    Lisa Snowdon went to a retreat to combat burnout last year

    The 53-year-old model and actress suffered a difficult time in 2024 and began feeling overwhelmed, so she found it hugely beneficial to take a break, which included a 10-day digital detox and some time to connect with herself


    She told Top Sante magazine: "I went on a retreat last year after realising I was suffering from burnout.

    "2024 was a really s*** year for me with family stuff, bereavement and stress - add work into the mix and it just all got on top of me.

    "We all have a lot of stuff going on, but it's about how we process it, and I don't think I was processing anything because I felt completely snowed under.

    "So, I had a 10-day digital detox with some therapy and a bit of space away from everything - not being on your phone is honestly a game changer!"

    Lisa thinks it is important to be "authentic and honest" with her fans when she's going through bad times, instead of just sharing the good.

    She added: "I always try to be authentic and honest with my community about how I'm doing because we've shared a lot together and I feel like they've got me through some of my darkest, hardest times."

    Lisa found the retreat gave her the "reset" she needed and urged people to take time for themselves when they need it and not to think of self-care as a "selfish" action.

    She concluded: "So yeah, I was a bit frazzled last year but the retreat was a good reset.

    "It's so important to recognise when we need a bit of help because self-care is never selfish."
