International mindset coach, retreat leader, and bestselling author Marie Smith, M.Ed., CHWC, CLC, CPT, is celebrating a significant milestone for her Nashville-based personal development company, Golden Hour Coaching, which recently marked its third anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, Smith is launching her highly anticipated six-month group program, the Energize Your Life Mastermind, designed to help high-achieving women transition from burnout to balance and reconnect with what can truly fuel them—body, mind, and spirit.

Smith’s new program is built around her proprietary Golden Flow Framework™, a simple yet transformative rhythm of Nourish, Move, Rest, and Repeat. The structure offers a practical roadmap for women who may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from their own well-being.

“When women start to honor their energy instead of pushing through exhaustion, it can make a significant difference,” Smith said. “Energize Your Life helps women reconnect to what can fuel them—body, mind, and spirit—so they can lead and live with greater clarity, confidence, and calm.”

A former educator and personal trainer with a master’s degree in education, Smith’s approach combines evidence-based wellness strategies with intuitive, mindset-driven coaching. She is a certified life coach, health and wellness coach, and Clarity Catalyst trainer of CIJ The Clarity Catalyst, an eight-week course based on a Stanford University curriculum in mindfulness and emotional intelligence.

Through her programs, courses, and retreats, Smith has helped hundreds of women transition from “energy leaks to energy leadership,” guiding them to create healthier rhythms and rediscover their sense of purpose. Her mission resonates deeply in an age when professional women are often lauded for productivity but may not always have sufficient support for rest and restoration.

To celebrate the launch, Smith is offering a complimentary Energize Your Life Masterclass, where participants can explore practical tools for regaining focus, motivation, and vitality. Attendees will walk away with two valuable resources:

• The Nourish & Move Blueprint – a guide to fueling the body for steady energy, better digestion, and realistic movement routines for busy schedules.

• Rest & Repeat for Long-Term Energy – techniques to improve sleep quality, calm the nervous system, and establish sustainable, healthy habits.

Smith’s influence extends beyond the coaching space. She is the co-author of the 2024 Amazon bestseller Heal to Lead: Stories to Turn Your Wounds Into Wisdom, and her thought leadership has been featured in Canvas Rebel, Nashville Voyager, and Your Williamson Magazine, among others. She has also been a featured guest on podcasts, including The Self-Love Tonic, Momplex, and Gals Off the Grid.

Upcoming Events and Retreats

Smith’s work continues to evolve with new experiences designed to help women connect, reflect, and grow. On November 6, she will host “Music and Mindfulness” at Nashville’s Collective615, featuring musical guest Sadie Campbell. The event combines live music, mindfulness practices, and coaching around the themes of womanhood and resilience—a reflection of Smith’s holistic philosophy that transformation often happens when body, heart, and spirit align.

Looking ahead, Smith will co-lead “Awaken Your Senses”, a four-day women’s retreat in New Orleans in April 2026, focused on helping participants reconnect to intuition and the five senses through mindfulness, movement, and holistic wellness practices. Later in 2026, she will also co-lead an immersive retreat in Spain exploring the ancient pilgrim routes of the Camino de Santiago, a journey blending adventure, reflection, and spiritual renewal.
