Thirty diverse entrepreneurs in Charlotte, NC, are embarking on a transformative journey as the inaugural Catch Your Breath cohort program launches. Developed by Hooky Wellness in partnership with the CLT Alliance Foundation, this 12-week well-being accelerator is designed to combat burnout and promote well-being among local entrepreneurs.
Starting on August 1st and running through mid-October, the Catch Your Breath program targets the significant challenges of stress management and lack of community often faced by entrepreneurs. The program combines online and in-person experiences, including group wellness activities and a graduation retreat, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment.
The program's highlights include comprehensive support through Hooky Wellness facilitators who will guide participants using their proprietary P.A.C.E. framework—Perspective, Accountability, Choice, and Enablement. This framework will help participants craft personalized burnout contingency toolkits and 90-day relief plans.
Moreover, participants will engage in group wellness activities designed to build a sense of community and peer support, addressing the common issue of loneliness in entrepreneurship. The mix of online and in-person sessions ensures flexibility and accessibility for all participants.
The Catch Your Breath program is expected to have a lasting impact on Charlotte's vibrant business community by reducing burnout and fostering an environment where both personal well-being and professional growth are prioritized. Erayna Sargent, founder of Hooky Wellness and producer of the Catch Your Breath program, emphasized the importance of supporting entrepreneurs in their journey to well-being for sustainable business success. "With Catch Your Breath, we are building a foundation for a resilient and prosperous entrepreneurial community in Charlotte," she stated.
