WHY CAROL IS DIFFERENT
A PERSONAL MISSION...
Carol is on a mission to help healthcare professionals prevent burnout in high-stress environments.
After 34 years in healthcare, she knows burnout isn’t theory — it’s personal.
She nearly lost her dream job to stress-induced migraines. She battled undiagnosed depression. She survived Stage 3 cancer during COVID.
But what changed everything wasn’t just resilience.
It was understanding how stress actually works biologically.
Unlike traditional burnout programs that focus only on calming the nervous system, Carol teaches healthcare teams how to complete the stress response cycle in real time.
Breathing resets.
Physical discharge completes.
Both matter.
Her science-backed two-step system translates decades of stress research into practical tools clinicians can use between patients — not months later.
The result?
Less accumulated stress.
More reclaimed days off.
Greater workforce retention.
KEYNOTE
WHEN YOUR SUPERPOWER BECOMES YOUR KRYPTONITE
AUDIENCE TAKEAWAY'S
Let’s face it, healthcare is a demanding environment. Your ability to provide compassionate care — without losing yourself – has to do with the answer to the following question:
How do we avoid burnout in when we work in high stress environments?
After 34 years in healthcare, Carol knows burnout isn't theory—it's personal. She nearly lost her dream job to stress-induced migraines, battled undiagnosed depression, and survived Stage 3 cancer during COVID—alone.
She discovered the two-step system that saved her career and gave her life back. Now she's trained thousands of healthcare professionals to do the same: thrive, not just survive.
IT WORKS!
The “Hand Writing Brain Dump” has helped me. The tracing out my thoughts with my finger, on the palm of my hand seriously works like MAGIC.

SIMPLE, YET SUPER EFFECTIVE
I absolutely love Carol Rickard’s tools & strategies because they are both simple to implement and yet super effective!! My favorite Carol’s tips are “mind pushups”, “mind dumping” and her “turn off faucet and drain the tub” concept.
