Burnt to a crisp: dealing with burnout in THIS economy

In front-facing spaces, we’re taught that the show must go on, no matter what. We’ve all become experts at managing everyone else’s experience while our own "battery low" notification has been flashing non-stop. With over 20 years in corporate management and over a dozen years in the beer world, Ren Navarro has been there; she’s lived the gap between high-level professional performance and total personal burnout.

This session skips the surface-level advice about "just taking a break" to look at why we feel so much pressure to never admit we’re struggling. Ren gets real about "toxic resilience"—the kind that treats overwork like a badge of honour—and why traditional self-care feels like an impossibility when you’re just trying to keep up with the cost of living.
