Work Recovery™ starts here.
Rebuild your relationship to work. Regulate your nervous system. Lead from a place that’s grounded, strategic, and deeply human.
Work Is Changing Faster Than You Can Adapt
Teams are burned out. Expectations keep rising. Roles are shifting under people’s feet.
And most leaders are being asked to deliver at a high level while navigating:
chronic stress they can’t name
unresolved work wounds that show up as conflict or shutdown
pressure to communicate flawlessly in environments with no psychological safety
decision fatigue from nonstop change
time scarcity that borders on impossible
The modern workplace demands emotional regulation, conscious communication, and nervous-system literacy — yet these are the very skills most people were never taught. That gap is costing leaders their confidence, their wellbeing, and often, their careers.
Launching 2026: Work Recovery™ Certification
A new way to build the emerging skills today’s workforce is quietly starving for in community with other high-achieving women. This work will help leaders and practitioners deepen capability in areas like:
Nervous System Regulation for Leaders
Work Wound Recognition & Repair
Conscious Communication & Psychological Safety
Time Recovery for High-Stakes Environments
Work Recovery™ Foundations for Leadership & HR
If you feel like work is changing faster than your tools can keep up, this is where the next chapter of your leadership begins.
Former attorney and BigLaw C-Suite leader-turned-founder, researcher, speaker, and the creator of Work Recovery™.
Bree Johnson spent two decades inside boardrooms, law firms, and high-pressure executive cultures. She witnessed firsthand how work wounds — burnout, betrayal, bullying, and the erosion of worth — were wrecking the nervous systems of even the most talented leaders.
Her work now focuses on redefining leadership through recovery, regulation, and truth-telling. She integrates neuroscience, somatic psychology, lived experience, and organizational strategy to help teams and leaders operate from clarity instead of chaos.
Through keynotes, workshops, and consulting, Bree helps executives shift from performance-driven to human-sustainable.
