Serving with strength — giving back without burning out.

Thrive Series: Battle Plan for Women Veterans

Serving with strength — giving back without burning out.

Women veterans are often called to serve long after they hang up the uniform—leading community projects, volunteering, mentoring, caregiving, and advocating for others. But continuous service without balance can take a toll.

Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. It’s your mind and body asking for a reset. The holidays are around the corner, are you already running on empty?

This session explores how to give back with purpose and protect your wellbeing. Learn strategies to set healthy boundaries, prevent burnout, and find fulfillment in meaningful service beyond the military.

Key Takeaways:
• Redefine what “service” means after military life
• Recognize signs of compassion fatigue and burnout
• Set boundaries without guilt
• Discover service opportunities that align with your values
• Build community through sustainable giving

Stat Insight:
More than 25% of women veterans volunteer in their communities—nearly double the national average—but burnout rates are significantly higher in caregiving and service roles.
