Nursing burnout left me another person…

One who longed to feel like myself again, to slow down, to feel alive, empowered, and full of joy.

One thing I know for certain is we all have a capacity to grow bigger than our pain, our fear, our burnout, and the constriction in our bodies and minds.

There is a map that leads to re-tuning your nervous system and rewriting your story. Together we will set foot on this path of empowered, embodied and expanded living.

You deserve to BE in your body - alive, awake, aware, and authentically You.

Hear it from our past students

“The tools from this course impacted my mental state in a very tangible and positive way. I fully recommend Rising in Resilience to find a way back to yourself and recenter!” - Brittany Partridge

“Jessica’s course came into my life right when I needed it the most. I was struggling with many aspects of my career and professional life. I not only learned incredible foundational tools to help me in the moment, it also gave me so much clarity and perspective to take a step back and really look at what was going on for me, mentally, physiologically, and spiritually.” - Sierra Partridge

“Jessica's class was phenomenal. I learned easy exercises and actionable techniques to rebalance my nervous system. The best part was some of these exercises are only a few minutes long so busy nurses can implement these at work or while on a break. I left every class feeling refreshed and like I had a new tool in my toolbox to tackle the next day.” - Christine Pardee RN

A Personal Letter From Jessica Conway, RN, MSN

High levels of stress, for long durations, without enough resourcing causes burnout and nervous system dysregulation. This is where the resiliency and flexibility of the nervous system is interrupted, often causing intense nervous system responses. This can manifest as severe burnout, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. Or, feeling flat and disconnected from self, others, and the world around you. Chronic stress and burnout also wreaks havoc on many body systems including the immune, endocrine, cardiovascular, reproductive and digestive systems. 

Under this kind of distress, we often say, “This is too much…I don’t feel like myself anymore…I feel stuck…I’m afraid this is never going to end.”

The difference between succumbing to the stresses of our environment and achieving optimal resiliency isn't simply mental strength, or emotional stability. Rather, it is grounded in our nervous system and physiology. That is what Rising in Resilience will teach you…to intervene at the nervous system and physiological level for optimal health and resiliency.

Rising in Resilience is designed for Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals experiencing nervous system dysregulation and burnout. We all strive to be liberated from the stress and pressures of life and to have practical tools to feel like our optimal selves. Yet, more often than not, when thrown into a stressful environment, for an extended period of time, we feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and often out of control.

There is an actual science, a neurophysiological framework, behind what is going on. Rising in Resilience is a 6-module, science-backed course, to help you overcome burnout and optimize resilience based on Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Psychology, and Neurophysiology.

This course gets to the root causes of stress and burnout, rather than just treating symptoms. You will learn how to befriend and operate your nervous system, grow bigger than your stress, prevent burnout, and liberate your mind and body from undo constriction. You will build resilience from the inside out, feel empowered and in control of your inner experience, no matter what’s happening in your outer environment. 

This is your invitation to rise in resilience, I hope you will join us!

Warmly, 

Jessica Conway, RN, MSN
