…and you’re looking for next-level self-care workshops for your staff – namely ones that not only work but stick – you’re in the right place!
If you’ve hired professionals to train your employees on wellness topics, specifically self-care, and the results were less than impressive – well, I’m not surprised.

According to Entrepreneur.com, the effects of stress costs around $44 billion in the US, 15.1 billion pounds in the UK, and $12.6 billion in Australia due to:
- Absenteeism
- Presenteeism (at work, but unproductive)
- Productivity losses
- Workplace accidents

Part of the problem of traditional wellness training is that they tend to take a one-size-fits-all approach, and I think we can agree that most things aren’t one-size-fits-all. Wellness and self-care are a dance, a flow if you will – each person lives a drastically different life than the next, with varying sets of circumstances and other roles and diverse responses.
A one-time training usually leaves your people excited by the fresh perspective, with nowhere to go and no one to help them.

My experience spans many years and started with my background as a former HR Manager who battled burnout and autoimmune diseases and being the daughter of an 18-year cancer warrior who fell victim to the prescription medication and opioid crisis.
I created these workshops from the ground up using my own experiences with the tools and resources I found that helped me create a drastically different life – all from taking an active part in creating it while using self-care as my footing. I share first hand how radical self-care and connection back to myself drastically diverted health destruction and transformed it into creating a much different life. I love to share the things I’ve found with the people who need them – your employees, for example.

Paid or not, it requires you to show up in your fullest light every day for others to give them what they cannot provide themselves. Giving yourself to such a cause leaves little time and energy to tend to yourself and your own needs. It takes its toll on your mind, body, and soul in a way only caregiving can. However hard it is, it takes a unique person to take care of others, and the importance of this role in your life is meaningful, needed, and wanted.
This cycle can leave you feeling confused, overwhelmed, and depleted.
You might be asking yourself, “How do I find a balance? What is the key to finding the time and energy to fill my cup so that the care I give is from abundance, not depletion?”

I have cared for humans and animals to the point of burnout, leaving me so mentally, physically, and emotionally depleted. This inevitably led me to explore the practices of self-care, especially for my emotional and mental health. Through that journey, I gathered first-hand knowledge of how to care for someone while caring for yourself.

Whether or not it “should” be is a little irrelevant due to our overwhelming demands as humans, both personally and professionally.

Using self-care as a safety net and refueling station, so to speak. The better we learn to take care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies, the more nourished we can feel from the inside. The brighter our inner lights shine, the more we become beacons for those around us.

- Absenteeism
- Presenteeism (at work, but unproductive)
- Productivity losses
- Workplace accidents
High chronic stress affects your cognitive functions, slowing your accuracy, response time, and ability to make critical decisions; it’s been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. There’s also a greater risk of depression compared to the general population, with business failure often associated with suicide risk.
A Huffington Post article cites:
- 33% of working Americans report chronic work-related stress
- 79% report not getting enough sleep
- 69% admit to struggling with concentration as a result of stress and sleep deprivation.
- These issues cost US businesses $300 billion each year in lost productivity.
- 44% of employees reported feelings of burnout at work
- 30% of employees frequently start their workdays feeling tired or low on energy.
- Insomnia costs companies across the US more than $60 billion annually.
Can burnout be a precursor to reliance on opioids and other illicit drugs?
You bet. More stress accompanies more responsibilities and roles. The demand to overshadow physical and emotional ailments to meet those demands becomes more important than caring for the body over time. After all, with so many plates to spin, who has time to be sick? Who has time to be in pain? You have things to do, goals to meet, people to see, money to make! It’s easy to look at the opioid epidemic and chalk these people up to just wanting to get high, but what if a percentage of these people are only trying to manage the demands of their life the best way they can? Prescription and illicit drugs are an easy outlet to do so. Too easy. As the body’s tolerance increases, more of the drug (whether prescription or otherwise) is needed and has severe consequences in every area of one’s life.
According to the CDC, from 1999 to 2017, more than 702,000 people have died from a drug overdose. In 2017, more than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, making it a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. Sixty-eight percent of those deaths involved a prescription or illicit opioid. On average, 130 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose.
So how can bringing in outside help like myself increase your ROI?
PriceWaterhouseCoopers found each dollar spent on workplace health meant a $14.50 return on productivity benefits.
- 89% of workers at companies that support well-being initiatives are more likely to recommend their company as a good place to work
- Increase in company culture
- Increase in company morale
- Happy employees create happy customers
- 61% of employees agree that they have made healthier lifestyle choices because of their company’s wellness program
- Decreased healthcare costs due to less doctor and hospital visits and medication
