust, and alignment with Him.
I believe God calls us not only to build beautiful lives, but to become the women who can fully receive and steward the blessings He entrusts to us!
Assisi changed me.
When my family and I arrived in Assisi on pilgrimage, something shifted.
-
The pace slowed.
-
The noise quieted.
-
And I experienced a peace that felt almost tangible.
Assisi invites you to be present- to notice the beauty of the ordinary, to slow down, and to rediscover the abundance God has already placed around you. It reminded me that true abundance is not simply what we achieve or acquire. It is the life we cultivate with God, the relationships we nurture and the trust we place in His plans over our own.
Here, you walk among the places where saints like St. Francis, St. Clare, and St. Carlo Acutis lived ordinary lives with extraordinary faith, lives transformed by their willingness to say YES to God's invitation.
This is why I felt called to create this retreat. To create a sacred space where women can step away from the ordinary, encounter God more deeply. To experience the peace, beauty, and freedom that comes from surrendering more fully to Him.
I cannot wait to welcome you to Assisi!!

Come away for a little while, and make room for Him.

Woken up with such an overflowing heart of joy and gratitude. God answered my prayers in such a big way--my longtime prayer for deep Catholic Christian soul-sister friendships. All the sadness, all the hopes, all the stories and all the laughs we shared--only God could make that happen. Best birthday ever, on many levels. Karla, you are such a lighthouse for Jesus and our Catholic faith--thank you for what you created and putting your heart and soul into every minute of our time together.
Carrie
