Relieve Remote Work Fatigue with Our Five Days to Thrive DIY Retreat

If you’re feeling exhausted—or noticing that your team is—you're not alone. The fatigue is real.

We’ve all been navigating a long season of anxiety and stress. The global pandemic, ongoing social unrest, and day-to-day uncertainty have created a cocktail of emotional strain that’s taking its toll. And let’s be honest: even back in February, things weren’t exactly unicorns and rainbows.

Why You’re Feeling This Way

Our brains are wired for routine—it’s how we stay grounded, efficient, and focused. But since March, most of our familiar routines vanished overnight. In their place, we’ve had to rapidly invent new ways of working, living, and connecting—all while staying safe in an ever-changing world.

Add to that:

  • Constantly shifting information

  • Complex new rules for simple tasks (like grocery shopping)

  • The emotional weight of racial injustice and collective grief

  • The invisible pressure to stay productive

It’s no wonder we’re feeling foggy, overwhelmed, sleepless, and burned out.

It’s normal. It’s human. And it’s happening to a lot of us.

What Can You Do?

Here’s the good news: there are well-researched, practical practices that help.

We know from our coaching and facilitation work that certain approaches can help people:

  • Shift emotional patterns

  • Regain focus

  • Build a kind of emotional immune system for facing ongoing challenges

To make these practices more accessible, we created a flexible tool for individuals and teams alike:
🎯 The Five Days to Thrive DIY Retreat
