How We Work With Individuals
The Connected Individual Restoration Pathway
Women at Work By Design works with organisations to address the systems, leadership practices and workplace conditions contributing to women’s stalled career progression, burnout and career withdrawal.
Sometimes a woman needs support beyond a workplace program.
Journey Back to You provides a private retreat and restoration pathway for women experiencing deep depletion, transition or disconnection after years of responsibility, caregiving, performance and leadership.

Two businesses. One commitment to women’s sustainability and growth.
Women at Work By Design and Journey Back to You are distinct but connected.
Women at Work By Design focuses on the systems around women.
It works with organisations to address women’s retention, burnout prevention, leadership longevity, psychosocial risk, leadership architecture, workplace conditions and training women in burnout prevention.
Journey Back to You focuses on the individual woman.
It supports women when depletion has become personal, embodied and deeply felt. It creates space for restoration, reflection and reconnection beyond the demands of the workplace.
Together, they recognise that women’s sustainability requires more than policy, more than resilience training and more than time away from work.
It requires attention to both the conditions that deplete women and the personal restoration required when those conditions have taken a toll.
Journey Back to You
Journey Back to You may be appropriate for women who are:
Experiencing burnout or emotional exhaustion
The demands of work, caregiving, leadership or personal responsibility may have accumulated beyond what feels sustainable.
Successful on the outside but privately depleted
A woman may continue meeting expectations while feeling increasingly disconnected, exhausted or unable to recover.
Navigating a significant transition
This may include a career change, personal disruption, return from leave, illness, relationship change or a shift in identity and priorities.
Questioning how they can continue
The woman may no longer feel able to work, lead or carry responsibility in the same way.
Carrying prolonged over-responsibility
Years of managing, supporting, caregiving or protecting others may have left little space for her own needs.
At risk of stepping back or leaving
Without meaningful support, she may be considering withdrawing from leadership, reducing her contribution or leaving altogether.
Needing confidential support
She may require greater privacy and depth than a workplace program, coaching session or internal wellbeing initiative can provide.
A Restorative Pathway, Not a Clinical Program
Journey Back to You is not a clinical treatment program, medical service or corporate training course.
It is a structured retreat and restoration experience for women who need time, space and support beyond conventional workplace initiatives.
Visit Journey Back to YouWhat Journey Back to You Offers To Organisations
For organisations, Journey Back to You can provide a confidential support pathway for women who may need a deeper level of restoration than a workshop, coaching session or workplace wellbeing initiative can provide.

- women returning from stress-related absence;

- sponsored retreat places;
- senior-women support arrangements;
- corporate retreat partnerships;
- post-burnout transition support;
- integration with Women at Work By Design programs.
The relationship with Women at Work By Design
Journey Back to You does not replace organisational responsibility.
It does not suggest that burnout is an individual failure or that women should be removed from the workplace to recover while systems remain unchanged.
Its role is different.
Women at Work By Design helps organisations understand and redesign the conditions that contribute to women’s depletion.
Journey Back to You supports the individual woman when that depletion has already become personal.
One works with the architecture around women.
The other supports the woman reconnecting with herself within and beyond that architecture.
Together, they offer organisations and women a more complete response to burnout, career sustainability and women’s leadership longevity.
