Session: (Mental) Health is Wealth - Don't pay the price of putting your wellbeing last
In a world that celebrates hustle culture and nonstop achievement, it’s easy — and dangerously common — to put ourselves last in the name of meeting deadlines. What we often forget is that after we hit one milestone, the next one is always right around the corner. Meanwhile, the cost of neglecting our wellbeing quietly accumulates in the background — until something eventually has to give. In this inspiring talk, Maria Torres shares personal experiences on why and how she made mental health a priority to sustain long-term success. Attendees will leave feeling empowered to protect their wellbeing, set healthier boundaries, and redefine what success truly means — on their own terms.Key Takeaways
- It's okay not to be okay
- Taking space for yourself will improve the quality of your work in the long term
- Opening up the conversation creates empathy and community, you're not alone and you're not the outcast
