PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT | Burnout & Recovery from the Stress Cycle
It’s no secret that our stress has gone through the roof in recent years. More and more women are reporting feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and burned out, and the external stressors we face are unlikely to change anytime soon. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that strand between women and well-being right now, Dr. Emily Nagoski explains what we’re up against and shows us how to fight back. In this session, she shares the difference between stress and stressors and offers practical, research-based steps to complete the stress response cycle and avoid or recover from burnout.

CAREER ADVANCEMENT | Untaming Your Career
Some women strive for career growth by trying to meet others’ expectations and even reaching for perfectionism. We think this striving will make us successful, but it leaves us uncomfortable using our voice to dissent and even feeling weary and stuck.

Glennon, who says “the braver we are, the luckier we get,” flips the script on imposter syndrome and challenges you to tap into your inner strength and resiliency.
