Building Burnout-Free

Leaders & Cultures

Hi, I’m Cara, The Burnout Lady, Speaker, Author, and Workplace Engagement Coach. I make burnout prevention and recovery accessible and fun for leaders and their teams.

In my first career, I spent 20 years learning how to survive and ultimately thrive in the 24/7, always-on, pressure-cooker real estate development business. My teams produced over 3,000 homes in the San Francisco Bay Area, creating over $1.5B in value.

Trying to be everything to everyone (except myself), I learned about burnout the hard way, and after a frightening wake-up call, spent nearly two years learning how to heal and create my own definition of a rich, full-bodied, joy-filled life.

You know what else I learned? That life-work balance, when done right, is not a zero sum game. When we are healthy, centered, and happy in our lives we show up much more creative, connected, and engaged at work. It’s the ultimate win-win.

Now I build burnout-free workplace cultures, helping teams build lives, careers, and businesses that truly light them up.
