Making Burnout Better: How to Hold On in a World that Feels Too Heavy

Facilitator: Sarah Stevens, owner of Sanctuary Studios

Workshop Description: If you're a part of the working world, then the concept of burnout is likely familiar to you. It's something we're told to avoid at all costs, something we're encouraged to manage and "do something about" before it does something to us; but in a world that often feels too heavy to hold, is it possible to avoid burnout altogether? Or are the constantly competing expectations of our personal and professional lives too much for anyone to conquer, even on the best of days?

Join Sarah Stevens, owner of Sanctuary Studios, as she shares from her own experience about the inevitability of burnout, the valuable lessons she's learned from some of her darkest places, and the tools she uses now to help her keep her head above water.

In this workshop, we'll cover:

  • A bit about the science of burnout and the anatomy of the nervous system

  • Accessible strategies for personal resilience that won't add to your list of daily expectations

  • Organizational best practices to create reasonable expectations that reduce burnout

  • Interactive discussions and real-world applications
