**Women in the North 2026 Session Feature**
Boundaries, Burnout and Balance with Charis Nepinak from Choosing Change Counselling
Discover practical strategies to prevent burnout, set healthy expectations, and maintain balance. In this interactive session, participants will explore what burnout really looks and feels like, including how it may show up in their own lives, as well as in families, colleagues, and friends. Charis, owner and founder of Choosing Change Counselling, will guide participants through common signs of burnout and the role boundaries play in protecting personal well-being. Attendees will gain practical insight into recognizing early warning signs in themselves, building healthier boundaries, and responding with care when someone else may be struggling. This session acknowledges the many roles women often juggle and focuses on how recognizing limits, setting boundaries, and offering support to ourselves and others can help participants protect their energy, sustain balance, and show up as their best, both personally and professionally.
