Jackie O Henderson shares highlights from her Besties retreat in the Southern Highlands after denying she lost money on Gwyneth Paltrow event
Jackie O Henderson has shared highlights from the retreat for her business venture Besties.
The radio presenter and her business partner Gemma O’Neill organized a three-day getaway to the Southern Highlands for 50 women.
After the retreat, Jackie O shared a video with clips from the fun outing on the Besties’ official Instagram page.
She also posted a video revealing that each woman received a personalized apron, headscarf, coffee mug, candle and a Bare Body beauty package.
It comes after Gemma denied the couple had lost money at their event hosted by Gwyneth Paltrow in October.

The speaking engagement, the first organized by the duo’s business venture Besties, saw the A-list actress fly to Sydney for a one-night performance.
Despite having a Hollywood-themed card, the event, which was held at the ICC theatre, was only half full – but O’Neill insists this was intentional.
“Look, we’re not professional events people and we’re very new to this game, but we’re really proud of the fact that we wanted to do it and we enjoy it,” O’Neill told The Daily Telegraph.
‘The ICC is the only location with more than 2,000 seats. You can book it at full capacity or at half capacity,” she added.
‘We booked for half capacity and sold almost half of 4,000 seats.’

Paltrow’s fee was estimated at between $150,000 and $500,000, and tickets for the event started from $100 and went up to $2,500 for VIP access.
O’Neill denied that a four-day trip to Kokomo Island in December, organized by Besties, received poor response, or that a second trip to Fiji, scheduled for September this year, was canceled due to lack of interest.
Paltrow sat down with Jackie for what was described as a candid conversation in front of a paying audience in October.
Jackie launched her business last year with good friend Gemma and said it ‘celebrates the most important relationship in your life: your best friend’.
Besties appears to be an event-based company that sells experiences for “best friends” to create memories together.
The couple also launched a line of Besties clothing in October.
