The Self Compassion Challenge
Welcome to the Challenge
​Welcome to the 5-Day Self-Compassion Challenge. I know you’re asking why start with self-compassion? I thought your thing was burnout. Glad you asked. Self-compassion is the birthplace of burnout resistance. Without it we cannot do the hard work of addressing the causes of burnout in our current circumstances and preventing it from reoccurring in the future. So, I am helping you to build the foundation you will need for a burnout resistant life.

This challenge is for you if:
-
You know that you are feeling a little or a lot crispy but lack the motivation to do anything about it.
-
The “never enough” track is on replay in your head
-
“No” is like the "4-letter word" you hardly ever say
-
Your inner critic is paralyzingly loud
If any of the referenced statements ring true, I have a challenge for you. What if you could turn off the “always on”, burnout treadmill and gave yourself a little compassion

Inspiration for the challenge
This challenge is inspired by the work of Kristen Neff, a leading self-compassion expert. This challenge is not just about being kinder to yourself. It’s about shifting our attention inwards so that we can do the work needed inside of ourselves. That work enables us to tackle what’s in our control when it comes to what’s burning us out. Each day, you'll explore a key aspect of self-compassion, learning practical ways to integrate these exercises into your daily life so that you can build the foundation for keeping burnout at bay.
-
What if I can’t make a session?That’s okay! All sessions will be recorded, and you’ll have access to the recordings and materials so you can catch up when it’s convenient for you.
-
What if I need extra support?You’re never alone in this journey. Along with our group sessions, you’ll have the option to book individual coaching sessions with Carolon for personalized, one-on-one support when you need it.

"Burnout is not just a catch phrase, its a part of my journey too."
I learned about burnout the hard way after taking a new position at a job I loved. Long story short... I went from a top performer, with promotion after promotion to barely able to concentrate at work. I was emotionally and physically exhausted. I came face to face with perhaps one of the worst seasons of my life. I eventually left that job, but it took 9 months to recover. This experience birthed the desire to make it so that burnout does not have to be a part of the journey for individuals, leaders, and organizations. Over the last 20 years, I have honed my skills in organization effectiveness, leadership development, leadership facilitation, leadership coaching, change management, and consulting. I, like you, am not interested in fads that don’t work. I need research based, practical approaches that really help with burnout. That’s why I created the Self Compassion Challenge. It's the first step for building a burnout-proof life. So, if you are really serious about beginning the journey to burnout resistance, join me for the challenge. Can’t wait to be in community with you.
