Troop leadership is deeply rewarding, but it can also be demanding, overwhelming, and all-consuming. Self-Care, Less Burnout is an engaging, practical workshop created specifically for Girl Scout troop leaders who juggle multiple roles while striving to deliver meaningful experiences for their girls.

Led by a licensed clinical psychologist who is also an experienced troop leader, this session explores the realities of leader burnout, common stressors, and the consequences of neglecting personal well-being. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how chronic stress affects both personal health and leadership effectiveness, and why self-care is not a luxury, but an essential leadership practice.

Through a compassionate, relatable approach, the workshop introduces sustainable self-care strategies that go beyond basic needs, with a focus on emotional, social, and psychological wellness. Leaders will learn practical tools such as setting healthy boundaries, delegating responsibilities, building support networks, and managing expectations without guilt or perfectionism.

Participants will leave feeling validated, empowered, and equipped with realistic strategies to reduce burnout, strengthen their leadership, and create a more balanced and joyful troop experience. Because when leaders are supported, troops thrive, and you can't pour from an empty cookie box.
