While there, Yazmin realized how effective these retreats were and how much good they could do for women in similar situations to her own.
Now, this British reality star says that she wants to use her platform to be a positive force in women’s lives. She has made it her goal to help women from all over the globe rediscover their self-worth, building them back up into beautiful confident “boss women.” In her video, Yazmin announces that she and a team of experts have created a wellness retreat specifically designed to life victims of domestic and narcissistic abuse rise out of and recover from their relationships.
