In the high-stakes world of leadership, burnout is a pressing issue. Dr. Annise Mabry’s Rise + Release retreat offers CEOs the chance to reset, restore, and lead with resilience.
In the world of corporate leadership, burnout is no longer a rare phenomenon, it’s an epidemic. As companies demand more from their leaders, the pressure to perform intensifies, leading to decision fatigue, isolation, and a constant battle to stay on top. CEOs, executives, and leaders across industries face this challenge daily, yet their struggles often go unspoken. Enter Rise + Release, the groundbreaking wellness and leadership retreat designed exclusively for top-tier executives grappling with burnout.
The Unseen Burden of Leadership
For many CEOs, the path to success is paved with sacrifice. They hold the weight of their company’s future on their shoulders, constantly navigating complex decisions, managing teams, and keeping the company’s vision intact. Yet, beneath the polished exterior of leadership, there’s an undercurrent of stress, fatigue, and a looming sense of burnout.
Dr. Annise Mabry, the founder of the Dr. Annise Mabry Foundation and the Tiers Free Homeschool Cooperative, understands these challenges intimately. A renowned social entrepreneur, award-winning author, and national thought leader, Dr. Mabry has dedicated her life to addressing the trauma and stress that often accompanies leadership roles. Her Rise + Release program was born from a deep understanding of the unique pressures faced by CEOs and executives, pressures that, if left unaddressed, can erode a leader’s effectiveness, wellbeing, and longevity.
A Vision for Transformational Leadership
Unlike generic corporate wellness programs or spa retreats, Rise + Release is designed specifically for those at the helm, leaders who often sacrifice their mental, physical, and emotional health for the sake of their organizations. This program isn’t just about rest; it’s about restoration, renewal, and equipping leaders with the tools they need to thrive, not just survive.
Dr. Mabry’s trauma-informed approach to leadership coaching integrates the principles of somatic healing, beach therapy, and financial empowerment. Participants are guided through restorative practices, such as yoga, breathwork, and sound baths, which allow them to reconnect with themselves and the natural world. In a setting that combines the healing power of nature with the science-backed techniques of trauma-informed care, executives are given a rare opportunity to step away from the grind and emerge with renewed clarity and resilience.
The Rise + Release Experience
Every detail of the Rise + Release retreat is intentionally crafted to address the unique challenges that CEOs face. The program combines:
- Trauma-Informed Coaching: Addressing the deeper emotional and psychological impacts of leadership, providing tools for stress management and emotional regulation.
- Beach Therapy and Nature Immersion: Utilizing the therapeutic effects of nature to help leaders find peace, clarity, and balance.
- Somatic Healing: Incorporating yoga, breathwork, and sound baths to release physical tension and reenergize the body.
- Financial and Life Restoration Frameworks: Offering executives strategies to reclaim their financial and personal wellbeing, ensuring sustainable leadership.
Through this holistic approach, leaders are not only able to restore their health but also emerge with the strategies they need to prevent burnout and sustain their leadership effectiveness for the long term.
What Makes Rise + Release Different?
What truly sets Rise + Release apart is its unique combination of trauma-informed wellness and leadership development. Many retreats promise relaxation, but Rise + Release offers a comprehensive approach that blends personal healing with leadership growth. The program is built on Dr. Mabry’s own experience as a social entrepreneur, certified peace officer, trauma-informed coach, and nonprofit founder. She has spent over a decade developing solutions that address burnout, trauma, and stress, solutions that are grounded in both academic expertise and lived experience.
As the founder of Tiers Free Homeschool Cooperative, the largest online homeschool program in Georgia, and the architect of the nation’s first rural multi-agency co-responder program, Dr. Mabry has proven time and again that real change is possible when leadership is empowered to lead with resilience. Her work, which has supported over 6,000 families nationwide, demonstrates her ability to create scalable solutions that bring measurable results, a hallmark of the Rise + Release experience.
