On Tuesday 20th May, Pepper Money brought Retreat to Mortgage Adviser Event, with a rejuvenating experience that left a lasting impression. As part of our growing Retreat series, we invited brokers to step away from the pressures of their busy workdays by reconnecting with themselves through guided breathwork sessions led by certified wellbeing expert Jessie Laute.
The 20-minute breathwork sessions offered a much-needed moment of calm in the midst of the busy event schedule. Designed to help brokers reset and recharge, Jessie Laute’s calming and expertly guided sessions were a welcome opportunity for reflection and relaxation.
Krina Patel from J Savage Financial shared her thoughts on the session: “It was really good! Sometimes we forget about these everyday things we should be doing, as we are so busy… but these things are so important, and our job can be so stressful. It’s about taking the minute out for yourself, and it really can be just a minute. The session really didn’t feel like 20 minutes.
I downloaded the top tips PDF, and saved it onto my phone – as Jessie mentioned, you can apply this anywhere, so I am going to get into a conscious habit, and make sure I implement this, even if it is 60 seconds a day… especially in the morning!”
This event formed a key part of Pepper Money’s broader Be More You campaign – our initiative to encourage brokers to be the broker they want to be rather than the one they have to be. Through this campaign, we aim to support brokers in becoming more productive, confident, and balanced, offering practical tools to enhance both their professional and personal wellbeing.
With broker burnout on the rise and the fast-paced nature of the industry taking its toll, our Retreat programme is more vital than ever. These events provide practical strategies to build resilience, along with a supportive space to share experiences and explore self-care techniques that genuinely work.
Building on the overwhelming success of last year’s Retreat, our 2025 series aims to reach more brokers across the UK than ever before. We’re excited to continue bringing this much-needed initiative to our community to help brokers foster a better balance between their careers and personal lives.
Stay tuned for more updates as our Retreat series unfolds across the UK. Because when brokers feel their best, they can achieve more – both professionally and personally.
