Real Over Perfect: The Anti-Burnout Wellness Talk We All Needed

2:30 - 3:00PM | Real Over Perfect: The Anti-Burnout Wellness Talk We All Needed

This session is about letting go of the pressure to be perfect at work, in fitness, or in life, and instead focusing on what’s real and sustainable. It tackles the issue of burnout, why so many of us feel drained trying to keep up, and how shifting our mindset towards balance and self-care can actually make us healthier, happier, and more productive. 

It’s not about chasing flawless routines or unrealistic standards. It’s about learning practical ways to look after your wellbeing without burning out, so you can feel good and keep going for the long run.
