About this Event

Beyond Burnout: A Nervous System Reset for High-Capacity Leaders Workshop

Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a nervous system response to prolonged responsibility, pressure, and care for others.

Beyond Burnout is a 90-minute educational and experiential workshop designed for high-capacity leaders, caregivers, and professionals who consistently show up for others—often at the expense of their own well-being. Facilitated by Stephanie Swearington, founder of Swearington Empowered Leadership, this workshop blends leadership education with nervous-system–informed practices to support sustainability, clarity, and grounded leadership.

Participants will gain a practical, accessible understanding of what happens in the body during chronic stress and why traditional self-care alone is often not enough. Through guided nervous system regulation practices and intentional reflection, attendees will learn how to shift out of survival mode and reconnect with their internal capacity—without clinical language or therapy-based approaches.

This workshop is not therapy. It is an educational, supportive experience focused on awareness, regulation, and leadership sustainability using practices commonly applied in wellness and leadership development spaces.


What You’ll Experience
  • Education on stress, burnout, and nervous system capacity—without clinical jargon
  • Guided nervous system regulation practices to restore calm and focus
  • Practical, realistic tools for use during the workday and daily life
  • Time for reflection and integration
  • A gentle invitation to continue the work through future workshops, retreats, or the Rooted & Radiant series

Who This Workshop Is For
  • High-capacity leaders and executives
  • Nonprofit and community professionals
  • Caregivers, helpers, and service-oriented roles
  • Anyone feeling depleted, stretched thin, or operating in constant overdrive

Participants are encouraged to engage at their own pace and take what feels supportive. Those seeking clinical or therapeutic care are encouraged to work with licensed mental health professionals.
